The Liberal Section (USA EDITION)

[Tiberius]

Why not just put two mutually exclusive groups, i.e. "Liberals" and "Non-liberals". Seems the easiest thing to do.

That sounds fair enough. Done

YESSSS!!!!! Another TYT fan!!! I religiously watch TYT every day!

I'm liberal in the sense that I recognize freedom to do anything that is possible. There will, however, likely be consequences.

Conservatism isn't a bad word by the way... it's when one conserves while they could easily be getting ahead in many ways that it starts to be bad. (imo).

Do you always ramble on like this on EVERY thread?

No. I ramble every third post. Some threads I don't post in, some threads i post twice in without triggering my third post-ramble, and some threads i grudgingly wear because i guess people are scarred of tits.

Did a two liner seriously count as rambling for you? 0.o

Typical liberal eh? Don't listen to a word I say and just lump me together with all the other "Conservatives". I am not a Conservative, not in the British sense, not in the American sense. I wouldn't lump all liberals together with the communists and socialists, so please do me the decency of putting me in a group that actually represents my political beliefs, or don't put me in a group at all.

Your a Libertarian Liberal, or as XKCD called it Internet Libertarians

I was thinking the same thing :Urban Dictionary:

1.A smart ass on the internet that claims the economy can work itself out on its own, as long as there is no government regulation. This belief is usually based on the ECON 101 class they took a few years back. On closer inspection, most of the internet libertarian's facts don't check out.

2.internet libertarians are usually two or more of the following: white, nerdy, male, suburban, (hostilely) atheistic, and well-off. they usually have close-knit, supportive families as well. a true internet libertarian has never lived for long periods of time in anywhere but an affluent suburb. they are naive, sheltered fucks to a tee. they also tend to be less smug and vocal about their politics IRL - they fear (more) social rejection.
internet libertarians are mostly Randites and Ron Paul Revolution groupies. you will find them preaching their Pollyanna-like views of wanton deregulation/decentralization/isolationism in any sufficiently nerdy online venue - think Slashdot, Reddit, or an imageboard with a political discussion section.
they tend to be excessively fond of dense, idiosyncratic video games like TF2 and Minecraft

I think the only categories I hit there are white, nerdy, and male. That's pretty much the same as half the people on this site...

So no, I don't think I'm an Internet liberatarian at all. I came across libertarianism at university, whilst talking politics with my main group of friends. I don't have any problems discussing it with people IRL, in fact I enjoy pointing out all the holes in their political beliefs.

Aww c'mon! He hit home with a few more of those...

white : tick
nerdy : tick
male : tick
suburban : tick
(hostilely) atheistic : erm... tick
well-off : tick
usually have close-knit, supportive families as well : tick
has never lived for long periods of time in anywhere but an affluent suburb : tick
they are naive, sheltered fucks to a tee : tick

I'll let you off with the rest

It was only for a laugh, friend. Don't take the Urban Dictionary seriously... And I will let you know that libertarianism is chock full of loop holes.

You know Im just pulling your leg when I do these one liners against your two liners right?

And you know that I don't take anything seriously that doesn't have something painful near me that is going to hit me unless i take it seriously, right? ^_^

Btw, banhammers are mean. But I use them in Halo. I think i feel suddenly invincible whenever i pick up an energy sword, banhammer, or shotgun. That would certainly explain how i go from being moderately cautious into a tunnel-visioned blood frenzy.

Just... keep me away from the close range weapons. I won't either tunnel vision or bloodlust then
