I think your definition is more of the Hillary Clinton branch. But modern day Liberals are more represented by people like Andrew Yang, Bernie, AOC.

i think the problem is that for the rest of the world liberalism means free market capitalism and freedom to do whatever you want as an individual. and in america liberal means the left / "socialism". and they call that what? libertarians?
it's either that or they were talking about the left before the woke era.

 

[M1chl]

Right winger means conservative. My mistake it's an American term.

I would say not at all, I would wages that it's at least 50/50. If we take this from the both far of the spectrum, I would also say that most generally people who game are around center.

 

[Tomofdahook17]

I used to like Greg MIller. But after he kicked out Colin Moriarty for being a conservative that really showed his true colors. Over the years I kind of looked past that he did that. But now he's just turning really SJW and cringe. Fuck him, do you really think he gives a shit about black people, black history or MLK? I'm sure he's compared the BLM movement to MLK and as far as I'm concerned if you do that you don't actually care about black people and you've never studied history in your life.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Ugh, why?

 

[Barry Burton]

Stunning and brave.

 

[mckmas8808]

That's why I left it, personally. They manipulate people with their algorithms.

I'm still on social media, but my input into conversations have went down BIG TIME! Mainly due to the fact that you aren't having "real" conversations about important issues on there. Plus those algorithms make any point you have null in void, because people will continue to get fed BS everyday.

I assumed to juxtapose the two images...one of a true social rights hero in a time of great injustice, against a guy (internet personality) making this big song and dance about changing his bio to include pronouns...mostly for attention.

Almost everything on twitter is disingenuous.

Oh okay. That makes sense.

Hating SJWs, Progressives, and the Alt-left isn't a right wing thing. There are a lot of Democrats who hate the left of their party, and a metric shit ton of moderates who hate identity politics and vapid social justice junk. Add all the "right wingers" to that, who by and large are good honest people, and you can see how many people are against that stuff.

Being an SJW is a minority position, and just about everyone that isn't in their cult thinks they are annoying mouthy twats. Its hilarious when one pops up at a party, or get together, and everyone immediately starts talking shit about them because they JUST WONT SHUT UP. Luckily their ilk are rare here in the south so I can pretend they don't exist for the most part.

Plus the "Anti-Woke" crowd is also in the minority. The anti-woke extremists that think caring about anybody or any culture that's not White\Straight\Male is equally as small as the super look at me "woke" crowd. Most of us are somewhere in the middle and lean one way or another for the most part.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

People like Greg gives me trust issues. The guy is a total twat.

 

[Entroyp]

I like Greg. He's a happy and enthusiastic gamer unlike many sad, grey, and miserable assholes out there.

 

[DeepEnigma]

He can join Talcum X!

 

[Bryank75]

I like Greg. He's a happy and enthusiastic gamer unlike many sad, grey, and miserable assholes out there.

I welcome other takes here, it wasn't meant to be a pile on.

I just don't like some of the things he's done. There's no hate.

 

[Entroyp]

Agreed. I'm not sure what's he's been up to since I just stick to the gaming content.

 

[mckmas8808]

I like Greg. He's a happy and enthusiastic gamer unlike many sad, grey, and miserable assholes out there.

This is why I love Greg Miller and his gaming podcast. Funny enough I still listen to the Giant Bombcast to get some of my sad and miserable gamer takes too though. But I LOVE Greg's enthusiasm. His and the DLC podcast with Jeff Canata and Christian Spicer are wonderful because they actually love, liking videogames and aren't skeptical of every thing that happens in gaming.

Agreed. I'm not sure what's he's been up to since I just stick to the gaming content.

This is why I ONLY follow gaming podcast from my gaming podcasters. I don't listen to their non-gaming stuff, because it might ruin my opinions of them.

No. I'm just holding on to the definition of what a Liberal is. Yang, Bernie, AOC, Biden, Harris and what not aren't liberals. They are progressives. There is a big difference.

 

[Unknown?]

No. I'm just holding on to the definition of what a Liberal is. Yang, Bernie, AOC, Biden, Harris and what not aren't liberals. They are regressives. There is a big difference.

Fixed that for you.

 

[RasAlGhoul]

Fixed that for you.

I can accept that change

 

[MrS]

Guy is a piece of shit and always has been.

 

[DeeDogg_]

I hated Greg before it was cool

he's a giant man baby with 0 testosterone and testies

 

[kyussman]

Regular dudes doing the whole pronoun thing will never stop being hilarious to me.....transgender people feeling the need to let people know what gender they consider themselves makes sense....a bunch of men who have always been men and will always be men wanting in on the action seems silly as fuck to me.

I can understand why Greg does it. Aint no one looking at him and thinking he's a man .

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I generally dislike the bulk of gaming journalism but Greg Miller definitely takes the cake in terms of representing how pathetic games journalism is.

The man is pure cringe and he disparaged ZombiU. Unforgivable.

Edit-
Greg Miller is the kind of guy that thinks Star Wars is some esoteric film series and not owned by Disney. He's also the type of guy that thinks wearing Chuck Taylor's is obscure and uncommon.

One of the few guys if I ever met I would just throat punch and be done with it.

 

[angelic]

He'd suck a cock to win a sack race

 

[Raimond]

Is this the asshole that betrayed his co-host?

Yessss. Lol I didn't have to scroll far down to see this one lol

There are neoliberals, Libertarians, and Liberals.
The definition you provided sounds a lot like neoliberals.

Liberals are for big government aka socialism.

libertarians aren't taken seriously by any side in America.

Biden and Harris are not in the same bracket as Yang and Bernie. Biden and Harris are closer to the Clintons on the political spectrum.

I would consider Bernie, AOC, Yang as progressives and Harris and Biden as more center left.

 

[SupremeHoodie]

as i said. just in america

In North America as whole imo. Liberal is more of a social policy indicator and less economic here.

That's not the definition of a liberal in America. Plus conservatives are for big government too. It's just different parts of the government than what liberals want. Plus, you'd be surprised how much conservatives in America like socialism *like* things if you remove the label.

Oh yeah I agree. Both are big government in America.

Also yes, progressive policies have high approval if you remove the political labels for the right wingers.

it's like those southern republicans that collect welfare checks but hate on democrats getting welfare. lol

 

[BbMajor7th]

In North America as whole imo. Liberal is more of a social policy indicator and less economic here.

I mean, I think there's general conflation in mainstream discourse: from and a broader political and economic perspective liberalism and socialism are natural opposites, where liberalism favours small government, individual liberty and deregulation. Social policy is traditionally discussed in terms of progressive vs. conservative. Conversation gets muddled for this reason.

 

[oagboghi2]

This video is just wrong. To say Greg is irrelevent to gamers is just a lie. It's okay to not like Greg, but his company is making moves and they do matter to the industry (as much as a podcast\network can).

Oh yes, they matter as much as any podcast that will drink the cum of any developer/publisher that crosses their way.

But to anyone who doesn't care to spend their time listening to glorified advertisers chuck their shit for hours, they don't offer that much.

I think your definition is more of the Hillary Clinton branch. But modern day Liberals are more represented by people like Andrew Yang, Bernie, AOC.

Hillary Clinton is a liberal dude. Stop this nonsense.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

I think the idea is that by making it commonplace to announce your pronoun, transgender people feel more comfortable announcing theirs, as well as also being a deter to confusion. It may prevent you from hooking up with a hot trans in the future, so be thankful. No, but seriously, I don't do it myself and won't be anytime soon. If other people want to announce their pronoun everywhere they go, so be it.

 

[MagnesG]

I've objectively consumed their daily KFG podcasts for like 3-4 episodes. Most of the time the whole team's obnoxious as fuck, they don't have a clue on what they're saying in general. Like fake gamers organizing a talk show rambling this and that.

idk man maybe because it was a liberal team doing it full of woke topics sprinkled in.

 

[PlayStaytion]

The fanboy of all fanboys.

 

[JORMBO]

This is what happens to people who get 90% of their social interaction from social media and the internet.

 

[isoRhythm]

I don't really like the guy and he creeps me out a bit (although the anthem video was hilarious), but I had no idea so many other people disliked him .

 

[SupremeHoodie]

Hillary Clinton is a liberal dude. Stop this nonsense.

She's literally a liberal in the minds of only conservatives. Progressives don't view her the same as Bernie or Yang. She's a Warhawk centrist.

 

[oagboghi2]

She is a liberal in every sense of the word. It doesn't matter what some "progressives" think.

 

[spawn]

I really don't care about him. I've seen some of his reviews on IGN and he had or still has a Playstation podcast that I've seen once or twice. I don't follow him on Twitter because I'm sure it's a bunch of nonsense.

 

[replicant-]

The only thing not false about Miller is his ego and capacity to shill.

He would literally praise [insert publisher] one day for a $ and slate them the next day for another $. Zero integrity.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Thread title is an insult to MLK Jr.

Also, I can never decide which of the following buckets Greg falls into - possibly both?

• Perpetually on the verge of declaring he is 'coming out' or 'transitioning'
• Sexual predator who uses his white knight façade to take advantage of others

 

[SupremeHoodie]

She is a liberal in every sense of the word. It doesn't matter what some "progressives" think.

In some alternate reality sure. She is a centrist by every definition.

 

[junguler]

i think putting pronoun in the bio is a retarded thing to do but i would do it if it really helped people, but i have yet to see the proof of that.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

In some alternate reality sure. She is a centrist by every definition.

She is a conservative in every sense of the word.

 

[StateofMajora]

Ignoring his wokeness, Greg Miller sucked at IGN. I lost interest in anyone from that site near the end of the PS2/GCN/Xbox era.

I kinda liked Matt and some on ign Wii but that was it lol

can't spell ignorant without ign

Miller was an insufferable Sony fanboy

 

[Reavr]

Who the fuck cares? This kind of thread is almost the same "eww a conservative" shit-soup Era does, but the other end of the spectrum.

 

[Gold_Loot]

Who the fuck cares? This kind of thread is almost the same "eww a conservative" shit-soup Era does, but the other end of the spectrum.

You're right. No one should care. Thing is though, Greg had to signal the virtue horn and let it be known how great of a thing he's doing for the world. If he had just modified his profile on his own time, no one would be batting an eyelash.

 

[mckmas8808]

Who the fuck cares? This kind of thread is almost the same "eww a conservative" shit-soup Era does, but the other end of the spectrum.

100% correct here!

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

This guy has over a million Twitter followers and yet his YouTube channel has horrendous engagement. How is this possible? Did he buy followers on Twitter? Jim Cornette, a niche wrestling personality from the 90s, has more engagement on YouTube. I don't understand who his audience is.

Is kindafunny doing poorly?

 

[mckmas8808]

This is what happens to people who get 90% of their social interaction from social media and the internet.

I agree with this. Social media is a wonderful thing, but this is the down side of it. It warps the minds of people that don't really know themselves and how the world works.

She is a liberal in every sense of the word. It doesn't matter what some "progressives" think.

She leans American liberal, but she's more of a left-centrist.

 

[oagboghi2]

In some alternate reality sure. She is a centrist by every definition.

She takes the leftist position on every policy decision. Her main campaigns when she was younger was attempting to implement universal health care. She became a new york senator pushing various left wing positions.

I know in reddit and internet fantasy land any democrat that isn't a full blown marxist or pretending to be trans is considered a "centrist" (as if you people know what that word means) but in reality she is a traditional leftist, whether in America or overseas
