Libs 'claim' to be defenders of women's rights, then they defend Islam.
I wonder, why do these far-less-than-an-IQ-of -2 libtards not defend nazism in the same way??

Tolerance is the key to the so called "progressives" true feelings.
You shouldn't tolerate anyone, you should accept them or not accept them.
The conceit of tolerating someone is a flawed concept.

Tolerance is a word bigots use to hide their bigotry.
Look at the definitions. You cannot tolerate something you agree with.
Saying you're tolerant is no different to saying you object.
It just means you pretentiously reject something.

According to the Constitution though, gay marriage shouldn't even be a debate due to the legal protections and privileges marriage offers. Everyone should be entitled to those protections and privileges.
It's sad that the 14th Amendment even had to be written let alone adopted but I'm so glad it was. It's unfortunate that people keep voting against equal protection and that we as a society can't just live and let live. It seems that we'd rather stay endlessly mired in the mud, despite how clearly our Constitution is written.

Islam like Christianity has it's sects that embrace equality of the sexes and those that don't. But it's difficult to get to that conversation when the freedom to practice a religion is under threat. In places like Syria, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan before coups and wars, women were legally and socially considered equal. Equality and safety for women is one of the first things to be lost or the hardest to gain in a destabilized society.

You are already operating under a flawed paradigm when you use the European political axis as your basis for the left/right divide. As I'm sure you are thinking you are clever to note with that meme, either end ends in statist tyranny bouncing between communism and fascism where you claim freedom is the center.
But if you really study the American Founding and the ideals of the American Founders who were truly liberal in the classical sense, the American axis is between all forms of statist tyranny and state of existence with maximal personal liberty and the least government possible to stave off true anarchy.
In the end, a tyranny is a tyranny and it makes no difference whether your slave masters claim they are communists or fascists. The "end" of the political spectrum for the people is the same. So the only really different end you can seek is maximal freedom. In other words, the Euro axis is a lie.

Right-wing extremist posts thread making a blanket claim which is prima facie false that all liberals are murderous. 25 pages of absurdity ensue. It's a sad thing and I'm afraid a fruitless thing to be a person of thought and nuance in this sea of hatred, selective ignorance, of tribal grooming. ATS is functionally owned by people just this side of Stormfront and so it will always be, as this is how people in editorial positions want it to be. I stop by every now and again these days to remind myself what it looks like to see a bunch of fascists stroking each other's ego in the proverbial bath house.
None of the statements in your word salad are true.
