I'll get smacked by whichever side is at the helm, but I'm pretty sure the right will smack me less than the left.
At least the right will smack you in ways that strengthen society rather than destroy it, and encourage you to strengthen yourself too.
Given the left's moral posturing, you might be correct, but there are elements of the right which are entirely moralistic as well. I think CS Lewis had the right of it:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
― C. S. Lewis
would be an interesting conundrum indeed, were it not proven natural law that the third-position-type-"right"'s pragmatic and sensible morals more often than not do truly lead to good outcomes.
puritan-style tongue searing (or would it be finger searing?) if you so much as type Jesus with a lowercase J might be the image that the term "right-wing authoritarianism" evokes, but personally i think stuff like that is just plain insane, which means it can be rather neatly lumped in with the left which is equally insane. it definitely should not be the image of what we refer to as "the right" and which cannot be seen anywhere in popular society today, since that sort of ideology stands for a reasonability which would forbid needless tyranny like cutting your ears off if you listen to nigger rap.
we may, however, confiscate the fire mixtape, and recommend some mozart. i don't think anyone could blame us for that.
Mozart is colonialist, fascist adjacent, imperialist music.
Thus, I approve.
Not so sure about that. Extremes of woke Leftwing Authoritarian Identity Politics: CCP China. Extremes of awakening Rightwing Authoritarian Identity Politics: Theocratic Islamic State(s) in MENA.
Comparing Christians to Muslims...LOL.
We haven’t had anything near Christian theocracy in centuries.
We haven't had anything I would call a Christian theocracy in the west in like 200 years, so that strikes me as incredibly unlikely.
That said, the prospect of Islamification of Europe over the next 200 years is a real one - I don't see any resurgence of Christianity coming, so Islam may well be the future of Europe. Hopefully by peaceful conversion rather by the typical Islamic method of the sword.
Ooooh nooo....how awful...
whut, Chyna hates niggers and faggots
Look up the term "Useful idiots".
huh i mean if you look at Chyna's policies the only thing that fits your long description is authoritarian, they're not really communists or socialists, some might even consider them cut throat capitalists in certain sectors. they don't support diversity, immigration, or lgbtq agendas, the government has control over elections and media but so do ours, they just didn't bother with the illusion of giving people the power. they might financially support woke stuffs abroad as ways to undermine the west, but they themselves did not drink the coolaid
