Stop compromising, stop trying to "meet in the middle" and stop conceding even the smallest and most petty points.

Being "reasonable" just gets you shit on.

For optics you sometimes have to soft-peddle to present a normie-acceptable face but you never have to give ground.

This.

These days when someone globohomo agenda-pusher calls me a "Bigot" or a "Transphobe" or a "Racist", I just say "Good" and keep making my point, or ignore them and attempt to drop red pills when or where possible.

The biggest flaw anyone can make these days is conceding to their fallacious accusations. Don't get roped into mulling over how to defend yourself against the "ists" and the "phobes" invective, just truck through and make your point or get out of Dodge. No sense trying to play their game because it's designed so that you never win.

They don't play by our morality, why play by theirs? The use of -phobe for literally EVERYTHING has destroyed any meaning the suffix had.

It’s simple, effective, and much more satisfying than trying to get people who hate you to stop hating you.

I feel like this is something you're supposed to learn on the school playground. Why does something so basic elude conservative politicians?

You can't make people like you. Changing yourself to appease them just humilates and erodes you, and shows them that they can can control you and make you do whatever they want. The result them using you their scapegoat for all of their own crimes. That's what kids do when they set up their least-liked 'friend' to be the fall guy in their mischief, and that's what the democrats have been doing to republicans since... Huh, JFK's assassination? ...That's a weird thought.

Because they are not conservatives. They have been elected to the Republican Party but they are first and foremost politicians as a class. If they stand up for principles, they get ostracized from the club.

They are upper class and don't want to lose that privileged position. You can see the same thing on the other side where someone like AOC came from "humble beginnings" spouting class conflict and are now just completely integrated into upper class society.

They still have to play the part and say their lines correctly but they are all actors on the same stage. They have much more in common with their "opponents" than they do with the audience. When the curtain closes and intermission is called, they are hanging out back-stage with one another, not with you.

Good observation. It's funny, really. I already knew this, and yet I still needed to be reminded.

AOC clearly entered the game as a poltician who genuinely believes most of the inane drivel that comes out of her mouth, but it's funny watching her transformation turning into a full on grifter like the rest of them.

She changed her vote on Iron Dome funding from 'No' to 'Present', obviously sacrificing her actual belief for more acceptance in the grift club.

I wonder how many election cycles til she votes yes? 4?

Here's what's really funny about the iron dome AOC story: anyone who would have been pissed at her for voting "no" still knows how she feels about them. They are satisfied by her change in vote not because they believe she legitimately changed her mind - they know she didn't - but rather because she has demonstrated her capacity to be coerced. She sold her soul on this issue, which means she can be relied upon to sell her soul on any other issue. The only calculus is in determining the price.

She didn't cry about it because she was strong-armed into changing her vote. She cried because she knows the next time someone calls her a fraud, she won't be able to deny it to herself.

Yeah, that's not even debatable. That is the reality of the situation.

Today she is coerced into voting 'present' for perks. Tomorrow she is voting 'yes' because, well, her 'present' isn't going to change anything, and there are more perks just... sitting on the table, if she behaves.

I’m flattered

Stand up for what you believe in, even if it means standing alone

You're racist!

2016: No I'm not!

2018 Fuck you!

2020: Don't care!

2022: Why yes, thanks for noticing!

Little do these people know that Hitler was left wing back in the day. The Overton window shifted obviously, but his socialistic views were very much as left as it went back in the day.

Economically sure, but Hitler advocated strongly for traditional family structure and values. I'm more capitalist than Hitler but I respect his understanding of family and nationalism.

Pretty much every socialist country back then, like Russia, China and others. Including Cuba when it went commie.

After all, Che did kill a lot of gays.

And so they weren't the same.

Do you have down syndrome?

How?

Socialism, same peddling of nonsense, same beliefs from that time, same stuff.

Heck, even Che believed nearly the same things as you did. Just check what he said about blacks, which is akin to something I read coming from stormcucks.

Socialism entails the full seizing of the means of production while fascism still allows private ownership. I'm also not a white nationalist or even fascist. I just recognize the value of a society that puts such great weight on the family unit. I hate socialism as much or more than the next person with the ability for inner monologue but the comparison with fascism is patently false.

Watched a Hoppe interview today where he expressed the same thing. They are literally not worth responding to.

Offhand, Glenn Youngkin comes off as a RINO, and frankly seems like a bad choice to laud in this type of article. What does it matter if the winner has an R next to their name, when they're inevitably going to stab you in the back when it counts...
