    Its just a trend I have been noticing.

    I am not saying being to the right is incorrect etc. But its just that is used to be so much to the opposite.

    In the states its noticeable too.

    No. Being right wing means a person prefers personal greed over compassion for all which includes compassion for animals.

    And yet many claiming to be left leaning are a bunch of altruists stroking their pseudo morality ego.

    Well you'll get the factual animal supporters more middle towards the right.

    And the emotionally immature,triggered, goons more left leaning.

    I notice there's a fine line between them, but the middle to right aren't as nasty and hateful as the lefty Sjw types.

    The lefty's and sjw's give animal rights a bad name because it's not the animals they're worried about,it's just another fight or tantrum for them to crave attention for.

    Claiming is the operative word.

    I don't think that is what right wing means.

    I would think it means more socially conservative and a more lassaiz fair attitude to social justice.

    Lower taxes etc. Obv lower taxes means less funding for animals etc.

    I have actually noticed a change the more immature ones are now right.

    And the left doesn't really have time for animals.

    From some studies in the states people who identify as rightwing give far more to charities then the left but they did not specify it that had anything to do with Animal right charities.

    Yeah i heard that. NY times

    Maybe that is why. Charities are influenced by who gives them donations etc.

    Around 50 posts a day.

    It all seems a kind of pointless but if your aim is to boost your post count, then it makes sense?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 255 ✭✭Gachla

    I could probably do that for one day, maybe a week I could try but for 3 months and no sign of stopping? Would need a big bag of cans alright.

    How is that even possible, guess they post in their sleep too!

    For someone that spends their time here labelling people right wing or far-right, you should probably find out what they mean.

    Sorry I'll just translate that into...what's it called...truth!

    From a study in the states, republican voters living in republican counties report more charitable donations on their tax returns than democrat voters living in democrat counties. This doesn't apply to republican voters in democrat counties. Democrat counties typically have higher government funding through taxation for charitable causes, republican counties rely a lot more heavily on private donation, which typically does not match funding through taxation.

    I don't care except that they seem to post in every thread I read. No harm to them but their contributions aren't exactly unmissable either. Anyway, let them at it I suppose.

    Maybe the older generation was right wing as Germany was one of first countries to worry about those things. USSR and China instead had done a big damage to the environment like the end of the Aral sea and I think chinese people don't worry to much about animal rights.
