Most of my friends are not very political. We love to rant about world politics and I think that is something that unites most of the political spectrum (left, right, anarchos); we all hate our current system.
Lately I found it harder and harder to talk with many people on the left. There is a lot of "let me show you scientifically why you are morally not allowed to do that". The german debate on race I had would be a perfect example for that. I think me and @jaki01 share a lot of values, but he was against using any racial term (like caucasian) because it is not scientifically correct to divide humans into any subgroup based on their appearance.
I think people are different, people live in different cultures and yes, men and women are different. I like these differences. Different is refreshing, how boring would the world be if we are all the same?
Now I am still a lefty, because I don't want a hostile society, I want a social one. And I am not a huge fan of the typical non-arguments of the right, see @everittdmickey comment :D. But we lost so much humor and try to defend old bastions that are obviously corrupted like global warming and 3rd wave feminism. I remember when we lefties had so many witty jokes, but I feel that time is long gone.
hereBtw my latest start-hostile end-as-friends conversations with right-wingers (at least I believe they are) would be @sirknight on Steemit and Rainer7777 on youtube
Talking controversial is something I already loved in school. I dont see why I should hate somebody for disagreeing in politics. Well unless the way he argues is far from good or bad. Not the content makes me mad, but silly rhetoric methods.
Interesting - thanks for the perspective :)
My relation to politics is rather unique, I am socialist that believes in equal treatment and social safety, but I like to keep our borders and culture, so I am somewhat of a nationalist as well. Does that make me a Nazi? :D
No. I don't think anyone understands the true meaning of what a Nazi was. It's used far too lightly nowadays. I expect you do though, being German :)
well, actually national socialism is exactly what I stand for. It got nothing to do with killing jews, hating other races or going to war on everything around you. Hitler and others used and abused this political movement and historians started to equal the terms 'national sozialism' = 'what Germany did in 1933-45'.
Essentially Nazi is just a slur used towards very conservative or people who actually think they are genetically superior to other races.
The original meaning of Nazi (Nationalsozialismus) does just mean socialism without international aspirations.
