great, more refoogees

Shill your cupcakes

you know i actually kind of agree with that article from tim's video today. just that i dont agree with the prediction from it. that person writing that article might be the most woke person on the left alive right now if they actually recognize the polarization of the country and the subgroups of people who make up both sides of the conflict. though i disagree that a war is nessicary to deal with this though it is the american way. i think most people would actually prefer a segragation between the ideologically incompatible sides within the nation. the left isint going to win a civil war though, they won the first one because they had the advantage, it was really only a matter of time and their own incompatence mixed with the tanacity of the right at the time lead to it being drawn out far longer than nessicary in asymetrical warfare. the left rose to power during the great depression because they could offer answers to peoples needs to get things done that no one else could. FDR was basicly the american hitler, or lenon, or mussalini (ever think about how many regime changes occured during the great depression?) and trump is kind of the 21st century's FDR as a populerist.

its kinda delussional to think that the us is becoming more left, not many people are saying that and at the same time winners usually dont call for less cooperation with the loser, they usually dont see that being nessicary consitering it makes them look bad

The dems are winning in so far as there has not been that many good candidates for those oppose to the left to really rally behind.

thats pretty much all of politics, theres just no "good" candidates so its a race to avoid rock bottom

I think that people need to become more moderate, and that the blurring of the lines is happening, albeit slowly

there will always be die-hard cast folk who want nothing to do with any ideal held by group X

you can't really get past it; it's one of those `team` style things

most people ARE moderate,
due to social media the extremist level partisans just managed to not be "a single idiot",
And the media reinforces that "theres more than you think" delusion by reporting on it because they know it sells,
and as a result, you have those in power actually believing it, and making changes accordingly

Well, that's the point I made before

You've got the initiated on each side that are loyal to their party, or their ideals, and then you've got the uninitiated majority that go the path of least resistance

The left is winning the culture war by making right-leaning ideas unacceptable.

For instance, you can see this in places like John Oliver, where people are outraged that 'Crisis Pregnancy Centers' are trying to 'trick' people into not having abortions.

well, its because the left has the "moral highground"

People want to "be good"

and the majority are naive enough to think that others actually care

liek that these hollywood celebrities actually care that much about society/environment

if you want to "be good" you have to use your brain and not blindly follow the idiots that yell the loudest

no, thats being right

people would rather be good than be right

and you are good, if you have people say you are good

left, right, center, extreme, or moderate. the question is if people feel like they can get what they want with negotiation still. once you have a state of being where society is divided up between people who will accept only zero compramise their only option left for getting anything they want is force or disassociation. no amount of optomism changes this, deescolation seems to these people to be weakness, like your trying to get them to cave in and lose what they are fighting for, it doesent work nomatter how nice it would be if it id because deescolation doesent offer a solution, it just trys to keep the people who are supose to be working together for a solution from killing eachother before the solution is found. if the nation ever gets to the point it can no longer be the united states, then it would be better off not being the united states anymore less you have needless bloodshed in the name of "solidarity"

i say let the left and right have their own countrys, then they can do things their own way and prove their ideologys as successful or not and avoid killing eachother needlessly

thats extremism, No middle ground, no compromise, just either with us, or the enemy


Also, splitting up like that won't work, you'll just get the exact same issue again, the world WAS split liek that (West - Right) (East - Left/Soviet)

both sides slowly switched to the center, and then flipped to the other side

the fix is actual rational conversation

Have people talk, and actually learn that the majority of the Other side shares so much in common, and then build on that

the silent majority needs to speak out against no compromise, and take action. Politicians, if you can prove you have enough voters on your position to maybe swing elections, are easy enough to manipulate. But you can't be silent.

you will get those issues again

but we do tend to get the same issues again and again

im just offering something less bloody in the middle

'The majority' is silent and passive. They are not a factor in the world of politics.

the majority just wants to be left alone

and if they want to be left alone, they need to speak up now or end up in a world where they are never left alone

the majority are all those things, but i think also the majority agrees with someone. not as a whole, but every person agree with someone. if the majority never agreed with someone you wouldent be able to have wars with so many people involved instigated by these extremist groups who cant stand to live with eachother. they eventually command the middle to kill eachother in order to get to their opponents

boiling frog issue,

They want to be left alone, but its not happening fast enough 😦 so they don't get shocked into action

if you bulkanize a region based on incompatible ideological groups, what you do is give them a completely different situation they have to deal with other than simply fighting with their opponents to get what they want and ultimately never accomplish anything due to the balance of power. you get many more people who agree with eachother in the position to actually do something about their own existance and then you as a person can choose which side you want to live in.
