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.

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.
