Dyinglegacy posted...CyricZ posted...I will not deny that this is a circle jerk. Doesn't make it any less fun. So conservatives are the minority. Liberals are typically for the minority, but I suppose it's not just about numbers, but about oppression. Liberals are for oppressed minorities. I wonder if conservatives were to ever eventually fall under oppressed minority, would they be the exception and hated on despite that. Further into that, I wonder if it has to do with harmfulness. Like, do libs hate on them because they feel that they are harmful and should be shunned? If so, then I ponder the question of their quick defense to Muslims. Some Muslim beliefs are harmful to other minorities, such as gay people, but yet they still get defended in many situations. I have suspicions as to why it seems to be this way, but I'm not certain. If you just lay it down like that, it looks hypocritical, but... there are many working parts to the questions and the reasons behind the behavior. --- Voted worst user on CE 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.

Some Muslim beliefs are harmful to other minorities, such as gay people, but yet they still get defended in many situations. Not all Muslims choose to act that way, just like not all Christians harass people going to abortion clinics. There's not a liberal person here who will defend someone acting on religious purity law obliging them to discriminate against gay people because a core liberal belief is that everyone can choose not to act like an asshole. Our ire is reserved for those that see that option and then choose to be an asshole anyway and who simply refuse to be convinced of anything different. They deserve our judgement. Those of us who are Christian or Jewish have been picking and choosing sections of the good book that we think are useful and cutting the stuff we think are bad for society our whole lives. Constantine literally did it when we made Christianity the official religion of Ancient Rome. So this, 'but Muslims,' critique will always ring hollow because vast majority of Muslims exercise the same ethical judgement we do and choose to do things that contribute to society instead of destroy it. And as for why liberalism is so quick to defend them, it's because they're frequently targeted for societal pariah and treated by conservative ideology as a scapegoat for ridicule and saber-rattling. --- Ignorance is a choice https://imgtc.com/i/7UnK3hx.jpg ...

DarkRoast posted...Conservative: Whatever your problem is, deal with it until it's also my problem. They both have entirely different ways of not actually fixing problems, but liberals have the added bonus of virtue signaling. Baizuo (/batsw/;[1] Chinese: bizu, literally "white left"[2]) is a derogatory Chinese neologismused to refer to Western liberal elites.[3][4][5] In more than 400 answers submitted by Zhihu users during 2015 to May 2017, the term is defined as referring to those who are hypocritically obsessed with political correctness in order to satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority motivated from an ignorant and arrogant Western-centric worldview who pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours. A related term is shngm (, , literally "holy mother", title for the mother of an emperor), a sarcastic reference to those whose political opinions are guided by emotions and a hypocritical show of selflessness and empathy, represented by celebrities.[6] --- Well allons-y, Alonso! ...

I'm definitely more left leaning but i would consider my self a centralist.
but liberals dont actually care about problems. Its all 30 sec outrage so they can seem morally superior then they forget about it and go on to the next hot topic. Especially if it affects minorities. That's why you dont see Flint as a problem anymore. That's why where the majority of people are conservative or religious you find run down abandoned homes, high poverty rates, high teen pregnancy rates, low test scores. I learned a long time ago that they only really take notice when it affects them.
