Nah fuck your guns too
Why, have my guns ever harmed you?
Also, why are you rejecting all the common ground you two share? You're going to turn off people from conversing with you if you attach to the ONE thing you disagree with. Do you want to live life in a hive mind, and have no one oppose your views whatsoever?
Don't hurt yourself reaching
Ok
If you go left far enough you oppose gun control and aren't overlapping any of those circles...
Gotta love the amgy pro gun liberals and leftists who keep trying to theory their way out of the fact that going for a gun from a reactionary position just raises the odds you'll die in the exchange.
There is a fucking reason why even castle doctrine states will typically push duty to de-escalate, and why gun license training involves reprimanding wannabe rambos who think charging in with a glock pulled is a good idea if you realize your home has been invaded.
A firearm is NOT a defensive tool, it is a tool designed entirely for the purpose of killing, maiming, and severely injuring, the most you're going to defend yourself from is a wild animal that you caught flinching to charge you.
Also, "An armed minority can't be opressed." is something only an insane person, or a white person on red state public education system brain can say as if we don't live in a country where manifest destiny happened. The Apache didn't surrender after hundreds of years of fighting the Spanish, Mexicans, and finally Americans using just sticks and arrows.
Can we just start calling it what it is? “Pro-birth” The right doesn’t care what happens to you after that…hence the outside circles…and healthcare, food assistance, shelter, etc.
Birth can mean a healthy happy life afterward (they wouldn't want that), so more like "pro-plentiful-cheap-labor-supply"
If they were pro birth they'd be providing, if nothing else, pre and post natal healthcare as well as paid parental leave. But they don't and deaths related to births are on the rise.
"Pro-suffering"?
Yea, they were never going to pay for any of that or help in any way.
I think "anti-choice" is adequate, gets the point across in a different way
I agree wholeheartedly. I think this is an excellent phrase that describes what these people are trying to do on many levels.
The point of all of these propaganda campaigns, is take control from others and leave themselves in charge.
It centers on making everyone think the same as them.
So on every level they want to remove your choices
Especially since “pro-choice” by no stretch means “anti-life”.
I am the pro gun guy but i find the other groups in the diagram repulsive. Like would you be more happy if only pigs and shills had guns let me tell you i live in a country like that and it isn't even remotly good.
As a “pro gun guy”, I’d be curious on your thoughts about compromise. Allow people to get a gun, but only after taking a gun safety-type course. Like drivers training…you’re essentially getting into a “weapon” that has the potential to kill someone so you have to learn the law and how to drive safely. Same should go for using a gun.
Being someone living in the Netherlands, I live in a country where pigs and shills have guns, and it's great here!
I oppose gun control.
I favor the death penalty, but not in the overwhelming majority of the cases that it's actually used in. Specifically, I think that it should probably be limited to people that kill for pathological reasons, people that would kill more people if they were ever able to get out of prison, people like Ed Kemper, Gary Ridgeway, Dylan Roof, etc.
I'm very solidly pro-choice, and got sterilized 20 years ago just to be sure.
I strongly favor infection control and deeply oppose lies ("misinformation") about vaccination, etc., but concede that individuals should have the choice to wear masks, get vaccinated, etc. or not, but that the gov't has a compelling interest in not allowing them into gov't buildings (schools, courts, etc.) if they refuse, and businesses have the absolute right to deny them service on the basis of their choice.
Apologist perspective: all three have a common thread, individual rights (assumption: fetuses have rights).
But even that breaks down when you consider social policies like same sex marriage and recreational drugs.
Wait, the death penalty violates that explanation. Well... I tried.
That overlap is extremely conservative.
in multiple ways yes
Yeah, we need another circle here for people who are socially conservative. There are pro-life voters who wouldn't identify with any of these positions, leading me to label them anything but conservative.
It's almost as if people aren't as one-dimensional as some voting systems.
Can you define socially conservative? In my experience, that includes people who believe "races" should be segregated
Typically (in the US at least) the term "socially conservative" is used to specify conservatism on social (usually domestic) issues, as opposed to other areas like foreign policy, economy, or some other broad subject of government.
Within that framework, you'll usually see "social conservatives" holding views that are often considered "family values" positions (for better or for worse), and usually are primarily concerned with subjects surrounding the day to day lives of the individuals within society.
These positions are often closely tied to personally held beliefs on the ways that society overall should look and act, and as such are frequently informed by religious beliefs (which tend to focus on the same topics). Such issues include: abortion (with social conservatives tending to be pro-life to some degree), LGBTQ rights (typically anti-marriage equality, against recognition of trans gendering, and any and all depictions of non-cishet lives in any books, movies, etc. especially those marketed toward children), public school curricula (if anyone is talking about banking books, it's likely social conservatives), the role of religion in schools and other official places (frequently they're very much in favor of prayer in schools...so long as it's Christian prayer... American social conservatives would very likely blow a fuse if their kid's school were to have prayer times for their Muslim students), content and conduct deemed 'offensive' (profanity in songs, violence in video games, etc.), sex and nudity, censorship, etc.
Simply put, they're the "Won't someone think of the children!" people who want to tell everyone else how to live their lives.
Hey that doesn't feed the narrative to hate "others" by demonizing and homogenizing groups.
