The absolute hypocrisy in Liberal Politics today.

There is stunning hypocrisy in that Liberals oft like to celebrate the idea that it is a privilege to utilize certain social vehicles, these privileges of course are exclusively to the Left and to the extent that any conservative or otherwise not affiliated with the Left uses them, it must universally do so by its own rules.

The Liberals can do this, they note because they have the direct ownership over these social, economic and educational spheres. And where they don't have control, they like to wrestle it away(creationism).

And amazingly, despite bragging they have this control they can also out of their breath in the same sentence utter 'voter suppression'(or any other sort of suppression) to justify their cause and rally public(ignorant) support to the cause which gives them the political capital to do those things.


But what if the shoe were on the other foot, what if Liberals were under the yoke of conservative rule? I don't mean their little fears and fantasies, I mean the actual reality on the ground. Conservative restaurants, or conservative news letters or conservative ran associations that they can only behave as a conservative would have them behave.

We already know how they would behave: Hysteria, they're oppressed, etc. And yet, they have no problems oppressing those they don't like. Hypocrite meet thou in the mirror.

 

What the h... are you talking about now?

 

You can't read? That's not really my problem.

 

You are making vague claims about "the absolute hypocrisy in liberal politics today." Be specific. What are you really complaining about?

 

The hypocrisy is that Liberals by their own admission have the tech industry, they have the media industry and they have the teacher's unions. And thus, they largely rule over the social sector of America(regardless of political power in Washington). At the same token however, they claim so-called voter oppression and if they had to face the same social rules that they put on others(and they don't have to), they'd cry foul.

This is basically verbatim for what I wrote, none of it vague. Vagueness would be something without a specific complaint or statement.

 

Repubs engage in voter suppression

 

What's holding the repubs from engaging in the social sector?

 

How do they do that, exactly?

 

LOL Exactly my thought too!

 

There is NOTHING WHATSOEVER stopping the Extremist Right from having their own centers of education like Liberty University that churns out indoctrinated graduates who cannot compete for jobs in the private sector or public schools.

The Extremist Right has more than enough OWNERSHIP of their own DISINFORMATION media that LACKS credibility because they peddle QAnon Conspiracy drivel.

The HARSH REALITY that it takes a GOOD EDUCATION to compete in the Tech Sector with a sound KNOWLEDGE of STEM subjects.

The Extremist Right abhors education so ALL of your complaints are SELF INFLICTED.

Sad!

 

Wanting to eliminate mail in vote, restricting when and where to vote.

 

In liberal democracies, it is the voter who decides who represents the majority of the public and who is "in control".
Are you advocating for a right wing coup and a change in constitutions?

 

The liberals don't "have" the tech industry and the media industry. First, they never "admitted" "having" them. Second, except PBS and NPR, those are privately owned companies that, according to conservative free market ideology, can do whatever they damn please. If they want to eliminate hate speech on their site, even if you think this is conservative speech, nobody can tell them not to.

Now, how well is Parler doing?

 

Example: in the South there is a tradition called "souls to the polls" where Black church members go to church on an early voting Sunday, then, as a group go to vote. They then return to Church for a meal. Florida tried to do away with early voting on Sundays and failed now Georgia in order to prevent "voter fraud" is trying to do the same thing. This not only is an attempt to suppress the Black vote, it is "anti Christian."

 

Are we really going to argue they don't have the tech industry? What is Silcon Valley? Even the token congressional meetings to 'appear' tough on Zuckerburg was just that: Token gestures. It doesn't matter what Parler or anyone does. With the 'sick em' national political strategy, anyone is made out to be an eyesore and an example of, and then promptly dealt with.

I literally think that if Donald Trump had won the elections, liberals would be on the side of conservatives now.(and most conservatives admittedly would be shrugging their shoulders at the 'plight' of Liberals)

 

Your blather would make sense if it is actually the “EXTREMIST Right” that is being attacked. But it’s not. Dr. Seuss isn’t extreme. Muppets or Mr. Potato aren’t extreme. And If Fox is extreme then so is NBC and the NYT and even Disney. EVERYONE IS EXTREME NOW THATS THE PROBLEM!!! Leftists are calling everything they disagree with extreme. If you vote Republican? Oh you’re a Nazi and racist now. It’s OK to call Trump a Nazi and NOT lose your job but reference a completely legitimate comparison to what Germany did, turning neighbor against neighbor, and youre cancelled!!!

And it’s the it amusing YOU are taking the exact attitude that is racsit and bigoted. Why didn’t black people just create their own businesses after they were being burned? Why couldn’t they just ride their own busses, drink from their own water fountains, ect!!! Go to their own schools!!! Why can’t they just go to their own cities!!!!! Maybe just create their own country and get out of OURS!!! Use their own internet!!!! Here’s a hint. All those techie guys in the 70s and 80s who built the internet...NOT Leftists. The people who actually built Amazon. NOT really Leftists. Thiose who built every major corporation. NOT Leftists. The leftists came afterwards. Even Hollywood. NOT all that Leftist until recently. The Left is extreme. Liberals and Democrats are NOT. Republicans are NOT. There is no extreme Right with any sort of power or influence. The extreme Right exist in basements.

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA!

Next time try addressing the ACTUAL CONTENT of my post instead of whatever might have triggered that IRRELEVANT screed above.

Since you mention the Founding Fathers they were LIBERALS who embraced concepts like Democratic Elections and Freedom FROM Religion and SUPPORT for SCIENCE!

They even put a GUN OWNER REGISTRY in place AND set up a government HEALTHCARE system.

But don't let the FACTS stop you.

 

Liberals don't "have" the tech industry. However, people who work in technology, science and innovation tend to be more liberal, because they value knowledge, education, science etc. On the other hand, Fox News, Newsmax etc. (which are also media, btw) cater to the misinformed, the science deniers, the education haters, the conspiracy theorists etc. You decide which side you want to be on.

 

They "happen" to be more liberal, because they value "knowledge, education, science, etc." And only liberals are the knowledgable ones. That's exactly my point. It's their "knowledge and education" that shapes American discourse. So how could one not acknowledge their advantage and how can we ignore it?

 

What does politics have to do with technological research?
It is like saying "he is a Jew so somehow that is bad". The suggestion being that somehow the product they produce is harmful to society as a whole.
It is called discrimination (and paranoia) and is a silly argument.

 

The government can’t fix this country’s polluted media

• By George F. Will

As the progressive campaign to regulate unprogressive speech seeps out of campuses and into mainstream politics, the party whose base includes academia is behaving predictably. Last week, Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.), chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) of the Committee on Energy and Commerce and chairman of the subcommittee on communications and technology, convened a hearing for the undisguisable purpose of intimidating cable and streaming services that distribute conservative content, or what nowadays passes for that.


On Feb. 22, two California Democrats, Reps. Anna G. Eshoo and Jerry McNerney, sent to AT&T and other entities letters declaring that “the right-wing media ecosystem” — they named Fox News, Newsmax and One America News Network — has produced “our current polluted information environment.” The pollution is undeniable. So are progressives’ contributions to it, e.g., their obsession with 2016 “Russian collusion,” their ludicrously solemn and extensive interviewing of Stormy Daniels’s felonious lawyer, Michael Avenatti, and their beatification of New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) during the pandemic.

Eshoo and McNerney, however, economize their indignation by focusing on the right. In their letters, they demanded to know, among other things, how many of the cable and streaming services’ subscribers watched the three disapproved channels in the weeks prior to the Nov. 3 election and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, and “Are you planning to continue carrying” the three channels, and “If so, why?” There being no conceivable legislative remedy, compatible with the First Amendment, for what displeases Eshoo and McNerney, the bullying purpose of their letters was patent. . . .

 

This is the crux of the problem.

 

From distance, I have to say that anyone who doesn't laugh at QAnon and the guy with the horns-type conspiracy theorists must be buying some great stuff.

Now there is a theory...sell enough dope to the nutjob and then run an election and see what you get as POTUS. Has the last four years in the US been a dry run?
In a democracy how do you stop crackheads from taking over power?

 

Whats funny is the OP actually expected some REAL answers from the left. The left will not admit this HYPOCRISY but it is very easily proven. Gina Carano for starters.
Here is a perfect example:

HYPOCRISY FAIL #1
So they value education? Then why are most schools still closed but illegal kids are currently getting tax payer funded free education?

HYPOCRISY FAIL #2
They value science? You mean the kind of science where Corona can't be spread in a restaurant while sitting down but putting the mask on when you stand up somehow fixes this? Yup, thats some great science right there. Einstein would be proud!

HYPOCRISY FAIL #2
He's trying to rip conservative media outlets but pretends there are no science deniers on the left, they supposedly LOVE education (for ILLEGALS) and Conspiracy Theories exist on BOTH sides

As you can see ladies, gents and theys, Most of these libs can't make it through a single sentence of their every day lives without some kind of HYPOCRISY and thinking they are better than everyone else

Lets be sure to shove these FACTS in their faces every chance we get.

Let's also take in the fact that these people voted in an OLD WHITE RACIST MAN when they had their choice of every gender, race and sexual preference under the sun for a candidate.

PATHETIC

 

When I was in college, circa 1980, I attended a lecture by a visiting physics professor. Among other things, he told us that he thought that the world of the future would be divided between those who understood thermodynamics, that is the flow of energy, and those who did not. He was advocating for a highly educated, highly technological society, as a way forward. But at the same time recognizing that there would be those who saw things differently, who would resist with all their might.
