Lib here, ask your questions

I'm really struggling to see your side of things. I think the divide is getting wider. So as an experiment to try to understand better, I've come here to answer your questions if you care to actually find out what's on the other side (as opposed to pointing and hating without understanding like a fkn monkey.)

Short profile: I consider myself a centrist, but by your standards I'm certainly a liberal. ~135 IQ, make about 100k a year, own a small business. I pay higher taxes than the average family. Live happily in a big house in a quiet burb of a large northern city. I'm also way more informed about history and politics than the average person. 7 years of college. Where I'm from most people are also wealthy liberals, who also live happily in big houses and hate the current administration.

So, ask something serious. Why do libs do or think...

>Where I'm from most people are also wealthy liberals, who also live happily in big houses
If I was surrounded by upper class white people I would probably be a liberal too.

Why do you support muslims when they hate basically everything you stand for?

I think the problem is that we plebs don't like your upper middle class dumb ass with a college degree larping on how we are evil people. You think your world view and your experience is the experience we all share and it's not, when you make these affirmative action policies and b.s. like that we have to bear the brunt while you live in your priveledged gated community

Sage, amirite guys?

Re: Muslims
Freedom of religion. I think hardcore christians are fkn insane, but you have the right to believe whatever you want as long as you don't hurt anyone. Same with Jews, Muslims. Remember: land of the free. It means something.

Why do you hate us folks in the white working class and want to see us demographically replaced?

Have you ever actually read Atlas Shrugged?

RE: Lower class are evil people
We think you vote against your own interests, like constantly electing Replublicans that have a perfect track record of reducing taxes on the rich (and mine, upper middle) and taking away your entitlements. I have no issues paying for insurance, whatever happens, so when I fight to keep the ACA I'm fighting to make sure you have insurance too, because I believe we ALL should get medical care.

How is the redistribution of wealth morally acceptable?

Did your professors in college have a liberal bias? Do you think this has effected your own political viewpoints?

If you were to recommend a political book to somone on the right, what would it be?

Why do you want the government to regulate everything when they consistently fuck things up?

Have you ever spent any time in a poor community, could be living or volunteering? Or has your only expierence with blacks been at your cushy college?

RE: Hate white working class
No hate for any particular group, it is more of a live and let live mentality. When you start attacking other groups you paint a target on your own backs. Same with blacks, when they start talking shit about the whites this and that, they get the same treatment.

Anger and resentment comes when one side tries to impose on the other. Same as you don't like rich liberals dictating policy, we don't want cheap low-entitlement policies dictated our way.

RE: whites demographically replaced
All races are going to get blended over time. No 2 ways about it. 100 years ago it was whites against the Irish, Italians, and now they are integrated and nobody bats an eye. Same with other races today.

Do you think rent control works, and why?

Radical Islam infringes on others right to life. Hardcore Christians aren't a comparison. I.e 50% of muslims worldwide think honor killing of women is alright is some circumstances. At what point do you draw the line to protect the freedom and rights of others?

>I'm really struggling to see your side of things
>So ask ME questions

Fuck off, dicklick. If you're confused about something, then you're the one who should be asking questions.

Get the fuck out of Sup Forums you libcuck shill.

>We know what's best for you.
>Entitled to shit

Definitely a libtard.

So, i make a soldiers wage amd using extreme layering skills i pay only 30% of what I should.

RE: Redistribution of wealth
Touchy subject. I'm a capitalist that accepts that as humans we need some socialism in our lives (firefighters, cops, judges.) The question is how far to go in social programs without hurting capitalism. Certainly don't want anyone telling me how to run my business or what to do with my money. Is more about making sure that people like me that can afford stuff no problem, contribute a fair amount for people who can't. There was a time I was a broke college student and needed plenty of help, wouldn't have made it without. Only fair for it to go around.

RE: Professor liberal bias
Of course. I find that most people in scholarly positions are going to have what you call a liberal bias. Pretty much anyone with more than 4 years education or IQ higher than 125. In truth I think it is really centrism, but you call it bias, fake news, etc. BTW, I also agree that the media is completely against Trump, but I don't think it is liberal bias, just centrism and awe at the situation.

RE: Recommend book
We are too far from each other, nothing we read about the other ideology would be enough. I truly don't know the answers. I hate the era of spin, no more subjective news, everyone has an opinion. You can't just put on CNN and get the simple facts. Fox News is a joke. most people on all sides are misinformed and lied to. That's why we can't even argue right.

Re: Gov regulation
I believe that the government is generally bad at doing stuff and most things they control completely they'll fuck up. Like taxes, and single payer insurance in other countries. That's part of why I liked the ACA, because it is a way to socialize care but still keeping it private.

RE: Experience with other communities
During my college years I lived smack middle of a black ghetto. TBF I kept to myself, but the people there were nice to me and I was back. Crime was there, so was violence, but nobody ever messed with me. I parked my car outside for 4 years and left my electronics within view (GPS, radio), nobody ever touched my car. Says something about community.

How big is you're wives bull? In inches please
Do you have a cuckshed?

RE: Rent control
I'm a capitalist, so no, I don't favor rent control. I would prefer smart social planning, like making sure that there is enough zoning and development for all needs. We also need regulation to keep housing organized. Too much to ask for though.

I do think section 8 is a good program. It helps poor families live with dignity. During my time in the ghetto I saw mostly good people trying to get ahead (like single mothers who otherwise would not be able to afford decent housing.)

RE: Radical islam
If you think anyone is defending radical islamists you are fkn moron. Who the hell would fight for the rights of terrorists?
The concept is simple. If a person minds their own business and doesn't hurt anyone, they can believe whatever they want, Christian, Muslim or whatever. There are millions of peace loving American Muslims in this country. If you don't know that, inform yourself.

RE: Taxes
My point about the taxes is that I pay a pretty penny ever year and it is not easy to keep current. I've been behind and ended up paying extra fees. So when I say I support something like the ACA even though it comes from my taxes and it also has raised my insurance costs by like 100%, I want to be clear that I'm putting my money where my mouth is and paying more than my share too, and I still believe in it.
