you have to be better

Yeah, I am the most surprised about the shift in puritanicalism

that's the snark i'm talking about Scribb

For the old neo-con right, it was due to sexual propriety

it's sufficient now only because SJWs are the lowest common denomenator

For the new far-left, it's because we've figured out how to frame it as sexism

once leftists become more reasonable which i can bet classic liberalism will rise again, the right's unapologetic snark won't cut it against well formulated elaborate joking

Overall I still have less respect for the left because all the pro-sexuality arguments were suddenly not just worng, but definitely evil

im not willing to throw people under the bus who apoligize.
And i generally mean normies for that matter who arent really aware of what they got into.
You dont toss these people under the bus, those are the minds you can change.

the left honestly surprised me

I also think unity is the way forward

Purity test are why we are where we are today

@velvitonator i was really surprised with the left

well purity testing is self destructive

they managed to become more tyranical, more authoritarian, more irrational & more destructive than the authoritarian right ever did

in such a short ammount of time too

it took the right a long time to become paranoid tyrants

the left, it took a span of a couple of years

yea but i think there is a difference tho

I think the right has some built-in slowdown mechanisms, though

The whole limited vs. unlimited vision thing, for one

i honestly never thought the left would go that far, until i learned of communism ofcourse

i think the right has more of a self policing

they force each other to be principled & consistent

the left not so much

Well, yes and no--talk to anyone committed to Russel Kirk's ideas about modern conservatism and you'll see plenty of critique

not to mention they have a drive to have things done

but they don't think all that much outside of that

in their view... why should they? what they do works for them

thats why u get open minded ppl to start businesses

Well, until it ultimately doesn't

and conservatives to run them

the left is excelent at finding new ground, but not very good at maintaining it

the right is excelent at maintaining what exists, but not very good at seeing something new

both have their place in society

in non extremist ammounts

I think that's broad-strokes true, but then I alwasy wonder what's up with the exceptions or people who don't land on either side very well

Peter Thiel is an example

they have a unique perspective yes

a fascinating one

but not one i subscribe to
