I reject left/center/right and just say "I'm traditionalist." I don't care about modern political solutions or high-tech infrastructure. People pretty much get what you mean, whether they like your stance or not.
Comment on We are not "Right Wing"
retarded_fuckstick@wolfballs.com 2 years agoThe thing that pisses me off the most is that there are already set rules for being one or the other. Like, if you're left wing you want A, B, and C, and hate D. If you're right wing, you want E, F, and G, and hate H. Why? Why do people pick one or the other then accept all the rules? I'd say I'm more of a centrist purely because I can see good and bad things on both sides of the argument. There's no way anyone on the left or right agrees with 100% of their ideals. If they do, they're fucking sheep plain and simple.

I hate this too -- If you agree with a little they expect you to agree with everything, and many of those things have nothing to do with each other!
"You don't like spending too much money, right?" No! I hate that! "Then you agree that we should set up a Christian caliphate!" wut?
"You don't think we should let poor people literally die in the street, right?" No, you're right! "Then you agree that we should shame men to have sex with trans people!" wut?
Seriously, give an inch take a parsec! I'd prefer we think for ourselves and decide for ourselves what we believe in by ourselves as individuals rather than letting an ism choose for us.
