This comment screams “I am extremely confident in my own intelligence and have never once listened to a word anyone else has ever said. Bow down to me!”
“I have a stance. It happens to conflict with both of you clowns.”
-okay, let’s see it.
“You’re all acting like I have to take the package deal when I’m only interested in Internet. Fuck that nonsense.”
-nobody is saying you have to pick a niche view, but views tend to have intersectionality. Ie, antiracists also tend to be anti-transphobia and anti-fascist, because they all come from a similar moral outlook.
“I want the right to bear arms and have an abortion.”
-So do most leftists.
“Let the gays do whatever they like, but why are they mimicking a religion which says they’re bad?”
-gay people are not mimicking a religion in any way, that’s absurd. Pride is about visibility and protection, if that’s what you’re calling a “religion.”
“I want higher tax brackets for the ultra wealthy and domestic spending for 3rd places, but I also think it’s a good idea to have our crazy army money because China specifically wants world domination.”
-so do most leftists. Even if your take on the military is at odds with many leftists, the rest of your views are fairly leftist.
“Absolutely NONE of this is “central” or “middle ground” because there is not a fucking polarity to the subjects!”
-Not necessarily middle ground, just generally ill-informed, given your belief that gay people are mimicking religion.
“You’re all idiots banging your heads together over stupid shit the ultra rich make up to keep you fucking busy! YOU blind idiots are why we can’t have nice things!”
-That’s a firmly leftist position, saying that the rich are dividing the Proletariat against itself to stay in power. That’s not even close to a right wing position.
There you go, firmly answered. You’re a leftist, but one who probably hasn’t actually read theory or taken the time to analyze their own views. I think reading what other leftists have written about leftism might be fantastic for helping you come to terms with your own views and help you understand them better, but that’s your choice to make.
I’m not about to vote in someone who wants to disarm me just because they’re on my side for a couple of topics. The fact of the matter is that I don’t believe in representation. Direct democracy is the only way to actually get to conclusions.

This screams “ad hominem” you’re just gonna insult my character because you have no argument.

What do you think marriage is?

Keep your labels to yourself.
Leftists aren’t anti-gun, buddy. Direct democracy is good, sure, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re a leftist that refuses that label.
Marriage isn’t religious.
