As for barely dent i disagree

They can sell at a loss if they want frankly. Whats important is that our own manufacturing isnt choked out or entirely exported

I wish there was a voice channel here to discuss. I hate typing on mobile

Since the inception of this country, there has only ever been a steady march left. Once the govt takes something on it never gives it back. Now we have a bloated, unaccountable, quasi legislative quasi executive administrative state that it would take a practical civil war or constitutional amendment to pry away.

When conservatives get power, they keep status quo. When left gets power, they push left. There has never been a true reversal

Theyre not complacent per se they just actually try to avoid killing their countrymen

We speak

Thats not true at all. Have you been to a conservative neighborhood? Many of them are ride or die together

Except conservatives dont say that

A lot were upset about alex jones getting banned

Dont forget, a lot of Trump supporters are not conservative

Im more or less libertarian and i believe in the need for societal cohesion

I just dont think culture can be government mandated

Its a community thing to uphold

We're not circlejerking if we are discussing and occasionally disagreeing lol

Circlejerk is agreement with no substance

I do what any one man can. I talk about shit. I hold certain values publicly, both politically and not. For better or worse my friends know i stand for personal responsibility for example, and i back it up. I have a good marriage and will teach my children

I stay up to date and educated and write to politicians

Im not saying it cant be im saying it shouldnt be

Correct.

Ideally that corporation would go woke go broke

If not, its one thing to be influenced by Mao telling you to submit or die, its another to be influenced by some mandatory seminars and subliminal ads.

If people gave it a second thought they wouldnt be influenced

Either that or they want to be influenced for another reason

You cant outlegislate ignorance. If you can combat it at all, its through the community

If the PEOPLE cant be trusted with preventing companies from destroying culture, what makes you think outsourcing that responsibility to the government is any safer? If people are apathetic the govt will use that power to corrupt culture as well

A govt need only keep corporate interests domestic, not control the attitudes that make corporations capable of pursuing certain things

Hard disagree. Theyre not always maximizing profits anymore anyway, they pursue personal agendas. Soros is technically influencing them as a person, much like we have the power to do in the aggregate.

Well ChrisTiam, i hope someday a govt doesnt decide conservatism or gun ownership are "destructive" habits that need to be banned.

Whats common sense for me is not common sense for another. Lets sort it out as a community, not enforced under punishment of law

Like it or not, half the nation would find you destructive. You dont want to give the govt the power to act on that sentiment right now

Heck, a solid quarter wouldnt mind to see you dead

"Its not illegal to own a gun, but advocating gun ownership is pushing a dangerous habit, ban it"

A generation later, guns are banned anyway

Well its unconstitutional... not that they care i suppose. But the answer is 1776, not flipping back and forth on who forces who to do what

A lot would be angry if you banned that too. But what matters is any normal person is disgusted just like you and i. How do we keep society normal? Community values

I actually share your concern. I dont know if its enough, but from my perspective its all i got

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for every other form of government <:trumpmoji:624684793036275730>

Democracy meaning republic ofc

Actually the reason we have rights is precisely BECAUSE we are a threat. Try to take them away, you have a problem. If they disarm us, different story.

That case is overturned btw. Koramatsu

Well i guess when enough fuckery is afoot, the people act out, Zephfyre. Like by electing Trump

Trump was also overdue, but here we are

Oof.

I dont claim to know how it would be

But its possible

Still, eff obama

Idk about all that, its enough for me that his policies were trash and he accelerated the govts corruption by 50 years overnight

As people in t_d liked to say, moving the overton window

Whether by hard or soft reset, we have to

Trump is the soft attempt

*banned for advocating violence*

Well hoping it doesnt come to that obviously

Mods havent responded to my vetting yet <:sweetsad:624681482337910794>

Reddit took over the leadership

@christiam @Zephfyre appreciated our discussions btw

Its good to know what people are thinking

Fascists who want weaker govt, deregulation, ending wars

5head

1st gen legal immigrant from the soviet union

Im familiar

With the type

Collectivism, feel-good naive narratives, moral imperatives along the same lines

It probably didnt even start maliciously, its just really fucking easy to be an academic who makes a 10 minute exposition on how we should be nice and you get a standing ovation for it

Once people like that get leadership they enforce low standards lest people force them to face they are full of shit

And eventually they lie to others so well they convince themselves

Now theyre all enlightened savior complex who are saving the world from its heartless self

New generations being young and eager to stand for something cool love it. You get to be the "good" guy while calling the system shit. Even if youre the system

Which scandinavian country are you in?

Ah, not the worst :P

Good luck there though

Lots of work to do

Like it or not t_d was way more populated than .win

It will be more difficult to redpill normies

We do. Trump rallies. Other platforms. OANN

Those exist too. But to reach people you have to contend with ultra liberal cities

Theres a pretty stark geographical divide

If youre talking about actual edgelords, thats not right wing anyway.

The left pushed successfully that racism is right wing - its not

Id rather strike out on my own than be lumped together with the edgelords frankly

Its not that we cant share free platforms

But as far as a dedicated forum goes

They removed some mods, warned users for upvoting shit they dont like, and forced us to accept mods they choose for us

We ban leftists on t_d or .win, cause the specific purpose is trump support. Same for edgelords?

I dont care if the platform has them just the forum

Option 1

Use primary sources

Watch events/speeches/hearings, read transcripts/bills

Go to .gov or public broadcast of govt functions

As of now, congress still documents its legislation

And the presidents every move is recorded somewhere in its whole

As for administrative state and agencies, HA. corrupt mess

Unaccountable and inaccessible what they do

Ill love trump forever just for auditing the DoD

Audit everything

Negotiate new govt contracts yourself if you have to

I tried, no reply

I have 0 social media and never posted, just subbed

I have a maga hat near me right now, ill send a selfie lmao

Roger that, if the mod gets back to me ill suggest it
