    Outside the little bubble he's created where he DESTROYS liberal snowflake SJWs there lurk adults only too willing to let him tie the noose and jump of his own accord.

    He's an idiot. :-D

    I stated the obvious. A 2 party system is of course umbrella politics (although there is more heterogeneity on the left). Right wing authoritarianism has been found, via psychological experiment, to be consistent with Republican party identity and not Democrat. I know you fellows struggle with reality mind you.

    I don't even know what right wing authoritarianism means. Right wing means limited government. How can you have limited government and authoritarianism?

    There is a large psychological literature on the topic. Perhaps do some reading?

    Sure. What reading do you reccomend?

    While I read that, perhaps you can read up on left wing authoritarianism such as China, the USSR, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba, Venezuela and Nazi Germany.

    Go to scholar and search for right wing authoritarianism. Stop pretending perhaps?

    There isn't any such concept. There is analysis into, for example, Stalinism. However, lefties hate that bobbins. See Orwell's cartoon if you need a clue!

    Maybe the problem isn't that conservatives are offensive, but rather that liberals are whiny and over sensitive...

    Hardly, after you folks elected that joke Obama, and seeing the clown show you present for 2020, I'll concede the comedy is all yours...

    Ha ha ha, very funny. I've changed my mind. You put such effort into your comment.

    Honesty may have escaped me temporarily.

    No. But I'll read what you reccomend.
    Seems a bit oblivious to dismiss the political philosophy that killed so many over the last century.

    I'm not interested in the poorly read.

    This amused me, given capitalism could end human civilisation. Shame you didn't actually understand Orwell.

    It isn't though. And this isn't an opinion. These are documented facts. Carlos Maza has called for violence. That's an example of the left being hateful and offensive.

    I have heard quite a few conservatives talk as if Orwell was promoting an authoritarian society. It is almost as if they missed the warnings he was giving us.

    That they misread him, for example, as right wing is the ultimate 1984 cartoon. Left-Libertarians are unfortunately beyond America. A McCarthyism history has created a cretinous understanding of libertarianism

    Poly, i have personally seen the left being hateful and offensive
    If that is what you want to say and get admitted... ok then

    I will point out that was not the topic of the thread
    Also, lets say maza is exactly what you say
    That is a great topic to point that out
    I fail to see how that point is best advanced by calling him a little lispy mexican queer..? You know, if crowder had stuck to the facts that you explained, THAT would be the topic

    So.... is there an advantage to what crowder did?

    It seems to me that bashing liberals, Democrats, environmentalists, feminists, immigrants, and others has become a pillar of conservative thought. If one listens to right wing media, a common thing that one hears is conservative commentators twisting every story, and often in a quite dishonorable way, to put the above mentioned in a bad light. All of the conservative commentators usually do it on an hourly basis. If that is all conservatives hear, how do you expect them to think otherwise?

    And yes, on this forum, pick a thread, any thread, and the familiar pattern emerges. Liberals, and some conservatives, trying to have discussions with well thought out replies, and along comes the usual conservatives who seen to have little more to say than to bash liberals. Like the threads about homelessness. All the conservatives seem to have to offer is to blame Democrats, and usually in a less than honorable manner.

    Animal Farm.

    Shame on you for not giving credit to capitalism for the millions of lives it has saved and trying to blame capitalism for an impending disaster which will likely never happen.
