Yeah im new here and in my introduction post I mentioned that I come from a gaming forum that is almost entirely right-wing, I was essentially the only left-winger, so im sure some of their terminology has rubbed off on me. I take right-wing insults with pride, I actually agree with their "insults" and take them as compliments. I hear all of the people I disagree with on the right scream "COMMIE!!! DAMN SOCIALISTS TAKING OVER M'URICA!!!" and I suppose a natural reaction for people is "Im not a commie!!!" Well my reaction to that is "Indeed, I am a commie " For example, the more right-wingers scream at hippies the more I love hippies. I used to not have a opinion on gay marriage during highschool it just never really crossed my mind, but when I saw all my enemies on the right screaming how much they hate gay people I just about instantly began to support gay rights. I suppose I have the philosophy of "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" or something along those lines, so when I see my main enemy, right wingers, fighting against someone my natural reaction is to support their enemy and in many cases even adopt their enemies beliefs and incorporate them into my own. When people call me a "commie" or a "leftist", I dont see it as an insult, my apologies if I offended any of you by using right wing language.
