From what I see the battle is between collectivists and individualists. The name calling is just a weapon for discrediting people.

- tastyfreeze 4y agoTalking about your religious beliefs is not forcing them on anybody.
- kibwen 4y agoIt is possible to be an individualist without calling for women, racial minorities, and gay people to be reduced to second-class citizens, but unfortunately given the popular rhetoric of self-proclaimed "individualists" you can be forgiven for not realizing this. You don't need to be a communist to be in favor of gay marriage, the right to abortion, the self-determination of gender identity, and so on. Back in the day we just called that "libertarianism" before the term was co-opted by anarcho-capitalists.
- LudwigNagasena 4y agoIt is interesting how one can support gay marriage, the right to abortion, the self-determination of gender identity, and so on without being a communist; but one cannot be vaguely affiliated with a group that opposed Roe v Wade without being a racist, a bigot and a misogynist that wants to strip everyone of their rights and reduce them to second-class citizens.
