If you are a Liberal and cannot handle being told you're wrong,
|
||||
please <A href="http://www.nyan.cat/">click here</A>.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Also, I should say <B>I am 17 years old</B>.
|
||||
The worst flames I've seen on-line have been towards Leftists, from Liberals.
|
||||
Like, come on guys, give me a break.
|
||||
No I'm not ever voting Democrat, but I'm also never voting Republican.
|
||||
Yes, I know my opinions may change, but I am voicing my thoughts here.
|
||||
This is in a <A href="/rants/">rants/</A> folder for a reason.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
The United States of America - the country in which I unfortunately reside - has a Liberal political party known as the Democratic party.
|
||||
Most people choose to vote for Democratic or Republican (the Republican party is a Conservative party) candidates here.
|
||||
Many of my acquaintances, most of my family (though I no longer associate with most of my family), and some of my friends are Liberal Democrats.
|
||||
Liberalism is considered by many to be a politically left-wing ideology, and <I>the alternative</I> to Conservatism, as if the two ideologies are the only two that exist.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
<B>I am not a Liberal.</B> I despise Liberalism.
|
||||
I consider myself to be a Leftist and more specifically a Communist but I'm not entirely sure where My Preferred System would end up.
|
||||
Fortunately that isn't my job, I just get to complain about those for whom it is.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
So what is Liberalism?
|
||||
The <A href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism">Wikipedia page for Liberalism</A>,
|
||||
which I will take at its word because in my experience most Wikipedia editors are themselves Liberal,
|
||||
says the following:
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P><CODE>
|
||||
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law.[1][2][3]
|
||||
Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles,
|
||||
but they generally support free markets, free trade, limited government,
|
||||
individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), capitalism, democracy,
|
||||
secularism, gender equality, racial equality, internationalism, freedom of speech,
|
||||
freedom of the press and freedom of religion.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
|
||||
</CODE></P>
|
||||
<P>That passage has a lot of citations so it's probably factually correct.</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
That set of beliefs is very interesting.
|
||||
Liberals - and my experience agrees - support Capitalism in its implementations,
|
||||
yet they also support racial and gender equality
|
||||
(and I end the list of equalities they support there;
|
||||
I've met too many Liberals who <I>do not</I> support equal rights for homosexuals or gender nonconformists and trans-genders).
|
||||
In my view it is impossible to achieve equality between the races or sexes within a Capitalist system.
|
||||
Capitalism is itself a system of inequality, where Capitalists exploit the working class.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
What victories have Liberals secured for minorities that haven't been tainted or forgone entirely by Capitalists?
|
||||
The thirteenth amendment to the American Constitution banned slavery <B>except as punishment for a crime</B>.
|
||||
We've now introduced "prisons", some built where slave plantations used to be,
|
||||
that can provide contract workers to big businesses for pennies an hour, themselves run by companies that are
|
||||
<A href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CXW">on the stock market</A>.
|
||||
We liberated women only to give them unfulfilling lives dependent on wages and to pay them less than their male counterparts for the same jobs.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Furthermore, many American Liberals, despite theoretically being for a smaller government,
|
||||
support gun control, which not only disproportionately affects minorities* but is also deceitfully stupid.
|
||||
Freedom must be defended by those it protects.
|
||||
If we prohibit certain people (<B>who have not committed any crimes</B>) from owning certain firearms eventually that will come full circle.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
I believe most Liberals are uneducated and would be Leftists if they understood Liberalism.
|
||||
I also believe most "Leftists" as labelled by the media are Liberals - because why would you draw attention to those who oppose you?
|
||||
And those who are educated but still Liberals either benefit from the system or were educated in the wrong things.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
I don't know how to end this because it's just a rant.
|
||||
Don't take me too seriously, those that do never fare well.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>

* A source I found for this is
|
||||
<A href="http://gypsyedc.com/blog/how-gun-control-disproportionately-affects-minorities-/">here</A>
|
||||
but it's most definitely biased in favor of gun ownership. A better source is
|
||||
<A href="https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/456243-actually-gun-restrictions-will-target-the-black-community">here</A>
|
||||
and it's much better but I figured I should put a little disclaimer here because many of my sources are probably similarly biased.
