    In Europe, Linus is probably right of centre. Just let anyone do whatever except walk around with a gazillion firearms because that’s just insane.

      nah even in Europe being trans friendly makes you at least left leaning

      we’re not many miles ahead in the societal run towards progress and acceptance, the US is just sprinting the wrong way

        You don’t even have to be trans friendly. He never said he was friendly. You can just not care about what other people do with their lives.

        In Europe being trans friendly has fuck-all to do with your political leanings on the left-right axis. It’s just USA warping the political discourse with their literally one-dimensional politics.

        LGBT has always been a target.

        The “good guys” still (chemically) castrated one of their greatest minds that won the war for ten, just because he happened to like dicks.

        Theres a reason people wanted to reduce the victims of the Holocaust to just being Jewish and ignored all the other groups that both sides wanted to persacute.

        They did the same thing this time, target LGBT to build the movement and are now expanded to other groups.

        Hopefully everyone stands up while we still have the numbers, otherwise they’ll keep chipping away fringe groups.

        Nah it really depends.

        While the right tends to be religious and does not really approve anything LGBTQ-related, they’ve learned to behave and to mind their own business, which is actually fine. Respect other people, even if you don’t agree with them and as long as nobody’s getting hurt, we can all live happy lives.

        This new wave of “America-style” extreme right lunatics though, that’s a different story. Those entitled fuckers feel they’re allowed to mess with other people’s lives, and they’re due a harsh lesson in civility.

        What the Americans call libertarians have some minority representation in Europe and they’re tolerant of minorities. Not as good as leftists but better than conservatives.

          The driving force behind Libertarianism is that the state shouldn’t be able to tell you not to fuck kids. That’s not a popular position, even in Europe.

        It’s pretty hard to make an accurate blanket statement about what the US believes any more. There really are two very different Americas, and the evil one is in power.

            Most of America IS working class, so that’s not true. Neither political party represents the people well, that’s certainly true, although one does so even worse than the other.

            True if we’re talking about the divide in the uniparty, though id say the real divide in America is between the wealthy/ruling class (and the sycophants they use their wealth to indoctrinate), and the working class.
