Reactionary Mind is an essential reminder that it's conservatism which is informed by liberalism and not the other way around. That's why it's so remarkable now that liberals are adopting Republican trappings, because they don't understand why they keep losing.

It's because the lanyard class things like rigging primaries to make sure candidates like former GOP military vet is a good plan especially because it appeases their donors.

which is amazing when they claim themselves victims

therefore if liberals claim themselves victims, they play something right out of the right wing textbook as JAR is doing, therefore liberalism starts to become indistinguishable from conservatism because they work within this frame of capitalism since they are largely center-right in approach to policies and how they appease so easily to conservatives.

If they enable, they're no different, and their bullying comes from passive aggressive delegitimization and toxic smear campaigns. Examples like Hillary starting the birther movement, JAR excoriating Bernie Sanders on merits other than policies which are ad hominems, the list goes on. They excuse it with "thats politics, thats how its supposed to be." when clearly things could stand to be a lot better if one would defer to policy making merits instead of dirty games.

You've got this backwards. Conservatives play the victim because they think they lost civil rights and the culture war, because minorities played the victim card and garnered enough sympathy to be mainstreamed. Being unfairly treated is presumed to carry a moral authority, but civil rights leaders of the past derived their moral authority from higher principles of justice, not from the fact that they weren't being guaranteed liberal freedoms. So in the end you have liberals and conservatives pretending to victimhood, without having any real vision of how society ought to be different.

Err backwards? I mean what you are saying makes sense but I'm saying that they're indistinguishable now even if the genesis falls squarely with the right wing.

It seems like they sell victimhood rather, in order to appeal to their bases who are the real victims and can identify with it from the impacts of policy making decisions perpetuated by third wayism as a result

Ah fair enough, ya I mean at this point it is what it is now. I guess I'm thinking about post-escalator liberals following the conservatives' lead, rather than 50 years in the making that is resultant of this toxic culture of passive aggressive victimhood

Yea, that's the 'callout culture is bad now' turn. They were some of its greatest practitioners, when it came to Bernie Sanders, but the moment it inconveniences them, is the moment they immediately swing right, and buy into 'pc gone mad' rhetoric.

The left is learning the hard way that certain liberals will cynically use issues of race and gender to shut down inconvenient arguments. It’s been a thing the right’s dealt with for a long time now (and part of the reason they get such a bug up their rear end about sjws) but now that the progressive movement is getting it too people are starting to take the issue more seriously. Which is good because I’m pretty sure the practice has given more credibility to bigots than anything else and it needs to be killed with fire.

I don't expect this alone to force a turn, but a turn is coming, or at least in the works imo. I 💯% expect, that this time next year, there'll be a lot of hand wringing by liberals of 'leftist intolerance' or some such.

Long term, the utility of callout culture to liberals will diminish, as the same process is used against them, and it therefore erodes the previous moral superiority complex that characterises liberalism.

The only way to retake the smugness high ground will be to say that the left took it to far and that's why we have Nazis now.

It's all personally very frustrating for me, because I've always thought callout culture was trash, but precisely because of its liberalism, and precisely because of its usage by social climbers to status signal.

So to see the very same status signallers talk some empty bullshit about how the attacks (on them) are proof that " :) it's time for us all to hold hands and move on, :) together, :) away from callout culture, :) now that it has inconvenienced me :) " leaves me with this deep rooted anger.
