Antifa is an idea. Being gay is genetic but anyone can be gay. Gender is a social construct but gender identity must be treated as inherent. Racism is invisible, but also everywhere. Note these trends, they make claims that require cognitive dissonance because they refuse to define their beliefs. To actually hold a clearly defined belief would require that person to be able to defend that belief. So what we see instead is gay people out openly recruiting straight people (remember Andy Samburg in I Love You Man) but then saying anyone that identifies as gay or whatever is an inherent trait present since birth. This cognitive dissonance allows them to deflect argument, solidify any attack as one on something “unchangeable”, and then for them to cry victim because they are the oppressed walking the streets in assless chaps and fetish gear. This holds true on every position they hold.

Excuse me for quoting Thrawn but it highlights the Modern Left's greatest weapon, obfuscation. By constantly changing definition (like Global Warming, Climate Change, Climate Crisis) they get everyone to play by their narrative. The Right seek to conserve the way of American life which allows the modern Left to point at them and get their useful idiots to attack. The Right are rigidly set in their tradition which makes them such easy target for Post-Modern thinking. The Left constantly shift the sands so they're never in the wrong, even when it's obvious like with trying to impeach Trump twice and rigging the election.
That's the obvious layer though, when you see how this is done, the use of mass communication devises/propaganda to constantly change their meaning, organization and who holds the power. Which leads to the bigger, ideological conflict of the dominance of culture in a multi-cultural world where multiple cultures seek control over the West's financial power.
Obfuscation is just one tool in their arsenal to control Average Joe public.
I would argue that it's more accurate to say their greatest weapon is dishonesty. Like all followers of Satan, they lie as naturally as breathing.
The right's biggest problem is that we have yet to embrace in our collective mindset the truth that the left is always, always, acting in bad faith. We're still treating them like people, instead of the parasites they are. We try to argue and persuade with logic, instead of rebuff and rebuke the enemy as the demons they are.
When the right as a whole wakes up to the fact that we need to stop trying to give hugs to an existential threat, then the real fight will finally begin. Until then, trying to achieve the zeitgeist necessary to kick things off is the primary goal.
I would say their biggest weapon is controlling the mainstream media and social media. If we had an independent press who actually played it straight, the left would be completely fucked.
And how did they get that? Did they all just walk in one day and proclaim that the news agencies now serve Marx? Or did they sneak in, one by one and little by little, and takeover before revealing their intent and agenda? Hell, even the media itself is primarily used as a vehicle for telling lies.
Everything they have comes from dishonesty and bad faith. And the fact that we keep falling for it.
If.
Maintaining the legitimacy of any institution or organization requires strict and watchful gatekeeping.
Yeah I suppose you're right
