I’m 49 years old. I’m not old, but I’ve raised 4 kids. I see patterns now. In college I was a liberal, then I was too busy to care, but now I’m conservative despite the fact that I haven’t changed too much. In college I liked Noam Chomsky, I listened to Rage Against the Machine.... I was a liberal.
But the funny thing is, if you reread Noam’s book on Media, how can you stand the modern media and big tech being the “ministry of truth”. That shit stinks. It’s dirty. Any old fashioned liberal like myself should be ashamed of themselves for supporting the censorship and manipulation of our modern media.
Next.... I still love Rage Against The Machine (even though they are commies). But the irony here is that the “system” they rail against is what drives the hatred of Trump. How can you not see that the FUCKING establishment hates Trump and loves Biden?!? Are these people fucking dense!!!!
Fuck yes! They are stupid shitholes! Fuck them! My fellow “liberals” are lost sheep!
I was, and remain, a Classical Liberal. So is DJT. What the Democrat Party has become is highly illiberal, fascistic, and kleptocratic.
Exactly my brother!
I too once was a liberal, a Bernie supporter even. I also haven't changed much. The left stopped being liberal. I'll bet 90% of TDW users identify, to some extent, as a "classical liberal," which is defined as:
Today's left aren't liberal, not in the least, they are fascist. Contrary to what idiotic libtards think, fascism is neither "liberal" nor "conservative," it's FASCIST. The left are fascists, there are no two ways about it. The commies they use as their "useful idiots," which are defined as:
I love rage too, excellent musicians...but absolute shit politics
I had a junk acoustic guitar that I'd drop D tune and every weekend Id pick a song from Battle of Los Angeles and learn the tabs. Super fun to play and super easy to learn.
Those are lefties. Stand tall as a defender of Liberty.
Fuck you I'll still do what you tell me.
I'm 56 and like Rage Against the Machine. Never was a liberal. Agree with your opinion of liberals. Correction: commies, pinko fags.
I haven’t been a leftist since I was 25, but even before then I opposed communism and was more sympathetic to libertarianism. I noticed qualified men getting turned down for jobs due to hiring quotas for not very qualified women.
At age 25 I finally got out of the crappy college town and started talking to people about economics and other stuff and found that the democrats had caused a lot of destruction by blindly playing politics without regard for real world consequences.
But these days it shouldn’t be so difficult to figure out that something is wrong. The “liberals” are not following modern liberalism (which is basically classical liberalism + New Deal welfare stuff) anymore. They’re authoritarian hybrids of economic globalist versions of fascists and social Marxists.
The alliance is between the economic elite who want unrestricted economic globalization, and an urban population of social marxists (critical race theory, etc) who want “socialism” in the form of state capitalism directed at social welfare policy. Both have no problem with authoritarianism used to achieve their goals; they are not liberal. They are authoritarian collectivists who think in terms of using force to achieve collectivist goals while disregarding individual rights.
We still have a bunch of people on the left who haven’t woken up to the degree and seriousness of authoritarian tactics in use and don’t know how much danger they’re in. We need to show the pre-2008 liberals out there that haven’t been paying attention that the left is no longer liberal and is now resorting to authoritarian tactics of all sorts.
Your analysis is on point with my thoughts
I feel bad for your kids' kids.. glad I don't have kids.. #ChinaBomb2022
If you're 49 then you are old. Stop fooling yourself. If you're young then what is a 20 year old?
Just think...you're middle aged if you live to be 98!
I also run a 5k in 19:30.... how about you?!?
If he's middle aged, then I'm dead.
