It should be a nice challenge for you. How are you going to solve Afghanistan? has a long, complicated history, with many parties from different political ideologies ruining the nation.
The US was trying to “solve” Afghanistan through violent means which not only have failed for 20 years, but the conflict of today has been stoked even earlier by the US financing the current terrorists and calling them “anti-Soviet freedom fighters”. So no, a right wing answer to the conflict has been proven by history to be utterly idiotic and only beneficial to american capital.
You just gave me a new one: “people who refer to someone’s political opinion as “evil” just because they don’t personally agree”. It’s not like we’re discussing Nazis here man.
I hate this cowardly bullshit right wingers use to make themselves feel oppressed. If I say you’re a wretched animal who doesn’t deserve human dignity, and you say I’m wrong, I could point it right back at you. Fuck off with that. What are the disagreements? This isnt a water cooler talk about a TV show, this is the life, suffering and death of millions. Yeah I don’t personally agree that the poor and hungry should die on the street while rich fucks hoard houses, and if you think otherwise, I’m completely comfortable calling you evil, because you are.
It’s that their ‘opinions’ are of who should or should not have rights, for me. And the fiscally conservatives who are the exact same thing but with extra steps.
If you choose a perspective that outwardly chooses to harm people, and you are not of low intellect, then you are simply choosing to harm people. That is evil. Choosing to bring harm to people over other alternatives is wrong, bad, and as an ideology, evil.
The face of right-wing politics is wedge issues and conspiracy theories. It’s not as if people are being judged for believing in a smart conservative fiscal policy because that is no longer something the modern Republican party represents.
Yeah, no it’s pretty fair assessment of the party. You as an individual may have different beliefs, but your differing beliefs don’t represent the party and their rhetoric.
FFS the ex president convinced a mob of people that the election was rigged and they stormed the Capitol Building looking to capture/kill the legislators who were confirming the results. If a republican president of the United States doesn’t represent the republican party then who does?
You can probably actually do this reliably in cases where those political views work against the persons interests. It’s not like people voting against their own interests is an uncommon phenomenon.
It’s very possible to vote against your own interests for the good of society though- a billionaire might vote to increase taxes on himself, for example.
One of the many issues with the majority of right-wing voters in the US is that the votes they cast are against both their best interests and the interests of society, and that’s what makes them evil and/or stupid.
I don’t disagree with you. I’m not trying to say that voting against ones own interests establishes a necessary connection with low intelligence or that people can’t vote against their own interests for other reasons fwiw. I’m mainly meaning to point out how we might be justified regardless of actual political positions today in trying to assess intelligence via political leanings and/or voting choices.

People judging people’s level of intelligence based on how they lean politically, for me.

So the same could be said about the left-wing ideology because it “consists” of Leninism? How is this making any sort of sense to you?

Don’t bother arguing with them, they’re from sh.itjust.works. Probably a right-wing douche.
I wish users had the ability to block instances without asking it of the instance admins ^^
Thank you for making lemmy just as bad as reddit. Jfc, I joined sh.itjust.works because it’s Canadian
Well said! Although I doubt the the guy has enough critical thinking to understand what you’re saying.
Leninism is good, actually.
Come to Lemmygrad, we can teach you a thing or too. Just adhere to the rules.

Now I know why you don’t have any friends. People aren’t low iq or evil just because they have a different opinion man.

Oh, American Conservatives.
Americans, pleeeeease, say if it’s America or not before making such statements.

The irony.
What’s the irony here?
