Liberals of /pol/, why are the fuck you even here?
>>68291188
To troll, shitpost and lower the quality of discussion in general.
>>68291188
Because conservatism is a disease.
>>68291188
Probably for idiocy like this
Because I hate niggers, but think that a homogenous white society would benefit from liberal ideals, so long as they keep out jews (which lead to degeneracy).
/pol/ is a joke. How can you be right-wing and support a Jewish friend?

>>68291188
/pol/ is satire
>>68291188
Because I'm not afraid of facing down my enemy.
These days everyone is so polarised and both sides have their echo chambers to retreat to, but I'm not interested in that. We have to be able to meet the other side and compete with them in the battlefield of ideas.

*tips*
Because I'm an adventurer and posting to a like minded place is no fun. So I come here to conservacucks safe space echo chamber hug box to do half fun posting half serious posting.
I also like to participate in /pol/'s racism to blow off steam from the frustrating stereotypes I encounter.
>>68292902
Say what you want, but at least I'm not hiding away in an echo chamber and using numerical superiority to shout down opposition through shitposting.

>>68294244
Don't those places ban you when you start to bring up facts that are outside of their hug boxes.
There is no such thing as ''left politics''
Nobody in his right mind who understand how nation function would be a leftist.
Everything about the left revolve around meticulously taking a country, a group of people, a culture completely apart by making them ashamed.
That is why they will always be strongly pro immigration. Migrants represent the majority of their voting pool. Migrants and women. Who both do not exactly have the best of your interest at heart, especially since they will always resent white males.
The liberal party of canada itself was a machination by the canadian secret services specifically to undermine Levesque's separatist effort in quebec.
If you love danking the politician are puppet meme like a the real edge master most of you are then you should always blame it on the left. They are literal puppets.
>>68291188
There's nothing wrong with genuine liberalism, and more of /pol/ is liberal than you'd guess. However, it's not the same as being 'progressive' which is a byword for the stifling of any rational debate which challenges PC views. You can be left or right wing these days, liberal or conservative, but what you're not allowed to be is not progressive, because seriously man, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!? THAT'S RACIST
>>68293904
Reddit. Although they'll just downvote your posts to oblivion if you contradict the hivemind. I don't talk politics there, either.

>>68292231
fuck you faggot
Because I believe in freedom. That included a lot of freedoms the current crop of beta SJW "liberals" want to ban, just because they don't like it. This place is one of the last bastions of truly free speech. I don't need a hugbox, or to agree with even 10% of it, just freedom to say whatever the fuck I want to say.
>>68293904
Probably because being a liberal is an educated perspective and this board is full of high schoolers and people who never went to or finished college.

>>68298182
Could you explain to me why Liberalism is educated?
>>68291188
This isn't a hugbox for any political affiliation.
>>68296178
It's not an educated perspective because their beliefs are based on an entirely, ten thousand a five percent a-historical perspective. They examine society as it exists now and are quick to throw the finger without understanding the history and the actual facts and statistics behind it. They also never consider the fact that the societies and peoples and movements for which they share the most compassion would be met with slaughter should they ever dare to exist in such a space.

To be a liberal means to face death. If that's fine with you, so be it. It is not fine for me.

>>68291188
As weird as it sounds, /pol/ as been the biggest empathy granter I could have asked for.
90% of this board is shit, but I used to regard all conservatives as raving lunatics. After having some actually conversation with a few (usually on slow threads that are only comprised of a few people), I've actually come to realize that most are pretty decent people. And that's a big step for me.
Also this >>68291351 on larger threads.

The Carl the Cuck and AIDS Skrillex memes perfectly encapsulate why I hate SJWs.
They claim to champions of academia as they broadly paint the right as uneducated university drop outs while toting around a fucking Arts degree and think that somehow makes them a paradigm of logic and intellectual perfection.
And the most ironic thing about it all, is that when challenged or asked to provide credible evidence for why their arguments are valid (y'know, the shit they fucking teach you to properly do in college) they always respond with shit like "ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED?" in an incredulous voice as if that is supposed to trigger a common agreement on both sides that there is basic common knowledge being somehow overlooked here.
Absolutely unbelievable! Aristotle is turning in his grave over these smarmy fucks.
>>68299390
Every lefty I've met, especially Bernie supporters tend to be the type that suffer from anxiety, and some form of depression. Usually they're the "geeky" type that sketch pictures in the dark for Deviant Art and obsess over cats.
Also, this study shows how liberals have a victim complex and think everyone's out to get them.

I think it's best described as a circle, and it makes much, much more sense when you consider fascism like in nazi germany. It was literally an extreme far-right and far-left movement in that it wanted to go extra far in preservation and also change (through socialism)

>>68291188
I'm not quite a "liberal" but I'm definitely more liberal than most of /pol/
It just doesn't bother me when people disagree with me. And in general I find conservatives to be both more honest and kinder people provided you show them the same kindness.
I'm also addicted to the (You)'s and /pol/ is probably the easiest place to get them since /sp/ was destroyed

Of course not, I'm just pissed at both sides here.
>>68291188
I hate Clinton and admire some of Trump's policies. I just have an issue with a few others. I'm not afraid of discussing shit with people even if they don't share my opinions. You never learn if you just stick in your own bubble.
>>68301430
Kind of, but our camps are called gulags and are for kulaks and reactionaries as well as jews and fags

Because I'm a Liberal, not a "Liberal".
Part of being open minded and entertaining new ideas is listening to everyone.
Sucks that "Liberal" is just slang for Left-wing Populist now. The big problem with being a real Liberal is how much of a cynic it makes you - you watch how people behave on both sides and you come to realise just how horrible, anti-intellectual and scummy the majority of people in vocal positions are.
I'm depressed.
>>68293478
with space colonization, this is possible
there are no black astronauts
Because you assholes may be racist and a good number of you are flat-out factually wrong, and an even greater number of you are stupid, but at least you're pretty damn funny.
And if I'm going to be completely honest, there is also a large number of racist, factually wrong, stupid liberals, too, but they aren't really as funny. Hence why I'm here, gently simmering in your stupidity, jokes and great memes, instead of gently simmering in stupidity, shitty memes, and furfaggotry over on tumblr.
I can take or leave reddit. In varies from sub to sub. Some are insufferable, some are pretty good. Only major thing I have against this site is the reddit hate. It's like saying you hate the internet: you get that there are literally thousands of communities, most of which do not share overlap with most others, right?
Because I am a classical liberal and I hate what leftism has become in the last 20 years.
>>68292231
I can't even argue with these braindead liberals though. All they scream are buzzwords and ad homs. I shitpost frequently but when I get to serious discussion they don't return the favor and just act smug and refuse to have their view challenged as if they're right.
>>68291188
we need them here. a true free society needs both left and right leaning individuals who are able to disagree fundamentally but still be able to coalesce and find common ground together. Too much one way or the other never turns out very well for either side.
What? Is pol suposed to be a conservative safe space?

But do they come with productive debates though? No All they're doing now is shitposting about how Trump is an Israel shill, and just treat different opinions as if they're wrong. They don't come here for reasonable debate, they come here to invade. /pol/ just minds its business most of the time and our people are more or less contained here and we don't go out and ruin other websites. But the "tolerant" left does not have any standards and just attack and try to silence opposition.

>>68303430
Also, I'm not talking about colonizing mars
I think that's retarded. Cislunar colonization is significantly easier and more feasible and has several serious benefits:
Space-based solar power is ~7x more efficient than solar power would be on Earth. That's just the purely physics-based aspects of it. Beaming power to any nation on Earth willing to pay for it is one of two serious financial inputs. Especially if whites leave the planet and all the powerplants begin failing because nobody else left on the planet can keep the infrastructure functioning.
The second of the two is a low-orbit internetwork with extremely low-latency communication that would be faster than land-based fiber-optics. Once again whites would benefit tremendously from moving telecommunications infrastructure entirely into orbit while ground-based infrastructure fails.
Part of making those two possible would be space-based manufacturing, which makes all construction in space significantly cheaper and also allows a smaller financial input from de-orbiting precious metals mined from asteroids to Earth, and...
As part of the mining process, large asteroids can be hollowed out and turned into O'neill cylinders, spinning along one axis to generate acceleration almost indistinguishable from gravity. This gives us our habitation and manufacturing center; space cities. Yet another economic generating machine.
Once we have cislunar space conquered, literally the entire solar system is ours. It costs practically nothing to get around once you're out of Earth's gravity well.
And because we have the high ground, as well as the majority of resources and energy in the solar system, our position will never be challenged or threatened again.

It's really what happened to me honestly. I held pretty liberal views once and fell for all the college and media memes. Then I actually went to investigate the other side and now I find myself agreeing with more conservative values. I still hold on to some left beliefs though, generally of the more reasonable kind.
>>68304695

>>68304785
I tell them it's bait, and they still come biting.
Not a better place on the web, seriously.
>>68304703
Happens to everyone, especially with the rabid SJW left taking over and pushing the non-extremists away.
A lot of leftist arguments just don't stand up to scrutiny, much as a lot of the rightwing arguments don't.
But the key difference I find, is that the rightwing 'arguments' that don't make any sense are almost universally strawman/caricatures created by the left.
The main reason I'm here is to debate liberals and gain information to debate liberals. I like memes and shitposting as much as the next guy but I'd rather learn more about what's going on in the world and how the world typically works
>>68304861
Nobody cares, fucking fag.
>>68291188
I come here to feel better about my pathetic existence. Every time I go 4chan.org/pol/, I'm bombarded with so much shit and hate that I can't help but say to myself, "you know what? I'm better than these guys."
>>68297222
The internet hate machine is a hugbox? this is 4chan the most insulting place on the earth.
Even when someone agrees with you they call you a faggot and everyone just goes along wiht it and not get offended.
How in the fuck is 4chan a hugbox?
>>68304821
I have encountered a few on here that bring up good points but they are exceedingly rare. Most of them I try to argue with just say "no ur wrong" or call me some kind of -ism, basically they shut down and stop replying. Also I can't hold a serious conversation with people that bring MUH FEELINGS into their argument. I only want to debate logically, emotions are irrational and a flaw of humans, they have no place in debate.
I'm getting sick of the raiders. If they disagree with pol/ fine, but their bullshit is not welcome here and they only do more to turn the regular users of this board against them.
>>68305039
ok
here's the modern progressive mindset:

there u go
>>68291188
Pol is top tier satire
>>68305483
it's a hugbox because nationalistic/conservative thought on 4chan is at the very least treated neutrally and on /pol/ it's the majority.
leftists aren't use to that
>>68305483
4chan's a hurtbox
>>68293476
But I support communism just as much as libretarianism, because they both support the advancement of science and art.
Any intellectual human being fed a stream of money will eventually find the time to study and expand human ideals, any broke intellectual human will invent the next big thing as fast as he can just to get ahead of the crowd.
All of these nationalists, luddites, and wage limiters just want free handouts from the government so they can keep doing the same shit over and over again, it's sad really.
Either go authoritarian or libretarian, all of this in-between bullshit is just degenerate.
>>68291188
Because we have intelligence and common sense. Something /pol/ and Trump Supporters don't have.
>>68305636
leftists can't handle anyone having opinions that differ from them
They'll SAY people can have their own opinions, but god forbid you actually do have legitimate differences from them.
It's especially apparent how racist and condescending they get if you happen to be a minority and disagree with them.
>>68305013
The sjws really did it for me though. All this identity politics bullshit and PC culture "no fun allowed" and I was getting fed up with having to walk around eggshells everywhere I went. Granted this place is a hugbox often but when you remove all the shitposting and memes, there are some pretty rational people here open to debate. Can't get that kind of talk on many subreddits or Tumblr where they just report you or ban you for not agreeing with them.
>>68305508
Well...yes that usually sums it up.
>>68305637
good way of saying it anon,not sure what the redditor is trying to say anymore but they will probably change the meaning of hugbox if it helps their argument.
the very notion of 4chan being a hugbox goes against everything the media has been saying for the last decade but if the libs can twist anything it will be that.
4chan and hugbox should never even be mentioned together.
