I left the left, but wound up in the center with some left and some right leanings, rather than shifting into the right wing.

I still consider myself a liberal since I still very strongly believe in liberal values, but liberal is not synonymous with leftist.

There is a BIG Difference between Liberal and Leftist.

I took the red pill. It told me to vote Corbychov. confused

I think we need to stop "framing the narrative" as Left vs Right / Progressive vs Conservative. It's as if one's political affiliation is the last bastion of sanctioned prejudice, and by labeling people This or That, we give ourselves a cathartic excuse for acting out against those "not like me".

I prefer to see this as Rights and Responsibilities: a focus on behavior rather than people. You need both R's. Rights w/o responsibility encourages narcissistic recklessness ("I can do whatever I want, nah nah nah"wink; responsibility w/o rights ... well, that's slavery.

We need to start focusing on what unites us, not divides us (and one of those things is our incredible system of laws, or Constitutional superstructure, with its separation of powers, which has enabled the US to thrive for 240+ years). Unfortunately, people dig and dig through websites til they find ones that hold their views, and this fosters hunkering down in little ideological trenches. I don't see how the US can survive til the end of the century if this national self-fracturing continues. E unum pluribus.

Very true. By definition on paper I am a true liberal aka classic liberal. True liberals though dont exist much anymore.

True liberalism, the people that like the idea of John Locke were high jacked by this neo progressives, totalitarian, marxist, socialist ideologies and movement.

If you go and look up classic liberalism. Its nothing remotley close to modern day liberalism. Which is this far left progressive identity politics based on race, sex, gender and feelings..

I prefer to frame it as individualist vs collectivist. I can respect an individualist political stance, such as liberalism, libertarianism, and several strains of conservatism, but collectivist ideologies such as marxism, fascism, naziism, the alt-right, SJWs/neoprogressives/cultural marxists, etc. just don't earn my respect. Generally though I can coexist with people I hold political disagreement with, one of my friends in highschool was an SJW.

"Over the last year, I went from socialist progressive to capitalist libertarian. I took the red pill, and I wanted to share my experience."

What an edgelord.

Sable
What was wrong with what he said?

Robtard
I didn't watch the video for more than 5 seconds, I see nothing to gain from it as I rarely (if ever) find value in youtube vanity vids like this with people talking about themselves.

What I copy/pasted was in the description field, found it funny. Like what's the response, 'good for you?'

Sable
But he wasnt talking about himself for vanity

Surtur
The people who have left the left are probably regretting it now. Great things are happening, Hilary is charging $2400 for the privilege of meeting her when she is on her book tour.

Oh no.

I've also no doubt that in another 12 months or less Mr. Redpill will go from being a "Capitalist Libertarian" to something even edgier, say "Anarcho-Conservative".

Surtur
The anarcho conservatives vs the anarcho communists. What a battle that would be.

A failed attempt, you do get a redo though.

Of course you did Rob, of course you did.

sorry surt. there probably are videos like that, if you're into that sort of thing.

You really shouldn't tease the lad over such subjects, he can't handle it

it's not projecting. i'm not the one who habitually posts butt-sex fantasies about other guys here. that's your's and fly's game.

Actually you talk about dicks and sex acts with men far more than anyone else here lol. It's kinda funny, but if you don't want to come to terms with yourself that is okay, continue to project.

let's just drop it now, before my virgin cornhole becomes the topic yet again,
as it has many times before, since you're so deep in the closet that you're finding christmas presents.

Like I said, continue to project. Everyone here will accept you once you are ready to be yourself.

What an edgelord.

It is telling that he titled the video "My Red Pill Story." The Red Pill is a virulently misogynist, right wing MRA group. See: Welcome to the Red Pill: The Angry Men's Rights Group That "Knows What Women Want"

There is significant overlap between members of The Red Pill, and the core supporters of Trump. I posted about it here:

It is what I have said all along: people who need to scapegoat others for why they are abject failures, and who need groups to whom to feel superior.

Bashar Teg
it's the same old story. poor boy got his heart broken, some trifling tart defied his "no kissing" rule, so now he has to spend his life fighting the cucks and conquering all the easily upset low self-esteem fat women on tumblr, and bragging about his self-enlightenment on youtube. maximum edge achieved.

Ah, I figured it was just an edgy reference to the Matrix and having ones eyes opened to reality he was using here. That actually makes more sense, he looks and sounds like a whiny "incel" type.

They have a truly horrific and pathetic subreddit dedicated to this. These people are among the most disgusting and mean spirited people you will ever see, reading their posts on there is both fascinating and dispiriting. They've become so depraved and desperate that many of them think that women should be assigned to men like property. And they take pride about things like refusing to hold a door open for a woman carrying a newborn baby at a store and then getting joy out of watching her struggle to open it herself. They are as ugly on the inside as they are on the out.

This is how I feel about all of reddit, which is why I refuse to spend time there.

i'd say that they should be mass-sterilized, but what would be the point?

More like he got friendzoned by a socialist progressive, so he became a capitalist libertarian.

People who wildly change their social and political views on a whim are mentally unbalanced.

Critical Theory seems to have a heavy influence on leftist politics..

But tbh, the left simply doesn't seem all that relevent in this country, except to rile up and mobolize the marginalized to vote. Other then that, the neo-liberals capitalists looking to get rich.

You certainly don't see "tear it all down" leftists in any real position of power.

The left has been great at reminding everybody what this country is about. It just so happens that what the country is about is the opposite of what the leftists believe, but they have served as great reminders for why they things they do not believe in are necessary.

Plus the good news is that if the rest of the world ever decides to embrace the "diversity in appearance, but not in thought" outlook...we can look to them for advice.

That assumes they are capable of giving advice and aren't out protesting people who hurt their feelings.
