Why the Left Thinks the Right are All Nazis


Just today, I stumbled upon this two-year old thread that is such an incredible insight into many of the same topics I explore, I have to commandeer it for my collection and future reference.

I now realize why liberals believe that everyone to right of Stalin is an actual Nazi:

They think the right is intersectional.

/1

The left is intersectional. If you support a liberal cause, you must support every adjacent cause. Those who don't are driven out. Liberal activists jostle to get their pet causes adjacent to the most popular/protected/well funded causes.

/2

To wit, in order to be a good feminist, one must also be a trans ally, an environmentalist, a BLM ally, etc.

This is how we got pro-abortion evangelicals. They have to toe the feminist line, or lose thier cred with the minorities.

Intersectionalism deranges institutions.

3/

But here's the thing. Leftists assume that right-wingers do this too. They imagine that the KKK is adjacent to gun rights, or that Hitler is at the intersection of small government and pro-life.

Conservatives laugh at loud at this, but liberals are dead serious about it.

/4

This led them to conflate the grandmas and grandpas of the Tea Party with the skinheads of Aryan Nations. It concealed the reason Trump won from them (hint: it's not racism). It causes them to attack free speech, one of the foundation blocks of liberty.

/5

But the right *isn't* intersectional. Some elements on the extreme right are, but they are a tiny minority. For most of us, politics is a cafeteria, and our choices are largely informed by principle. A conservative can be stanchly pro-life, but think that the Klan is vile.

/6

It seems bizarre to have to explain this, but liberals not only won't get it, they'll disbelieve it.

But here's the rub: right-wing intersectionalism may not exist yet, but it *could*.

/7

Intersectionality is a cynical but effective movement born out of powerlessness and minority status. Leftist activists of the last century aligned in order to achieve their goals. They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

/8

The left controls almost all institutions: government (save, briefly, the Executive Branch), the media, education, entertainment, big business, and-maddeningly-now the church. They won.

But nothing is forever, and the right has woken up.

/9

(Which is why you got Trump, BTW.)

/10

The right-wing resistance is still organizing. Having reached the limits of the strategies that elected Trump, and having their speech and assembly curtailed by the above-mentioned institutions, they are searching for alternatives. Intersectionality will be very appealing.

/11

(This is how you get real Nazis, BTW. Nazis with loads of money, guns, land, and skills.)

/12

Nobody wants this.

/13

What's the solution? I don't have one, but abandoning and forever renouncing intersectionality would be very, very, wise for all involved. Don't think so? Spend a few days reading about the Weimar Republic and get back to me.

/14

Final thought: intersectionality is actually the inverse of principle. If you're intersectional, you're a puppet, and your master csn make you do anything, even compromise your core beliefs.

This is why I say that Liberals will be pro-child sex within 10 years.

/15

Yes, you will. Your principles matter not at all. Your allies decide your morals for you.

/16

Takeaway: don't be intersectional. Ever.

Unless you want Nazis.

The Real Reason Why Are Trucks Getting Bigger

Image
It's not "ego." It's a claim that you encounter a lot—an insult really—that people are buying bigger and bigger trucks to compensate for… something. Here's one particularly cringeworthy example, because the person making it doesn't seem to realize the go-kart he's praising doesn't meet US emissions standards.  whenever americans say that they *need* a massive pickup truck that gets 12mpg just show them the Subaru Sambar utility vs. ego pic.twitter.com/NqexDbQcok — sam (@sam_d_1995) May 11, 2022 In response, a lot of people will defend their big truck purchase by saying they need a larger vehicle for their family, their business, or just because they like it. And to an extent, market forces are partly responsible for the increase in truck sizes, particularly when it comes to features like crew cabs. But it turns out that even a lot of people who like the big trucks don't know the full story of how their trucks got so big. The rest of the story

Romney’s Pro-Life Position Not So New

Also: Say hello to the “Sev-Con” There’s a NYTimes article out over the weekend that is all the buzz today. The pull-quote du jour is by former Mitt Romney strategist Mike Murphy, who told National Review in 2005 that Romney "is a pro-life Mormon faking it as a pro-choice friendly." The preferred pick-apart is that this proves Romney will say and do anything to get elected. And, I admit, it certainly sounds damning. If nothing less, it was a poor choice of words. But this is old news. At the time Murphy issued a statement saying he had been misquoted. I’d say the facts support Murphy’s side of the story. The Times article tries to make more ado about Romney’s pro-life journey than there is. In 1994, when he ran against Ted Kennedy, he did not shy away from his personal opposition to abortion but positioned himself by saying “my personal beliefs, like the personal beliefs of other people, should not be brought into a political campaign.” He lost that race. In 2001, Romney e

The Gaffe that Almost Wasn’t

Image
The smear campaign against Cain continues   By now the internet, radio, television, and wagging tongues everywhere are all abuzz over the latest campaign blunder by Herman Cain. But is it really the gaffe everyone says it is? Or was it a selective editing job a la Ed Shultz ? Well, call me cynical, but I’ve seen enough media shenanigans to be suspicious of anything taken out of context and this definitely tripped my radar. In the clip that has gone viral (below), Cain does appear to be caught off-guard by a question on Libya, a topic he ought to have been ready for. My first reaction was to wonder how many clips like this land on editing room floors instead of online. In a world used to hyper-slick video and equally slick candidates, a moment of thought gathering can seem disastrous. Still, this isn’t about a some candidate’s “senior moment.” Rather, it is about a hatchet job gone awry. This clip was released by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel along with the entire half-hour interview
