    But they even used the name “Conservative Party” so we can mentally connect this insanity to our own local conservatives in between bong hits, comfortably assured of our biases.

        I have this guy tagged as “Religious Fruitcake”, of the “Masturbation is evil” and “god put women here to serve man” types

          You know, normally I just block trolls and idiots, but tagging them descriptively definitely sounds more interesting…

            It’s much better imo. I don’t really block at all but I like to tag people so I know in the future when they come up to hold their comment with less weight

          Do you know if we can tag using mobile apps, or is it using desktop only? I’m not seeing the option in my app (voyager), but that doesn’t mean that others won’t, obviously.

      It’s pretty easy to see that “conservatives” the entire world over are just absolutely evil human waste. Their actions prove that.

        Probably should be noted that this is a tiny party in Japan…and also the dominant Liberal Democratic Party is not really what Americans would think of as liberal. It is a very conservative country.

          So even further from what the rest of us might see as liberal?
