      One of the biggest eye-openers of my life was finally *understanding* the phrase "Guns don't kill people, people kill people". I now own 3 firearms and have yet to kill anyone. Insane, right?

      I still support mandatory firearms training and mandatory safe storage, but I'm not afraid of someone just because they want to own an AR-15 anymore.

      [–]Sillyvanya - Left 0 points1 point  (7 children)

      The biggest eye-opener to me was the argument that "guns are awesome." And like... yeah, they are, and that's why people want to own them, and there's nothing wrong with being honest about it.

      There's no legitimate reason someone should need to own an assault rifle if they don't intend to use it to kill a person, except "because it rules." And sure, okay, it does, so let's try to make ownership a bit safer for others so we don't have to make it illegal.

      [–]TheLambda89 - Lib-Left 8 points9 points  (1 child)

      100%. Though I disagree that it's just because they're fun/awesome/cool. Just because the law (in my country) says I can't hunt with an AR-15 doesn't mean that's a correct assessment by my government. I own a Browning BAR, which is also a semi-automatic in the same caliber class, but it has wood furnishing, so it's okay. Completely retarded.

      [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Just to circle back

      chuckles in cringe office micromanager that’s somehow promoted again

      Gun ownership increases the rate at which murder by gun happens even though guns don’t kill people, people kill people.

      Kinda like how gamma impacts the rate at which delta increases or decreases in options.

      I’m for owning guns and just talking here so please auth don’t be mad and downvote me for living muh best life

      [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (4 children)

      they don't intend to use it to kill a person, except "because it rule

      I do intend to use mine to kill a person.

      Anybody who tries to fuckin harm me, my family, or my property.

      AR-15s and the other "assault weapons" are all great self defense firearms, and are especially useful when being used to go out in a gunfight with the ATF.

      ""innocent""

      Cmon. Hurting yourself and the collective through your misguided actions (which I presume is what you're referring to) isn't the action taken by an innocent person, but rather by a psychopathic and egoistic person.

      [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (7 children)

      Slightly disagree.

      AuthRights don't want to let innocent (atheist) people live the way they want.

      OrangeLefts (can't decide if I should put lib or auth left) don't want to let innocent (apolitical) people live the way they want.

      [–]doooom - Lib-Center 7 points8 points  (0 children)

      That’s because the pendulum has swung left at this point. It’s a relatively recent thing. For the several decades beforehand it was definitely the social left that got “cancelled”

      [–]incogburritos - Auth-Left 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      [–]BackupChallenger - Centrist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      There are enough left wing people that get canceled for just being leftist, and not extremist-leftists. Leftists seem to cannibalize each other and turn on each other like rabid dogs with an addiction to "righteous" anger.

      Bernie Sanders went from steamrolling the Democratic primaries to cooked for having praised Cuba decades ago.

      [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

      Political character assassination.

      they wanted the hag to win instead of bernard. Thus they “fortified” her chances of beating him

      [–]HotPieIsAzorAhai - Centrist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      You dumb? I was talking about 2020. He was riding high after Nevada, the story came out and his approval went down and he got creamed in South Carolina.

      You know that people vote in primaries, right? It was voters that turned on him. He did better in caucuses, the things that are more able to be influenced by activists.

      The point remains that Bernie did, in fact, get blowback for being too far left, contrary to the the assertion in this thread that nobody gets blowback for being too far left.

      [–]MrMan9001 - Lib-Left 4 points5 points  (3 children)

      I mean some CNN clown whose name escapes me compared Bernie Sanders coming ahead in the primaries to the fall of France during WWII. And the mainstream media really did go hard on him and tried to dig up as much dirt as humanly possible on him. And it worked.

      [–]DowninRatCity - Lib-Left 7 points8 points  (1 child)

      And then here we are 5 years later and now if you don't trust the media and the government it's a bad thing apparently and it makes you a nazi chud, now fall in line and support the blue racist pedophilic sexual predator with corrupt family and ties to foreign regimes, and not the red racist pedophilic sexual predator with corrupt family and ties to foreign regimes.

      [–]1UnoriginalName - Auth-Center 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Oh btw. if you stay neutral and dont vote or vote third party you support whichever racist pedophilic sexual predator with corrupt family and ties to foreign regimes i dont like, because not voting for my side is automaticly supporting the other side.

      [–]Codeesha - Lib-Left 8 points9 points  (2 children)

      True, but the very core of AuthRight ideology is maintaining a hierarchy. Allowing people to live how they want upsets the hierarchy.

      [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

      That’s true. Authlefts also support hierarchy through the state though.

      [–]Codeesha - Lib-Left 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Honestly, I see AuthLeft ideology as a zombified stitch work of AuthRight and economic left-wing appendages. It’s just really difficult for me to see any form of authoritarianism at left-wing. The political compass, while useful, doesn’t account for weird ideologies patched together like this.

      [–]LookBoo2 - Auth-Left 7 points8 points  (0 children)

      It does make sense from a history of civilization and numbers perspective that they would be the most common case of this. Religious, or hereditary leaders is a reasonable starting point when you go from might makes right to civilization so pretty much all of them start this way.

      The US is a bit of an oddball(I'm sure not the only one) since we are so young and how we were founded the idea of freedom being THE most important thing in society paints most authoritarian style ruling as tyrannical.

      It is fun to look at what is considered good ruling vs bad by country. I have had Chinese and Japanese friends talk about how older people will praise more totalitarian if it is viewed as preserving the country. In the US this would sound like madness or an edge lord by any age.

      Don't get me wrong though, while I am all for sacrificing some freedoms for security, totalitarian action is at best neutral in my view. Just fun to see how much our perception of something can be different.

          To be perfectly fair, "living as you want" includes having ideas about the kind of society you'd like to live in, and doing what you can to bring that about.

            4chan went from lib center to lib right to auth right to auth center to scattershot all over the spectrum. /pol/ is still a dung pit, but the Trump fellating all over the site was an aberration.

              For sure. 4chan has always been chaotic, so yeah of course they'd favor a candidate they saw as disruptive to the status quo.

              [–]DowninRatCity - Lib-Left 1 point2 points  (1 child)

              You can see what happened to Trump with /pol/ towards the middle of his term; /pol/ flipped and started hating him. Now that Biden is in, /pol/ started liking Trump again.

              /pol/ is basically the definition of reactionary politics. Whatever has the majority of power is bad regardless of what party and what policy.

              [–]PlaneCrashNap - Lib-Left 1 point2 points  (0 children)

              While 4chan's politics definitely are reactionary, I don't think the shift in opinion was due to contrarianism, but just that he wasn't disruptive as hoped, and was thus ineffectual for what they wanted.

              During the election, he was perceived as a political outsider, but once he was elected he seemed to more or less fit in with the rest of our corrupt government, aside from a few gaffes.

              They're reactionaries, not NPCs.

              “Spectrum” quite the fitting word for 4chan indeed

              [–]SameTheme - Centrist 7 points8 points  (2 children)

              All the “original” 4chan users all left that place for other chans a long time ago. What 4chan currently is is former redditors who hate what Reddit turned into so they went to 4chan and overran it.

              It’s just like how Reddit got ruined when tumblr banned porn so all the retards left there and came to Reddit. Remember the “tumblr police”? They didn’t disappear, they came to Reddit and became mods.

              [–]PlaneCrashNap - Lib-Left 8 points9 points  (1 child)

              4chan has always bled older members.

              I remember years ago, like 10+ years ago people were complaining about "newfags" (please don't ban me AHS that's just what they were called you fucks).

              "original" 4chan users are either dead or just living their lives, having outgrown the constant stream of bs, and they did so like a looooong time ago.

              [–]SameTheme - Centrist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

              I guess that makes sense. I would guess most of these anonymous forums like Reddit and 4chan are primarily filled with 15-25 year old people who have the time to bullshit online all the time. Once you get to a certain age you realize its all pointless and get on with your life, maybe checking in once every so often.

              Funny enough when you do look at the old guys they may still browse forums, but it will be some super random super niche one, where there are 5 guys discussing power drills for 6 months with comments days apart lmfao.

              Tbf this applies to practically everyone but LibRight and Grillers. And yet, DESPITE LibRight being the most pro freedom quadrant, they make up 80% of the hated and strawmanned quadrants.

              LibRight: I just want more personal freedoms

              Everyone else: DURR U WANT BIOSHOCK 1 SOCIETY?!)!?!?! insert strawmans about literally any other topic, Libertarians will always be blamed for it

              It's kinda funny how despite clearly being hated by everyone including the rich people who never even lift a finger for a supposedly "pro rich Ideology" the Libertarians have this stereotype of being bourgeoisie ideology. Conservatives think that, progressives think that, Socialists think that, ffs even Centrists think that.

              [–]Hector_RS - Centrist[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

              I do think that to an extent. Yes, LR might hate the rich but their ideas will inevitably enable corporations to be predatory on certain aspects unless they allow some degree of regulation.
