left-wing ideas don't mean anything without an instantiation of them in the real world. It's clear what kind of cancer has infected the left everywhere, at least in the first world, and that's what it means to be a leftist in current year.

I was kind of hopeful for Podemos in Spain but they proposed a censorship law with the excuse of "protect the gay" not long ago. If not even the Mediterranean countries are safe from this cancerous plague I don't have any faith in the left being the correct horse to bet on at this point.

Ben Shapiro is not conservative, he is a Israeli nationalist, he parrots "conservative" talking points because conservative are the only people dumb enough to genuinely support Israel in the U.S. If that kind of support came from commies or Afrocentrists instead, you'd have him talking about the marvels of dialectical materialism or how black people were kings and queens in Ancient Egypt instead.

>> No.9620485

>>9620462
You think much too highly of conservatism. Ben Shapiro can do all those things and still be conservative by American standards because conservatism in America is just the idiot clone of progressivism in America. Its purpose is to say "Let's stop here and go no further" and not bother protesting when it's dragged further forward by liberalism after a quick breather. It isn't to say "No, this is the wrong direction; we need to go back and take a different path" and then separate from liberalism to go back the way it came. That's what fascism amounts to. Ben Shapiro is no fascist, but he is by all means conservative.

>conservatism in America is just the idiot clone of progressivism in America.

Yeah the group of people who support constitutional originalism and small government policy are just like the people who support the exact opposite, the living constitution and more government involvement. I know it's kind of a fad these days to conflate two diametrically opposed groups of people (both sides have extremists liberals and conservatives are the same har har) because it makes them feel smarter. It's the classic centrist stereotype of a person who thinks every else is stupid for having opinions. You ought to take some time and learn why people believe the things they do, you'll find that even when you disagree they're not as irrational as you think.

I'm not espousing horseshoe theory or equating them, but if you don't see that Republicans and Democrats in government cooperate to keep the government running then you're not even worth talking to. I'm sorry but you must have misread my post. Either that or you're just retarded. Nowhere do I equate progressives and conservatives. I'm sorry that you don't know the true meaning of the word 'liberal.'

Ahh, Ben shapiro. The guy who talked for 10 minutes about how the song "Imagine" is liberal garbage Kumbaya bullshit.
Had he actually read the title of the song - and let it register in his genius-level brain - he would've realized that it is called "imagine".

It is a bullshit hippie song. What does that fact that the lyrics say imagine have to do with anything? Imagine all Jews were locked into camps, it's easy if you try. No more wars for oil blah blah blah. The fact that I implored you to to simply "imagine" doesn't change the anti-semitic message of my statements. Likewise, the fact that Lennon is imploring us to "imagine" a world without religion and borders doesn't alter the anti-religious globalist meaning of the song.

A reliable way to tell if a writer is a leftist hack is to see if they've recently won any awards or prices for their writing. Every single committee behind these prizes are partisan hacks who vote based on politics.

I might have disagreed with you not too long ago, but after looking through a lot of winners for fiction competitions/awards recently, I found that they were all pushing some leftist agenda and written in the same uninspired blogpost style. I could genuinely not tell the authors apart, and if you laid them all out on a table I might be inclined to think that they were all written by the same person.
