Really? We would be better after blocking quite the range of views we don't like?

Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)

not the views we don't like, but the ones that cause harm and suffering for western societies.
Imagine a world where news was balanced and progressives had equal media representation.
looks like cool discussion downwind but why should we even argue about what is "conservative"
you're interested in conserving resources? you got some canned food in your cubbard? you tried to teach your kid whatever bullshit you thought was important from your folks? BOOM you're a Filthy Conservative.
I'm interested in conserving the word "cupboard"
damn swear i knew some one on the internet would come after for that
you're not wrong though
Old Mother Hubbard glares disapprovingly
some individual should explain to her about phonetic spelling and it's all irrelevant, as long as you understand the context and hopefully the nuance
I am so sick of the word conservative. It's not conservative, it's fucking regressive. It's back sliding our society into a world that never really existed in the first place.
It’s not conservative, it’s fucking regressive.
I mean, Liberals aren't particularly liberal and far too many of the Progressives are barely progressive. Libertarians don't seem that interested in liberty. Centrists can't find the center. Plutocrats are immolating their capital. The Meritocrats are unqualified. The Technocrats are incompetent. Only the Fascists seem intent on delivering results consistent with their brand.
The democratic party is run by conservatives that are keeping the liberals and progressives in check. The republican party is so far off the deep end we need a new word for what they are.
I've managed to find a few that can describe the Republicans:
- Nazis
- Neo-Nazis
I don't disagree. The world liberal is wasted on the Democratic party. They're not liberal. They're just the only valid opposition to the Nazis. Even if their policies are conservative.
They’re just the only valid opposition to the Nazis.
I think you're asking "opposition" to do more heavy lifting than it can bear in that sentence.
They’re just the only valid opposition to the Nazis.
They've rolled over so fast and so frequently that I'd hardly call them "opposition" without prefixing it with "controlled".
The most influential force in Democratic Party leadership right now is Bitcoin Banks, ffs. They're fully rotten.
I say this all the time and somehow people just can't see it. Who cares what they call themselves. Its what they do and what they want that describes them.
Love how even in this future people still park on the fuckin sidewalks.
Cant change the fact that people suck
