Plus, they're not the ones with the social power right now.

2018-01-10 08:51:53 UTC  

I mean, would it be accurate to say that they are a symtom as well?

2018-01-10 08:52:07 UTC  

Of people tired of being sidelined.

2018-01-10 08:52:22 UTC  

The alt right? I would say their sudden resurgence has largely been a response to the hard left, yes.

2018-01-10 08:52:25 UTC  

yes, they would be considerd an ultru conservative if you analize their POV

2018-01-10 08:53:05 UTC  

At the very least listen to them. Hell, I remember some people saying that even the neo nazis were friendlier.

2018-01-10 08:53:22 UTC  

The "leaders" of the alt right have even said that they are fine with how the left is conducting itself. They wouldn't have the left do anything different, since it's bringing people right into their arms.

2018-01-10 08:53:23 UTC  

Like theyd call you an idiot, but will ask if you want to chat or debate sometime

2018-01-10 08:53:29 UTC  

as waves apear peaks are easier to see than a calm surface

2018-01-10 08:54:05 UTC  

and the left shouts hate speech and wants you in jail

2018-01-10 08:54:54 UTC  

meaning you strongly support policies that promote economic freedom and a society based on morals and values

2018-01-10 08:54:58 UTC  

is this what rightwing means?

2018-01-10 08:54:58 UTC  

At the very least the alt right respects free speech, for the most part, whereas antifa and groups like that will just beat you once one of their number labels you as a fascist.

2018-01-10 08:55:03 UTC  

Took that from the ISideWIth

2018-01-10 08:55:19 UTC  

The altright appreciates it, cause it still gives them a voice

2018-01-10 08:55:21 UTC  

Doesn't matter if they're right or not. If one points at you and yells 'fascist!' the rest will just dogpile onto you.

2018-01-10 08:55:23 UTC  
2018-01-10 08:55:33 UTC  

They know that without it, they are nothing

2018-01-10 08:55:56 UTC  

Hmm on a different topic, when they say morals however

2018-01-10 08:56:12 UTC  

do they mean like, ban vices ala sharia law?

2018-01-10 08:56:13 UTC  

tbh i get really annoyed when people label progressives and the far left as liberal

2018-01-10 08:56:26 UTC  

I mean, real liberals really should.

2018-01-10 08:56:34 UTC  

Yeah, they've kind of taken that term for themselves when they're not really liberal.

2018-01-10 08:56:45 UTC  

but real liberals actually exist

2018-01-10 08:56:47 UTC  

Like now no distinction between classical lib or progressive

2018-01-10 08:56:59 UTC  

maybe you aren't looking hard enough

2018-01-10 08:56:59 UTC  

They do, but they are outshadowed by the ones with the microphones

2018-01-10 08:57:11 UTC  

Not everyone got the time.

2018-01-10 08:57:26 UTC  

how would you define progressive? it sounds like that is a third axis to me

2018-01-10 08:57:30 UTC  

And maybe if they were hard to find, they might not be as significant.

2018-01-10 08:57:42 UTC  

Not saying they are not significant.

2018-01-10 08:57:44 UTC  

i mean it's more of that everyone is at mercy of an algorithm that just want's you glued to a screen

2018-01-10 08:57:57 UTC  

Hmm, tim did actually discuss that.

2018-01-10 08:58:07 UTC  

Fuck man, rip if Tim tries to have a convo here.

2018-01-10 08:58:16 UTC  

Cause he is the man

2018-01-10 08:58:17 UTC  

but they taylor that algorythim

2018-01-10 08:58:20 UTC  

we aren't even getting a sliver of the real picture of reality anymore

2018-01-10 08:58:24 UTC  

Nah, I think he'd be fine. The important thing is we're all center.

2018-01-10 08:58:38 UTC  

nah, more like the sheer volume.

2018-01-10 08:58:44 UTC  

i only get center left / center right media in my feed

2018-01-10 08:58:57 UTC  

I dont even use social media
