So really gay marriage has nothing to do with any of this.

It's almost assumed that we are some kind of hive mind or something.

It’s most likely something. I have a feeling that they where never really pro-gay marriage in the first place but the current crap is giving them a nice out

Oh, it's not just you. Everyone but me is part of a hive mind. Everyone else is, for all intents and purposes, a P-zombie, and I am the only true and honest person in existence.

Ok buddy I bet you're one of those Far Left aka SJW's who want to legalize pedophilia, have you heard of the eleven year old boy who was stripping in a gay bar? His parents forced him too! Children should not be thinking of sexuality at that age, but being curious or asking parents about sex, not a five year old. You're in sick in the head if you deny such claims or it's ok. No it's not, you see why the moderate left is going to vote for Trump. This trans shit is hurting the children of the future.

The Steven Crowders and Ben Shapiros of this world are nothing more than lightweight neo-cons. It's sad, really.

I would recommend you watch some of John Stossel's videos. He's an ex-ABC and ex-FOX journalist who comes out with some great stuff, not all of it is pro-Trump or pro-Republican (which is good) but it seems to be all pretty common sense stuff.

For me theres a huge difference between practical policies and ideological worldviews. In terms of practical policies I can easily align on many practical issues with moderate social democrats or christian democrats even, even if I do not share their ideology at all.

Now, is any of that suiting to my actual beliefs? No.

Its like just amongst the more sensitive approachs to various issues within the system that currently exist. That currently is. Even if I do fundamentally reject on such a deep level to a point where its just simply alien. You do no longer struggle or fight, because it isn't yours. So you can make the best of whats there. Which sometimes can give ways to more pragmatic and objective outsider approach, because you're not believing in many of its basic cultural and ideological tennants at all.

Unless of course you'd feel like to tear it all down for good and watch it burn...

Working in a corporate environment is a rather eye-opening lesson on human relations and cultural fits.

It's astounding how many international employees come off as absolute spergs (through no fault of their own) when navigating Corporate America.

- I'm not far left, seeing as I'm a capitalist social libertarian. Nor am I strictly an SJW; as I've repeatedly said elsewhere, I am a social justice bard.
- Pedophilia isn't illegal in the US, so it's not possible to legalize it. Sexual abuse of children is illegal and I am not in favor of changing that, nor have I said anything that would remotely suggest that.

Modern American liberalism right?

Also, stuff like this really reminds me of how polarised and factionalised politics is nowadays to the point where hating one aspect of a group of people results in you hating everything else they support.

It's almost assumed that we are some kind of hive mind or something.

Honestly with people spewing out NPCisms nowadays I'm pretty convinced that the reasoning capacity of humanity is declining because of numerous complicated factors. Groups of people being hive-minded is also a possibility as well. I'm not talking about people in NSG btw, I'm talking about people in general.
By the way, I define 'NPCisms' as not merely proof by assertion, but also repeated assertion in unrelated topics.

Yeah its quite astounding. Sometimes you can tell early on how a person is going to roll. Or not.

What causes the international employees though to do so?

Still claiming that is sick minded and five years don't claim sexuality, unless you have repeatedly it in your five year olds head. They are usually playing with toys!
