Why Are People on the Internet So Liberal?

It makes you look better.

Online, liberals are much more vocal about their opinions.

Because there are facts on the internet......LOL, joking

Its because they're younger than the average population, they tend to be more liberal.

Some people find it easier to project their real beliefs through anonymity rather than IRL encounters I think it just also depends on the forumJust-Breathe

It does greatly depend on the forum. It also depends on the day. In poll threads here, sometimes conservative wins out, and in others, it's so liberal it would make Michael Moore uncomfortable.

Internet consists mainly of younger people. Younger people are usually more liberally. Ergo, the internet is mostly liberal.imaps3fanboy

Looking again it seems a little confusing to understand so my apologies.

Because older people generally aren't interested in the internet.

I'm apolitical and I seen a lot of apolitical people on these forums.

It all depends on where you look. If you are reading political articles, you see a lot of conservative trolls.

How come liberal is actually right wing?

Probably age related more than anything else.

Why do you people insist on calling left wingers liberal?? Government intervention and regulations is the opposite of liberal.

Liberal and progressive are used interchangeably. Get used to it.

Because written speech makes it easier to lay down arguments and the people who actually do have arguments that make sense are liberals.

I did not know socialism was a direct opposite to liberalism.

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] Left wingers are usually socially liberal but not fiscally liberal. In the US they call them libs because lots of them are also fiscally liberal, although the US has no proper left wing political ideology. All they have is shades of right IMO.iHarlequin

Conservatives generally are not smart enough to use the internet ;)kuraimen

Now you got it. ;)

Most people on the internet (especially video game forums) are young, and most young people are liberal.

Free flow of information typically lead to liberal ideologies.

Conservatism, at it's core has always been an established way of thought.That's why colleges and urban environments are also more liberal and less diverse areas are more conservative.

The internet is a liberal place. If it was conservative there wouldn't be any pornography

Conservatives tend to hang out in real life more.fidosim
