opeboism: opebo defined

[Alcon]

Opeboism to me seems to be:

1. If I like it, everyone who opposes it hates freedom and is a prude
2. If I don't like it, freedom doesn't matter or it has negatives to some group, so it isn't free

Why don't you power-worshiping 'libertarians' go critique your own political philosophy.  And while you're at it, please change all your avatars to Religious Party - because if you're not supporting the Democrats, you're supporting the theocracy.

Scared of being critiqued, Opebo?  Makes sense, because you're just a "populist" at heart - everything you like legal, everything else illegal!

No, you are merely repeating a misrepresentation of my views concocted by a lot of simpletons, Alcon.  Obviously I am a fairly standard liberal, and not a populist by any stretch of the imagination.

You support banning things you don't like, and allowing things you do.

I support plenty of things I don't like being legal.

You're a statist philosophically;  I'm more for freedoms I disagree with.

By the way, I'm not religious.  I don't know how many times I have to tell you that before it gets through your head.  Can you quantify it for me?

[Alcon]

You support banning things you don't like, and allowing things you do.

No, I don't, and I wish you would quite lying.  You simply typing a claim doesn't make it so.  Do you expect me to type a list of things I don't like but don't want to ban?  You're not worth the trouble, but here goes:
McDonalds
Walmart
golf
football
hamburgers
Pizza
fats
dumbs
I could go on but as you can see the excersize is stupid.

I'm sure I would "quite" lying, but you might just be confusing lying with being incorrect.  For instance, you are incorrect 95% of the time, but I don't necessarily think you are lying because of it.

Obviously, I don't like polka, but I'm not calling for a ban.  Just because you can make a list of things you don't like but don't want banned doesn't mean you aren't a "populist."  There are plenty of things Jake likes but doesn't want banned, yet you still call him a fascist.

On the other hand, there are actual things of significance - i.e. Christianity - that you've more or less expressed a desire to ban.  Those actually matter, and, yes, Opebo, you are a Cosmo Kramer-style "populist" and nothing more.

I mean, pizza?  Come on.  Just because you don't support banning foods you like doesn't make you any less of a fascist, Opebo.

I never said you were a religious, I merely said that those libertarians support the Religious Party.  You're not even a libertarian are you?

Yes, I'm a libertarian - although not a Libertarian.  By the way, you have (incorrectly) said I'm a "religious" in the past.

Just because you type it doesn't make it true, fascist.

In point of fact, what are you talking about?  What have I ever suggested banning?

Well, capitalism.  You just make ridiculous "oh, it's for the poor people!" excuses, when it's really obvious that it's just because you see capitalism as a reflection of your wealthy parents.  In fact, you don't seem to know much about politics.  You just complain to high heaven, and suggest leftist means to fix everything.

You then whine constantly about "prudes."  How is your economic prudery any better than their social prudery?  For someone who proudly claims to be a sociopath, your faux interest in poor people seems out of place.

So, you're an economic fascist.

No, Alcon, I said I wanted to feed the christians to lions.  I never said anything about banning the religion.  And regardless I assure you my ideas are about as far from populist as possible - they are highly unpopular.

I'm using the bastardised definition of "populist" here, which is why I keep quoting it.

Oh that was probably in response to some intolerance on your part - maybe disapproving of 'underage' sex parters or some such thing.  Anyway, you might as well join the Religious Party if you're not voting Democrat.[/quote]

Again, your intolerance is showing.  You're intolerant of capitalism because your parents didn't give you enough attention or something.  You're a Sunday Fascist, so to speak.

Basically, I'm sick of all of your posts being whining about one thing or another.  Whining seems to be all you do.  You know virtually nothing about politics, as evidenced by economic views that even far-leftists think would be self-defeating.  For someone so concerned with being the smartest person in the room, you've never come off as particularly bright to me.

Well, you conveniently ignore that you now live in a country where:

1. People die sooner.
2. People are more likely to be impoverished, even adjusted for cost of living.
3. Disease is significantly more rampant.
4. Educational opportunities are lesser.

You post pictures highlighting how beautiful it is.  Good for you.  Now, if you weren't a spoiled rich kid and had to work a day in your life, which country would you rather live in?

What exactly does your interest in politics stem from, anyway?  You don't seem to take much joy in reading up about economic matters, since from what I can tell your knowledge of economics doesn't go past "the more the government controls it, the better off workers are."  You seem not to do anything when it comes to social issues but complain about the same things over and over again.  I don't get why you are here, conversing with residents of the Bad Place who are no worse off in life than you are.
