I mean honestly, you all are fanatically liberal. Stop and think for a second without attacking… I’ll die for every right you deserve. Doesn’t that mean anything or do we eventually need to go to war to prove it?
Because we have this little thing called E M P A T H Y
Stop and think for a second without attacking… I’ll die for every right you deserve.
What rights do we ‘deserve’?
Look at the bill of rights.
Ah, so you’ll preserve our right to be free from Christians trying to worm religion into every facet of American life, right?
Which means you won’t vote for Republicans, right?
I’m not a fan of letting a bunch of long dead rich white guys decide what rights people deserve
Because we’re not just thinking about ourselves, but consider all human beings as being just that. A human being. We’re all on the same planet, but then you have corporations who’s just thinking about themselves and a fucking number going up, not thinking about fucking the entire planet for a little profit… Hence: liberal.
Maybe we have exactly the right amount of liberal.
I think Jesus had a little bit of liberal,. That’s what I loved about him.
I’m pretty sure was as liberal as they come. You don’t hear conservatives saying give away all your belongings or help your fellow man.
Sorry, just to make sure we’re on the same page, could you please define liberal? It does stand for different things in different countries.
The meaning of the word changes a lot, and depending on the country or people you talk to it may mean something else.
To me it seems that liberals now seem like moderates or center left, closer to what politicians in office are like on the democrat side.
In the end, I think we have more in common than what we differ on, aside from the extremes of both sides.
Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism which advocates free market and laissez-faire economics; and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech.
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law. Liberals espouse various views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights, liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion, constitutional government and privacy rights. Liberalism is frequently cited as the dominant ideology of modern history. Liberalism became a distinct movement in the Age of Enlightenment, gaining popularity among Western philosophers and economists. Liberalism sought to replace the norms of hereditary privilege, state religion, absolute monarchy, the divine right of kings and traditional conservatism with representative democracy, rule of law, and equality under the law.

Every single response here has been more than appropriate. You are all my brothers, and I respect you all. Let’s all work towards a common goal or respecting each other’s point of view.
Respecting each other’s point of view is democracy. Which modern convseratives want to destroy.
That’s why you find so many ‘liberals’ here.
14 years of catholic school has made me more empathetic than most. I’ve been told to turn the other cheek and I’ve been smacked so many times to the point where I ask myself when it is okay to respond appropriately.
This is borderline iamverybadass… do we have that on lemmy?
That sounds like PTSD.
14 years of catholic school
So you repeated two grades?
Pre-K and kindergarten probably.
They hated Jesus™ for saying the truth. Which is irrelevant here, because you are neither Jesus™ nor saying the truth.
