Which political ideology do you most identify with?
I have seen my fair share, yes. It's what happens when you're right all the time, not that I expect…
lol it was a low-effort mocking joke in response to a low-effort ad hominem counter...I didn't realize we were supposed to be taking these last few comments seriously? You are the one who responded with "well you're the stupid expert here, not me" to a simple counter-argument against an anti-democratic claim. Don't act like I started this.
Also, it's pretty ironic for you to insist that you have an open-mind, after literally calling me a "stupid expert" for calling out a flaw in a centuries-old argument twisted to be against democratic decision-making. Odd, if you ask me. And according to your logic, since I used to be far-right but now I'm far-left, that makes me inherently open-minded as well.

Or it makes you susceptible to propaganda
@VulcanMan6 4mos4MO
Everyone is susceptible to propaganda, we are all just more susceptible to the kinds of ideas that we already believe in. I am more likely to fall for leftist propaganda because I have leftist beliefs, and you are more likely to fall for far-right propaganda because you have far-right beliefs. It's literally just called confirmation bias, and we all do it, whether unconsciously or not. The only way to differentiate is with supporting evidence and/or reasoning.
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
Never before has that been better described.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
My beliefs are not "far-right" but in fact align with classical liberalism, a form of libertarianism.
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
And it’s just that: classical. Not with the values of the majority of the population, or even most people out there today. When the world creates new rights, abilities, and freedoms, those who hold to the liberal ideas of the past become conservatives because they moved in a different direction. Is moving bad? Not necessarily, and this is one of the times it’s good.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
I sure hate to say it for the one millionth time, but you're using the question begging fallacy AGAIN.
