nah poo poo hasn't gotten bad enough for the centrists and liberals to be faced with the choice of going full fash, right now they think the way to get back to the old order where things were safe and comfortable is to get rid of trump

if poo poo continues to get worse after getting rid of trump more of them will start getting into fashy poo poo

i kinda wonder. centrists, yeah, they'll flip fash, but are there really that many liberals left that aren't just reds that haven't been radicalized yet?

i don't think it's a good strategy to assume people will flip this way or that. i was at an organizing workshop last weekend and they had this thing

you <---- inactive sympathizers <---- centrists <---- inactive sympathizers <---- them

point being you plan a strategy to move everything left. the inactive sympathizers become active supporters, the centrists become inactive sympathizers etc. etc. etc. and the point isn't to convince the enemy on the opposite that they're wrong, but to get them in a place where they're not active (though they still hate you).

thus, the fact that many nazi sympathizers on the right moved to the "both sides are bad" centrist middle post-charlottesville is a positive sign. and it's not inevitable centrists will go right.

To convince centrists to flip you only have to convince them you are here to restore stability and prosperity. It's easier for Fascists to do overall, but not impossible for the left to accomplish either, it's why Charlottesville was big because the nazi's failed to make centrists feel secure, and it's why they're trying to constantly organize around a veneer of respectability because image means a lot to a centrist. It's also why the right and fascists want to "trigger" people publicly and then rightly or wrongly accuse them of being "the left".

Our nazis and right are doing an unspeakably, and unusual good job of looking like lunatics though.

I maintain that the combination of 4chan going fash and donald trump getting elected essentially threw off a plan to have ted cruz or someone run in 2020 on a dominionist/fascist campaign. But the whole thing got let out of its test tube early and is now shambling around like a cronenberg monster

the closest i have come to accelerationism is acknowledging that the election of donald trump allowed us to dodge a gigantic bullet named R-The End Of Days, Manifest And Glorious, 2020

Well it was Cruz's 2016 plan except he made three mistakes: he, like everyone else, underestimated Trump and when Trump grabbed the far-right lane Ted wanted Cruz didn't check Trump in time; he didn't realize that Trump was essentially bulletproof and nothing he said/did was going to hurt Trump with his base; and once evangelicals, who Cruz figured were going to be the bedrock of his base, broke hard for Trump Cruz was SOL.

President Cruz is all of the bad things of Trump being in charge minus the staggering incompetency. We got lucky.

The Republicans can count on about the same amount of people voting for any of their candidates, but Hillary couldn't get anyone to Pokemon Go to the polls

Cruz is viscerally repulsive on a gut level, which is probably the most decisive factor in why evangelicals embraced Trump instead.

latest Lovett or leavit had cruz's ex dorm mate telling stories and tbh most of them were regular lovely dorm mate stories. like took early classes, kept hitting the snooze button until the room mate glued it stuck

Best one was how ted was friendless well into freshman year and the basketball guYs on his floor invited him to play poker. he jumped at it and they cleaned him out week after week until he ratted and out their game to the administration

nuzzi said this re milo, nothing on coulter tho :thunk:

quote:

When I first became aware of Milo, he was a flamboyant anti-feminist troll--I don't think the "alt-right" existed yet. I obviously didn't anticipate then that Milo would come to be associated with nazis. We interacted a bunch on Twitter, as people are now gleefully pointing out, and I remember emailing a bit with him and Mitchell--but not as part of any kind of long running email group with people like Ann Coulter. I thought Milo was entertaining and interesting then, I'm sure you remember that he was becoming kind of a media curiosity. We didn't continue to communicate like that as the campaign went on and the alt-right developed and Milo evolved into what he ultimately became, though. Even covering the campaign and eventually covering the alt-right somewhat, Milo was never a resource for me--beyond citing his Breitbart article wherein he explained what the alt-right was, which I did here.
