Is the Somali brain capable of liberal thought?

[VixR]

Somalis are Democrats(Liberal) in the U.S because they believe in Socialism and second they believe Republicans are "racist". If Somalis were financially doing good and didn't believe conservatism wasn't racist, they would vote Republican by a large margin.

Yes, but if the participants answered the questionaire in light of their individual leanings, that would indicate the overwhelming liberalism presented by that graph isn't just an act? Or were the questions being answered opportunistically, bc there's a hilarious duality to that if they were

Wrong, it's possible!

Explain.

The horrors of people voting for their best interests. The democrats aren't socialists, they don't advocate seizing the means of production and the republican party might not be racists but they sure as hell do their best to accomodate them(i.e. The Southern Strategy).

I guess I should've said "Democratic Socialism"(Bernie's philosophy). Second, the southern strategy is from decades ago. Third, Republicans can't win without the minority vote either. They have tried and are trying to get minorities to join their party. I haven't seen anything "racist" in their modern ideology.

Somalia needs hardcore capitalism. Socialism only works in post-industrialized countries.
Lastly, since we have a Bantu problem it requires authoritarian measures to fix that.

Liberalism won't work in Somalia.

You have to remember being Muslim makes you a little fiscally left wing because certain beliefs such as the responsibility of the wealthy to share their riches with the poor is deeply ingrained.

Also the lack of stability and centralised government has made Somalis back home far more conservative than they may have been pre-war. It is nigh impossible to convince them to pay taxes now.

 

[OmarLittle]

I am a liberal person. Somalia needs to catch up with the world and to do that we need to accomodate the growing number of Somali Atheists.
Also you can't be liberal in the west and Alt-Right at home.

LOOL. From what I seen, Somalis do have some similarities with the Alt-Right. I guess any homogeneous society does.

Isn't Zakat a personal responsibility and not the state's? What's the point if the state is going to take 60% 70% of your earnings. Shouldn't the person donate with their heart to get the deed?

I agree with the first part but cmon dude how can you not see how hypocritical this is What if a statewide ban on muslims was instituted tomorrow, would you cry humans rights or would you pack up calmly?

Bernie was crushed by democratic establishment and looking at his propositions the guy is a nothing more than a run of the mill social democrat. The GOP has been pretty clear in not being interested in the minority vote with their strong focus on voter supression which usually ends up hurting the poor and minorities. The rethoric coming from their president-elect during the election coupled with his courting of far right groups is a pretty clear sign to any minority that it's not a party for them.

There is no ''one true ideology''. You have to adapt to circumstances.

Surely there has to be some basic principles that will always remain true. Like ethnic cleansing is wrong. I'm surprised German schools didn't teach you about this

Btw you still didn't answer my question

I wish we were like the alt-right because if we were wadankeena would be united and ours.

Yes but you have to pay Zakat. I am not sure how it would work in a Shari'ah like if you would face a penalty for avoiding zakaat. And where are you getting 60%/70% from? No Zakat is that high. If you're talking about tax, I just used that as an example of how conservative Somalis back home have become. The concept of handing over one dollar to the government is absurd to them --- when you're used to 100% of your income being yours due to no government, of course that will happen.

There are no basic principles in politics.

Postmodernism. There is no objective reality and absolute truth.

Postmodernism gave birth to identity politics and is a degeneracy, those propagating it are worthy of Gulag.

You're playing a dangerous game sxb. Plus I'm sure you broke like 500 Islamic rulings in that one post

It basically means there are no rules. You can do whatever you want. Hitler and his cronies were heavily influenced by the forefather of postmodernism, Nietzsche.

He deliberately twisted nietzsche's philosophy. Nietzsche himself was very anti nazi and Germany in general. And don't attach his name to that cancer of a movement called postmodernism

Nah fascism has it's roots in modernism, actually the horrors of WW2 made people disillusioned with modernism giving birth to postmodernism.
