Is Nationstates liberal?

[Tkdkidsx2]

Well, I feel that the name says it all. A long time back, I think that there was a thread much like this one, but still different. This isn't a repeat thread.

At the time of that thread being created, the answer was possibly yes. I faded away from the forums for a while, and when I came back, I was pleasantly surprised. To me, it appears that Nationstates has balanced itself out. Is this false? I don't really know.

Opinions?

[Nightkill the Emperor]

No, it's pretty liberal.

[New Heliopolis]

It's become less and less liberal overtime, but it's still liberal.

Sure, there are some less liberal replies at times, but the majority I've seen are pretty left-leaning.

[The Black Forrest]

Yes. This is where we went after the Democrats drove us out.

[Free Pangea]

Definitely liberal leaning, but not totally liberal.

[Idaho Conservatives]

Pretty hard left.

[Norstal]

Reality has a liberal bias. So yeah.

[Dazchan]

Nationstates is a website. It has no political leanings, as websites generally can't think for themselves.

They see me trollin'...

Clever, even if overdone.

[Nadkor]

No.

[Eternal Yerushalayim]

Definitely leaning towards the left of the real world.

[Dracoria]

Overall, it appears that way. However, there seems to be a split between the collectivists and the classical liberals. Actual conservatives are few and far between, althouth collecticvists will call classical liberals conservatives and they, in turn, call the collectivists statist.

[Costa Fiero]

Define liberal. Because it can easily shift depending on topic.

[Rennebourg]

There is a fast growing Anarcho-Capitalist and right-libertarian population. But the forum is definately socially liberal. Economics have balanced out a bit.

Is the Pope Catholic?

In either way, I wish NS was really liberal, like DPRK liberal.

[Azakhia]

Being young and in school or college...

[Siorafrica]

Liberals are a plurality here but not a majority. There's a shy tory factor at work.

[Cromarty]

Didn't we have this thread... like two days ago?

[Tkdkidsx2]

Didn't we have this thread... like two days ago?

If we did, then none of my searches found anything.

[Ecans]

YES!

[Malgrave]

In before people claiming those stupid liberals and communists have infested this forum. In reality the forum does have a fair amount of centre-left individuals however NSG does contain some radical elements in the form of Fascists etc etc.

Although I suppose if you are using the American political spectrum we're all dirty communists with Conservative Morality being Stalin.

[Lizardiar]

Is this one of those Geico commercials? Where it states the obvious?

[Prestyr John]

Lil' bit, yeah.
