Lobotomized, actually

Progressives need to accept that they actually don't have all the answers to everything and that building adequate systems of social security take a lot of effort and time to mature and that is a part of the process that needs to be accepted radically.

I am 100% supportive of people using the pronouns of their choice.

 

But making up pronouns that are not even in the English language (xe, xir, ze, zir) and expecting people to use them is kinda silly imo.

I'm not sure if counts as right-wing but I strongly oppose to extremely poor people having chilren born into poverty. You know the types that have 4-5 children that they clearly cannnot support making life a living hell for these innocent beings 

 

Whenever you express that opinion, you get accused of promoting classism and eugenics smh...

I don't think most people should be parents tbh, left or right wing

 

Even with the right income and resources most parents are shitty people

 

There are very few people prepared emotionally and financially to raise kids

 

Its a massive sacrifice, its like being a nurse 24/7 most people are just not capable.

 

There should be psychological and financial analysis on someone who can have kids.

 

This is not a right-wing take just a take that most people should understand

The whole non binary they/them etc

I mean... does your solution involve providing housing and income and child care to those poor people? Cause otherwise... yeah it would come across as classism and eugenics.

Technically, I never said anything about a solution. I was only sharing an opinion.

A lot of social media activists lack critical thinking skills and eagerly latch onto trending topics to appear engaged. A large portion of them are self-serving narcissists who thrive on performative activism, it's all about that dopamine hit they get from the attention rather than genuine impact

I'm not American but I vote for a corrupt politician because he helped me get a scholarship grant.

 

 

He got kicked out of his original party cause he was taking bribes off companies for planning permission & mobile network contacts but he also fast tracked my dads planning permission so… can't complain much

 

Oh well you scratch my back I scratch yours & planning permission laws are outrageous here.

Higher education has a left-wing elitist problem and is out of touch with most communities and societal issues. I'm not sure how right-wing this opinion is though because I think the main solution is to simply reform higher education, whereas most conservatives want to dismantle it entirely.

Okay but your "opinion" by definition begs you to have a solution in mind, you can't abhor poor people having children while also offering no reasonable alternatives. And since apart from birth control access/education you can't stop people from having kids, what do you expect to happen?

But housing and child care are not readily available. Like yes, this is a failure of government but like, are we just going to ignore that government IRL has failed? Are we supposed to bury our heads in the sand and keep popping out 10 kids while waiting to see if the government chooses to do something about housing and childcare?

My right-wing opinion: I don't vibe or mess with Neopronouns. Also can White trans people stop choosing East-Asian names as they new name.

[Antisocialites]

not necessarily right-wing but one thing I hate from the modern leftist American feminism movement is the celebration of prostitution and sex work.

 

1. sex work shouldn't be celebrated in any way. not even "safe" sex work (spoiler: that doesn't actually exist)

2. labeling yourself as feminist while also being pro-prostitution is disgusting and makes you an awful leftist. you are fighting for the wrong feminism, the one that forgets about class and race.

3. every man who engages in sex work as a client is a r*pist.

4. conveniently using "My body, my choice" as an argument to defend prostitution is revolting.

[bad guy]

When it comes to mass murderers, child predators/rapists, or really anyone that sexually abuses children I think the death penalty is necessary. I know it's very very fringe but I've seen some online try and victimize these people and even go so far as to try and move away from the word p*dophile. There is no rehabilitation for this. Even if they don't act on it, they should be jailed/institutionalized. Like I fully believe you don't deserve to live within our society and you are an imminent threat. So possession of CP should be immediate life in prison (or death idrc). The idea that there are statutes of limitations on sex crimes or sentences under 40 years is so beyond horrific. Rape should also be tried like murder (I think it's worse than murder but that's another convo).

 

I also don't think isolationism militarily (or aspects of nationalism) is that bad of a thing.

The problem is exploitation, which doesn't come from the nature of selling hole but from the often desperate and/or precarious situations it arises from. It is possible to have a sex work job without being damaged or exploited so I don't think this take holds up.

 

Also male sex work is totally a thing.

Liberals and progressives (not just "Democrats" TM) fall into the exact same traps that conservatives and fascists do when it comes to critique and political discussion. The hypocrisy on both sides of the fence is astounding.

[Digitalism]

Eventhough I'm mostly leftist I think that the ways people've tried to convey their ideas has failed and has pushed the majority of the general public away instead of bringing them in. 

I think they applied techniques from the 60s and 70s that didn't make sense in the 2010s because societies were totally different and it just generated a lot of  the violence we see today. 

Now it's too late tho both sides just became increasingly violent and extreme.

While I get the point you're trying to make, you shouldn't be labeling every sex worker as a survivor of r*pe. That's not your place. I don't think many vocal porn stars, for example Mr. Kristofer Weston (who is an outspoken porn actor/director as both a top and a bottom), would agree with you.

I actually agree

 

Feminism was originally intended to give women equal rights on voting, job market, and human rights/freedom

 

I never understood why feminism got mixed with prostitution that is basically exploitation of your own body

 

Prostitution and promiscuity are basically mental/physical illnesses, there is not a reality where it's good for anyone. Having sex with too many people is not good for any human body/mental state.

Oh wow

 

I agree that sex work has been desensitized and way too normalized tbh but the rest of the points are a bit much.
