The witch-hunters of the 16th and 17th century made a grave mistake in not creating a political movement around it. They were sure to be successful, as they could just brand anyone who wants evidence as a witch. Why would you defend witches, if you are not one yourself? And it's axiomatic that anyone the witch-hunters call a witch, is one, it is their lived experience.

But then again, people in the 16th and 17th century probably had more sense than these radical-leftist drones.

The thing is, the only recourse for witches was to kill them. Usually a few people around them too. That doesn't make for a functioning society when a small town has to murder handfuls of people on the reg. Every set of hands is important.

This new movement is way better, because even after being broken and destroyed most still go to work (usually a more pathetic new job, but still) so they still pay taxes, offer the tithe to the SJ altar, and walk around as a lesson to those who dare think.

Never thought about this. I used to think this incarnation of leftism was doomed because it doesn't systematically kill its enemies, but getting murdered is something people can actually rally around. Simply breaking conservative people doesn't destroy their ideas, but neither does it trigger the violence that is ultimately required to defeat leftism.

The art of governing is taking away stuff from your political opponents (in the form of higher taxes and spending cuts) and giving it to your supporters (in the form of tax cuts and new programs).

No, no they will not. They are fully propagandized at this point and impervious to thought.

Call of Duty trailer recklessly promotes far-right conspiracy theory:

Anti-Socialist Call of Duty trailer Spreads Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory (ft Yuri Bezmenov)18:30|The Kavernacle (youtube) submitted 16 hours ago by tommycahil1995 21 Aug 2020 17:26:10 UTC

ummm guys america's most popular video game made an entire trailer promoting a fascist named yuri bezmenov pushing a far-right conspiracy theory. I don't know a single american male who hasn't played call of duty and I can see thousands being piped into the far right as we speak

Is it even worth the time to reason with people who think communism is evil and killed 100 million people? Sometimes I just feel like saying "yeah and you're next" Of course the answer is yes but sometimes they're really just trying to piss you off/waste your time, lol

Today let’s pay our respects to the hippies who “spit on vietnam vets at the airport.” As ok and cool as that would have been, it was a lie by pro-war propagandists to push the “stabbed in the back” myth and make people feel bad for the soldiers instead of Vietnamese civilians

He's posting tweets, which are literally character limited and therefore not "blocks of text".

They're completely digestible/readable, and they represent actual proof of what leftists are saying.

The current left views itself as the arbiter of truth and good, while the right does not.

The left sees populism and civic nationalism coming from the right and assumes fascism, because it goes against global interests.

A strong national identity draws people together, when the left wants to drag people apart. If everyone sees each other as equals, then the oppression stack falls apart. In order to protect it, they must conflate their opposition with the worst thing they can think of, Nazis.

They think they are fighting the next Hitler, they will never accept otherwise. They will blame his victory on white supremacy and continue their grift.

In general, predictions that may turn out to be false should not be asserted as something that is sure to happen, because we may end up quite embarrassed.

All predictions may turn out to be false, and it's not unreasonable to have confidence in an insightful prediction, even if the cost may be some embarrassment.

Nothing is going to change. They’ll spend the next four years coming up with a new scandal to impeach him every week, and people will care less and less. Normies will learn to ignore it, while the true believers will still smugly jerk each other off about how Trump is totally finished this time! I believe if he wins that they’ll actually blame it on the coronavirus; the same people who have been screaming about how incompetent he is and how his response doomed our country and killed billions will memory-hole that and instead say the virus wasn’t a big deal and he won the election by fear-mongering.

They were spoiled by Obama and the promise of some utopia that only the left could deliver. I was in graduate school when Obama got the nomination and even the teachers were fawning over the shit he was spewing. "He's going to make the world green! He's going to bring peace to the whole world!" They chugged the kool aid hard and ravenously. It absolved them of their sins and self hatred.

But none of it came to pass. Things got worse. They blamed the right, they blamed racism, they never blamed him or punched left at all. They still expect these things and have invested too much money and emotion to back off now. So now they're farther left, expecting the next candidate to take up Obama's 8 years of slack. "Bernie will get it done, he's a true socialist, which is what we really needed all along!"

So they're entrenched now. They refuse to turn the microscope inward and look at what's driving them. That Trump can be outspoken and doesn't mind coming off as no-nonsense is enough. They'll crusade against whatever they directed at. Anything is less painful than admitting you're wrong, so long as there's false hope to foster or people you don't like to cancel.

It's essentially a media-propagandized cult suffering from a combination of massive sunk cost fallacy and severe cognitive dissonance.

More white power hand gestures behind Trump

What I dont get is how 4chan can say "kek watch, ima turn this hand gesture White Supreme Cheese because these idiots in the media think were actual White Supreme Cheese"... then the MSM sites that very same post as proof that the hand gesture is White Supreme Cheese... just makes the MSM look like a bunch of clowns, and then half the population goes along and believes its true

I'll tell you what happened, and it's fucking terrifying.

4chan tricked the msm into propagating one of the dumbest memes of all time. It should have been an embarrassing defeat for media. They should have been laughed out of the room forever. Instead, the media snapped their fingers and altered reality to align with their failure.

Imagine playing a prank on a lying abusive asshole coworker. Maybe you fool him into wearing his pants on his head to the office. Except when you go to work the next day, everyone is wearing their pants on their heads. What's more, they're looking at you like you're the idiot for wearing your pants on your legs.

That's what happened with the 4chan ok hand gesture hoax. Instead of taking the loss and suffering further erosion of credibility and trust, the media just rolled with the ridiculous prank and made it reality for themselves and their followers.

This is honestly one of the most chilling things that happened in recent history.

Frankly, it's surprising that 4chan hasn't used this understanding to engage in more grandiose manipulations of the media, and therefore the public. That would make them seriously dangerous, though. :-)

"Again"? Hell, they don't understand why or how he won in the first place. They're still butthurt that their queen won California but lost the election because they don't get how the electoral system works. They think that because the hard-Left swerve after Obama didn't do it, they need to swerve harder and further to the Left. They won't learn from their mistakes and can't be taught to be responsible for their own actions. The youth of the party are like a bunch of immature children who think that stomping their feet and screaming at the top of their lungs will somehow make it so they get their way, because that's how they've been catered to all their life. The elders of the party are either a bunch of entitled elitists who think their champagne socialism and limousine liberalism shouldn't apply to them, or they're a bunch of lazy, do-nothing, non-thinkers who act like they're entitled to the handouts their government has provided to them their entire life simply for existing.

I sincerely hope that there is a complete and utter landslide victory for Trump come end of Tuesday, one that will confirm him as winner without any confusion over any "battlerground" states, because otherwise we're in for a shit-show the likes of Bush v. Gore never even thought of.
