Ah yes, the ongoing COVID operation was clearly a manifestation of a leftist/socialist/communist impulse in our society. Protecting Big Pharma from scrutiny, supporting the ability of private companies to access people's health records (and make hiring/firing decisions from that), and empowering a hybrid public/private surveillance state are stark examples of being "anti-capitalist", right? The mainstream "left" is garbage on these issues but they are also not left-wing in any real sense.
The idea that this board has gone "MAGA" is very much unfounded. I have yet to see anyone here express support for Trump, even if I have seen some people express a belief (which is highly-misguided in my opinion) that Trump is somehow an aberration or at odds with the deep state. And as much as it makes me cringe, if right-wing sources are the only ones reporting on critical information, it makes sense to use them (though I'd add qualifiers for the inherent bias) and doing so does not make someone "MAGA". The tribalism and gatekeeping, however, goes both ways, as many of the people here who take the greatest offense at being called "MAGA" are also quick to accuse a person of supporting Big Pharma, authoritarianism, etc. if that person expresses the slightest challenge to anything they said.
Little-noted blast from the past: the mostly Republican-affiliated American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a shadowy corporate lobby group with immense influence in state legislatures around the country, was a pivotal force in pushing mandatory vaccines circa 2015: https://www.naturalblaze.com/2015/07/alec-behind-recent-push-for-mandatory.html Yes, those considering themselves leftists who supported this legislation are dupes, but so are figures on the right who continue to support this apparatus and its servants in politics. It is a major problem that to most people familiar with the idea of a deep state, the term mainly evokes "liberal" entities like the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Trilateral Commission, Bill Gates, etc. but not conservative entities like ALEC, the Council for National Policy (CNP), Robert Mercer, etc.
Mac was never banned, you dumb ass.
As a result of board happenings I guess MacC will no longer want to be my friend in the real world, but we were friends for a long time in Berlin. Banning him really upset me.

And if you want to demean me by calling me a socialist libertarian, that's fine. But as for your blatantly false accusations of incivility, fuck you!

@Iam, would you please clarify your statement? You've posted in that admin where JR announced Mac being banned so you've read it. You were to varying degrees also involved with the situation leading up to the ban back when the lockdowns and hysteria began.

Why not be honest about this? JR was transparent about it, why are you denying? I'll fully admit at times I'm a dumb ass, but not in this case.

As correctly quoted, he was blocked back then.
He has been unblocked for months but hasn't posted.

I definitely would; there is no modern liberalism outside the orbit of Rockefeller money and control.
The fact we have to put so many of these political "philosophies" in "quotes" like "liberals" is a big tell that we're talking about some cynical bullshit, a stage show. The entire concept of a political spectrum is an artifact from a revolution where urbanites roamed the countryside murdering farmers in creative, modern ways. After awhile they had Napoleon. Now they have Macron.
It's just statists arguing about who should control the state and who should be ground to dust underneath it. Rockefellers are definitely liberals, Timothy Leary famously decided he'd rather play for the Yankees because the CIA is liberal, too.
