i dunno dropping all of the party line democrat bullshit has made it way easier for me to enjoy the things that are deemed absolutely haram as cultural appropriation and speak to people like human beings instead of doing some mental algebra on what is acceptable or not to say according to the Identity Politics Handbook

same... well, minus the dating the imwithher, i was hooking up with some haole chick who i only met because she didn't want to fail her classes, otherwise she just stayed in and played wow and poo poo :v:

i was getting pretty into the whole modern white man's burden ideology, but then one day i realized i was harboring a seething ill will towards my best friend in the entire goddamn world for telling an off-color joke once. in that moment, i knew i, and everything i was being told, couldn't have been more wrong.

I used to be against the Cleveland Indians logo.

I found out I was part native american. Now? I find it weirdly cool because I too have a dumb rear end grin like Chief Wahoo. I'm more disheartened that the Native Americans that share my blood are treated like poo poo like at DAPL, etc than a stupid logo.

It's amazing how people naturally drift towards the GOP when they realize they're racist, huh

Really makes ya think

quote:

The alt-right’s ground force did not come from “right wingers”, it came from the left. The Alt-Right isn’t a conservative movement, it’s a social state tax-revolt. They aren’t “taking advantage of infighting” as certain leftists fear. They are leftist infighting.

People keep making a big deal of the Alt-Right being “identitarian”, as though this were a bizarre thing to have occurred. It isn’t. It’s completely consistent with their origin. Their “ideological core” might be actual right-wingers, but that’s completely immaterial. Most of them don’t have an “ideology”. They’re there to piss off the left. They may claim allegiance to [older racists], but this is the same way the Left adheres to Judith Butler. A bunch of illiterate peasants joined the Soviets when they wanted to fight the Czar – do you think that they’d all carefully selected Bolshevism when they went ideology hunting? Those with common enemies close ranks regardless of origin.

http://www.unz.com/article/the-decline-and-rise-of-the-alternative-right/

the modern alt right is the result of the hybridization of a conservative reaction against bush and the neocons and leftist reaction against their own excesses. it appropriates the ideology of the original alternative right, the buchanan style paleocons, but is mainly animated by spite and what it opposes rather then what it is.

the description of it as a social tax revolt is one of the better characterizations Ive heard.

There's no discernible difference between antifa and the alt-right (both irrational lefties, right?) but Richard Spencer is definitely a nazi.

"serious" political discourse is currently defined as the kind of opinion that you would hear at a K Street cocktail hour. if you're the kind of person who would never be invited to one, then your opinion will never be "serious"

people do destructive things when frustrated and frustration is the correct response to a system designed to shut you out

I had a friend/co-worker who dealt weed out of his apartment and he was a cool guy but severely libertarian and sometimes he'd get into these rants about how even the sick and infirm can find jobs turning a crank somewhere and it was like yikes

He ended up moving home after his roommate stole tens of thousands of dollars from him and moved out suddenly
