Who decided that it was "sinful" to be "racist"?
Who decided that it was "sinful" to say or think anything negative about gays?
Who decided it was "sinful" to say or think anything negative about trans?
Who decided it was "sinful" to say or think that women have a different role to men?
Why? Why can't we say or think these things?. No where in the bible does it say any of this is a sin. Quite the opposite. So who decided they were to be "sins"?
Even here we have rule 15 and rule 16. Why the fuck do we have rule 15 and rule 16?
Liberals live by no such principle save in the lies they tell themselves. They do so explicitly so they can blithely ignore the incalculable victims of leftist policies, including the people that they all seek to turn into tax chattel.
Unless forced to act responsibly, the main principles people follow are laziness and cowardliness. Except for the few militant religious pacifists, most people claim to be peace loving and non-violent so they can avoid conflict. Some people even use it as cover for their own bad actions.
I think that has always been the case for most commoners but modern liberalism enshrines it as philosophy. A religion that makes us feel better for nothing doing.
Which is the Crux of the "being peaceful while incapable of violence isn't Virtue, its being owned" argument is from.
It's a biblical concept, be innocent as doves but shrewd as vipers. Give no man reason to question your integrity. But when conflict arises you better not fucking lose.
It shows up in a number of martial arts, most notably Jeet Kune Do, the best course or action is 90% of the time to not engage for various reasons. Expertise is when you've reach that point, and everything previous is masturbation.
you are confusing liberals with leftists, which is a pretty common mistake especially in the United States. it doesn't help that right wing media keeps using liberal as a catch-all term for Democrat voters.
There is no meaningful difference between them.
A liberal is a leftist is a socialist is a communist. They're all shit, and while some might want to make differentiations between the texture, color or viscosity of one kind of shit from the other, all I need to know about shit is that I don't want it on my shoes. Nuance is unnecessary when dealing with shit.
that's some crusaders fallacy shit right there. especially in a battle of ideas, it is important to be able to accurately represent the ideas of your opposition so that you can properly counter it.
socialism and communism are extremely anti-liberal. many people who call themselves liberals can more accurately be described as socialist or communist because they are fixated on results and not method.
It's not a battle of ideas, that I refuse to touch the poop.
The reason why we are mixing liberal and leftists is because leftists control the media and all the other institutions. They are the ones that have shifted what it means to be a liberal, what was once a liberal value, colorblindness is now a far-right talking point. This was not done by any right wing media.
Liberals at the end, are not even true believers in kindness, they are just grandstanding moral values to feel superior to others. The more I talk to liberals the more I realize that they have no value other then "being liberal". I've watched my friends turn from "freedom of speech" to we must control "speech", from government and corporations are the enemy to the government is good and we need more taxes and corporations are somehow both their allies and their enemies. From pro-borders to anti-borders.
They did not change because the data changed, they changed because the definition of liberal changed and all they know is they are liberal, they are the "kind ones", "the smart ones", the virtuous. The rest are just details they need to fill in in order to belong.
You can tell I'm correct when they care more about slavery 100 years ago then slavery today, they care more about virtue signaling on climate then facts on climate, same with COVID, they still burry their head in the sand while they got boosted and even vaccinated their kids just to show how much they trust the science.
True liberals no longer identify as liberals, that what happens when someone controls the definition.
I don't play their games, and if the past 4 years have taught me anything it's that they can redefine anything they want, but that doesn't make it true. if you accept their redefinitions, you play into the Orwellian dystopian future were your kids won't even be able to think about opposition because a word for it doesn't exist.
That does not matter to my point, you said it was right wing media is the reason why liberal and leftists get mixed and that is false. You holding on to the old definition of liberal is completely irrelevant. My small rant was trying to make a point that most liberals had no liberal values so when the left changed the definition it took most of liberals with them.
We can still use old-school liberals but what is the point? Old-school liberal talking points are now far-right talking points.
