Holy shit, wtf happened to JP. Last time I saw him he was pretty chill, now he's some right wing nut job? Damn, what a shame.
He always was conservative... some may just have confused his classical liberal opinions as being politically left; nope it's always been politically right.Holy shit, wtf happened to JP. Last time I saw him he was pretty chill, now he's some right wing nut job? Damn, what a shame.
American liberalism and the hysterical left has nothing to do with liberalism elsewhere in the world. I'm liberal and left on almost all issues, and I can clearly see that America has a problem. On both sides. Personally I think America's right is an order of magnitude more harmful than its left, but both are in different positions on the crazy spectrum.He always was conservative... some may just have confused his classical liberal opinions as being politically left; nope it's always been politically right.
The "nuts" on the left have just spent a lot of time trying to skew that division -- Liberalism has been always about securing freedoms, and the left has never been that... simple distinction:
- Left is pro big government e.g. socialism, communism, fascism...
- Right is anti big government e.g. classical liberalism, conservatism...
Wrong... you've simply made the mistake of thinking classical liberalism was political left -- it never was. Classical Liberalism is Conservatism.American liberalism and the hysterical left has nothing to do with liberalism elsewhere in the world.

JP was definitely not an overt right wing nut in the past. Even that video shows him strongly alluding to how he never used to be how he currently is.
