I hate authoritarians, not left or right.
So long as your policies leave me alone and don't touch my stuff, I don't really care

it's the basis of property rights. First, leave me alone, then we can talk
Property rights? Like in the USA where rich people can use Eminent Domain laws to seize the property of poor people.
Because the only real property rights you have, are those you can defend yourself.
Rich people can afford to defend their property rights and, they take your property away from you whenever they want.
Poor people with a mortgage, family, bills to pay, have zero property rights in the USA and there's any number of government departments, banks, and billionaires like Donald Trump that can and will take your property from you if they want it. Eminent Domain laws extinguish any property rights you think you have.
Are they the sort of property rights you speak of? Your government, left or right, doesn't give a shit about your property rights because you don't have any.
Like local government taking the homes of working-class people to make room for big-box stores, corporate headquarters, or luxury condos.
“Eminent domain is an absolute necessity for a country,” Without it, you wouldn't have roads, you wouldn't have hospitals, you wouldn't have anything.” -- Donald Trump
Donald Trump used Eminent Domain laws to seize an old lady's home so he could build a carpark for limousines.
has someone built a carpark on your Bitcoin ?
The right is the oppostite of authoritarian. The right is leave everyone alone and very little government.
Lmfao, I guess the last 20 years of middle eastern wars and biggest deficit ever by trump don't count or something?
Don't fall for the the rhetoric that Repulicans are somehow in the right side of the political spectrum. They're not in the middle either. They're leftists.
They prayed to a genderless pagan deity at the RNC, and had a porn star speak. Milania said they accept homos and transvestites. Plus all the stuff you pointed out.
So the right doesn't allow the gays, what about Muslims can they be part of the right?
first they came for whoever but I didn't care
Ideologies are generally mixed and it's difficult to frame them in a greater or lesser state… if I have to get wet: the left (roughly speaking) I think demands more state than the right… with its exceptions like everything else
Hard to leave people around when the whole concept is collectivism to one degree or another.
Not to say the right is all angels, of course. But any kind of left-wing politics is gonna come with coercing a fair share™ of other people's money out of their pockets.
I just don't see how it could ever be compatible with leaving people alone.
I think probably on social issues, like I dunno gay marriage, more immigration, environmental protections, smaller military etc - generally leaves everyone alone
And plenty of right wing ideas have been opposite of that, like the draft
I as far as I can tell both sides spend shitloads of our money, one side on collectivist ideas, the other on crony capitalism and military
We never get the Ron Paul's sadly
True, I didn't mean to imply all LH ideas are crap and all RH ones (although I would dispute the notion that crony capitalism and the military-industrial complex are not RH ideas in the slightest, even though a certain party that advertises itself as more RH from a certain country we all know tends to be the one pushing such ideas forward.
100% with you on Ron Paul.
