[QUOTE="Beerus, post: 54983, member: 1"] A leftist is not the same as someone that leans left. A leftist is a cult dogma participant that will follow whatever narrative the group says to be true or right and feels a threat from anyone or anything that counteracts that narrative. He was clearly not offended by me disagreeing with him. He even asked for sources to what I was saying in a rational manner. I came to a point realizing we will not agree or change each other's opinions so I stated that I am ending the conversation we were having. He agreed and that was that. I am rooted in my beliefs in terms of social and moral views. What I feel and think on certain issues will never change no matter what is presented to me. By your definition, that makes me a far-right extremist or something. Not sure what the opposite label is for a leftist, a rightist? I don't play political word games and I am able to understand there will always be people that will not agree with me. I don't care if it offends someone or makes them feel like I am against them. If a person who is left-leaning politically is able to accept and understand that not everyone will agree with them, they are not a leftist. And heck, even though I am very much a conservative in my views, I still see sense in some social programs which are commonly viewed as "left-leaning" or to the left on the political spectrum. As I said, a leftist is basically a cult member, they are of a hivemind and are very emotionally unstable people. Same for far-righties. They cannot tolerate people disagreeing with them and will become emotional and upset when people do. They take it as a personal attack as if the person is insulting them and not their ideas because their ideas and opinions are a godless religion for them. They cannot rationalize that other people have worldviews outside of their own and cannot accept that as a reality. It appears to physically/mentally hurt them. I don't want politics to bleed over this much into non-political threads though so feel free to respond to this if you want to in[URL='https://dragonballforums.com/threads/general-politics-thread.1395/'][B] the political thread[/B][/URL] or make a new one if you want.
