Lmao venturing out into the other instances results in instant contact with brainworms. Thank god there's some sane people out there combating lib nonsense.

What leads people to believe that being an ancap isn't right wing? It's utterly delusional and a complete misunderstanding of the most basic political ideas. There's so much of this shit in that thread, idk why I even looked, it's just pure reddit-isms the whole way down.

    For many reddit-brained epic politics understanders right wing only refers to culturally conservative people, so if they were nominally for gay rights, had a "black friend" and smoked weed they felt the most radical left wingers ever. Don't ask about the underlying systems of oppression criminalising drugs or upholding racism and homophobia, though. Only surface level vibes for these people.

      Oh yeah, I saw the dumbest fucking take (that thankfully got nuked) in r/LSC where some politics understander waltzed into the thread declaring that American politics have shifted left. His reasoning is this:

      -Obama in 2008 said a marriage is between a man and a woman

      -Trump in 2016 said he recognizes gay marriage

      Therefore America as a whole was sliding left. American education system working as intended.

      It sounds like a meme at this point, but it really does seem like it's true.
