What about the name **Probabilitarian** to describe the alt right (before it became synonymous with neo-nazi to the MSM and general public.)
I think we're transitioning into a new hyper-honest time period. Complete opposite of post-modernism.
he thinks all immigrants are bad and the right is fine. clearly
Oh lol poes law in action
It's an inherently positive sounding word, right?
I like how the alt-right were a different thing before the MSM got a hold of it. It was, at least as how I remembered it, simply an anti-leftist group.
they've effectively made it unironically nazism lite
Alt lite last I heard as well.
Yeah, so **Probabilitarian** could make a good moniker
maybe
alt lite is basically people like Lauren Southern that just simplify alt right ideas so they can sell it
It's from a survey of the most positive words, in sound and meaning
2016-ish
what is it supposed to be in reference to?
the memey movement that was before known as alt right
Oh shit
I just find it silly as well, I mean I am sure tim has an audience within the alt right.
I meant Possibilitarian
ere is the actual philosophy in Mr. Peale's own words: “I challenge you to become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities – always see them, for they are always there.” The root meaning of the word possible is “capable of making happen”
But thats just guilt by assosciation
The difference in meaning to progressives is that it is grounded moreso in being capable of making happen
Not "trying with insufficient knowledge and assumptions"
Yeah, it does seem more like a rule of thumb. I guess I just liked the word
Progressives seem to just want to change whatever moral structures they deem "outdated"
It's an escalation of liberalism, like communism is to socialism
Makes sense that they're the other end of conservatism
Or just like the puritians but more leftist
Degenerates?
That'd be the opposite, right?
Well tell me what your definition of liberalism is
Well forcing rules on others. Being moral busy bodies
I'd say liberalism is a generally positive demeanor to altering existing social constructs and laws to allow more people to feel more freedom in the way they live their life
That's authrotianism if your forcing rules on others, not liberalism
Through democracy?
Oh referencing the puritans
I wouldn't say progressivism is an escalation of liberalism as progressivism seems fine with barring previous freedoms in favor of their own definition of "progress"
Through democracy is the more complex bit
Like how we have them on both ends
if they think shutting down this one freedom to protect what they think the future will look like they will
