"Socially liberal" means they're allegedly pro weed, lgbt, and choice as long as it doesn't affect them personally. (ie they have to pay anything)
Well no... Unbanning something like weed or abortion is more than free its cost saving because you don't have to pay for enforcement. But that's about where most libertarian support ends. Once you get into mandating insurance covers abortion or medical marijuana they bail.
Most libertarians just don't understand all that and hit the magic free-market button and would say something like "deregulation of abortion practices would lower costs" and not really think what that would ential in practice. Others would, particularly those who ate from the friedman/rand dumpster would say those people dont deserve abortions. Those are for sure crypto fascists. But the others are just politically ignorant.
My point is, as much as we observe the left infighting, the right is far more divided than the left. You've got neocons, dominionists, nazis, libertarians, an-caps, anti-vaxxers, etc. Understanding what divides them is going to be essential for our survival. Libertarians are the easiest to pick off because their base instinct is of less government interferement is benign. We just need to redefine what is interferement vs a service.
Marxists Leninists and their separation of economy and social issues smh
Idiots have been going "I'm fiscally conservative but socially liberal" since south park first aired lol
“I’m fiscally conservative but socially liberal”
- late high school/early college goldsound

Don't worry man, me too, but we grow and evolve
"I'm male"
- early-mid high school LesbianLiberty

Congrats on being able to find who you really are, comrade!
There's one thing I believed back then, and still do, that got me here: if you can't look at yourself a year ago and think that you were wrong in some way, then you haven't improved. Nobody can know or understand everything perfectly, and I don't ever want to reach a point where I think I do. Guess I'm just a big proponent of self-crit.
This guy takes it one step further lol this is like "I am fiscally conservative but socially liberal except I am not socially liberal either".
The kid is 16 according to their other comments in the thread and have since changed their flair to "auth-right" lmao.
ReAd A BoOk says the kids who's only ever read Animal Farm for class and the first 3 chapters of the Fountainhead.
I need to be reminded of this way more often instead of getting insanely angry. In fact, I need to start treating and believing that every person I interact with on the internet is 13 years old and doesn't know shit.
Tbf this person is probably as politically coherent as your average adult voter who thinks Biden is a left-wing socialist..
politically left means that everything stays the same but you legalize weed
woahhh dude relax, that's wayyyyy too radical for them
Depends on how you experience your gayness. Plenty of room for Buttigeg and others that "seem normal when you first meet them"
they only like gay people if they don't know if they're gay
All those people complained about gays coming out decades before but now that they're already out they don't care any more.
Ah yes, the economically right wing authoritarian leftist that is only left "politically" but also hates "SJW's." When words mean things
Politically left
Is a neoliberal
Hates the idea of social justice
Still totally a leftist bro
Bruh.
Is this just your average labour MP.
At least r/neoliberal can usually admit that they're not leftists, these people are so clueless idek
Exhibit #174920372926 of Americans/Anglos just being the dumbest absolute back of the bus stupidest people on the planet.
