the statues thing is ultimately less about racism or any other passing moral fad and more about destroying the heritage and cultural foundation of your enemy

like the english and the irish

or the spanish and the natives of the southwest

or sauron and those god damn white trees

Those are one in the same though

American culture historically had more hierarchy than none at all

definitely

but the argument is that the past actions of those guys were naughty, so we shouldn't venerate them

Exactly

but it's not really about venerating their specific past naughtiness, it's more about the basic concept of knowing who your ancestors even are

Their actions were hierarchical

I see

the left would rather no one created identities they like from knowledge of their past ancestry

which, to tie in with your point, is a hierarchical act

but yes their specific actions were also hierarchical, which is an unpardonable sin

hey Amerika guys can I submit an article for publication

I'll write about this stupid statue issue

Also note that many of these statues are on public, not private territory

But the social media battle is being fought on private domain

hmm what do you mean by the second part of that

The crackdown on alt-Right dialogue is coming from corporations

Not governments

I think that is very significant

Because it may disenfranchise many free market capitalists

definitely. the left becomes more and more corporate. did they feel so defeated after occupy wall street that they said "can't beat em join em?"

anti-corporatism could become a Rightist discipline

Much like environmentalism

The opportunity is certainly there for both. Despite his coke addiction and plagiarism, Zizek makes some good points one of which is that "freedom" is sort of an illusion if all your options are shit

the "freedom" and "small government" crowd get way too fixated on those principles specifically and it leads them into some contorted and compromised positions

They focus on theory and not on practice

Typical of ideologues and fools

Two groups which tend to be mutually inclusive

hahahaha

didn't he literally condemn these dudes

yeah, he did

see, trump is getting swarmed and called Hitler

he is guilty whether he did anything or not, so he might as well start up the grinders and at least enjoy the crime

at this point he will probably be killed by a leftist eventually

people are that butthurt, someone will try it

so he might as well kill all of them before they kill him
