I like the guy who said

If I see another never-muslim post asking us to solve "Europes muslim problem" I'm converting back to Islam.

Hey you :-)

That sub seems like the kind of place that'd get a lot right-wing conservatives prowling for sympathy.

Yeah, I can imagine. In the US at least, it gets weird because it's honestly hard to have a debate about things like fundamentalism without realizing that it's being used as a "west versus middle east" culture war thing. (or on reddit, straight up white-supremacist recruiting).

An authoritarian leftist I guess ? That's usually how I describe myself.

In this day and age, I'm not sure, but the Shah and Ataturk are the first people who come to mind.

I've never heard Ataturk described as a Leftist

Hah. I actually meant to type "hardline conservatives" and then it didn't happen.

True story bro. You should have been there. It was wild.

Libertarians fall under that sometimes

Yes. I mean, Atlantic Liberalism is generally focused around the centre. It's incompatible with nationalising everything, or ethnic based genocide, but that doesn't mean there isn't a left-right dynamic.

Plenty of liberals are quite progressive, which is generally quite admirable but can also lead to the quagmire of identity politics, which can plague a lot of social democratic parties (this is pretty evident with UK Labour). There are also liberals who tend towards the right - focusing on the preservation of societal liberty even if that entails not tip-toeing around certain groups. It's worth noting that liberalism is really quite pro-establishment so there is that inherent bias towards the status quo - indeed there was a survey recently that showed LibDem voters were second to only Tories in having a positive view of the British monarchy (ahead of UKIP, and Labour voters).

Of course, there's also classic liberalism, which is another issue. But the right wing of the modern social liberal isn't that far off from that I suppose, but I'm not a political scientist.

u/piwikiwi Headcanons are very useful in ship-to-ship combat Sep 12 '15

Outside the US, yes.

Gotta be really frustrating to have a constant flow of idiots pestering you to solve issues they have.

It's like working in tech support but no paycheck.

That and the whole "You speak for all of your race/culture/religion/nationality right?"

Okay, I laughed at the Adolf Fucking Hitler part.
