I think you must be pretty young and unaware of how things use to be not long ago. I've always been a libertarian and never a part of the left/right paradigm. You go back 10-20 years or more and outside of the economic side of things there was a good deal of comparability with the so-called left. At the time, the left was anti-war, anti-drugwar, anti-bigotry and a very much a live and let live kind of attitude. Clearly that is no longer the case and now the right has more of a live and let live attitude.

With that said, the opinions you have been voicing are definitely leaning away from that "live and let live" attitude and are a lot more like the bigoted "socially conservative" views that the right use to be known for.

I have to agree with JasonCarswell. That attitude is definitely not productive and while the flavor is a little different, the results are not any different than what the antifa types are spitting out.

The SJWs want me dead so i'm sorry for not being kind to the "rational" left that gleefully accept the SJW terrorism of death.

The thing you don't understand is that they only said they were anti-war and live and let live. They never meant it. How do I know? Because I used to believe their lies but I also remember clearly how I was always afraid of voicing my opinion around leftists. Now I know why.

I definitely understood that. In the same way I understood that "republicans" weren't really economically liberal. But there is a leaning that can be used with both parties. The truth is that most people are more idealistic in their heads than they are with their actions. That can be used. Don't forget that they are sheep. Be a better shepherd.

I am a better shepherd. By rejecting them, some of them might start appealing to logic and facts which I will also reject and then they might start appealing to white interests to which they will also be rejected. They will never be accepted but they will try and that's what matters.

Few want to accept rejection. Even if there is no forgiveness to be found at the other end.
