Just curious about rule 2 “Posts must be (American) right wing.” This post doesn’t seem to be about American right wing politics, nor the one about Canadian health care. Can I get some clarification on rule 2 in this context?
Basically, I’m an American, and thats my bias. Pro-freedom, smaller government, less pre-crime laws, common sense in general.
Right wing in other countries like Palestine or the UK is just about the opposite. Lots of oppression, lots of bigotry. Like I understand being fearful of the right if you live in Poland or India, but the American right wing is not like that. (Only place that comes close is Canada, but they’re just America lite)
I hope that makes sense and I’m not making an ass of myself.
Sooooo… It’s ok to post about things other than American right wing politics as long as the substance of those posts have an American right wing bias? Im not sure I’m picking up what you are putting down here.
Anyway thanks for your perspective. I’m very glad to know that there’s no bigotry among American conservatives.
Yeah kinda. I try to be self aware about my biases, and the biases in my work.
If youve ever seen /r/conservative, similar thing, except without the flairs only threads.
And for the record, I do realize that bigotry is everywhere. Assholes and idiots exist in every large group of humans.
Can someone explain the difference between someobe who is far right and a libertarian? What is the difference between far right and a constitutionist? What is the difference between far right supporting individual freedoms?

It’s one thing to want smaller government. It’s another to want to completely shut down core function of the government. This quote shows that he want to do the latter and I think it clearly illustrates why you would call him “extreme” right wing:
The president-elect also announced that public works would be “cut down to zero” and those already in progress would be put out to tender so that “there would be no more state spending”.
Public works includes roads and other such infrastructure work. He isn’t saying shrink. He’s saying zero. Shutting down core public works is pretty damn far out there.

The less government spending the more they can cut all people’s income tax. The more governemt programs people want, the more moeny they must cut out ofyour pay.
I will not listen to any criticisms of businesses from anyone who has not experienced what is required of an owner in order to have the previlage to pay someone to work for them fulltime, and then they can demand more government regulations.

Imo labels are so overused sometimes that they become useless, or worse than useless.
