I'm not sure how you people keep coming to this conclusion. I'm not a conservative. I'm not a fan of Trump, and I disagree with a huge amount of conservative and right-wing politicians across the country, including the ones in my own state. I'm a registered libertarian. Is it because I don't believe in identitarianism and don't target disdain towards the right in every single political MB post I make? Seriously, these attempts at pinning down my political ideology have been pretty off the mark so far.

Tucker Carlson can burn at the stake with the rest of the culture war sword swingers.

[MERIT] is more interested in lecturing people than having a discussion with them (especially if they dare to disagree with him, at which point he responds with insults and name calling).

66Sexy is a left-leaning jokester who can at least explore an idea.

Fluff isn't racist but he'll always be there to defend racism and racists because quickmafs.

Anyone equating Nazism with socialism just because it's in the name needs to learn what both of those things mean.

Y'all ****in retarded.

This has been the Frown update.

And I guess elph has nuggets of wisdom interspersed between his "omfg please don't try to help us" try hard bull****.

I don't like Sam Harris and I've listened to/watched a few lectures by Peterson.

[windsock]

Nah my room's a ****ing mess. I am a fairly unhappy individual so maybe Peterson has a point there.

I've never met a libertarian who wasn't either an older complete dickbag republican who was just soft on social conservatism (even though in their heart they still were on board) or a young'un who just didn't quite know what they believed in but thought that being a moderate was a real position and not just being confused about what they truly believed. Or even worse a young republican who hated liberalism as much as republicans and hoisted aloft the flag of conservatism but just didn't really care about gay marriage while being willing to suppress it for the sake of the economy. I say even worse cause god those people are *******s but will be alive long enough to make the world suck for a long time.

[windsock]

Well if I was a dickbag Republican I'd register as such. Don't know many Republicans who voted for Kirsten Gillibrand here in NY.

Libertarian=embarrassed Republican.

You start to notice trends after a while and you're aligning pretty cleanly with closet conservative.
