Why does this forum lean to the left?

[nonameelf]

Because it's a forum with people from many parts of the world and for most of the world the American Left is still Right to them. The actual American Right is super far Right compared to the rest of the western world.

For the most part, the posters worth a damn in this forum generally don't start threads.

Because you said so?

This filter should work. And thats only when he was named in the title.

Nothing. Again what is your big conspiracy. You think if someone talks about right wing politics or right social issues its an automatic ban? Again, you feel like you are being wrongly persecuted. I would like to know how?

Most humans care about humans other than themselves. Most humans are "left".

Not talking bout myself in general persé.

It has happened plenty though that people leaning to the right got infracted for saying the exact same shit the left leaning people said in a discussion.

Ive been around long enough to know. And look at the first pages of this thread. Suddenly multiple people make up stories about biased moderation? or could there be some truth to it?

Compared to what? If North Korea represents the far right and Sweden the far left, you'd be hard pressed to claim America is anywhere close to the center.

North Korea is th extreme authoritarian left, not the right. Sweden is a fairly liberal left.

Saudi Arabia is the authoritarian right. I can't think of a good example of a liberal right.

Because people that post here are younger. I recon I'm going to be more and more right winged as I get older, like everyone else in my family.

When people are young, than tend to have lofty ideals and are flexible in allowing those ideals to flourish (ie: nothing to lose, everything to gain, more likely to experiment.) When people get older and they have families to protect, and actual items of value to lose they tend to become more conservative to protect what they have for themselves and their future.

Just a FYI; you can't link directly to search pages like that, just grab the posts you have in mind and link them instead. Your current one comes up empty.

Yeah, that "super far right" that can't even allow a man to proclaim that a nation has the right to secure its borders without him being labeled an extremist by the majority of media and a great number of people in the general populace.

I seem to remember a few arguments about climate change with some popular conservatives on this site. Endus posts literally reams upon reams upon reams of data from credible sources like NASA, which give the truth in an informed manner.

What do we get every thread on climate change? "The world naturally experiences warming and has ups and downs" "The scientists are paid to do x research to stay in their jobs" "Its a global conspiracy" "Humanity is just not big enough and cannot possibly change the weather system of the planet"

Liberals have plenty of arguable labels applied to them like some given in this thread such as out of work stoners etc but if I was going to apply one to conservatives it would be stubborn and inflexible regardless of evidence so it's difficult to create a dialogue under those circumstances.

thats got nothing to do with being conservative at all.

inflexibility in an opinion is not indicative of a political allegiance.

if it where all lefties would be clueless, uneducated whiners who have no clue about how the world actually works.

The "general population" is full of uneducated loud mouthed opinionated asshats, who talk about issues they know nothing about and sprout opinion as evidence. Irrespective of what way they lean.

Oh didnt know thanks.

Search for "Moderation on this site" and "Endus" (titles only).

Should return plenty of results regarding bias.

Because it's not only Americans here on MMO-C. I think many right-wing parties in the EU would be considered left-wing in the US.

[Bollocks]

could also be because the leftie socialist model just doesnt work in reality.

Europe has been doing fine. Canada as well, we can add bolivia to that chart and even Peru we have been doing fine

thats not even super far right. say you want to protect your borders in general and the left get up in arms over it. but then its hard nowadays to decide who is actually a leftie, and who is just in the "offended by everything" brigade

[BuckSparkles]

Those people aren't conservatives.

And you are?

[Deleted]

Several reasons:
-left in the US is considered more centrist in other places, so centrist people seem more left to the US people
-the people leaning left are generally younger and in general younger people are better with technology, so there's more of them on the internet
-people have gotten tired of arguing so they don't bring up their political affiliation anymore
-when politics are discussed, due to a greater amount of left people, the people leaning right were kind of chased away, so their numbered dropped more.

Overall, a combination of factors.

I disagree, let's look at Donald Trump and every single senator more or less from an American southern state. They are all republican and all climate change deniers. To be republican and in a position of power is to have an inflexibility of opinion.

europe has been doing fine...

yes so fine we have one nation tinkering on bankrupcy, 4 others given huge bailouts and a very very serious migration issue causing more nations to look towards aright agenda..

but yeh, leftie socialist policies totally worked out well here.

[PC2]

When I did a poll on this, 57% of GenOT voters said they were left of center in their country.

The right maintains the status quo. The left change it.

We are in need of change.
