I’d like to start a series seeking viewpoints from across the political spectrum in general discussions about modern society and where everyone stands on what is not working, what is working, and where we see things going in the future.

Please answer in good-faith and if you don’t consider yourself conservative or “to the right”, please reserve top-level discussion for those folks so it reaches the “right” folks haha.

Please don’t downvote respectful content that is merely contrary to your political sensibillities, lets have actual discourse and learn more about each other and our respective viewpoints.

Will be doing other sides soon but lets start with this and see where it takes us.

    I was called “extremely right wing” the other day by a tankie, so I guess I can technically answer:

    • Politicians pushing regressive legislation and talking points, instead of just letting people be who they are
    • Conservatives who have no interest in conserving anything
    • Extreme and growing wealth gaps
    • Money in politics
    • They never renewed Firefly
    • They renewed Star Wars
    • Fascists allowed to walk around unpunched

    …yeah, as you can probably guess, I don’t exactly consider myself a conservative. You need to define what you consider centrist in this context.

        Honestly, based on the stories I’ve heard about Joss Whedon, I’m not too sad about Firefly anymore.

        Edit: I’m surprised this comment is so controversial, given how Joss made one of the writers on Firefly cry twice during a meeting and thought it was funny.
