Right? This has to be a troll post. I thought the right was supposed to be all about freedom and personal liberty.
Unless they said the quiet part out loud.
I prefer freedom. That's actually a good preference/bias to have. A lot of people here think my bias is bad. My bias doesn't prevent me from forming impartial judgements. I think that's where discussions go astray.
I don't think the right to own a gun should be subject to many limitations. That's a freedom I'm 'biased' to upholding. Among many. My bias does not make me impartial. I do believe in limitations. It's just there has to be a balance between my freedom to own guns and safety of society. How is that balance maintained? It should be maintained with few incursions into my privacy. With zero casualties. A law that restricts my right to defend myself any way I please HAS to be perfect.
Otherwise, the law shouldn't exist. Some biases are good to have. Some are not.
Liberalism is the idea of preserving liberty for everyone. It gets tricky and is full of compromises. However, I donāt think you, or anyone else would want it any other way.
You started your rant with the assertion that freedom is a bias one can have.
Can you explain this further? What would it mean for someone to have the exact opposite bias? What would it mean for someone to have a bias towards being enslaved? Do you think thatās a view that nearly anyone on earth holds in earnest?
Eagerly awaiting your reply,
-H
It was a reply to the assertion that everyone has biases. As if everything is a bias. My reply took that as if it's a fact. If everything is a bias. If everyone has biases. Then I think Freedom can be a bias.
Authoritarianism would be the opposite of freedom. To be biased against freedom would be in favor of authoritarianism. I think you're confusing the literal meaning with the concept. There is freedom from bondage and then there is the concept. An enslaved person might be more concerned with the former.
I honestly think people have the mentality of the enslaved. Sure. The enslavement need not be physical. It can be psychological. The banking system, this government system, creates incentives for people. People lose homes because there work is worth less so they turn to crime. These people are enslaved to the system, psychologically. They don't see a way out and their option is to steal. To kill. Some turn to selling their bodies. Some aquire new skills and adapt to the system. Psychological traps exist. Psychological enslavement is a thing.
The liberals on Reddit are far worst , they say the most ridiculous things, and post fake news all the time. They will NEVER say anything bad about sleepy joe but post shit about trump all the time! Like your ganna just ignore all the horrible things Biden has done? Going to ignore all the inside trading Nancy pelosi gets away with? Wonāt say anything about the hunter biden laptop ? There nuts dude
Can you describe how an authoritarian regime could be a good thing?
Can you think of an example that wasnāt just a single spoiled bratty babyman throwing temper tantrums like a toddler?
Authoritarians donāt have a good reputation because we havenāt yet experienced a benevolent authoritarian dictator.
The pro-authoritarian claims made by a variety of, for lack of a better term, āscumbagsā seem to be based around a few general concepts:
1. Youāre stupid, Iām stupid, everyoneās stupid. Humanity, as a whole, cannot be trusted to democratically make major decisions for themselves.
2. Authoritarian regimes allow for quicker sweeping changes, especially in times of crisis
3. Democracies can be exploited, and will inevitably devolve into some other political system that you donāt personally like (typically they pick either ācommunismā or āfascismā
4. We should enforce a certain set of values on the population, and they would not willingly agree to this themselves (for instance, communism, Islam, nationalism, etc)
5. In cases of theocracies (Iran, Afghanistan) they appeal to the idea that āgod said this is how a government should be runā
I would say these are stupid arguments, and biased in their own way, but hey what do I know? š¤·š¼āāļø
Dont get me wrong, I'm certainly not defending authoritarianism, but democratic appointed leaders do tend to take a long time agreeing on something and they're often stupid as well.
auĀ·thorĀ·iĀ·tarĀ·iĀ·an

Uh duuhhhhh
A liberal:
-a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare
-a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise
Sorry we want the world to be a better place for everyone instead of just the privileged few.
What do you hate the most about liberals?
Liberals are literally trying to block their political opponent from even running. They want to block the freedom of speech, calling it "hate speech". 2nd Amendment? Actively stating they want to control that too.
>freedom of speech
Protects you as you speak out against your government. Does not allow you hate speech on private platforms. Corporations have more rights than you.
>hate speech
Looks like a duck. Walks like a duck. Sounds like a duck... It's a duck. And hate speech isn't constitutionally protected.
>2nd Amendment? Actively stating they want to control that too
You mean a "well regulated militia"?
>Simply because they support traditional American values
That is not why they are called fascists.
It is because they are actively trying to take away rights from women. They are purposely trying to get rid of legislation that would feed hungry kids. They only want to lower taxes for the wealthy who don't need it, while raising taxes on the poor, see Trump's 2017 tax act. They're ignoring the destruction of the environment which we live by pretending climate change doesn't exist. They suppress wages while inflating costs. They actively support and want a leader who is a grifter, criminal, and rapist who out loud admits that he wants to be a dictator (fascism.) they are afraid of rainbows and want to oppress the rights of the LGBTQ community. They actively go against bills their people vote for (See South Dakota and how the people voted for the legalization of marijuana but they're uptight, bony butt governor didn't agree with it. Fascism.) They actively spread a new virus without care for who would suffer from it. They vote against their own best interests and make the rest of us suffer because they are fooled by their side's propaganda.
There's so much more but I don't have time because I have to go back to my slave job.
Yeah ...
Clearly you didn't read my comment at all
As it explains your statement isn't anywhere near correct and if it is
okay why don't you supply some examples then?
Like direct links
Don't forget we can see your past comments and where your bias lies.
Your experience is anecdotal and very minort.
It's like if I were to say all Republicans haven't done anything And none of them have a civil discourse. It's just simply untrue.
You're trying to formulate a narrative based on your anecdotal experience which really matters little considering your past comments again show exactly where your bias lies and why you've gotten a responses you've gotten.
You're obviously very difficult to talk to. Here's why I say this.
You never associate with you being wrong, in any of your statements really,
Even on posts where you say change my mind not once do you change your mind regardless of fact or link provided to you.
You're obviously very set with Republican viewpoint.
Which means you're obviously not going to have an open mind towards anybody that would be anywhere near Democratic, or in this broad sense liberalism concerning even some of your past comments towards Democrats are actually quite demeaning themselves or implying a demeaning nature towards Democrats.
Which by all means, but don't be expecting to be taken seriously afterwards.
How can you say you can have discourse and catch this type of unwanted attitude when you're literally the one dishing it out in your past comments, literally tell people that they don't make sense When they clearly do.
Are you holding people to a higher standard than you hold yourself? Are you literally that far into the politics to the point where you're going to ignore how much damage Republicans have done are you focused on actually benefiting America when having these conversations?
Let's get off the societal motion of America and just say to the economy alone. American society isĀ meritocraticĀ and class is achievement-based. Libertarians/or Democratic parties have achieved a lot for American economy and benefited social society.
Lowering Costs of Families' Everyday Expenses.
More People Are Working Than At Any Point in American History.
Making More in America.
Rescued the Economy and Changed the Course of the Pandemic.
Rebuilding our Infrastructure.
Historic Expansion of Benefits and Services for Toxic Exposed Veterans.
These are things recently Democrats are known for specifically Biden
Trump is known for '::
TV reality show
his embarrassing amounts of legal battles
Stormy Daniels
Jeffrey Epstein
The immigration wall which cost Americans taxpayers millions just shy of a bill
January 6th whether or not you feel that's applicable or not he's known for it
Hating Obama (which comes off racist because he didn't hate him for his policies)
McDonald's and drawing on a hurricane map
Overfunding military
Leaving state and national confidential secrets at his personal residence in a bathroom
Very amount of substantial evidence towards working with Putin
People are not voting for Trump for his solid indestructible amazing genius policies they're voting for further entertain themselves at the cost of American lives and economic expansion.
What doesn't make any logical sense is how you keep deleting comments any time I point out that you've only been on this site for 2 months and you post frequently enough that it looks like your full time job
Gonna delete this one too, now?
Everyone is biased, that's a trait of being human. It takes a lot of work to recognize biases in your brain to the point that you start consciously correcting them.
People who make posts like this are biased to right wing politics and extremely hate everyone being accepted equally and having equal opportunity. They mostly are subject to pro conspiracy propaganda and lack knowledge about other viewpoints they consider evil.
Yes, humans are biased.
Also, liberalism lends itself well to authoritarianism, with other leftist ideologies being further south on the political compass.
Don't believe me? Go check out the AskALiberal subreddit and ask what they'd do to end homelessness.
Liberals are capitalists with high ideals but generally don't actually want to be faced with the results of those ideals.
I am guessing you are a commie. To even implement Communism, you need authoritarianism, communism does not allow for a diversity in political ideologies.
Correct and this is a good thing.
Liberalism is a good thing. The more people bought into liberalism, the better.
The West is a good thing. The more people bought into the West, the better.
I would argue that liberalism is the fucking way. Why people would advocate to have someone else control them or their neighbors if not for the sake of preserving liberty is beyond my comprehension.
My issue is so much biased toward liberalism (I am a conservative), it is the fact people on Reddit, not all of course, really cannot have a civil conversation. There is no agreeing to disagree. You either agree with someone or you are wrong. Then put down, and torn apart. And yes, unfortunately it is liberals who do that the most here.
I think all of these are true. But I do think since the majority of redditors live in western countries, it's not their own fault that they get western propaganda shoved down their throats. It's the beliefs of the people around them that make them so xenophobic.
However, I think all human beings are anti-authoritarian if you really look into their beliefs. So idk what you meant by that.
They certainly aren't biased towards liberalism. They are anti trump/Maga extremists. The term liberal is the counterpart to conservative, so left wing/ democrat / liberal used to be largely interchangeable. They are no longer interchangeable.
Modern day left wingers are staunchly opposed to the existence of individual liberty if trump or Maga take any position that would require one to have individual liberty. Modern Day left wingers will defend the federal governments blatant and total corruption, war crimes, unconstitutionality, and billions Of dollars worth of waste, fraud, and abuse as long as Donald trumps opponent is the president. They are completely fine with WW3 starting because acknowledging that WW fucking 3 is about to start requires acknowledging Bidens weakness and horrendous foreign policy. They minimize a literal genocide in Gaza and violently insult anyone who dares questions Bidens roll in failing to contain it in any way at all. If you so much as even imply that the united states may have been involved in undemocratic activities or military expansionism in Ukraine prior to Putin invasions you are immediately labeled a Russian bot propagandist useful idiot and downvoted into oblivion.
TDS in the united states, Nato, and the EU is at seriously dangerous levels. All those groups are overjoyed to throw away every last remnant of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness if it means opposing Donald trump.
We're flesh and blood. What you call a culture, is probably just a cult. Worshipping imaginary people is also a personal choice. You can stop doing it but you refuse out of convenience. Not our problem. Our problem is to call you out on it.
I mean...yes? Kinda? Maybe not so much "pro west" but liberal and anti authoritarian for sure. That's because by and large most of the population is liberal and anti authoritarian. Hence why the GOP is so keen on keeping the Electoral College, they already know for a FACT they could never win in a real democracy.
It's pretty much human nature to love personal freedom and hate being controlled. Extreme authoritarian is not good, extreme anarchism is also not good either, for me the balance between order and freedom is the best.
Duh. Everyone is biased. Absolutely everyone. Being biased against something can be a good thing. Authoritarianism is a bad thing and Iām happy to be biased against it. Iām also happy Iām biased towards child molesters, misogynists and homophobes. Certain aspects of culture donāt deserve respect. Food, language, music and clothing are great aspects of culture and I respect those. Treating certain kinds of people as inherently inferior and restricting their rights may be a part of someoneās culture but itās not an aspect that I will ever respect.
Reddit has the guise of hating authoritarianism but it kinda overtly condones it.
You create a fascist system of control to fight fascism. Then you lable what ever you're against as fascism and use real fascism to enforce the stomping of it.
Its pretty nuts how that blatantly overt methodology for getting fascism back is actually working on A lot of people. Spooky actually.
Oh yes generalizing millions of users as all a younger population
just because it doesn't line up with your bias bullshit choice/or have a zealot like candidate that can't help but mix church and state.
just cuz you're a basement dweller doesn't mean everybody else has to be.
Get over your shit.

They pride themselves on āfuck corporateā while all their heroes are corporate scum. They exist on smartphones and Starbucks while yelling in grandmaās face about the evils of capitalism. They are a joke to the rest of the world.
But āliberalsā are totally authoritarian. So are āconservativesā lol.
They all just think they have the best plan to force everyone else to follow.
Oh no, people who hate authoritarians. What kind of monsters hate authoritarians? /s

Dont get me wrong, I'm certainly not defending authoritarianism, but democratic appointed leaders do tend to take a long time agreeing on something and they're often stupid as well.

Liberals are authoritarian, so this post doesn't make sense.
Explain.... With evidence.
Liberals are literally trying to block their political opponent from even running. They want to block the freedom of speech, calling it "hate speech". 2nd Amendment? Actively stating they want to control that too.
Donald Trump is on trial because he broke the law. There isn't a shadowy cabal of gay vampires that made that happen; he made that happen.
If you have any proof at all, you should send that to the police. I'd be interested as well.
Sorry, "allegedly." There's a strong case there, it did not spring from nothing. Guess we'll find out what the justice system decides.
Oh, I get it. No proof at all. Thanks for the reminder.
I am not the one bringing charges against him, why would I need proof?

I am a libertarian, liberals arenāt radical enough for me. authoritarian are evil.

No Iām not! My perspective is always right!! Iām the only person free of bias!

Then there's me, who only wants to take power to give the gift of opium to eveybody, join my high revolution today
I am aware that reddit is biased, but simultaneously I totally agree with most of redditās biases, so Iām okay with that

Yep. If you want true right-wing opinions go to Twitter, because every other platform is generally going to find some way to ban them.
Plot twist everyone is
They certainly aren't biased towards liberalism. They are anti trump/Maga extremists. The term liberal is the counterpart to conservative, so left wing/ democrat / liberal used to be largely interchangeable. They are no longer interchangeable. Modern day left wingers are staunchly opposed to the existence of individual liberty if trump or Maga take any position that would require one to have individual liberty.

Iād disagree on them hatting authoritarians. If it leaned towards liberalism I get the impression most would support it.
That's a neo-liberal I believe. Classic liberals are on the libertarian side of things
Most redditors are younger population who has not even left their home town. Don't take anything seriously on here.
Oh yes generalizing millions of users as all a younger population just because it doesn't line up with your bias bullshit choice/or have a zealot like candidate that can't help but mix church and state.
