Couldn't find any reference to islam on his wiki page. Reason I was looking is that I'd put air quotes around the term if what he joined was the Church of Islam, like Mohammed Ali. What they practice is even less Islam than LDS is Christianity.

I seem to recall seeing somewhere that the lefties were making fun of people like use for being concerned about these concentration camps, because they had all these pictures of Aussies in bathing suits tanning and such, but didn't the Nazis film supposed Jews in supposed "resettlement camps" to show how humane and awesome the Jews were being treated and how happy they were and such?

Years of whining about 'optics', Patriot Front nails the optics, and the hue and cry goes up "you're too optical, can't be real!" But hey, maybe a litmus test for doomers, slacktivists, and shareblues.
The only 'optics' PF nailed was Glowie LARPing as fringe Right, with a dash of 'look, we can carry riot gear just like Antifa and BLM'.

The only people I hear saying anything about their weight/fitness, as it relates to 'legitimacy/lack there of' for PF are people like you, who think they are legit and that anyone who has issues with them is because those people are 'fat and lazy'.

This is about people like you being upset that much of the Right has no interest in psuedo-militia grifters who look like they are full of glowies, long on rhetoric, and short on policy.

The right wing when it does rallies or stuff like this, would have more people of different body types. Wouldnt come looking like the left, but either come armed or just to protest. NOT prepare for combat.
Body type somewhat does matter when talking about this stuff. One needs to think about they all look average build. No super strong guys, no super skinny guys. Nothing like that

I never even paid any attention to their physique till the idea that people suspicious of them are so because of body image/weight issues.

Seriously, the whole idea that their body build is at all important to the discussion/issues surrounding this event is a complete and utter red herring.

I do remember the look of Trump rallies and WalkAway rallies (before Straka got caught up in 1/6) and they were more organic, more authentic, and had every sort of person in them. They also would not being trying so hard to hide their faces or comply with mask mandate BS.

These Patriot Front people look like either glowies, or legit fringe militia types trying to pretend they have any serious connection the majority of the Right. Or they could be a controlled media-sourced group, to give them the images of 'scary white supremacists' for the news cycle to latch onto.

Why the Right/trad cons/social cons keep losing, summed up in a couple of sentences. Raising your kids to live in a world that no longer exists, for the sake of 'tradition' or willing denial of how society has changed/is changing, only sets them back and hinders them.

Your assuming that tradition is a lot less flexible then it is.

Tradition when you get down to it is the trial and error results of a country, civilization and culture. This is why the traditions of one place can be so markedly different then another because what works in the deserts of the sararah might fail hilariously in a tropical environment.

In the case of the united states if you include the colonial period that is roughly 400 years of trial and error experimentation if you include just christian civilization we have over 2000 years of trial and error experiementation. If you include classical era and even before the bronze age collapse you get even more time.

That is why tradition is as powerful as it is, because its based on a deep well of time, and its very easy to reporpose old solutions to new problems.

The trad-con/social-con problem is, it is not a view that tries to figure out how to adapt to the future very much, and instead tries to make the present and future conform to the past's circumstances and limitations.

It's why lib-con actually do make headway, because liberty is a concept that bridges many media, elite, or racism, induced divides in the nation and is something both sides value, or at least used to.

Now, I understand that there is legit fear of the slippery slope in not pushing as hard to the Right/'towards tradition' as possible.

However, social ideas and paradigms have to be able to adapt to tech/cultural shifts due to tech as well. Most of us here grew up when the internet was barely a thing, the kids now have to deal with a fully mature internet/social media/email/messaging ecosystem that is omnipresent and ubiquitous in most modern societies.

It's why lib-cons and moderate Rs (not RINOs, they are establishment hacks) actually do make headway, because liberty is a concept that bridges many media, elite, or racism, induced divides in the nation and is something both sides value, though to what degree is now up for debate.

Now, I will admit that I do feel like maybe the Amish could work as an example of 'trad-cons/social walking their talk' while also being generally upstanding and liked members of the community/their own smaller community in their home regions. Only issue is, that doesn't work on a national scale.

your assuming that too many problems of modern day have no precidents and are brand new things.

Large scale corruption, an out of touch and increasingly psychotic elite up its own ass, censorship, and a host of other things have all happened before. And 2000 years gives you a whole lot of tools to use in those situations. Say what you will about the old christians they were a very successful subversive movement that managed to survive several purges.

I think your looking at modernity as the end all be all of history and that is a mistake, there is a lot of history and a lot of tactics, ideas and other things in the past begging to be reporposed into modern use again.
