    Ok, I've got my hand up.. When I take it down, you guys take a run at each other!

    Iiiiin the left corner... We've got the LGBT, gender fluid, immigrant loving, Trump hating, Pro-Choice, Socialists

    Aaaand in the right corner... We've got the trans-skeptical, anti-immigrant, Trump supporting, Pro-life, Traveller hating, Capitalists..

    If we can condense this all into one thread it'd make Boards a lot more readable for those of us who have a slightly nuanced view of everthing.


    Arm descends.. Let's go! Royal rumble!

    This is Ireland, not America.

    Just in case you weren't sure.

    appropriate regulation is required, but we must acknowledge the major benefits free markets have brought to our societies, including our own

    So a right wing liberal then?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Didn't realise views on sexuality and economics were intertwined. At all.

    i know that, but im not a righty, im a lefty, capitalism has been an incredible creation, but we have potentially created one of the most dangerous forms of it in the form of neoliberalism/neoclassical

    Itwas suposed to be a 1000 people a side royal rumble

    500 right wingers didn’t show up because they were in work
    200 on the left didn’t show up because their ma wouldnt give them a lift
    41% of the trans lefties have scored an own goal and ended themselves before it began
    200 on the right are in prison for reposting things peter casey said on facebook
    The left has fractured into 10 groups over disagreements about trannys being able to ride lesbians
    A few of the remaining right have had their butler fight in their place
    Approximately 50 of the left have refused to fight and started a weed smoking drum circle
    Some on the right are threatening their dad will sue you
    More lefties have stopped to pull themselves off seeing greta thunburg say alarmist things
    Only 10 fighters remain on each side
    Let battle commence.

    They are if you spend your life immersed in fringe American political websites. Otherwise, you know, whatever you're having yourself.

    These sides don’t make much sense, am I a right wing lefty or a left wing righty? What if I like guns and capitalism but am pro choice and anti idiot? What if I am for small business but against drug monopolies?
