But, as I said, I have some leftist views -- the reasonable ones that are logical to have.I don't know what you both are on about. I see both sides doing the same emotional appeals and things that won't work.

"The government will slaughter us all since they'll take away our guns!!!" generic conservative"They're a bunch of racists who want things to go back to the 50's" generic liberalTo say one side does it and the other doesn't, is really stupid. Just look at anything political and you'll see otherwise.Hope I got those examples right
(because they don't account for the fact that humans have differences and aren't perfect beings that are all equal to each other)

I fail to see how recognizing that we aren't perfect is a logical fallacy, if anything, it's logic.

It's bullshit disguised as fear disguised as bullshit.Very emotional and illogical. Like a conservative.
Now you're just putting words in my mouth so I will fit your definition of a conservative. I never said improvement is an impossibility, but we need more time, and that's something we're quickly running out of.

I never said improvement is an impossibility, but we need more time, and that's something we're quickly running out of.No, we don't need time, we need resources--and we need worthless conservative faggots to stop hindering progress by claiming that we can't make progress. That humans are just too shitty to do anything remotely humanitarian.When it's that specific mentality that's holding us back. Because you're emotional and illogical like that.
I am on the left when it comes to the conservation of the environment and better treatment of animals (Kosher is an incredibly cruel method of slaughtering animals). I also want to see the conservation of culture and heritage, and it is entirely reasonable to take pride in them in most cases.
Stop playing hot potato with shit like "illogic" and "emotion". The political platforms of modern "conservatives" and liberals are both absolute garbage. Broad generalizations about one or the other make you sound like fucking faggots if you don't attack both.Seriously, anybody who is fully or even mostly on board with the primary Republican or Democrat platforms is either brainwashed or schizophrenic.There are absolutely some answers to small societal ills offered on both sides, but both ignore most of the serious problems undermining our society and holding us back from general prosperity.And yes, I realize I sound like one of those "hurrrr both are wrong I'm independant lol" autists.

And I don't get why you seem to think the right hinders progress.

The goal of a conservative is to preserve the status quo. They hate progress. Change is scary to them. That's why they're called a conservative.

No more emphasis on any form of degeneracy, and a society that recognizes philosophers, scientists, etc. as role models, instead of the current celebraties, who often endorse the hedonism in society. I shouldn't have to say again who has caused this.

They're an enemy to the entire human race.

I don't like Israel's government at all really, but the entire religion and its people seems rather dumb and conspiracy theory tier at best.
Jews are the best kind of people. Everyone else can eat shit.
