The Politics Thread

Day 12

@NotYourAverageLurker  
Also libertarian/ancap even though I don’t subscribe to anarchist beliefs

@Shirani  
Apparently I am a Nihilist and a major Blackpiller.

@Commune  
@liquidsodanium  
@SonGokuMonkey  
@NotYourAverageLurker  
@Shirani
 
Okay, now I’m just worried
 
Fucking how

@FirelordofHyrule  
We’re all a little libertarian/anarchist, whether you realize it or not.

@SonGokuMonkey  
I mean, I did get a fair bit of that as well.
 
But Nazi? How’d I end up with that?

@FirelordofHyrule  
What the shit did you answer?

@SonGokuMonkey  
It’s just a dumb quiz, but I’m getting these kind of vibes.

@FirelordofHyrule
 
@NotYourAverageLurker
 
Well, I mean every human being on this earth is at least a little bit libertarian/anarchist, not just the ones who took the quiz.

@LR-Studios  
Give it up for day 12  

@Commune  
I got:  
“Your Result: Libertarian/Ancap  
81%  
Your chief disagreements with the left are economic, not social, and you adopt a largely “live and let live” view towards your fellow man. You probably don’t associate with/identify as alt-right, and the alt-right by and large only sees you as a foil for more vocal and annoying SJWs. You probably like guns and anime a little too much.”  

…just out of curiosity who here likes Anime?

@neutralgrey  
I do!

@neutralgrey  
If the subject is intriguing enough.

@neutralgrey  
I do also though I haven’t seen any that has interested me that much….at least right now…..

@SonGokuMonkey  
Well that’s obvious.
 
@PonyPon
 
@Shirani  
I mainly watch any anime that has characters that I like.

@neutralgrey  
Have you seen Spice and Wolf? It’s a great anime that has economic theory and practice, political intrigue, and romance rolled all into one!

@Shirani  
I’ll give it a look if I can

@uc9  
…what the fuck, why did i get “national socialist”? “Fascist” would be a more accurate term due to the importance i attribute to the state, and even then i slip the fuck away from both that ideology grid and “scientific” racism. FFS, i’m pro-choice.  
But anyway, this is for the alt-right purely. Even then, it gets hard to separate “just right-wing or far-right” from “alt-right”, if the intention of the test is to get inclusive.

@neutralgrey  
Love it.

@Shirani  
I’ve been meaning to watch that one for a long time. Haven’t been able to because ASFAIK Netflix doens’t have it. And I’m too broke to buy the DVD/Blu-ray.

@BadgingBadger  
NAZI BUDDIES  

We didn’t star the fire, no we didn’t light it but we’re trying to fight it

You are the last person who should be asking others for proof of their statements, but since you asked, here’s a list of laws that were proposed or became law in state legislatures during 2016 in the United States that either eroded existing protections for LGBT people or opened the door for greater discrimination, pre-empted existing protections, or that specifically targeted LGBT for discrimination:

I’m sure some if not all of these are examples of what some conservatives would call the “war against conservatives” and examples of the “LGBT Agenda” “shouting down” “conservative values”.
 
Did that provide you with enough examples?

I got Libertarian/Ancap too. Not a big surprise considering how useless the state is :P
