Date: July 5th, 2020 2:29 PM Author: turquoise lettuce menage The key thing here is something I brought up in another thread which many depressed blackpilled faggot poasters disagreed with--the combat units of the military are basically entirely uncompromised. Ppl are smoking crack if they think E-4 Tommy Thompson from Tazewell, VA will go kick down his cousins' doors and confiscate their guns.
Right wing extremism is VERY common in the military, possibly even a plurality in elite units from my anecdotal experience living in the barracks at Panama City, where a lot of 1337 guys get trained. |

Counter-cultural revolutionaries like Jordan Peterson will have the added glamour of being outcasts.
i see lots of people making this same mistake. they think there's some natural rebelliousness that will find its outlet in cultural conservatism or something.
cultures can remain pretty static for a long time, though, especially if the stakes for deviation are pretty high and dissenters are heavily suppressed and punished.
like yeah there will be some "edgy" kids rebelling here and there but if most kids live in fear of something they said when they were 13 ruining their career, everyone who gets any power will be a line-tower and the outcasts will be relegated to posting as pumos or under their anime avatars on some incel forum. that doesn't really help us... |

The more I read and re-read Will Durant's the lessons of history (absolute must read masterpiece btw), the more I buy into that there will be an equal and opposite reaction for this kind of shit, even if it takes a while... Eg on Twitter I'm seeing those vids of armed black panthers - like 300 dudes with rifles marching down streets in GA... Some part of me just has to believe libs will freak out and push back against this shit at some point, especially 40+ libs. They need to feel the consequences of this shit, as fucked up as it is it seems that something needs to happen to jolt them back into the reality of life and out of their theological moral parlor games (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4577089&forum_id=2#40550904) |

in other words, he was a hired 'gatekeeper' by the establishment. |
|
Date: July 5th, 2020 3:06 PM Author: dull judgmental quadroon He's not an ideological rebel, that's the point. The fact that these non-controversial ideas are seen as so is what I think the point was, that he's seen as a rebellious figure - i.e. common sense as rebellion should have a natural appeal....

Date: July 5th, 2020 4:35 PM Author: Drunken mexican The right-wing critiques of the woke left always fail to appreciate the underlying anger that young people have toward the system. There's this idea that leftists gathered in a secret lair and found the perfect recipe for brainwashing all young people. There's no appreciation for the failures of our current brand of capitalism. Left-wing woke politics may be awful and retarded, but our political and economic systems are really failing young people. Many young people find solidarity with those at the bottom (and woke politics) because those groups have been the only ones that have attacked the system for decades. Everyone else seems to defend a system that fucks them over.
Most young people face declining prospects relative to prior generations and even the successful among them struggle to find any socio-economic stability. There's a big gap between where they expected to be (American Dream) and where they are (indebted and depressed serf). And from the system and their elders they only hear a repetition of the "boot-straps/America is great". We have a very unhappy and depressed youth. As long as that is the case, radical politics will be more popular than usual. The decline of universities will not end this trend. |

Date: July 5th, 2020 4:38 PM Author: Puce Laser Beams we're not seeing actual radical politics, though. it's a bunch of play-acting which does nothing whatsoever to challenge the ruling american oligarchy. that's another aspect of this whole thing.

The platform of the democratic party has clearly shifted to the left on a whole host of major issues as a result of the activism on the left. Political positions on healthcare (single-payer), taxes, UBI and government spending (embrace of piketty and even modern monetary theory) that would have been absolutely untenable even just 10 years ago are now mainstream among young voters. Young people have forced a leftward lurch. It's Trump and his supporters that are play-acting a "populist revolution". (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4577089&forum_id=2#40556337) |

In matters that are irrelevant to the functioning of the system we can generally do what we please. We can believe in any religion (as long as it does not encourage behavior that is dangerous to the system). We can go to bed with anyone we like (as long as we practice“safe sex”). We can do anything we like as long as it is UNIMPORTANT. But in all IMPORTANT matters the system tends increasingly to regulate our behavior.

Date: July 5th, 2020 10:13 PM Author: dull judgmental quadroon I heard James Lindsay the other day mention that he gets the impression reading / hearing these people that a lot of this seems like these people's own demons / mental disorders they're personally battling with spilling out into the open to pull everyone else into it as well for comfort / to not be alone.
Last weekend I logged in to search for something on slack, and a co-worker who is ultra sjw / woke who I'm kinda friends with was signed in and his slack profile changed from the day before to name as "John Doe (he / him)" - this person is weak, very low testosterone etc. , and I got to thinking you know - I think he's so weak that in his own mind this really is some courageous action that he's standing up for (rather than clearly virtue signaling that he belongs to a moral tribe and decreasing, not increasing clarity in language around pronoun usage), and that he's confusing his own personal struggle of such an action with some larger societal struggle on this issue. The fact that he's so weak and it probably took a lot of anxious deliberation on whether or not to do it is getting confused w/ notions of struggle and bravery
