@TrevorGoodchild Him and Lindsay are just upset that more people are abandoning reasonable centrism and classic liberalism as they've become totally ineffective methods against the leftists. More right wingers are getting down in the mud with our ideological enemies and these guys are scared because it means they're irrelevant.
@TrevorGoodchild@PraxisOfEvil reminds me of that woman who was before him and she flamed out too. Seems to be an endless parade of people who want to come and "lead the right" or whatever and then get their panties in a bunch when people aren't willing to eat their shit opinions
@PraxisOfEvil Lindsay literally doxed a 1k twatter account because he got owned online. It would be funny to see the sounds little James makes as an icepick transects his spinal cord.
@sickburnbro@TrevorGoodchild What do they really offer? More principled losing? More moral superiority as you let your enemies disenfranchise you? That's what the GOP offered without Trump and people roundly rejected it.
@PraxisOfEvil@TrevorGoodchild What they offer is someone that you can in theory let handle all the problems. Which people in the past were willing to accept. Old public face does something stupid, they stand up someone new that doesn't have baggage, game continues.
But that method doesn't seem to be gaining a lot of traction now.
@sickburnbro@TrevorGoodchild That harkens back to the days when politicians were elder statesmen and Americans expected them to govern with a fair hand and deliver inspiring speeches. Those days ended in 2016, now everyone's a pudding brained commie or a deranged Zionist, whatever sheen of respectability the people in DC had is long gone, now is the time for retards.
@PraxisOfEvil@TrevorGoodchild yeah it's pretty wild. There used to be talk of whose "turn" it was, but it seems like the democrats threw that out for Obama in order to juice a win. Kerry was maybe the last one.
Now they decided to put a whore who got her start sucking dicks in SF up.
@TrevorGoodchild Lemme give you a Hotep perspective on the whole "Woke" thing. When you think of old-school woke, you generally think of a Hotep in a kufi; the stereotypical black conscious to "fight the power" (visa vie black power movements), or even going further back with the hippie movement for whites in the late 60s. There was some level of actual struggle against external forces (whether you agree with them or not).
I call that "Woke Classic"
Then, since Occupy Wall Street, Kony2012 (armchair activism), the advent of the Culture War, and Black Lives Matter, being Woke turned into kich corporate philanthropy.
Now, it seems like being "Woke" (what it's turning into), is a sign of not letting the prevailing authoritarian narrative be status quo (via H1Bs, Immigration, taxes, demographic shifts, what the layman's place in the world is, etc). Ironically, being "Woke" means being grounded, understanding, and living the layman's day to day life. Being woke now is not letting the whims of cosmopolitan Utopians shape your destiny.
@Bad_Banner@TrevorGoodchild this is really just standard loser GOP strategy of "let's use that bad word and attach it to the people to our right to stop them"
@sickburnbro@PraxisOfEvil@TrevorGoodchild BurgerLand is quickly reaching UK-levels of political class ineptitude. Even Dubya had a base of support for a while, now you can’t find anyone with an approval rating over 45%
@PraxisOfEvil@DW2@TrevorGoodchild what's interesting to note is what we saw with covid is that they are now starting to force professions to do their bidding and nuking public support for those professions.
@DW2@sickburnbro@TrevorGoodchild That's another thing to consider, politicians are actively ignoring policies that are extremely popular among Americans and clinging to the status quo. As a result their approval is in the toilet, just look at Congress. Then they get mad when someone like Trump who threatens to shake things up gets into power because they thought they could just profit off stock trading, cut Medicare, and launder foreign aid forever.
@sickburnbro@Bad_Banner@TrevorGoodchild Exactly. Nazi stopped working from the left, and alt right stopped working from the right. So, while the left is still without a new word to attack with, the "harder daddy right" chose to connect us with the word woke.
And it's as retarded as usual. On one hand, it might stick thanks for the common misunderstanding of the term by normie crowd, but since the woke is literally our strongest word to define the gender marxist left, I still believe it will cause a strong enough dissonance to be useless.
Although, some feminists are so stupid, that they don't know that Incel means virgin and they unironically believe, that it mens "hates women" instead, so I might be overestimating the IQ of the crowds as usual.
@TrevorGoodchild What makes him wrong ultimately is that BLM had cosmopolitan backing, they were backed by corporate American and tacitly by the American government.
Being against unfettered immigration (legal or Illegal) has no backing, because it doesn't serve the interest of Corporate and Government. Corporations and the US government need this because:
It props up the working population since US Citizens aren't having kids.
It creates lower standards which means lower cost.
Lower costs = bigger revenue.
To frame in a racial perspective is interesting, because the black population shrunk as well. It is no longer 13% of the population, it's less now. Black people are also impacted by immigration, poor or otherwise, because that's less resources from the State and even the economic sector. It fucks the average American citizens who are not corporate executives or government workers.
@sickburnbro@TrevorGoodchild Trump might be our last White straight male president and people need to prepare for that, kinda fitting he'd be the last avatar of White representation this country ever sees
Fascism is where you arrive at if you take "radical centrism" to its logical conclusion instead of just using it as an edgy cope label for fence sitting.
