As you probably know by now, I myself hold some positions typically regarded as leftist.
I support socialism and environmentalism, so long as they’re what I see as executed properly.
Where I take issue with liberals, and where a growing number of people from all sides of the political spectrums take issue with them, conservatives, independents, even from within the liberal party, is their anti-white, Christian male agenda, often masquerading as liberty and equality for women and minorities.
But moreover, it’s gotten worse, it’s gotten to the point where they no longer believe they owe us any debate or explanation now.
Anyone who disagrees with them, even in the slightest, even diehards from within their own ranks are immediately misconstrued, derided, vilified and branded a racist, homophobic, sexist, Islamophobic Nazi, and swiftly socio-politically ostracized.
I mean even if you staunchly disagree with conservatives, at least republicans these days generally have the decency to, just keep on explaining themselves and their position as best they can, without resorting to name-calling, defamation, slander, threats and other extreme underhanded tactics.
There’s an alarmingly growing sense of entitlement and mob mentality now, and it’s alienating more and more people from them.
It’s gotten way out of hand.
They can just say and do whatever they want.
X is accused of rape, you express any doubt whatsoever, you’re a rape apologist and so on.
This mentality has to stop, and if it doesn’t, we’re probably going to start seeing mob lynchings if we haven’t already.
Arguably conveniently for the economic establishment, liberalism has become less about the economy, which used to be quite literally their meat and potatoes, their bread and butter a few decades ago (‘it’s the economy, stupid’!), and more about protecting women and minorities from discrimination at any cost, including the cost of protecting men and the majority from discrimination, in fact, it has become plain discrimination against men and the majority, and it has got to stop!
Behind all this I think the elite is knowingly fanning and fuelling the flames at least, if not downright lighting them themselves, between women and minorities and men and the majority, as part of the ol’, divide and rule tactic, so they can continue looting us all left, right and center.
even socialists and capitalists can agree on some things at least.
We both think ‘crony capitalism’ or corporatism is bad, that megabanks and corporations shouldn’t be receiving corporate welfare, tax loopholes and so on.
Where we disagree is whether just eliminating the systemic and widespread corruption is enough.
I say it’s not, for starters corporations have been looting us blind for decades if not centuries now.
Merely removing the existing corruption is insufficient.
The corporations have been getting monstrously rich off this corruption for far, much too long.
They owe us trillions of dollars in reparations, but anyhow, at least it’s a starting point, and I think both socialists and capitalists can agree the central banks are completely corrupt and need to be destroyed.
