Bust Rodd posted:I know a lot of people think David Hogg is an annoying dweeb (because he was almost murdered at school and decided to become a gun control activist, I don’t get how anyone could be upset about that, TBH, but people are morons) but he gave an interview recently that was like “ever since starting my work, the one thing that remained the same in any state I worked in is that the the left are basically disparate herds of cats who refuse to cooperate with each other, whereas the GOP are organized like SEAL Team 6 and are always collaborating and working together and sharing between themselves.” and it makes me wonder to what degree the issue is individual egos ruining leftist projects, some level of sabotage, or something else. Why don’t we want to work together? A huge part of what troubles left orgs is that left organizers are driven by questions of moral weight and justice. A bad outcome or even a shift of emphasis can equate, for a lot of people, to real injustice being done. (A nice point of comparison is to think about how minor breaks in theology have resulted, at various points in history, in mass bloodletting.) When you come from an epistemological place in which there's only one right answer and you have it, it's easy to fall into infighting with people who share your vocabulary and theoretically could be convinced that you're right rather than focus on your real enemies. Contrast this to the right, which is animated by a desire to seize and execute power over people the right deems its enemies and inferiors. That is a way more efficacious way to coordinate people. It draws a much wider, cleaner circle between in-group and out-group and then gets to dominating that out-group.

Phone posting so I can't get into it at length, but the Right naturally has money and power and social approval on its side, so there's already an establishment for you to slot into. You don't have to organize poo poo, you don't even have to think of yourself as a political actor, you just go to your desk job bringing the extinction of the human species closer and closer

The right, broadly speaking, has a way more concise and easy to achieve goal than the left: “more money and power for us, gently caress you”. The ‘us’ varies from age to age, and the methods to get power also vary but that’s what makes it resilient. On the other hand, the left’s underlying goal: “the emancipation of all mankind from exploitation and want, and harmony between all lives on the planet” is quite a bit harder to grasp, and as broad as their goal is, their allowed methods to achieve this goal are far more proscribed than the right’s.

The republicans are the minority party in a political system that favours the minority party. I don’t see it as that complicated.

Also the right infights all the time, just as much as the left and even the center. Infighting is everywhere, it's a natural part of the human experience.

Sorry guys, but I'm bustin' with Rodd on this one. I don't really give a poo poo if people like David Hogg and Greta Thunberg repeat lame liberal talking points. Like, what are your expectations for these people in the first place? You sound like 90s teens talking about how you wanna kill Barney the Purple Dinosaur for being so annoying.

If their solution boils down to elections/voting they are not worth seriously engaging with and can be safely ignored.

It’s completely free to listen to someone say that climate change and gun violence are bad and we should do something about them. I have no idea why you’d be upset or offended by this, especially when it’s not like there are any adults talking about it
