@Dusty Morgan There's no foresight on the left. Just like the denouncement of free speech.
its always a scale
They're going to go against free speech, until they're censored.
Then all of a sudden, it's a big shock.
@Inquisition You are damn right. I saw this coming a mile away. They were arrogant enough to think they would be in power forever.
It's all emotion.
"What? Our own positions are being used against us? That's not fair!"
From the standpoint of power, it works though.
Well so many left wing websites and youtube channels have been purged.
Because you are making continuous gains.
Not to mention so many twitter accounts.
So they are outraged about that.
And I am like shaking my head.
Yeah, censorship sucks doesn't it.
But they drive a big distinction between themselves and their enemies.
They think everyone else is evil while they are the saviors.
Specifically, they will never extend any kind of charity to the right. Atleast not the current crop of the new left.
They are basically useful idiots with a hero complex.
Yeah, basically.
But they are putting down the people they claim to be saving.
*Nods.*
And probably would like it--so long as they are in charge of it.
Tribalism.
They are setting all of us up for a terrible future if we allow them to get back into power.
I don't like the left, but I will protect their rights.
Because their rights is also my rights.
If I take away their rights, I am shooting myself in the foot.
They don't see that though for some reason.
They don't seem to understand this simple concept.
I think these political tribes tend to unperson their adversaries.
It's actually Foucalt.
The left says everyone they don't like is a Nazi.
So it's okay to unperson them.
It's okay to take away their rights.
That's why it's okay to call Kanye a "dumb nigger".
There's some good quotes from Foucalt which basically argued that as the left is morally superior it's morally correct to strip rights from their enemies.
Which I've seen on Twitter.
Foucalt is now a top 3 person for citations in English programs at Unis.
The right aka Republicans and Conservatives along with the Independents are defending everyone's rights. But the left condemns them for it and calls them tyrants for it.
What a thankless task.
