Oh I'm absolutely certain that you're right, that it is viewed culturally as opposed to literally. Only the culture in question is simplified down to the point of dumbification. I don't even know if that's a word. It should be. It sums up the whole idea of this cultural feud, of name calling one an other: 'Libtards' and 'Republicons'.

Republicans consider themselves loyal to the old values; it doesn't get much older for America than the founding fathers and if you look at the constitution in context that was incredibly liberal. One calling the other is to literally call one's own grass roots. Lockean philosophy was key to the constitution. Locke was a capitalist that promoted liberal rights.

Somewhere along the line people stopped agreeing on common goals and disagreeing how they should be achieved. Instead they started agreeing that they would argue and disagreeing on the common goals. That conservation should be passed off as a 'liberal thing' (and I think you're right, it is seen that way) is just to dismiss an issue because one gang claimed dibs on it because it was a new concept.

I guess I'm saying that I can't believe that people are so determined to put things into two groups, polarising to the point of not addressing anything at all other than calling the other group names. Like you said politicising an environmental issue. Even the terms liberal and US conservatism have been put through the splicer. There should be no space between - someone who supports the liberal initiative set up by the constitution. Instead people are told they are polar opposites and issues like environmentalism suffer.

WOoOah there!!! This isn't a ritual thing with you guys is it - like Greeks breaking plates? Is it something y'all do before you throw a revolution; "Right, we're having a revolution! Somebody throw the tea in the harbour and we'll get started."

You're gonna do it again aren't yer!

Wow. My first time checking out one of those podcasts, and omg they're talkin' 'bout me on the internets!!!!

But even that aside, very cool. I also checked out the MixxingBowl forums for the first time today... trying to become more "in the know" about the great Mixxosphere....
