As time progresses and they die off, Texas will flip blue without even giving illegals the right to vote

2019-10-17 16:05:55 UTC

I love the visual representation of the generations

2019-10-17 16:06:28 UTC

one-note asexual worker; businessman; hippie; lazy kid

2019-10-17 16:07:01 UTC

Most of the generations are retarded

2019-10-17 16:07:09 UTC

Boomers, millennials and zoomers

2019-10-17 16:07:20 UTC

I mean the zoomers do some retarded shit to be honest

2019-10-17 16:07:28 UTC

Zoomer is gen z?

2019-10-17 16:07:33 UTC

Licking ice cream and putting it back, eating tide pods

2019-10-17 16:07:35 UTC

Yeah

2019-10-17 16:07:39 UTC

haha lol

2019-10-17 16:07:41 UTC

Gen z = zoomer

2019-10-17 16:07:50 UTC

I think they did that 100 years ago, too

2019-10-17 16:07:58 UTC

Just didn't have the equipment to film themselves

2019-10-17 16:08:20 UTC

Was more of a bro thing

2019-10-17 16:08:26 UTC

Their little cliques

2019-10-17 16:08:49 UTC

Fair enough but itโ€™s still very very autistic

2019-10-17 16:10:16 UTC

Anyway, there is a lot of socialists that would fight

2019-10-17 16:10:33 UTC

You would see conflict on racial, religious and ideological lines

2019-10-17 16:11:32 UTC

The biggest would be the racial line because ideology and religion only seems to be in one group, but even then communists blacks tend to be very very anti white

2019-10-17 16:12:16 UTC

It's weird that it's so hard to predict between which factions the next war is gonna break out

2019-10-17 16:13:02 UTC

Well there is a lot of factions, you just have to keep in mind their are trying to win power

2019-10-17 16:13:15 UTC

So theyโ€™ll work in their best interests

2019-10-17 16:13:25 UTC

Thatโ€™s why I think coalitions would form up

2019-10-17 16:13:44 UTC

Only if forced to do so

2019-10-17 16:14:06 UTC

The oppression pyramid is such a big thing right now

2019-10-17 16:14:27 UTC

That's the only reason why Trump has a realistic chance to win another election

2019-10-17 16:14:35 UTC

All that infighting

2019-10-17 16:15:13 UTC

Itโ€™s amazing how the left has managed its coalition

2019-10-17 16:15:23 UTC

Because itโ€™s so fucking unstable

2019-10-17 16:15:48 UTC

They think they have a real, common enemy

2019-10-17 16:16:06 UTC

You have to think, the Hispanics, Muslims, Jews, blacks and even inside and outside of the LGBTQ squad they all dislike each other on some level

2019-10-17 16:16:10 UTC

What do you think why that racism/WN rhetoric is popping up everywhere rn

2019-10-17 16:16:25 UTC

Because the media is pushing it for the next elections, to have a common enemy for the voters

2019-10-17 16:16:52 UTC

One one hand they have to demonize whites to keep the coalition going but on the other hand theyโ€™re making the devil they hate so much real

2019-10-17 16:17:06 UTC

So basically a dead end idea

2019-10-17 16:17:10 UTC

The LGBT even dislike one another

2019-10-17 16:17:14 UTC

Yep

2019-10-17 16:17:16 UTC

ContraPoints cancelled

2019-10-17 16:17:24 UTC

Bisexual implies two sexes

2019-10-17 16:17:36 UTC

Contrapoints is but a example

2019-10-17 16:17:42 UTC

Well...

2019-10-17 16:17:43 UTC

A big one

2019-10-17 16:17:57 UTC

If they can cancel that... dude, sorry not sorry, then they can cancel anyone

2019-10-17 16:18:15 UTC

Yeah

2019-10-17 16:18:37 UTC

What I'm worried about is that their tactics also work against libertarians/right-wingers

2019-10-17 16:18:42 UTC

And conservatives

2019-10-17 16:18:47 UTC

Like Milo for example

2019-10-17 16:19:11 UTC

They just use a slightly modified tactic, they let us eat ourselves

2019-10-17 16:19:27 UTC

Not sure if that's some level of self-awareness or idk

2019-10-17 16:20:35 UTC

They didn't cancel her genuinely though

2019-10-17 16:20:52 UTC

It was a consensual act by Contrapoints himself

2019-10-17 16:21:16 UTC

I don't recall the name of this phenomena, but it is a tactic of pushing the overton window

2019-10-17 16:21:25 UTC

Salami tactic?

2019-10-17 16:21:28 UTC

By introducing more "radical" elements

2019-10-17 16:21:29 UTC

No

2019-10-17 16:21:30 UTC

Not that

2019-10-17 16:21:48 UTC

Oh

2019-10-17 16:21:51 UTC

I see what you mean

2019-10-17 16:21:59 UTC

Basically, the idea is to add more radical elements to your group, so that you appear a saner alternative within your own group

2019-10-17 16:22:19 UTC

That'd be pretty sick self-awareness and good planning

2019-10-17 16:22:22 UTC

And people subconsciously accept your platform

2019-10-17 16:22:30 UTC

Seems more coincidental to me

2019-10-17 16:23:06 UTC

I was once reading about different political groups around the world, and only one of them which is on the Right does this

2019-10-17 16:23:10 UTC

It is the RSS of India

2019-10-17 16:23:48 UTC

They keep adding radical right elements into mainstream political parties so that the previous ones seem tame in comparison

2019-10-17 16:24:00 UTC

Similar to what I think the left in the west have adopted

2019-10-17 16:25:05 UTC

hmm

2019-10-17 16:25:34 UTC

Ohh now I get it

2019-10-17 16:25:46 UTC

That's the extra incentive they have now to push back against the Nazi = left narrative

2019-10-17 16:26:04 UTC

Because if they can't demonize the "other side", then the only side that looks scary is them

2019-10-17 16:26:26 UTC

The whole thing would fall apart

2019-10-17 16:50:06 UTC

This is dog whistling taken to the next level

<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

2019-10-17 17:01:26 UTC

Basically good cop bad cop

2019-10-17 17:03:03 UTC

Also holy shit there is a until dog whistle language using ACโ€™s

2019-10-17 17:03:05 UTC

Lmfao

2019-10-17 17:05:30 UTC

Well milo is interesting but we shouldnโ€™t have taken him down

2019-10-17 17:05:40 UTC

I donโ€™t know enough about why he got shot

2019-10-17 17:06:04 UTC

It could be possible that the right has expanded so much that our ideological differences are starting to hurt us

2019-10-17 17:07:10 UTC

@Snake Yes, it's very similar to Good Cop Bad Cop

2019-10-17 17:10:45 UTC

Well the thing is that contrapoints is becoming what he criticized Jordan Peterson for

2019-10-17 17:10:52 UTC

A cult like following in some sense

2019-10-17 17:11:10 UTC

I watched this girl whoโ€™s name I canโ€™t remember explain it

2019-10-17 17:11:21 UTC

Basically itโ€™s a para social relationship

2019-10-17 17:11:48 UTC

And while I wouldnโ€™t say itโ€™s deadass a cult guys itโ€™s a cult of trannies

2019-10-17 17:12:14 UTC

I would say it has some elements of that, kind of how Jordan Peterson had elements of it

2019-10-17 17:12:33 UTC

Which isnโ€™t very stable

2019-10-17 17:12:59 UTC

I mean theyโ€™re (her followers) are going to end up attacking the mainstream movement at some point

2019-10-17 17:13:29 UTC

Because contrapoints actually deviates from the mainstream in some sense

2019-10-17 17:13:41 UTC

Or it will just fade out like JBP

2019-10-17 17:16:36 UTC
2019-10-17 17:16:42 UTC
2019-10-17 17:16:55 UTC

Very interesting what Aydin has to say
