Like all the right cards to beat the competition.

Is “America” the keeper of the flame?

126

They don’t call themselves that.

127

but almost anyone born in this hemisphere could…

128

They don’t.

129

Please continue…

You think that is uniquely American? And made America?

131

I did.

132

Why are you asking me? I’m not a Justice Democrat.

And what makes you different than a prog.
That’s trickier to define. They are similar in many ways, but modern progressivism is more of an American concept whereas social democrat is a more internationally recognized term. I think also there’s a lot of blurring of lines with these definitions, even within the left in the US. Some consider modern liberalism and modern progressivism to be the same where others consider liberalism to be more center and progressivism being more to the left. I prefer social democrat because its less ambiguous and doesn’t have ties to the earlier Progressive movement who supported things modern progressives don’t like eugenics and prohibition.

133

Ah, a social democrat.

So a prog who is a globalist (as are they all) and claims not to support eugenics.

Got it.

134

Preferring a more universal and accurate term over a Americanized one has nothing to do with being or not being a globalist. You can’t assume a progressive is a globalist.
And what’s this about claiming not to support eugenics? Are you implying social democrats support eugenics but won’t admit it?

You’re very keen on defining other people. What about yourself? Are you a libertarian? Conservative? Classical liberal?

135

Missed it. What is the one thing?

136

Liberal.

137

The link. Liberalism.

138

Importantly, “Americans” took over a enormous area of the continent that never really ever had dense populations. Here was a essentially a wilderness richly endowed with almost pristine soils, primary forests, and an abundance of minerals and other natural resources.

139

How’s a classical liberal different than a libertarian?

Are we just ignoring the fact that you implied I support eugenics?

140

I don’t know, what is the difference?

Do you support abortion?

Why do you call yourself a liberal and not a libertarian? And why not a conservative?

Generally speaking, yes. How is abortion eugenics?

142

Because of the definitions we quoted in this thread.

Oh, you don’t know. Never mind.

143

It is a spirit.

You do not have to live in America to have the spirit. You need America so that you can have the freedom to make it reality.
