I love how things like this highlight the tolerant, open minded left for what it really is.

Right. This is one thing I truly can't stand. You see this a lot with the modern "feminist" movement. Earlier this week a few articles were written by some "journalists" saying that the singer Lana del Rey is destroying women's rights. This was because del Rey, a woman, had said in an interview that she is completely uninterested in the feminist movement (gasp) and sincerely enjoys being in romantic relationships with men (gasp) and sings about it in her music, which obviously doesn't fit into the feminist model for how a real woman should act, so they tried to tear her down.

I'm all for women's rights, but when you get to the point that you stop just supporting something, and start tearing down everyone who doesn't fit into how you think things ought to be, then you've gone too far, end up hurting your cause, and have become the type of close-minded person you originally fought against.

I know this is pointless, but the reason there was back lash was because Lana Del Rey said she wasn't interested in feminism because she liked those things, and people were mad because she was clearly saying that feminism means "man hater" which it doesn't.

right. just like all their causes. from gay rights to feminesim to legalization to ending iraq. all of which i support as a libertarian. but when you have a parade where half the people are dressed up in guy fawks mask and bullhorns being dicks to people in a clown outfit....how the fuck do you expect the grown ups who work for a living to take you seriously. assholes.

you seem to be mistaken about what, exactly, they "tolerate".

if Holly was a KKK member ranting about black people, would you expect the left to be "open-minded" and "tolerant" of her viewpoints?

the left is very tolerant of things that are not counter to their viewpoint of "inclusiveness" - but any opinions that espouse exclusivity or divisiveness are immediately shunned like an ex-Mormon stripper at family reunion. this is because these ideas - exclusivity and divisiveness - are the complete opposite of what they are trying to accomplish.

at least, that's my take on it.

They're so open-minded, it falls out and they lose it.

Probably the best diss ever.

this should be on the sidebar.

No, the original quotation should be.

“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”

How to make a liberal's head explode in under 30 seconds... love it!

[–]trollriffic 0 ポイント1 ポイント

how to you make a liberal outraged and furious?

disagree with them

[–]Hatguy115 5 ポイント6 ポイント

So we need to start reproducing this picture. Put on your best conservative shirt and find a Hobby Lobby. See if they can threaten all of us.

[–]DranoshSoCon, FinCon, antistatist, anti"equality" 1 ポイント2 ポイント

But then all the liberals will be like "SEE SEE LOOK AT ALL THE MISOGYNIST MEN"

[–]Hatguy115 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Well they can shove it.

It is just the vocal hatefull minority of the left, just like there is a vocal hatefull minority on the right.

Using it as an example of how all liberals are is misleading and stinks of propaganda.

If you are going to poke a stick at a random group of people the one's that react are going to be the assholes who want to 'defend' the group. Most will just ignore it, but those aren't noticed by the one who poked.

[–]capacity04 4 ポイント5 ポイント

Every time the two sides butt heads, liberals are always the first to sling the "hateful" label out, and often they are the only ones. It's like their go-to attack, no matter the issue.

I can't even think of the last time a conservative group attempted to combat the left by saying they were hateful. Probably because it's a cheap shot cop-out ad hominem.

the problem is that conservative social opinions are not considered progressive, and are generally regarded as exclusive, as opposed to inclusive.

liberals tend to make more of an effort to include typically-marginalized people, whereas conservatives - again, generally - are not interested in progressing the social or political stances of those who are marginalized. cons typically put more faith in "DIY" social progression, which is all well and good for those who already have some kind of foothold on society, but is almost insurmountable for those without said foothold.

social conservative viewpoints are usually seen as divisive and "traditional" - whereas social liberal viewpoints are considered inclusive and "progressive".

this may lead to a question - "if they're so inclusive, why aren't they including 'us' ?"

the simple answer is that social conservatives simply don't share the same overarching desire to advance the acceptance of marginalized people - of which conservatives typically are not.

Not true. The only exception is sexually deviant people, such as homosexuals. Pedophiles are also a marginalized people, but even liberals won't go there. Yet. So not every marginalized people necessarily needs empowerment.

Traditional =! Divisive

I know Holly IRL. She is a nice girl, and while it does not excuse the outright hateful things she has ha hurled at her, make no mistake- she was tossing out troll bait for attention, and she struck one big finally.

Also she's a twitter troll- not Facebook. This one just got big enough to jump platforms.

She looks like she's enjoying her 15 minutes of internet fame.

I've always found it ironic and slightly frustrating that liberal minded people throw out the "hateful" label with reckless abandon. Meanwhile some of the vitriol spewed out against conservatives is at least on par as the worst the right has to offer, and is made only worse by being unrestrained by any personal moral standard. Many conservatives I know hold back on what they say due to their religion, but those on the left are not shackled by any such restraints. If you disagree with it, say hurtful things to it, seems to be their attack plan.

I suppose the people on the left who throw the "hateful" label out so easily do so because they are well acquainted with that particular emotion.

That reminds me of when abortion activists in San Francisco declared that the West Coast Walk for Life was using "hate speech" language on their banners because the banners said "Abortion hurts women". You can disagree with the idea that "abortion hurts women", but it is not in any sense a hateful thing to say, and it discredits your view to pretend it is.

[–]MiyegomboBayartsogt 15 ポイント16 ポイント

Not marching mindlessly in lockstep with the Left is a provocation. The politically correct among us are unabashedly intolerant. It is altogether too easy to get a howling hypocrite to yelp like a scalded dog.

[–]baldyloxLibertarian Conservative -1 ポイント0 ポイント

She did. I hate politics of FB. If you're the kind of person that posts 10 politically-oriented things on FB a day, you will be unfriended quickly.

There are a million other places on the internet to rant about politics. FB isn't one of them as far as I'm concerned - whether I agree with you or not.

The aftermath of liberals not getting what they want is sometimes hilarious.Other times,absolutely pathetic.

if some gay dudes wanna get married, its not the governemts business and republicans could really turn this country around for the better if they dropped the whole social wing of the party. i know the libs will continue with their usual perpetual outrage fake causes and looking for daddy (the governemt) to solve their problems.i largely agree with conservatives. however the antigay thing is fucked up. i will take the downvotes. its hate. flat out.

as a libertaian it is the only thing preventing me from voting for them, i usually just stay home.

When can this country split into two. Liberal NK paradise, and conservative SK. That will finally put an end to all this bs for good.

[–]trollriffic -1 ポイント0 ポイント

this is some of the many things that has turned me from being a pretty deep blue progressive during the bush regime (still hate him, will nevwr be convinced otherwise) to a full on libertarian. the left seem to be perpetually outraged all the time. so many pet causes and feel good issues that ultimatly boil down to "feeling good about them selves without actually doing anything" then, if someone dares question them.....the go fucking apeshit.

this hobby lobby thing is not really a big deal, hell they still offer 16 of the 20 BC devices. why is it that the left feels 49.9 percent of the country are ignorant bible thumping morons?
