I had an internet connections and a TV for years, and I never saw black people behaving badly. First place I actually did see it was that sub PublicFreakout, before they purged anything that made their favorite demographics look bad.
True, but people old enough to remember the LA riots & rodney king, or OJ Simpson, etc might feel differently. There was a lull in black shit after OJ until BLM started to ramp up in 2014, culminating in the riots in 2020.
There is also a pervasive global belief that blacks are backward and inferior based on the simple truth that Africa is such a shitshow. Everyone knows Africa is backward and poor, and the logical conclusion is that it's because the people living there are fuck ups who can't get their shit straight. These kinds of beliefs are reinforced by things like AIDS becoming so rampant there and literally no where else in the world, and also stuff like the murder of white farmers leading to famine, riots in south africa, constant stories of things like tribal genocide and mass murder (congo in the 90s, south sudan, etc), and somalia being a failed state with pirates.
If they get everything they want, they'll fabricate new grievances, splinter their old coalition, and just keep grinding on.
True but that's why if you put them (intersectional groups) all on an island together they'd immediately devolve into a battle royale against each other. Sure you'd have "sane" voices like Bill Maher, who are only half-retarded Leftists, but they'd be a small minority on that island and likely eaten first. Maher only gains traction in the US because he appeals to a class of white people, especially women, who reject the Right because they drank the kool-aid that Republicans are evil racist misogynist blah blah blah, and these people want a huge, overbearing welfare state and socialism and the stripping of many freedoms, but they're not on board with what their intersectional tribal allies want. They pretend to be, because they feel they need to to present a unified front against the Right, but deep down they're against it, they're just too afraid to speak out. Maher speaks out for them, so they can rally behind him. That's his niche. It's still a minority position on the Left, though. They aren't nominating or electing people like Maher.
Obviously, that last part is true of the right as well. Suppose you arrive at a socially conservative consensus, then a lot of people who don't want tax cuts for Goldman Sachs will splinter from the right. This may be why the right never actually gets anything done, because it keeps people as hostage to their movement.
I don't actually agree. I think the vast majority of people on the Right just want freedom, capitalism, and generally the status quo of a couple decades ago before the woke shit came in. Most of them would be happy to be apolitical, and the only reason most people on the Right are becoming more political now is as a defensive reaction.
Yes, there are some authoritarians on the right who want to do shit like ban porn, but they're a minority and in a "right wing only" state, the authoritarians would be in the minority and lack power, particularly because the whole reason the authoritarians get any motivation is because they feel they need to resort to authoritarianism to combat the degeneracy of the Left, which would not exist in a Right-only state.

Yeah, I think the LA Riots definitely had some effect. My dad once told me something like "whenever the power goes out, black people start stealing stuff". I think that was the result of that.

Maybe, but obviously, you can also blame it on colonialism which a lot of people do. I don't think it's either, but there you go.

I think it's the majority position on the left, or would be. The problem is that all the elites are on the other side, so Maher's position will lose out.

That certainly is true for me. I really don't care about politics, or don't want to care, but the problem is that it keeps coming for me.

H..Have you been on the internet? My dude, the majority position on the Left was to elect Bernie Sanders. It was the Democrat elites that conspired to stop Bernie. The elites are a lot closer to Maher, not the populace. The populace are a lot closer to AOC.

That's the root of conservatism, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and respecting things like tradition. Not pushing radical change. So if you take away all the Left, the Right would for the most part just be chill and let things be as they always have been without trying to fuck everything up all the time.

Folks on the internet are just the terminally online people, not regular people.
Maybe they advocate for Bernie Sanders more, but that's because regular people are less likely to support neoliberalism than elites - because they believe his social democracy is to their benefit.

You still will have social change which creates radical change. You will have to deal with that. And that's where things like porn bans come in.

Maher is a quintessential neoliberal.
