Sounds like classical liberalism..... Which it is. That's how far the overton window has turned, that what once were liberals are now considered far-right nationalists. If far-right nationalism is equal rights, then by all means. Hate me. Revile me. Call me every name in the book. It doesn't phase me one bit. I will stand by them, because that's what principles are about. Everybody should be responsible for their own decisions and should be left to their own devices, so long as they do not affect other people.
If words affect you, I'm sorry but it goes both ways. Only difference is, I don't want to censor you. I don't have all the answers and feel just like anybody else, and my stance is grounded in pendanticism, not in value. I'd love to just hold hands and sing songs over marshmallows and ensure every man and woman has everything they could ever need or want, as I'm sure many if not most on this site would agree to. But the world doesn't work that way. Not yet. And until we get to that point where we can sustain ourselves indefinitely, it will only faII into disarray.....
California, as rich as silicon valley is, as progressive as its politicians are, aren't even able to provide even a decent fraction of homeless needs. It alone accounts for about a quarter of the nation's homelessness. That is what we're trying to avoid, and as bleak a future having to work a job you might not like may sound to you, suck it up, buttercup. And read about how over-regulation and the types of policies big cities are known for tends to affect small businesses disproportionately to big businesses before you pit the blame on capitalism and capitalism alone. Then tell me how propping even more progressive policies is gonna help what borked the system in the first place.
Sorry about the rant, but I figure the few troIIs who might see it could use some help in understanding what us conservatives are truly about.....
this needs far more upvotes. this is why i'm here. i'm a classical liberal, and we're a dying breed. the core of the constitution and the enlightenment values it seeks to uphold speaks to us. its strange but classical liberals must unite with conservatives to defeat woke bullshit.
thing is, classical ANYTHING is a "high information" concept, due to the existence of positive & negative rights, as well as having to understand the heavily philosophical and experimental nature of our government.
todays "low-information" idiot voters and dems cannot possibly get this shit.

I’ve always held that classical liberals and American conservatives are the same thing. Shows how much the word liberal has been abused.
This is why I refer to the freaks as LEFTISTS.
