RE: The details of a Blockchain-based Electronic Direct Democracy
I think you need to more careful with your terminolgy, a 'Liberal' now is nothing like what it was 5 years ago. I'm a Liberalist, and what you're describing is the Far Left, which is almost exactly opposite to modern Liberalism.
We believe in equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. They have a marxist world view, ours is purely egalitarian and based on a meritocracy.
Sorry for the political lecture, but it's a very important distinction :-) You're still a worthless hippy though.
Besides: I REALLY enjoy calling them "libtards" when they're p...ing me off. It always gets a reaction!
Typical comment of a tree-hugging liberal!
Uh yeah, I see your point. But there is a complication. The Far Left (and for some reason I seem to know way too many of them - the universe likes to play games and mess with my head that way) also describe themselves as "Liberal". I know what will happen if I tell them they're not, let's just say that that won't get me anywhere.
I would prefer to let them keep the "Liberal" moniker and term you something along the lines of "Rational". It's not like these things are immutably nailed down in the Oxford Dictionary anyway.
Any suggestions?
My best description would be Classical English Liberal. I appreciate that means something different in the UK to what it does elsewhere though.
The political spectrum as we see it (in US terms) from left to right is Far Left, Democrat, Liberal, Republican, Far Right. So what you call Liberals in the US today are the Far Left, they're nothing like Liberals (or even Democrats for that matter).
I'm a Liberalist, they're Socialist, it can't be described any other way :-)
I would have thought that US "liberals" are further left than Democrats. But I don't really know.
Okay, you can be a Liberalist and the other variety can just be Liberals (or morons)!
Just call them 'politically naive imbeciles' and if they complain, ask them why they haven't moved to the glorious Socialist republic of Venezuela (or North Korea for that matter).
😂
I hate the argument "if you don't like it move", but statist deserve to hear it back. It is one of their cult's standard responses. So I reply with "since you cannot leave me alone, I will rape you too, but you can avoid it, by getting out of my area"
