Ahhh gotcha

I need to re-watch that interview again

Bezmenov's words have come true

yep

@Beemann I'd like to read about that, the canada defect

that sounds very interesting

Look what we know the CIA and KGB did in the Middle East and South America in the 50's-80's, and the idea that all the social movements that happened in America are organic or accidental seems positively naïve.

Yuri Bezmenov. He did interviews

Yuri Bezmenov was based.

There's like an hour long one on YT

Where he just goes over fucking everything. It's nuts

anything that happens abroad likely happens here in some capacity

Read his pamphlets, too! Archive.org

deffo

I didn't know he'd written anything

Also Cleon Skousen's Naked Communist; explains all that's going on, written in 1962.

going to be forward -- i'm straight dissident right and love BAP, moldbug, landry, and practically anything over on that end. But I came from far left years ago.

so take anything I say with a grain of salt

thanks y'all

I enjoy matt, tim pool, and other content creators as a way to ground myself a bit, but i'm generally not very grounded

I knew this was messed up ever since I found out that the 60s feminists were literally making "the destruction of the family" one of their chants

Programming is your parent's fault; you're not guilty for having been asleep, just for chosing not to get up when you awoke.

I was actually fairly left when I was younger, too, but that's a story I don't have time for today haha

ah my parents were conservative as fuck, and I reacted by going far left

Ha!

"Not very grounded"
Core values?

it started with some even further left friends telling me to get out of my tower of white privilege years ago, found the usual suspects like Rubin, went into the rabbit hole of alt right shit, and i'm floating around that and centrism

core values? I'm mostly concerned with the same things most people are here I think.

Not being treated like you're subhuman for no good reason? 🤔

I'm not religious though, although I find Blonde trying catholicism inspiring. I think the catholic church is kind of fucked though right now

Lmaaaaaaaao

Matt BTFO

Blonde said hell nah

I try not to presume that other people share my values

Having family that actually escaped communism, and realtives that can honestly say things like "...it was better under the Nazis..." without irony insulated me from Leftist thinking, I guess.

Tends to backfire rather catastrophically

Wow, damn, son!

That's probably true Beemann.

"Omg living under the Nazis was horrible" - Invited all of Africa into their country immediately after the war

I don't see much point either in going Catholic when I'd instantly be at odds with the commie pope.
