I get the impression this site is very left wing

Scroll to see replies

As the title says. I have a Theory as to why, it being a website for the millennial generation and as some of you may be aware, the millennial generation has been brainwashed by the liberal/leftist agenda since they were going to primary school. Hence why the younger generation think the way they do - liberal, overly compassionate to bad entities, no boarders, citizens of the world and terrified of offending anyone who isn't white.

Then explain why there are still right-wing "millennials", some of which holding near-facist beliefs, that have been brought up in the same school system. Maybe like yourself, I seem to grasp, or maybe it's just ignorance.

terrified of offending anyone who isn't white.

Come again?

I've found this place has the loudest right wing userbase of any forum I've been a member of... what planet are you on?

Yes, having been on TSR for a few years, I would suggest it is predominantly right wing politically. There's a large group of kippers and racists who post regularly, another group of right-wing Tories and a lot of libertarians. The ration of right:left amongst regular posters is about 70:30 or something like that.

Partly this is what we see on web forums generally, the influence of the tabloids and other parts of the right wing media run deep and also the activism of the last few years has tilted towards the hard right, seeking to inflame the immigration issue.

It is. It's a shame.

Why?

It's easy to be left wing when you're a young student and spending other people's money. Get tougher when you're having to work to support yourself.

You can be left-wing without left-wing economical beliefs, which I assume you're referring to.

A lot of people follow their parent's views politically, or those of people they grew up with. It's quite unusual actually for people to flip political views when they get to college.

So you read Breitbart, idolize Milo and call people feminazis? I'd rather be called conservative than "alt-right". Because that is who you are identifying yourself with. And well that is exactly what the alt-right is all about, seeing your privilege eroded and crying about it. Don't get me wrong, I find the PC culture abhorrent, but you are just the other extreme, and extremes are usually not good.

It's not really. Most students are vaguely left wing so there's that but in here, the loudest ones are the right-wing anti-Islam nationalists.

I would beg to differ.Maybe they just appear loud because you disagree? And in every thread they are in, you just nod your head to those belittling them.

Well liberals clearly do have more moral values than conservatives. Whereas Tories have more self-serving values. So Tories aren't "evil" but they are less in line with what we see as good IMO.

Would Jesus be a liberal or a Tory.

You are kidding? Religions are conservative af...your Jesus would not be liberal, he would be conservative.

Just pointing out that liberalism is a right-wing ideology.

Classical liberalism is a right-wing ideology. Think John Stuart Mill and the harm principle. Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same rights. These limits can only be determined by law

Modern liberalism is the polar opposite of classical liberalism. Big government, sjw censorship. Wrongthink - you're not allowed to have an opinion on anything that goes against the narrative because it might trigger the feelz of socially marginalized group.

In my case, I never comment on political matters because it doesn't interest me and is full of what I call 'necessary lies' where both right, middle, left, diagonal whatever you call yourself, lie in order to push their agenda and convince people.
However, I am focused on beta boys being deceived socially by feminists etc. So I always tell them the truth and its not what sofites like to hear. That is resulting in backlash from the SJW's here.

Why is diversity good? Who told you that? According to OP, the liberal propaganda has.

Personally I think there is a limit and that one should not strive for diversity for diversity's sake. And we should not tolerate intolerance in the name of diversity.

of course that there is no reason why diversity should be a value in itself

there are many reasons why a homogeneous society would be preferable

it's mainly a question of degree : a certain degree of diversity may be positive and productive, but beyond a certain degree, diversity simply destroys organized societies, and is a recipe for internal strife, conflict and civil war

was diversity an asset in former Yugoslavia ? or in Syria ?

I find the right wing group are most likely to make their own threads whereas a lot of the left wing group tend just to react to said threads, giving the impression that the right has more posters than the left. On the whole though I think a majority of users on this site are left wing, particularly the mods at times.

people tend to congregate with like-minded people, on particular sections or threads (and this of course nullifies the very purpose of a discussion forum).
This, in my experience, is true for left, right, Muslims, Kuffar etc etc

PC rather than left wing, I would say.

That's my point.

But I find it amazing how so many people can blindly follow this "we need to be open and diverse" mantra. And ironically anyone who doesn't comply with that is ostracized.
