Yes. I am gonna parody the "You may be a Communist if..." thing which has been closed.

You may be a Liberal if...

1. You are against any kind of authority, especially when the nation faces a serious economic crisis that needs some desperate action to be taken in order to stabilize the economy.

2. You are progressive on social issues but do not relate to socialists or communists.

3. You proclaim yourself as a "leftist" despite your views not even matching with an actual leftist intellectual (the same goes for reactionaries who also call themselves "leftists" despite their ideologies literally coming from totalitarians such as Stalin, Pol Pot, and the Juche ideology).

4. You support "affirmative action" (positive discrimination such as reverse racism, reverse sexism, etc.).

5. You claim to be supportive of the class struggle but do not provide the material necessities for a revolution.

6. You spread a liberal agenda on social media under the disguise of "awareness" as a means of grabbing attention and solidifying your reactionary egotism, thereby making you a mere puppet of the rightoids.

7. You unconditionally support minority rights even if there are bad apples among the minority groups that need to be dealt with in order to prevent further social stigma against minorities who are suffering from the bad apples (examples include Hamas for Palestinians and Arabs in general and Israel for Jews).

8. You unconditionally believe that individual freedom is necessary, even if it may cause economic and social harm if given to the wrong hands (e.g. exploitation of labor and culture wars).

9. You feel the need to express certain private matters to the public, even if they may be distraught by the things you do in private.

10. You want to be "strong", "nonconforming", and "independent", when in fact, you are part of the new digital mainstream with millions of others who also want to be "nonconforming" despite the paradox that comes with the creation of a large mainstream that disguises itself as "nonconforming".

Bonus.

11. You think that because you feel like a minority that instead of affirming the minority you are part of, you instead try to gain clout by listing off the stereotype of the minority in front of millions of people for your own pleasure and not the common struggle.

Hmm, According to the Research
of Social Scientist Jonathan Haidt, Folks Who
Are Liberal Have One Major Common Personality

Trait and that
Is Openness to

New Experience;

True, Folks With This
Personality Trait are More
Likely to Understand Metaphor

As Open to New Experiences

Of Course is More Likely to

Entertain Differences in

Meaning As That Relates
To Whatever Forms Humans
Create for the Essence of Reality;

However, Humans Who View the World
Uniquely, Perceive the World Differently
Attempting to Mutually and Consensually

Express These Differences;

In Short, By Metaphor; Yes,
of Free Verse Poetry; Boats Need
Liberal Sails to Explore New Lands
of Resources And Get the Hell Out of the

Desert Where There is No Dam Water Yet

When Stormy Seas Replace Fair Winds and
Following Seas to Find New Resource Rich Paradises,

Boats Also Need Anchors to Find the Order of Safe Harbors

And Not Perish in the Chaos of Wind and Storms That Otherwise

May
Wash
Away
Life; Hmm,

In the Animal Kingdom,
Through Scientific Research,
One Finds About 20 Percent

Sitters and 80 Percent Rovers;

Yep, Even Amongst Worms there
Are those With Sails and Anchors too;

Yet Obviously, if There Are Not Enough
'Beings' Open to New Experience, As A Whole,

We Don't Adapt to Environmental Challenge And Succeed as a Species;

Yawn, as Far As Politics Goes and the Terms Liberal and Conservative;

The Pandemic surely Proved How Many Liberal Conservatives There Were

Willing to Go Maskless Without Vaccinations in A Life Taking Pandemic;

True, FEWER ANCHORS
IN THE STORM THeRE;

JUST SELFISH MOTIVES

TO DO THE HELL WHATEVER
THEY WANTED TO DO FOR FREE;

Indeed, Something was Missing, Do Least Harm;

Fair to those who Are Marginalized; Particularly,
The Elderly as They Were 'Sacrificed in the Mud to

Build
Higher
Pyramids;'

Listen, We Need
Anchors and Sails;

Yet More, We Need A Whole
Lot Less Ignorance That Neither

Ignores Those Committing Crimes
Endangering Their Fellow Citizens

Or A Deadly Pandemic

Through Ignorance

As
Well...

It's A Matter of Karma;
Simple Actions And Consequences;

Either, We Adapt Well Enough With a
Balance of Anchors And Sails or the Entire

'Titanic'
May
Crash
Into an
'Orange Iceberg'
That is Anything Yet Conservative...

Sinking into a Land of Ignorance That
Refuses to Adapt And Survive More Rationally Indeed...

Anyway, For Those Who Have Difficulty With Metaphor,

A Fairly Comprehensive Video With Jonathan Haidt

Describes Why Some

Folks Who See Michelangelo's
'David,' Do See the Gestalt of
The Aesthetic of the Human Form;

While Others, Visibly Grimace As

They Just Can't Keep Their Eyes

off of Focusing

on the Smallest

Detail of What
Even Helps to Provide Life;

Just Wanting to Erase Our
Natural Place in the Animal Kingdom For Real;

Clue:

Free in Balance;
Yes, a Balance
of Anchors and
Sails; Yawn, Most

Folks Have Both Conservative
And Liberal Traits; Humans Change

Day to Day, By Both Neurohormonal
And Neurochemical Influences For Real;

With Some Neo-Cortical Influence

In Change, the Only Constant;

True, More Variables
Than What Makes

A Flat Worm A
Sitter or Rover, hehe;

Yet On the Other Hand,
A Worm Will Lose Its Head
And Brain; Grow Another

And Retain Learned
Memories Before,

When the Other

Head and

Accompanied
Brain was Attached;

Perhaps, Jonathan Haidt,

Simplified it a Bit too Much,
Back Before the Variable of the Pandemic Indeed...

Yawn, Where i Live in Trump Town USA, Where The
Fool Matt Gaetz Represents this Place too; It's Easy

to Be Mistaken as 'Conservative;' All You Have to Do

Is Look Like You Can Hit a Home Run on the First
Baptist Softball Team; You are as Good as Already Recruited HAha...

(Even if You Don't Play Team Sports or DO NOT Go STRICTLY By Sheet
Music With the Choir

Like me)

Ironically Yes, Or
Sing Like An Angel

Open to Every Note
New of Experience in
Creating Always Changing Perfect Pitch...

Humans are Fascinating; THere ain't No Cookie

Cutter Humans; Just Constant Changing Winds of Reality...

Somewhat, to my Wife's Chagrin, i've Been Mostly
Extremely Fiscally Conservative; Somewhat, to my

Wife's Chagrin, i'm Extremely Extroverted and Open
To All Kinds of New Experiences; The Reason i Stay

Married And The Reason Both Conservatives And
Liberals, Both Conservatively and Liberally Hug me

In Public Most Everywhere i Go,

IS, i Am always Kind; Always Kind;

As i Am Naked, Enough, Whole, Complete;

No Way Anyone Will Add or Subtract From Who i am...

And Yes that's

True Success;

(to me at least)

Enduring

Endearing

^ In a yet poetic manner, you said that liberals have one thing and that is being open to new experiences. Yes, it is that liberals want new experiences but they must be aware of the dangerous hazards that may turn them against the communist society. The best thing to do is stop listening to propaganda on social media and realize that what we all want is to be left alone from the bourgeois elite and finally end this cycle of doom-scrolling perpetrated by mainstream neoliberalism.

I am SO glad I am not a Liberal, because . . . You May Be A Liberal If:

• An innocent person is shot and killed, and you blame the N.R.A. or the gun manufacturer, and never the person doing the shooting (unless he or she works in Law Enforcment).

• One day you label the President as just a "stupid hick from the sticks" and the next day call him an "evil genius".

• You abhor censorship unless it censors the Christian, conservative, and/or traditional American culture.

• You accept as fact that 'evangelical' is a dirty word.

• You accept as fact that "freedom of choice" applies only to abortion.

• You accept as fact that "tolerance" is reserved solely for those who share your opinions and ideologies.

• You accept as fact that "truth" is either irrelevant or relative.

• You accept as fact that "wealthy white males" are evil, but are willing to over-look the fact that Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, George Soros, Michael Moore, Joseph Biden, and Al Franken are all wealthy, white, and/or male.

• You accept as fact that 1 white among 19 blacks is 'Diversity', yet 1 black among 19 whites is 'Bigotry'.

• You accept as fact that 3 whites beating up on 1 black is a hate crime, but 3 blacks ganging up on one white is "... a just response to an oppressive culture that is dominated by wealthy white males".

• You accept as fact that 6-month old babies and little old ladies should be frisked at the airport, because focusing only on swarthy-looking young Arabs would be discriminatory.

• You accept as fact that 86% of all income taxes are paid by the top 25% of income earners, yet you still feel that the rich "aren't paying their fair share of the taxes".

• You accept as fact that 9/11 was an "Israeli conspiracy" and could never have been carried out by Bin Laden or his cronies.

• You accept as fact that a lawyer taking 33% from a settlement for his services is fair, but the Government taking 33% of your paycheck for taxes is "too low".

• You accept as fact that a mother's wishes for her child who had long before deserted his family should outweigh the wishes of the child's father.

• You accept as fact that a penny saved is a government oversight.

• You accept as fact that a person's gender, sexual preference, or race -- but not their ability and willingness to actually do the work they were hired to do -- should be the deciding factor in who gets hired or promoted.

• You accept as fact that a President who lied under oath, compromised with fanatical dictators, and gave military secrets to hostile regimes is somehow better for America than the previous Administration.

• You accept as fact that a tax cut is bad for the economy, and that a tax hike helps the poor.

• You accept as fact that a woman should make it on her own, without depending on her husband; but that if she fails, it is because of a "Glass Ceiling" and never her own lack of ability or willingness to do the job.

• You accept as fact that affirming a child's self-esteem is more important than providing that child with an education.

• You accept as fact that Al Hunt is the most informed journalist who ever worked for the Wall Street Journal.

• You accept as fact that all of our servicemembers are being brainwashed and manipulated into blood-thirsty zombies.

• You accept as fact that allowing a child to carry a Bible to school is wrong, and that encouraging interest in non-Christian religious beliefs is right.

• You accept as fact that an accusation against a Conservative should not be concerned with whether or not that accusation is a lie or the truth but should be wholly concerned with the seriousness of the accusation.

• You accept as fact that an increase of 1/2-degree in temperature within a time span of 50 years is significant; that is, a sample of 50 from a population size of 4.5 billion (0.00000125%) is statistically significant.

• You accept as fact that another person's Freedom OF Religion is an infringement upon your own rights to Freedom FROM Religion.

• You accept as fact that any conservative, wealthy, white male is more dangerous than any terrorist regime.

• You accept as fact that any form of bigotry is wrong unless it is directed against conservative, wealthy, white males.

• You accept as fact that being a Hollywood icon automatically means you are more "in tune" to world events than the leaders of any country.

• You accept as fact that being able to play the President on a popular TV drama automatically equates to "political savvy" in real life.

• You accept as fact that Bill Clinton was an "honest and virtuous man".

• You accept as fact that boycotting a Conservative organization is right and just, while a Conservative boycott of a Liberal organization is bigotry.

• You accept as fact that burning the U.S. Flag is acceptable, because it's just a swatch of cloth and doesn't mean anything, but that just flying the Confederate Stars & Bars is unacceptable, because it's a symbol of hatred.

• You accept as fact that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

• You accept as fact that capital punishment is wrong, and that abortion on demand is a right.

• You accept as fact that Capitalism oppresses people and Socialism liberates people.

• You accept as fact that celebrities and other media icons have the right to Freedom of Speech and those who agree with them have the right to Freedom of Speech, but those who dare to disagree with them do not.

• You accept as fact that censorship is absolutely wrong; except when it's applied to conservatives on college campuses or on talk radio via the fairness doctrine.

• You accept as fact that charisma is an appropriate substitute for honesty.

• You accept as fact that choice is an inalienable right, except when it comes to retirement, schools, and health care.

• You accept as fact that combat veterans are "war criminals", but an urban thug who murders in cold blood is just one more "victim of society".

• You accept as fact that Conservatives should be held to a different and higher standard than you are willing to meet yourself.

• You accept as fact that conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex offender belongs in the White House.

• You accept as fact that conservatives, like preservatives, ought to be federally regulated.

• Your first response to the suffering of others is to utter the words "I feel your pain...".

• Your parents gave you an acre of preserved rain forest for your first birthday.

• Your response to anything Rush Limbaugh says is, "Well, he's fat".

:lol: (This list was initiated on 2012-08-08.)


Ye have returned with an interesting fact. Seeing that your list is from 2012 and twelve years have passed, it is time I do something about it.

1. The gun thing is more of a classic liberal approach with the Second Amendment being wholly respected with a change that gun violence is only caused by police and not criminals.

2. Most of the things you've listed are pretty much American standards of a liberal back in 2012. As a Yugoslav, I must say that America isn't the only country in the world. Then again, we all laugh upon the stereotypes of liberals and conservatives in the United States for they are being polarized by none other than the American elite seeking to gain profit, only to sow its seed of destruction once polarization reaches an all-time high of hostility that even a slight spark will Balkanize all of America!

3. The "Your first response to the suffering of others is to utter the words "I feel your pain..."" is without a doubt the liberal agenda of being superficially supportive of a minority only to just exploit it emotionally. It is such that is considered the reason why social media has enabled the minority elite to turn the majorities hostile with polarization!

4. You copy-pasted some of my takes on liberalism.

5. Your take on liberalism is from a rather reactionary perspective.

6. UN troops were stationed in Bosnia and guess what the UN did? Nothing! The cowards caved into the Chetnik (Serbian nationalist) demands and allowed for 8,372 lives to be destroyed in Srebrenica. Never will we trust America, Russia, or China ever after this unforgiving crime against all of humanity for not condemning Serbia properly!

7. Under communism there is no laziness. An optimal equilibrium is maintained to prevent people from being too lazy or from being too poor. The Gini index of 0.3 is vital and we still have notable wealth income inequality worldwide which is above the 0.4 limit per UN standards. Those who say that communism makes people lazy do not read the communist theory at all and assume based on anti-communist rhetoric.

8. The "You want whatever you feel you deserve to have, especially if you didn't earn it." part is very accurate and stands still to this day. I cannot genuinely believe the liberals always whining about not getting the things "they deserve" though they don't even know what they're talking about!

9. "You uphold a woman's right to choose, unless a woman chooses adoption, chooses to be a stay-at-home mom, chooses to home-school, or chooses to start a business." is part of the reverse sexism action where they believe that women who want to have businesses of their own or are comfortable with stay-at-home are traitors to the feminine cause. Let's not forget that women who dress masculine and behave masculine (sporty or not) are women. Tomboys don't deserve such disrespect from the liberals who ironically claim to support the ideal "Strong and independent woman".

10. "You refuse to ever fly the American flag or any other show of patriotism because this country has so many things wrong with it." - Believe it or not, I have the American flag in my room not for the patriotic cause but simply cause I am a collector of flags. Recently got a flag of France. If the Yugoslav flag is the problem simply because of communism, then I will proudly watch a liberal throw a temper tantrum when they realize that Yugoslavia had the least damage done to communism unlike USSR, China, DPRK, and Cambodia.

11. "You refuse to admit that you're a liberal,-" because I am not really a liberal but a radical communist better than an average liberal in America who doesn't know how communism works properly and comes up with crazy theories such as "sexual liberation" being the second phase of the revolution. Do I look like I am willing to be horny for this pathetic liberal "cause of the revolution"? Never!

12. "You pride yourself on your global awareness, global sensitivity and global outlook, but can't name your state legislator or school board representative." and this is why liberals would be on the equal footing with reactionaries over climate change. Both would deny climate change with the liberals blaming it on certain race or gender instead of blaming it on the elite!

13. "You have used the phrase, "in Europe, the government pays for health care and vacation," without irony." well isn't that just funny for someone to assume that all of Europe runs on the Nordic model? I don't think it would refer to all of Europe but Western Europe and Scandinavian nations. Eastern Europe is delving rather poor due to the Russian bureaucracy responsible for the economic sabotage of the self-determination of the communist states, ripping them of their own communist causes and simply making them subordinate to the Russian imperialism. China will do the same too for communist states!

14. "You accept as fact that any form of bigotry is wrong unless it is directed against conservative, wealthy, white males." this is called "Reverse Racism".

15. "You accept as fact that Mikhail Gorbachev deserves more credit for losing the Cold War than Ronald Reagan deserves for winning it." isn't that considered supporting the Russian oligarchy unconditionally given that Gorbachov indirectly created the corrupt bourgeois oligarchy in Russia as a result of shock therapy in the 1990s that allowed for Russian nationalist reactionaries like Putin to ascend their way to the throne by 2000 and solidify their power for over 24 years now!

16. "You accept as fact that global warming today is inevitable just as firmly as you accepted as fact that global cooling was inevitable back in the 1970s." burned in hot summer temperatures in April 2024 in a city surrounded by mountains. Nothing to do with "God".

17. "You accept as fact that if somebody disagrees with you, they are challenging or denying your rights to Free Speech." indeed. The last time I tried to be more open, only did it cause controversy. Especially the identity politics thing which many have tried so desperately to close down because they didn't wanna hear a word of my freedom of expression (they baselessly attacked me with claims that I am transphobic despite me showing no anti-transgender stuff in my replies and even debunking personal attacks) for they know that I am no liberal and that I am no reactionary and that they can throw derogatory stuff at me all they want but never accomplish anything because they're the ones censoring the people who know a little too much.

18. "You have an "I'm the victim" mentality, and you milk it dry every single day." is the most common thing for an average liberal to do.

19. "You claim you are "offended" by Christianity, yet you still partake in the Christmas festivities and demand a paid holiday." as someone baptized to be Catholic but now is Agnostic, I have no issue with the "Christmas" thing though I may be a communist.

20. "You accept as fact that 9/11 was an "Israeli conspiracy" and could never have been carried out by Bin Laden or his cronies." this one isn't really a liberal thing but more of a Jihadist statement.

You may be a Liberal if...

1. You are against any kind of authority, especially when the nation faces a serious economic crisis that needs some desperate action to be taken in order to stabilize the economy.

2. You are progressive on social issues but do not relate to socialists or communists.

3. You proclaim yourself as a "leftist" despite your views not even matching with an actual leftist intellectual (the same goes for reactionaries who also call themselves "leftists" despite their ideologies literally coming from totalitarians such as Stalin, Pol Pot, and the Juche ideology).

4. You support "affirmative action" (positive discrimination such as reverse racism, reverse sexism, etc.).

5. You claim to be supportive of the class struggle but do not provide the material necessities for a revolution.

6. You spread a liberal agenda on social media under the disguise of "awareness" as a means of grabbing attention and solidifying your reactionary egotism, thereby making you a mere puppet of the rightoids.

7. You unconditionally support minority rights even if there are bad apples among the minority groups that need to be dealt with in order to prevent further social stigma against minorities who are suffering from the bad apples (examples include Hamas for Palestinians and Arabs in general and Israel for Jews).

8. You unconditionally believe that individual freedom is necessary, even if it may cause economic and social harm if given to the wrong hands (e.g. exploitation of labor and culture wars).

9. You feel the need to express certain private matters to the public, even if they may be distraught by the things you do in private.

10. You want to be "strong", "nonconforming", and "independent", when in fact, you are part of the new digital mainstream with millions of others who also want to be "nonconforming" despite the paradox that comes with the creation of a large mainstream that disguises itself as "nonconforming".

Well I am a social liberal even though I am a Republican.


Wouldn't that make you a classical liberal?

In a yet poetic manner, you said that liberals have one thing and that is being open to new experiences. Yes, it is that liberals want new experiences but they must be aware of the dangerous hazards that may turn them against the communist society. The best thing to do is stop listening to propaganda on social media and realize that what we all want is to be left alone from the bourgeois elite and finally end this cycle of doom-scrolling perpetrated by mainstream neoliberalism.




While It's Interesting to Study and Potentially Create New Ways of Better Economic and Governing Systems;

The Bottom Lines are, We Still Have to Face the Realities of the Systems We Are Born Into And Make the Best

The System in the United States Is Tough For a Lot of Folks, No Doubt;

And As Free And Happy as Anyone i've met on the Entire Planet to this Point at Least...

It Was All Blood

With No Smiles or Tears;

Yet Never the Less; at Core We

Even When We Don't Really

Want to Be Here Anymore

By Ideology Yet Not the Reality
of Our Innate Biology to Survive.

It's True, in the Big World of Adapting And
Surviving and Thriving in Difficult Challenges of Life,

Those Open to New Experiences, With The Ability To
Change Enough in Creative Pursuits to Overcome Challenge

Are Those More Likely

to Become Successful

And What Other

Folks Term

As More 'Elite'

Human Beings Living
in a Realm Others Can't Even Dream of...

Yet You See, i'm a Dreamer and Make my Dreams come true...

Not everyone Appreciates THAT; Some Folks Even Get Butthurt Yet

This One Life to

Feel They Are Hopeless

Victims in a Target Audience;

Instead of Free Agents, Finding Ways
to Write, Direct, Produce, and Play Their Own Realities...

THEY THRIVE OR THEY DON'T;

IF You are Open Enough to New experience of Course...

Life
Ain't Fair;

Some Folks Stay
in Caves No Matter

And Some of Those Prisons are Virtually 'Trump Towers'...

Here's Another 'Thing;' Science Shows At Core Humans Are Not Rational
Creatures; They More Often Are Mastered By Emotions That Precede What

Neuroscience Shows We Basically
Hallucinate Our Realities Based on
Our Previous Hallucinations of Reality We Co-Create;

What This Means is A Dude Can Come Around And Tell Some

Matter of Fact; Still Now, in Just One Country,
70 or 80 Million Folks Out of 300 Million or So

Will Come to Do This For Real; It's Hard for Some

Folks to Leave
'the Cave' and

Get Out Into Broad
Daylight and Make

A Hallucination of Life that is a bit more real...

Huge Heterogeneous Societies Require Massive

to Survive By a Governing Authority; Humans Are

Still Naturally Evolved to Forage and Cooperate Close to
Naked in Groups of No More than about 150 Well Acquainted Folks...

The Closest One Will Come to Find a Collectivist Spirit like this in the United

States is Perhaps When A Small First Baptist Church Gets Together on the Pastor's

Farm and Has a First Sunday Dinner Potluck Where Everyone Does Their Best to Make

The Best Food Possible For Everyone Else and If Someone Comes With Empty Hands

They Are Afforded

No Different Place

At the Dinner Table;

Every One is Served as
The Face of God Yet of Course

They Believe in the Same Sandy Blonde Haired Green/Blue Eyed Dude...

Doesn't Make a Bit of Difference if He Ever Looked Like that or Not...

If You Can, Write

Here are some examples of my liberal beliefs.....I think all drugs should be legal and sold everywhere in every store in the country and I think that the whole country needs to be as alcohol friendly as we were before Prohibition and I think alcohol and hard liquor need to be sold in every county and parish and city and town and store in the country.I also think tobacco should deregulated and that the whole country should be as tobacco friendly as it gets like in the 1920's.I think that alcohol and tobacco should be deregulated.

I think energy drinks and jumbo soft drinks should be legal for everybody and deregulated.I think all drugs need to be deregulated and be priced to compete with black market drugs from drug dealers.I think prostitution should be legal and deregulated and priced to compete with the black market.I think all gambling,lotteries and sports betting should be legal and deregulated.I think sin taxes should be ultra low to non-existent.I think every state in the nation needs to have strong labor unions with every private sector worker having the chance to be in a union that ensures they make a living wage if they have a full-time job working 40 hours a week.I am a South Park Republican

The whole Liberalism/Conservatism dichotomy is a joke.  No one can be wholly one or the other; there will always be some admixture of the two, and people are deluding themselves if they think otherwise.  This is why both the "Woke" and "QAnon" movements look like competing clown acts you might see on a public-access channel at three o'clock in the morning.

At least you are aware of the culture war between reactionaries and liberals instigated by the elite.

only in usa it's called liberal(the left), eg liberal in europe is more the conservative in name only; like the rino's, free world trade for the multinationals and banks, free (slave/cattle) trade, free philantropizing for taxevasion , free wars for multinationals(payed by the cattle) more and more government rules to make the cattle pay the multinationals by force!
statism for corporatism, -to-the-bank-to-the-bank-
correction
Corporatism does not refer to a political system dominated by large business interests, even though the latter are commonly referred to as "corporations" in modern American vernacular and legal parlance; instead, the correct term for this theoretical system would be corporatocracy. corpocracy is an economic, political and judicial system controlled by business corporations or corporate interests

oh-well both liberal things are: big is beautiful, & big is best
big state big bank big tech big pharma
