I don’t think I qualify as right-wing yet. Still more of an edgy centrist.

Tumblr has me writing political essays for sport.
Not sure how I feel about this.
I’m an anarchosocialist, not a neolib. Don’t “*I* will be forced to fight them” me, like you’re some kind of hero. Their ideology is already out of date for being morally wrong, saying genetic technology is what will end them implies that the genetic “problems” they present actually need solutions. Violence against fascists is the only option against fascists. They cannot be debated since their ideology is grounded in hatred not logic, they cannot be appeased as they will always ask for more, they have to brutally crushed/scared into disbanding.
And while fascism is rising in America, antifascism is rising much faster, and hopefully they will come to an inevitable conflict in which fascism is finally wiped from the earth.
White Americans aged 80+ vs. White Americans aged 0-4 by county.
I think this means the country is growing to be less white and that makes me happy
The actual non-racist response is to be indifferent. If all races are equal, and equally valuable, then a reduction in the percentage of whites is something to be neither celebrated nor pitied.
And indeed, we have many loyal, hard-working citizens of many races in this country.
But I’m coming around to the idea of contradictions in ideology.
The language required for the diversity arguments implicitly accepts some of the frame premises of the White Nationalists, but refuses to engage with them.
I literally don’t care what this post makes White Nationalists think, since they should all be 6 feet in the fucking ground
This was literally just a casual comment on how I enjoy diversity, why are people still reblogging it with 9 page arguments 3 or 4 months later
You should care because even though their ideology will be technologically obsolete within about 30 years thanks to advancements in genetic engineering, they are capable of doing damage in the meantime, and reckless behavior by their opponents is increasing their numbers. If WNs enact violence I will be obligated to fight them to ensure the civil order of the United States, but if others fight the WNs I will have to fight them instead for the same reason. Since violence is out as an option, that leaves deconversion or at the very least not making more of them. Right now the Left is making more of them.
As for your post, it’s getting reblogged because, while casual, it’s a good simple example of the contradictions within pro-diversity Neoliberalism.
you can only either be completely okay with capitalism as it stands currently or be an unironic gulag jokes-making communist because these are the only two genders
tfw you can only have the ability to develop policies that will help workers but not the will to enact them, or the will to enact policies intended to benefit workers but not the ability to design actually-good ones

people (very briefly) wrote about Bannon as if he was this erudite mastermind of fascist strategy, but I think the narrative will collapse faster than his attempts at passing legislation.
Dubya’s cronies had been kicking around in Washington for decades and had far more institutional experience and they were still a clumsy pack of ideocrats; you wouldn’t expect Bannon to be even on their level.
mitigatedchaos said: Yeah, I’m going to dredge all the fascist panic up and shove it in peoples’ faces in 4 years at this rate, probably.
“don’t worry, we survived Donald Trump didn’t we?”
“this is different! if you vote for Chelsea Clinton people will die!”
Not everyone is going to survive any given Presidency. Lots of people didn’t survive the Obama Presidency, for instance.
Rather, the specific complaint in this case was that Trump was Fascist and would somehow turn the US into some sort of authoritarian state far exceeding the existing level of wasteful authority.
I’m confident that isn’t going to happen. Trump is not going to be a military dictator or three-term President.
I’ve been rather annoyed with it, along with the claims of Xism leveled at all opponents, the no-platforming, the enthusiasm for punching ‘Nazis’ that inevitably ends up pepper-spraying bitcoin enthusiasts and cheering physical violence against Libertarians, the racism itself…
Thanks to this healthcare debacle I’m feeling slightly vindicated in my feeling from last year that while Trump might be unprecedented in some ways as a presidential candidate let alone president, the sheer institutional inertia of the state and the gloriously recalcitrant nature of American politics would stymie his ability to radically reshape the nation. I mean it’s still early days, but yeah.
What do people think of the “Trump Humiliated By Health Care Failure” and “Health Care Rejection Shows Trump Is Already Lame Duck” and “Paul Ryan: Worst Speaker Of All Time?” discourse?
Most people I trust seem to think the health care bill was crap. Blaming people for writing a crappy health care bill seems fair enough.
But there seems to be more of an element of picking on them for being too weak to pass the bill, as if now they’re losers and we can never respect them again.
Can we just say something like “Elected officials should propose bills that they and their constituents want, give the rest of the country a chance to weigh in, and if the rest of the country says no, that means democracy is working and they should come back with something better”?
Like, this is complicated because I don’t want Republicans to pass a health care bill right now. But if this were actually important legislation, I would want the government to say “Good thing the American people made their voices heard,” roll up their sleeves, and then write a better bill.
Whereas now it seems like the incentive is to never propose anything that doesn’t have a 100% chance of getting passed the first time. And the other incentive is to desperately try to steamroll your legislation over everyone’s opposition and never admit you’re wrong, because if it fails (even for good reason) everyone will make fun of you.
Or am I missing something important here?
Bro, it’s the Orange Capitalism Man. Anything that can be used to verbally attack him will be.
Why are you expecting good faith or actually caring about long-term incentives on the meta? Neglecting long-term incentives on the meta is how we got here in the first place.
