I’d like to start a series seeking viewpoints from across the political spectrum in general discussions about modern society and where everyone stands on what is not working, what is working, and where we see things going in the future.

Please answer in good-faith and if you don’t consider yourself conservative or “to the right”, please reserve top-level discussion for those folks so it reaches the “right” folks haha.

Please don’t downvote respectful content that is merely contrary to your political sensibillities, lets have actual discourse and learn more about each other and our respective viewpoints.

Will be doing other sides soon but lets start with this and see where it takes us.

    Contradiction in terms.

    The fact you’re obviously conflating an entire religion with Nazis is disgusting, and once again ignores that I am telling you, Christians already push some heinous shit in this country, to-day.

    Are you sure you want to talk about dogma versus practice? Are you sure you want to paint an entire demographic based on the loudest and most violent assholes among them? Because it’s not gonna go well for you, the self-professed conservative, no doubt aligned with quite a fucking lot of devout Christians who want my blood.

            No, answer the question. Do you still commit domestic violence? Questions can’t be wrong… apparently. There’s no possible way you expressed bigotry through the medium of analogy. So tell me if you still hit your wife.

              Thats a loaded question. Is “is it okay to be bigoted against nazis?” a loaded question?

                Yes, calling opposition to Nazis bigotry is a loaded question. It’s a contradiction in terms. Welcome to six hours ago.

                And the painfully obvious thrust of that question is that you’re trying to justify bigotry against Muslims.

                And again I ask you - how do you feel about all of the fucking Christians who are already here, doing Nazi shit?

                  Oh if you cant be bigoted against nazis, then im not bigoted against people who condone rape. Remember not all muslims believe that, just some from a certain culture.

                    Being against rape isn’t bigotry.

                    Being against Muslims because you assume they love rape is.

                    Judging people because of presumed beliefs, based on where they’re from or what religion they are, is what prejudice is. It’s not fucking complicated. You’re just grasping for excuses to treat other people as lesser human beings.

                    And again I ask you - how about all the specific Christians who demonstrably want ten-year old rape victims to give birth? I’d bet anything your broad brush doesn’t extend to that whole “culture.”
