meanwhile the right is positioned as the underdog, against the mainstream, the media, and the public opinion (coz you can't be public about being right wing nowadays)

2018-10-11 16:03:23 UTC  

The realistic bell curve of political stances in modern society and across most platforms squarely puts the global average as slightly left leaning. The problem is, extreme lefties have gone so far that no one with a brain can support the left anymore.

2018-10-11 16:03:27 UTC  

there's also the component of censorship that is interesting. On twitter they censor everyone, on youtube they can only censor creators

2018-10-11 16:04:14 UTC  

so twitter becomes visibly lefty, while on youtube, when they censor creators, the viewers on the right start to consume more right wing content

2018-10-11 16:04:31 UTC  

Reasonably speaking, I'm center-left. But the left is so absurd that I find myself needing to rally around traditionally right-wing outlets because they're the only sane option left.

2018-10-11 16:05:07 UTC  

what I don't get is why lefties that are against the current left aren't more vocal about it

2018-10-11 16:05:37 UTC  

but anyway, the right is quite welcoming to them

2018-10-11 16:05:41 UTC  

if they want to change sides

2018-10-11 16:06:11 UTC  

Trump was a democrat all allong, after all

2018-10-11 16:06:22 UTC  

It's because it's not socially appropriate. If you are against the super-extreme politically correct "but not ALL Muslims are terrorists, therefore we must let ALL Muslims into our country, INCLUDING the terrorists, to prove we're not racist!"... then you're a racist.

2018-10-11 16:06:53 UTC  

then "be the racist"

2018-10-11 16:07:10 UTC  

im racist

2018-10-11 16:07:15 UTC  

and im ok with that

2018-10-11 16:07:19 UTC  

that gets you beat over the head by a bike lock by your antifa-loving leftie friends

2018-10-11 16:07:29 UTC  

I don't even think of "racism" as a problem tbh

2018-10-11 16:07:41 UTC  

the market auto-balances

2018-10-11 16:07:44 UTC  

in the way its described at this point? No its not

2018-10-11 16:08:01 UTC  

if it were 1930 I'd say "this is a problem"

2018-10-11 16:08:11 UTC  

yup

2018-10-11 16:08:12 UTC  

but at this point, its basically a non-issue at a population level

2018-10-11 16:08:40 UTC  

modern representation of what racism is: I'd be worried if you're not. Modern racism can be described as I did above.

2018-10-11 16:08:56 UTC  

as long as the laws are neutral, most examples of racism are just that, examples

2018-10-11 16:09:47 UTC  

ironically, the left is becoming more racist than any racism that existed before

2018-10-11 16:10:24 UTC  

"becoming"

2018-10-11 16:10:27 UTC  

they already were

2018-10-11 16:10:41 UTC  

Modern "racism" - Cops show up to arrest child rapists in germany and they all get away into the community, leading to future child rape. Police make a statement, "These men were... men. We cannot describe them further or it would be racist. So remember, if you see... MEN... they might be the rapists."

2018-10-11 16:10:49 UTC  

they were, but they were in small numbers

2018-10-11 16:11:07 UTC  

no. They were racist at a party level

2018-10-11 16:11:23 UTC  

sure, I agree on that

2018-10-11 16:11:32 UTC  

the intensity or way in which that presented itself has morphed but its been at their core since their inception

2018-10-11 16:11:40 UTC  

but the intensity is different now

2018-10-11 16:11:41 UTC  

imo

2018-10-11 16:11:47 UTC  

yeah of course

2018-10-11 16:11:54 UTC  

and the way in which it presents to the world is different

2018-10-11 16:12:05 UTC  

but its still the same core it was always

2018-10-11 16:12:34 UTC  

Modern "Not Racist" as demonstrated on Twitter, and by the New York Times hiring practices: "FUCK ALL WHITE PEOPLE, Y'ALL DESERVE TO DIE, IT'S TIME FOR A WHITE GENOCIDE #CancelWhitePeople"

2018-10-11 16:13:01 UTC  

they're racist against virtually everyone

2018-10-11 16:13:03 UTC  

just do what I do

2018-10-11 16:13:08 UTC  

including whites, blacks, asians, hispanics

2018-10-11 16:13:10 UTC  

say you don't identify as white

2018-10-11 16:13:11 UTC  

just people in general
