Why is /new/ more conservative, and why is /sci/ more liberal?

>> No.1721891

Racist dumbfuck or apathetic virgin.

Take your pick.

>> No.1721901

Because /sci/ is full of trolls.

Reality has a well known liberal bias.

>> No.1721906

Conservatives are more interested in current events because they fear change.

>> No.1721909

>>1721903
No it doesn't.

Reality has a reality bias. It's just that liberals are able to accept reality unlike conservatives which stick to ancient fairy tales.

>> No.1721927

>>1721909
Conservatives weren't always so stupid.

It really only happened when they started pandering for religious votes.

>> No.1721962

>>1721927

Exactly. Basically you've got the far right, and the centre left constantly accused of being communists. The centre right is just nonexistent in the US at least.

>> No.1721968

>>1721927
And then real conservatives became libertarians, but nobody takes them seriously.

Actually, there aren't any political groups I take seriously.

>> No.1721971

The republican party got hijacked by neocons, not real conservatives.

Who cares.

They don't have power either way

If by "liberal", you mean the perversion of the word that now means "socialist", then... no.

they don't fear change, they fucking hate it. There is a difference.

Well I went there once a few months ago.

Never again.

The Liberals there are retarded as any other political group.

Liberals there actually believed they were classical liberals and not modern liberals.

Real socialists hate liberals, though.

social liberal =/= economic liberal
social conservative =/= economic conservative
social socialist =/= economic socialist

scientists should stay the hell away from politics. The last scientist to run a country was the one who laid the foundations of the current tabloid-propaganda controlled, oligarxhist, neo-totalitarian state.

Nah. Here our right-wing parties are more left-wing than your Democrats.

Ironically, for conservatives,
economics= laissez-faire, social system= regulations

for liberals, economics= regulations, social system= laissez-faire

why can't supporters of "small government" stay away from my weed, I ain't hurting anyone...

socialism is the only way for the planet to continue sustainably, and ensure that no human is allowed to suffer simply to feed another's desire for ever less necessary luxury.
