Blair is apparently a libertarian icon now or something, which is hilarious considering that when he was actually in power the narrative was "crazy New Labour passes 50 new prohibitions a day, bans squirrels!"

If any evidence was needed for the stupidity of libertarianism...

Yeah, but their stupidity was supposed to be in the direction of "well if someone wants to sell Uncle Joe's sippin' bleach and other people want to buy it then the government should get out of the way" and I can't see how Blair fits any of that, he was "twenty-seven new offenses a month" guy, he was the one that the tabloids loved to go on about how he'd banned breakfast cereal and you couldn't make it up.

Not all of those 27 a month were bad, and some of them were just tidying up of old vague laws with old dumb names, but I can't see how he isn't the furthest thing from a libertarian hero.

Then again one of his first acts was to support cutting welfare for single parents, so maybe that was enough to get their dicks hard and they forgot all the banning poo poo.

Looking at her tweets, uh.. No, she might claim to be liberal like Carlgon does, but she's GG trash, an anti-liberal centrist at best, center-right in effect.

No, you don't seem to get it. "Liberal" (as opposed to "Leftist") is now the left-wing equivalent of what Freepers and the like were calling "RINOs" in 2009. There's a left-wing version of the tea party that's currently growing on the left post-election. Populist, completely anti-compromise, and sorta stupid (not quite tea party stupid...yet, but give it time).

That might just be "the left" as America has hitherto been two varieties of economic liberal fighting over how socially draconian they should be.

The reason the left doesn't compromise with liberals economically is because the two are fundamentally antithetical, you can apply leftist critique to achieve liberal goals as a lot of it is pointing out that if you don't patch over the holes left by laissez faire economics then it'll bite you in the arse, and hence we get social democracy, but generally the fundamental goal is that liberals look to preserve the economic status quo and leftists look to change it.

And that seeps through into everything else, like political quizzes asking "Are you more Conservative or more Liberal?" which in the European sense means "would you prefer more national protectionism without redistribution or taking the regulatory brakes off without redistribution?" and I think the only answer to that is 'no'.

There's also the fact that the left has spent decades "compromising with" (aka ceding to) liberals and gotten less than dick-all for it - when the liberals weren't busy demonizing them or stabbing them in the back, that is. It's been a hard-learned lesson, and it remains to be seen whether it will actually stick this time.

And that's not a phenomenon found solely in the U.S., it's pretty common across the western world.

Please do not assume I agree with everything Christopher says.

I will ignore any comments that insist I should have asked him "tougher" questions. That's not my style (not even at the local slutwalk), and given the current media coverage of Christopher and Charlottesville, I felt he deserves to have his uninterrupted and unedited say somewhere.

Unsub if you must. Ignoring the problem will not fix anything. We need to understand where people like Chris are coming from if we are to head off an inevitable culture-wide clash between race-baiters on the ctrl-left and the alt-right. We need to understand that not everything they say is full of poo poo, and that they're just people, doing what people do.

From the comments:

quote:

Soo...cliffnotes for those who don't want to watch:


- Chris complains that other people are beating him up and not having a nice, reasonable conversation
- Chris claims racism is normal because half the country voted for Trump
- Just cause he loves to bring up statistics about IQ doesn't mean he hates Black people.
- Some Black woman that this dude was allegedly about to have a child with thought was going to hurt her and it "literally brought him to tears".
- He was chatting with one of his other alleged Black friends, a man by the name of "Bruce", who thought it was really funny that Chris wanted to kill everybody, when in fact, "Bruce" was the one that wanted to do such things (this is literally what Chris said, btw)
- He gets mad that people insinuate he wants to kill Jews when all he wants is to create a peaceful, White separatist utopia.
- He's a White Nationalist, and Separatist but he's NOT a Nazi and it makes him real sad/mad when people say such things.
- None of his guys fired their weapons and so should be commended for such restraint (no mention of the whole murdering a woman with a car thing)
- The city wanted him and his buddies to fire their weapons so that they could declare a state of emergency.
- He finds it "despicable" that the Left is associating him with Donald Trump - who he admires, and agrees with - for political gain.
- Referencing Milo, Chris used the words "sucking friend of the family dick", then apologized for using that term, to which Karen laughs it off and says "that's fine".
- Karen says that while she's not a White supremacist, nationalist or separatist, she feels that people who do believe those things are right to protect themselves due to the violent Left, and then said violent Left will "play the victim".
- Karen agrees that Trump said the right thing blaming both sides, while also making sure to point out that it was the Antifa only that were being violent and that the Nazis had a permit (the counter protesters also had permits, btw).
- Chris insists he doesn't know the dude who killed Heather Heyer, and says none of the people he knows is familar with him as well. That being said, he feels him killing that girl was totally justified.
- Chris has caused himself "a great deal of stress and trauma trying to understand all the terrible things going on in this world".
- Karen thinks it's "hilarious" that the White Nationalists are the more polite of the two competing factions. Reminder, Chris advocated for an ethno state and used the word "friend of the family". Also, immediately after Karen said this, he also called Leftists "retards.".
- Chris says that he and ilk "have a sense of decency and want to get along with people". Again, same guy who admitted he wants to create a country solely full of White people.
- When minorities become majorities, they can now proceed to continue claiming to be the victim while now also having most of the power. Unlike, you know, what White people like Karen and Chris do right now.
- Chris complains that he should be able to say that he doesn't want to share a system of government with minorities and wants to create a pure White utopia without having "his rear end kicked in the street".
- Chris argues that he went from libertarian to White Nationalist because liberals kept calling him racist.
- Chris also argues that he became a racist because other racists called him on his radio show and gave "well reasoned arguments", whereas the anti-racists just called in to tell him to die for being a racist.
- Chris desperately doesn't want to be a racist, but no one has given him a good enough reason not be.
- Karen's not a racist, but for whatever reason isn't bothering to sway Chris from being a racist.
- Chris thanks Karen for helping him "pick this concept apart". Hmm, weird. This dude and Karen seem to have a lot in common for some strange reason...

I be down with this if it didn't involve a) booting the people who live wherever Aryantopia ends up happening, and b) even odds of these asshats trying to attack a neighboring non-white country as soon as their shitstate starts to fail. I mean, there was almost a big issue when that one artificial island set up in the Pacific was inside another state's boundaries. Libertarians don't get that you don't just carve part of someone else's state away without them repeatedly shooting/stabbing you for being dumb enough to try.
