This doesn't correct any "misunderstanding" on my part. It just repeats what I say your right wing beliefs are and your justifications for them.
I'd only disagree with oddly false framing comments like "I don't read you" and am "deliberately obtuse" on Roe.
I not only read your posts, I remember them better than you do.
Sure, somewhere in the deep dark past you used to defend same-sex marriage. Like a (YUCK!) progressive.
But now that you've become one of this forum's LOUDEST and most constant opponents of "the modern left" and "white guilt,"
a defender of nationalism and law and order who expresses his love for the most conservative court in a hundred years, and his anger over
the liberal double standard on Trump, and channels the IDF on the Super thread--surprise surprise--people think you are not "centrist"
but, yes, a "rightist," by same kind of evidence and logic that, correctly, make me a "leftist."
It would be silly and inaccurate for me to claim I'm a "centrist" because I own guns and had "drag out fights" on the old board,
or a right wing poster agrees with me, then go back to criticizing Trump and the GOP and Right wing politics day in and day out
from a left-wing angle. Reminding people every now and then that I OWN GUNS TOO! and so must be free of partisan entanglements.
People would be justified in wondering why the insistent self-misrepresentation, the discomfort with accurate labeling.
So I am comfortable with people "slapping" a left label on me when I practice leftist politics, calling me a "leftist" when I support/defend liberal or actual leftist positions/politicians. Might be different if my criticism were 50/50. But it is not and I don't pretend otherwise.
One SHOULD be comfortable with accurate labeling, but very UNCOMFORTABLE with generating labels ad hoc as rhetorical weapons,
like calling someone a racist or an anti-semite or an ISIS supporter or an ANTIFA supporter as a tactic, depending on the thread topic.
There is no evidence in this forum that I am "comfortable" using labels that way.
Wow, congrats. This is one of the most self absorbed sanctimonious screeds I've ever read on the internet. Which is saying something. You and Dino (or "people" as you put it) believe what you will, you're part of the same gestalt hivemind. I'll just keep pointing out when you're wrong. All my best to you, enjoy your weekend.
