I am a "right-leaning" Conservative, however I am very "left-leaning" on foreign policy, I am a non-interventionist.

I personally do not believe in the whole "Right-Wing-Left-Wing" paradigm.

Back on the Jolt forums during the height of Project Chanology, we had a brief storm of Scientologist trolls attempting to smear Anon/Anti-Scis and pimp how awesome they were. I swear to $deity, they were utterly incapable of arguing their position without flaming the hell outta their detractors. (Which, as I understand, is part of the organization's doctrine for dealing with dissent.)

Oh, then there's the occasional chemtrail guy. Those get pretty far out there, too. Things almost invariably go pear-shaped whenever we get an actual Young-Earth Creationist, Geocentrist, or Flat-Earther on the site. And one time we had some completely crazy guy briefly ranting about a government conspiracy about time being flat and the government was hiding the truth etc etc etc.

I think the most extreme statements I've personally seen tend to come from Moderation matters though, ranging from how the site is a Nazi-supporting offshoot of Stormfront (because we don't outright ban the ideology entirely,) that we've been responsible for DDOS attacks on other sites (that the mod team has never even heard of,) even had one once foreeever ago that was completely convinced that the mods had Max Barry captured and held hostage so we could rule the site without his interference. :eyebrow:

Sadly, a lot of those were either on the old old ooooold original forum, or on the Jolt forum. If you go rummaging around in Moderation you can sometimes find more modern wackiness.

most social sites on the web are liberal... mostly because the people on them are college and late high school and early twenties.

Economically, everyone knows I'm a Marxist-Leninist. As for social-issues though, I actually have a complete mix of views on them.

The liberals and conservatives here are pretty obnoxious and irritating. Don't get me started on the edgy Commies and Fascists.

The worst offenders are the people who put what their views are in their sig. The whole "pro/anti" thing. No one cares and it's pointless.

Arguable. He may be right (doubtfully), but I disagree. There are many in the far left on NSG, but it hasn't skewed the entire site terribly leftwards. It's just left of center, overall. Besides, with the increasingly verbal far-right NSers coming in, I'd say the site isn't far left enough.
