| I agree for the most part, but I wouldn't exactly say they're mirror images of each other. While liberals can make mountains out of mole hills when it comes to what is and isn't racist, conservatives can be super stubborn about it and refuse to acknowledge anything short of a burning cross on a fron... |

| As far as being "white" goes, I understand the need to call out self-hatred but when it comes to more superficial things like their mannerisms, the way they talk, dress, etc. that's when the shaming gets absurd. |

| I've been on a similar road with the OP. Although I started out with liberalish beliefs before I even knew what a liberal or conservative was, I became a libertarian after becoming more politically aware . I was never extreme enough to want to get rid of a safety net altogether, but I still saw it a... |

| I'm not a progressive or a liberal but I fully embrace identity politics as a far left winger. I can't stand either respectability politics or dog whistle politics so representation is top priority for me. |

| Well, I can't magically make you care through the power of persuasion or shaming. But the fact that you live on the grid means you benefit from having standards for working water and electricity, which were provided to you by others. To benefit from things that are provided to you by others while di... |

| I am a former right wing libertarian (had left wing sentiments before that but that's before I got into politics) turned far left winger. The alt right has a lot to do with it but I also find centrists from both sides alienating. I became disillusioned with the right as a whole and also got frustrat... |

| I don't know a thing about the Torah but AFAIK the Old Testament explicitly condemn gays to death and the Quran highly condemns homosexuality but it is the hadiths that explicitly condemns them to death. It seems that they would fall under hate speech if those books were to be written today or if th... |

| The obsession with SJW's is strange considering that the alt-right is far worse. That is debatable. Especially when it comes to basic freedoms. The Atl-right's rise has quite a lot to do with SJWs inability to engage in a rational debate. You get the opposition you hope for. SWJs saw those that que... |

For anyone that's confused, I messed up my edit and JLD is responding to me saying that white supremacist sentiments are unacceptable. |

| No, you're fine. Good to know, just wanted to make sure. Do you think conservatives, at least most of them, purposely do that though? It just seems off to me. Maybe they actually think that minorities fighting against each other is what's causing racism, but purposely pitting us against each other?... |

I don't mean to bash whites, liberals, and conservatives in general but I wanted to point out how th... |

Both left and right wingers make me smh at the way they pick on one religion and give a free pass to the other. It... |
