all tend to be right-wingers, it seems to me. Am I right? And if I am right, why is that the case? Are there chatboards like this dominated by liberals?
shareThe post queen is Keeliar.
You think this forum is dominated by conservatives? I always thought you assholes held sway.
Right wingers are dominant everywhere in the western world, not just online, it's just that some people don't even know it.
In the US Republicans and Democrats are both right wing authoritarians, Democrats just a bit less right and a bit less authoritarian.
https://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2024
Roughly 98% of all voters in the US vote right wing, only question is whether they know it or have fallen for the propaganda that Democrats shall be on the left.
It's only logic that true left wingers don't speak up in forums like this, for one there aren't many and for two they simply have no point to make while voting for Democrats and knowing that's not a vote for the left but a vote against their own interests.
The "vote blue because they are the lesser evil" is wearing out, Democrats have become such a corporate tool and war mongers, that nobody has a good argument to vote for them anymore.
Other parties like the Greens who would be truly on the left usually get less than 1% of the votes and their voters are blamed from both other parties, from Republicans as totally wrong and from Democrats as giving the win to Republicans by withholding votes from Democrats.
It could be so easy to look through the propaganda, asking simple questions like
"If Democrats shall be on the left, then where would the Greens be located?"
"If part of US politics shall be on the left, then where would the French "France Insoumise" be located?"
"If part of the US shall be liberal, then what would Switzerland be?"
But that's a level of logic right wingers aren't capable of.
Aside of that, right wing propaganda spreads by "if a lie is repeated often enough people start believing it anyway, only because it's been repeated so often" and that's why right wingers are usually much more active than lefties.
I don't believe that to be the case else they'll be winning elections all over. They've gained many seats for sure though in recent years but not enough to take charge. Europe Conservatives are more globalist I think. The only far-right that has won is in the US. Far-right are those that want to kick ALL illegals out.
shareFirst of all the topic here hasn't asked about the far right, but about "right wingers" and there Democrats are included as well as over 90% of all politicians in Europe and they have in fact been winning literally all elections for decades, have a look, there's nothing remotely left in government anywhere.

This chart is 13 years old, by today the whole array of red dots has shifted a lot further towards the top-right.
Secondly the US is by far not the only country where the far right is in government.
Orban in Hungary is in office since forever despite numerous corruption scandals, Mariusz Kamiński in Poland was in government up to 2023 (got kicked out by a vote of mistrust after he had pushed through anti abortion laws similar to the US and got massive protests in the streets in return), Meloni in Italy is in office since 2022, Wilders in the Netherlands took office in last year and all of them have similar programs, cut taxes for the rich, cut social services, scapegoating immigrants, etc.
Thirdly the far right only pretends to want illegals out, visible for example when Meloni took office in Italy, after she had run a really far right campaign, especially against immigration, but after she took office what she did was cutting pensions for the middle class while immigration increased by a staggering 800% during her first 100 days in office.
Within the EU there's a huge wave of migration going on, out of eastern countries like Poland where the far right is ruling, towards the west where the moderate conservatives are ruling, but that's legal within the EU and therefore doesn't appear in the statistics.
Alone Germany takes in roughly 1.5 million migrants from eastern Europe per year and right now with the war in Ukraine there's another million migrants on top of that which don't appear in the statistics.
Before you write a comment, these numbers are identical no matter whether SDP or CDU are leading the government and the far right AfD wants to keep these migrants coming as well, they call them "qualified labor".
Wow, you are completely full of shit.
shareThese people are profoundly unwell. Hard-core users go back to Free Republic, a board where people spent hours a day online praising Bush and criticizing Clinton.
shareHow dare you tend me to be a right-winger. Why I outta...
It actually wasn't like this when it first started out. It was more left center or middle-ish until the peepers started showing up in number as the years went on. I forgot who the first one was.
I think it’s because people simply got sick and tired of the left and their woke identity politics over the last decade. So you either had right-wingers coming here just to speak out because they couldn’t take it anymore, or you had people like me — former far-leftists who moved right. In my case, I still hold many of my left-wing positions, like socialism, but I’ve grown to hate the woke left with every fiber of my being. I wanted to get as far away from them as possible — to be as anti-woke as I could possibly be — which is how I ended up with such an extreme and unique ideology, like my version of National Socialism. It’s the only way I could keep my left-wing economic positions while being diametrically opposed to everything the woke left stands for — diversity, anti-racism, feminism, LGBTQ rights, and gender ideology. I had to turn to fascism as a way to express my hatred for the cultural left. And it seems more and more people feel the same way I do just maybe not as extreme.
shareDefine "Right-Winger".
Thanks.
If you think a father showering with his 11 year old daughter is a problem, apparently, you're a right winger.
shareThere is no right wing. It's either Biden worshipping/pro-woke TDS suffering lunatics with dyed hair on the left, or Hitler's fanclub members.
