My brother (heavy left leaning) said one of his main gripes with the right/alt right was how they used the term "lefty" to condescend when talking.

How valid of a criticism would Sup Forums say this is?

Not an argument

'Lefty' is an adjective, not an insult.

What he's really saying is that being called a word hurts his fee-fee's, i recommend you beat him to death as punishment.

fpbp

He should take issue with actions and outcomes rather than words. That's one reason why lefties are such dolts.

It actually really kinda pissed me off. Instead of actually giving criticism, he just called feels.

Also he said he supports Hillary, and called conservatives bigots (which imo is pretty bigoted).

I sexually identify as left-handed and see no problem

Oh shit, and he also blamed white people for the problems of modern day Africa. I belive his exact words were "Its all those fucking white cunts".

It was really weird cause we're both white as fuck.

Seeing as though the question has been answered lets turn this to a "shit lefties say" thread.

As soon as the words 'bigot', 'racist', '___phobic' or the very best: 'demagogue' are uttered, the argument is over. You have the high ground

Ask him what should be done to the "white cunts", then politely suggest he does so to himself

The convo was about chocolate manufacturing and he was going on a rant about how shit conditions are over there. I had no clue so I just listened in silent skepticism. After I looked that shit up I brought up all the actual facts while he was driving and he got really pissed off. He punched me (still while driving) and then told me to get out and walk the rest of the way home. Some good shit right there.

Oh yeah and before he told me to get out he screamed
>"YOU'VE POKED THE BEAR! DON'T POKE THE BEAR"
I was tearing up in laughter, I didn't even give a fuck that I had to walk home.

That's fucking stupid

Lefty, marxist, cuck and gullible are synonyms in the modern era

You don't meet left leaning people who don't subscribe to non-marxist leftism nowadays, so being condescending to/treating them like children is the correct response.

Your brother sounds a bit retarded. You better hope that he was joking or that it's not genetic

Sorry lad. Being an aussie is genetic and sadly terminal.

Exactly, ad hominems are the premier technique of the intellectual armed with facts and knowledge

>the intellectual armed with facts and knowledge

Xd btfo

It's a good way to stop people from talking the red pill. How many of you guys used to be left? I'd bet alot. I know I used to be.

Though I'd say the less abrasive a political idiology is the more it cares about what you think. Like a "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar" thing, except flies are stupid people and vinegar is hard facts. I guess the honey would be free colledge or something.

Why the fuck do we CONSTANTLY have to change what the politically correct term is to refer to A) negros/colored people/people of color and B) marxist/socialist/communist/liberals/lefties/progressives/democratic socialists/what the fuck ever?

Seriously, what do they want to be called? Pick a fucking word and stick with it!

left wingers aren't liberal. The left is authoritarian, especially with regards to economic matters.

The right wing is a mish mash of different ideologies that contradict each other.

Its often not something I want to say, but when you discuss politics or modern politics itself as a phenomena you need some word to describe the 'left'. You can sometimes use longer descriptions of groups when trying to explain something but it can often save a lot of time just saying 'lefty' cause everyone understands it to an extent.

It's like naming the jew they just don't want to be called out on their commie believes

Everyone in my family has a bit of an irrational problem but me, so probably genetic. Though I'm pretty sure everyone besides me is left, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Pretty sure he has slight autism though.

your brother is a stupid fucking retard

I use "faggot" or "garbage hippy faggot"

>How many of you guys used to be left? I'd bet alot. I know I used to be.
If you are not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at 30, you have no brain.

>I guess the honey would be free colledge or something.
The honey is
>believe what I tell you or you will face social ostracization and possibly get bullied out of your job

You're retarded beyond any possible explanation
hang yourself asap kid

I was on the far left, very extremist, but also didn't have my mental health in check at the time so I dunno what that says.
People today, especially younger generations, have never experienced adversity. As such, its very hard to make the 'right' appealing because it generally requires personality traits that develop due to adversity.

Apologies for triggering you buddy

He's doing engineering, so that ain't the case. Though politics 'smart' and book 'smart' are two separate things I guess.

>libshits now get offended by the words left and right

ITS OVER ANAKIN I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND

That's honestly my main problem with the right.

I know what the right and left paradigm actually means, and I vert often see people using "left" and "liberal" erroneously.

ESPECIALLY when people talk as if conservatism and liberalism are magically mutually exclusive, despite the fact that within a western context, conservatism is a method through which to implement liberalism.

And I very often see people on the "right" using the term left to describe a situation that is not inherently leftist at all; as if a person is is perceived/claims to be left holding a position magically makes that position leftist.

It's not actually any one group that does this while the rest do not, it's a symptom of our shift away from earnest education in favour of simplistic marketing narratives.

But is is the so-called "conservatives" (Who are almost always not actually very conservative and are in fact almost always economic progressives who take us further and further away from the tax-and-invest-in-the-commons policies that led to western economic dominance in the first place) that do this the most.

Honestly I am of the opinion that any rhetoric that turns you against your fellow countrymen is morally bankrupt and is simply employing an easy technique to reinforce tribalism, which then frees up policy makers from accountability to their base.

>[...]But call him a Jew and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: "I've been found out."[...]

Is he also the kind of person that for example says the Liberals (Aussie) are on the EXTREME far right?

I was lib until I started following Trump and got perspective. Until you're somewhat independent you don't usually get that perspective.

And the ones who block perspective won't even know if the grass is greener on the other side, so they don't know shit.

They project hard when they call others bigots. They've sort of co-opted the term bigot into basically meaning "a white racist", when in reality bigot means to stubbornly refuse to listen to reason, or opposing viewpoints - to the extent of being hostile.

The right-wing, specifically the alt-right is subjected to opposing views on a minute-to-minute basis. The only way you can stop being exposed to it is to completely go off the grid, because the leftist information machine is that dense. Leftists on the other hand are not exposed to alternative viewpoints at all. They actually have to actively seek "alt-right communities", that are not mainstream at all - and what do they do when they find them? They complain that they are not in lockstep, and do everything they can to make transform them into another leftist repeater.

The left/right paradigms change all the time. The original meaning had the right wing as monarchists. Lets not pretend that them remaining at the same place forever is desirable.

Tribalism is also the basis of all civilization.

Yeah I hadn't until I found out my school was kicking out white males that underachieved (even slightly or possibly) to boost their pass percentages (which is illegal as fuck) I got semi redpilled around that time and got alienated from my group of friends because of it (they were all heavy left).

It takes adversity to get a kind of perspective, you don't 100% understand discrimination until its happened to you I guess.

If that is his main point, it's pretty shit.

>my school was kicking out white males that underachieved (even slightly or possibly) to boost their pass percentages (which is illegal as fuck)
Could you expand on this? Sounds very interesting and relevant to me.

Nah, I'd say he thinks he's liberal but doesn't get the political climate at the moment. He didn't know about how fucked up Hillary was until I rattled off the list.

Yeah, lefties have been attacking pol pretty hard recently, from what i've seen.

Probably because the aus media shills for hillary and probably doesn't even get paid for it

we usually have the facts to back up our claims, due to chan/internet culture we still like to call people niggerfaggots in between the facts.

its intellectually lazy and 100% cowardice to ignore the meat of an argument and go "Look see! You insulted me, that means your argument is now invalid!! Ha ha!!"

> and he also blamed white people for the problems of modern day Africa

But it is our fault, all we need to do is stop helping them and they'll either get better by themselves or disappear.

I can't even remember the last article I've seen that was critical of Hillary in Australia, the positive ones they are publishing about her are so cheesy and manufactured as well. Meanwhile, even the stupidest negative perspective about Trump is getting at the very top of abc.net.au at the rate of one article per day minimum.

Ok, greentext time.

>I was a pretty smart kid so I picked things up easy and never really had to study while still passing.
>It was cool, but it fucked me over for 10th - 12th grade.
>I was in all the highest level classes (Maths, Eng and Physics ect.) but didn't study at all, so I was always getting 'C's/'D's.
>When I hit 11th grade, our whole cohort was told that if we even came close to failing we'd be canceled
>Everyone thought this was normal because "why would they lie to us?"
>Grade 12 rolls around and I'm called into the principals office
>He tells me if I slip, then my enrollment will be cancelled
>idgaf, didn't take it too seriously cause he called in alot of people (only white boys)
>final semester rolls around and I'm given another warning, this time I take it seriously
>Study down hard, ignore friends, all that shit
>Principal sends out a letter to all my teachers asking how I've changed
>Calls me into his office Friday before exams start

tbc

Catholic school?

how large was his nose?

all the bad experiences I've ever had with teachers were with kikes or niggers.

>He's doing engineering, so that ain't the case.
As someone who was in engineering, your fucking wrong.
Just because he knows how to do triple integrals doesn't mean he's "smart" when it comes to politics and economics, that's not his fucking field of expertise.

>inb4 "faggot"
> I was getting 'A-'s on my latest exams and was going really well, didn't expect to be fucking expelled right before exams
>Told my Dad as soon as I got home, he just told me to go to my fucking room until my mum got home.
>I'm feeling like an heroing, but then shit starts to connect in my head.
>I saw a list of the people that were going to be cancelled, and quickly messaged them and told them that they are probably next (every one of them had a higher chance of failing than me)
>I started researching the legality of cancelling students, found out it was shady af
> emailed my teachers and asked them what they told the principal about how I'd done, all of them say either positive to extremely positive stuff, more shit wasn't adding up
My mum comes in and gets pissed at me for being on the computer after I'd just been expelled, but I show her what I've got so far. Sh e then shows it to my Dad and they both agree that shit isn't adding up.
>They get a lawyer and go over the legality of it, and email the head of the board of education, including all the shit I'd dug up legally and he said it was ilegal as fuck
>3 weeks pass, missing study and exams, but I finally get back
still aint done nigga

Nope, public school.

p. small

could have been a real lighskinned nigga or a turk tho

if "lefty" became in any way condescending, it did so long after "right-winger" was made shorthand for wife-beating, minority hating, white supremacist, slavery-apologist, bible-thumping, creationist homeschooling inbred fascist.

so... yeah, your brother can cry you a river.

Shutup you lefty poof

>I'm really struggling to catch up on 3 weeks worth of study and exams I miss, but I'm also getting alienated by my friends (who were really supportive of me after I got expelled)
>Learn that one chick in the group(that full on looked like a jew) was spreading around the rumor that I bribed my way back into school (her mum worked at the school as an office lady, so people belived her) (also my parents were pretty weathly, and 99% of kids there were poor as fuck, so some classism was probably at play)
>Go to sit down with the group one day and they all start giving me shit about how I bribed the school, and verbally berating me, then they all got up and left before I could even begin to defend myself
>Fight the overwhelming urge to cry as I'm left sitting by myself
>anyway
>Pass all of my classes but the hardest 2, and graduate
Now I play videogames with my internet friends, and lone wolf at uni

Nigga if anything I'm alt right

How many shekels did you get off of them? Thats easily enough grounds for a hefty class action lawsuit.

None. It was the principals last year, and I was pretty much emotionally hollow at that point, so I wasn't angry enough to go through with any lawsuit. I didn't want media attention, and I just wanted to chill for a month or so until uni started. In hindsight I should have, so that shit doesnt happen to other guys like me.

Forgot to mention that there were plenty of non white boys and girls doing absolutely nothing, not even showing up to class, but we were the only expendable ones in the schools eyes.

Thin skin is a hallmark of liberalism.

Lookslike thread is gonna die, It was fun.

I'll let you guys know what happens when I tell my brother what you guys told me.

kek be with you.
