Still, western civilization as a whole would benefit from being less tolerant towards those who wish death and worse upon everyone to the right of Stalin, and it seems like more and more people are coming to understand that as things keep getting progressively worse.
There is a difference between fighting the radical Left's madness and their 'tolerance' of groomers and pedos, and treating anyone who doesn't worship Reagan/is to the right of Reagan as the enemy.
What IWD is advocating is the second.
Action reaction, idealism cant prevent what is comming, the growing numbers of people who got fucked over by the left will become more and more angry as they are dispossed and asking them to not be angry at their ill treatment is to ask them to give up their humanity.
You can ask them to target their rightous rage more narrowly yes but to ask them to not possess it just makes it all the worse.
This isn't about 'idealism', this is about the cold hard facts of swing voters and their power in US elections, and about how stupid 'mistreat anyone to the Left of Reagan' mindset is.
Righteous rage isn't the issue here, target selection is.
Hardly, as every single right wing populist in South American and North American history proves out. If you shitpost at, humiliate and mock the idiots and degenerates in society, people will turn to you.
sometimes they need a metaphorical black eye first, but they will.
Or they will turn to people in the center to try to reign in the madness on both ends, and consider both types of radicals as net negatives to their side.
'Rules for Radicals' is not a book the GOP should be trying to take pages from, nor is S. American politics applicable to the US, no matter how much you wish to import S. American political rhetoric/tactics to the US.
Frankly, you should just go home, and try to unfuck your birth nation, instead of being another political refugee/migrant in the US. That way you can have all the S. American style populism you can want, without your poison fucking up things here near as much.
To be honest, with how the West has gone wrong in the last few decades, it's looking to be a continuing spiral of Leftist degradation or a crop of Right governments that'll use boot and gun to put things back to a semblance of normalcy -- and I don't mean these hypothetical Right governments going down the "religious supremacy being a magic cure all pill" route like a lot of Christians think/believe.
Unless there's a third path I'm missing, I'm not seeing the future going any other way now. The divides are too deep, the elite/top of the crops have made blatantly illegal, immoral, and unethical plays in recent years, and the Left won't stop until you or your loved ones are dead and/or subsumed.
@Bacle Sorry bro, but your idea of remaining tolerant is now basically certain death for non-Leftoids. You can't be tolerant or civil with people who basically want you destroyed.
The 10% of swing voters who decide 'fair' elections is not going to disappear, and the S. American style politics IWD is promoting will turn them off, not bring them onboard.
Doesn't matter how much his ideas resonate in the 'choir', because it is not the choir who has the deciding votes, nor is the choir large enough to be able to ignore the votes/voices/views of people outside it.
His tactics will not work and will likely backfire spectacularly in ways the GOP simply cannot afford if they want to retain any power at all.
As is, the only reason the GOP has any power at all right now is because of Texas and Justice's Thomas and Alito. If/when Texas turns blue at the federal level, and when Alito and Thomas are not longer on the bench (and are likely replaced by Dems), the revenge the Left will enact is going to make a lot of what we've seen so far look like a fucking cake walk.
