This is the proto-nazis being legitimised by the current thought fads around.
I think the far left have gone so far left the Integer overflowed and they suddenly ended up on the far right and haven't worked it out yet.
Nazis and Communists are very different animals with very different goals and motivations. About all they have in common is not abstaining from violence and actually
lefty welfare policies. There was a video a few years ago of American students cheering Hitler quotes when they were told it was Obama. But that's where similarities end, because in a nutshell, the former believe that they will win because they are strong enough to just win while the latter believe that they will win because they are right. Well, history shows that both positions are dubious. But anyway, Nazis fight for themselves and their kin and make no secret of it, Bolsheviks unironically believe that they are fighting for everybody, save a few horrible people.
Learn to spot the difference, because it's fashionable to shit on Nazis for all the obvious reasons, but people really have a trouble with shitting on social justice warriors before it's too late.
If you look at Zach Goldbergs twitter you'll see some data he's been looking at regarding media/twitter. Here is a sneek peek. Essentially the way the media is fighting the lack of relevance is by writing news with an agenda for a specific audience rather than for america in general. At least that's what I got from it.
Nice, but there is not a single thing which "Americans in general" have in common anymore. Certainly not a concept of future that they would all want to share. It went to shit in the 60s when a parallel reality had been created of people who showed the finger to everything that came ever before and convinced themselves that they are the future, without actually having eliminated the enemy.
I think the reason you (mostly) avoided blood so far is because the "rednecks" hoped that the "hippies" will repent, and I know for a fact the "hippies" surely hope that the "rednecks" will go extinct. Both sides are heavily entrenched on their positions and finally losing patience, it seems. They also don't have much choice because their ways of life are utterly incompatible with each other.
IMHO you guys should have listened to McCarthy and Bezmenov when they warned you. Now it seems the West is losing the Cold War basically, 30 years after the East lost it too. Such are the miraculous powers of radical leftism.
you miss the days when the Whitenormative Patriarchal Social Order enforced a certain degree of cultural and ideological uniformity
Exactly the opposite. I miss the times when you could get more than one view of events. When you could actually see and listen to discussions where the opponents had totally different viewpoints, but explained their reasons for the differences, instead of asserting correctness and the evility of their opponent.
Yep, you miss the days when everybody agreed on the basic principle that people are fundamentally the same and all disagreements can be resolved by dialogue. You miss the Invisible Hand of The White Man which made you (plural) believe it and act it out. Because the White Man really believed it and enforced it, and allowed Commies to enjoy their freedom of speech, and Nazis to enjoy theirs, and Brown People to immigrate in numbers never seen before, and Green Aliens to immigrate without even showing their ID, and I'm not sure if all of that was actually a good idea.
White supremacists call Poles "niggers of Europe". Perhaps I should be glad we aren't White People ourselves
(I'm kidding myself, we are equally fucked but a few decades behind).
