Nah, not really. But I can understand how from the warped perspective of the US right wing, where anything less than having wet dreams about guns ejaculating into your mouth makes you a communist, I may seem like one... Heck, in this very thread I've been called a conservative lol.
Don't worry, you have zero risk of me ever thinking you're a conservative.
I consider myself right of center. Though it really depends on the issue. To me it's plainly absurd that the vaccine situation in the US has been split pretty much in partisan lines because.... bill gates is putting chips in it? It's not really a left-right thing to begin with.
You're right about one thing - it shouldn't be considered a political issue.
Oh, well, if you insist.
For most people, yeah. For other people, potentially dying from covid is worth it for an opportunity to own the libs. It's these people that need to be protected from themselves. And we need to be protected from them.Jubei_Kibagami said:
Coercing citizens to contribute to the greater good isn't fascistic. Forcing them to, is. Fascism is a combination of hyper authoritarianism and hyper nationalism. "Do this because I'm the authority, and I say this is right for the country" is a smidge different from "Do this because you're a threat to society and we're not gonna let you put other people in danger."
Yawn. I've acknowledged that too and called them out on it, but the right is the absolute worst and make it clear that they only believe in freedom of speech and choice if they agree with it. No matter how bigoted or dangerous it is, they'll support something, but if it's something they disagree with, no matter how correct or polite, they'll want the person's life ruined.
As it turns out, everyone in the US that attends Elementary School, joins the military, or travels to certain places of the world are victims of "medical tyranny"

This is something that baffles me about Christianity at the US (though it has also migrated to other places by now). How do guns fit into a Christian home? I grew up with christianity being the "turn the other cheek" religion. I don't understand how you can reconcile being a christian with the fetishisms of guns seen in that, ugh, family picture. Going a bit further, how does it make sense to basically build your identity around guns, regardless of whether you are a christian or not? It's.... a weird mix of sad and pathetic.
Jeez, white republicans are truly the scum of the earth, most of them are definitely going to hellAs it turns out, everyone in the US that attends Elementary School, joins the military, or travels to certain places of the world are victims of "medical tyranny"

New heartless conservative inbreds just dropped
Even if you're the staunchest 2A supporter, seeming as reasonable and considerate as possible just isn't as important as your God given right to the Yuletide triggering of victims of yet another school shooting. Much less doing it as a sitting member of congress. Merry Fuckyou-mas!
Don't they do that, usually?

Somehow, they've able to convince people that guns are a god-given right despite guns not having existed for thousands of years
It's some bastardized implementation of a frontiersman outlook or a relic of manifest destiny. That plus the legit utilitarian aspect of owning a gun, especially in more remote, rural places. Then there's the whole mania created by the NRA, The desperate hunger some Conservatives have for being considered oppressed, and you get photos like that one.

I mean, as much as I am for gun control I do consider rural areas a exemption to that given law enforcement's at least longer response times. But... Even within that a gun would be just a tool. And barring you going out looking for trouble like a jackass easily the least used one... let alone it being one you shouldn't even want to use at all.
If I remember correctly they paid it off early with an early payment penalty. Granted startups might need these kind of things to get going but big oil aren't start-ups? So not exactly apples to apples comparison.
