American right-wingers really are the best friends someone can wish for. The guy is an obvious and absolute douche, even ignoring politics, yet 95% of comments here are sincerely pitying and concerned for him with no ulterior motive.
That’s because most of the right wingers here have seen what happens to a lifelong leftist first hand. I would argue a good portion are disillusioned former leftists themselves.
das me. I was a center-leftist when GamerGate started, and now I'm a right populist. I haven't hard 180'd on some positions, but I've hard 180'd on quite a few:
anti gun to pro gun
"some speech can be moderated" to "allow all speech as long as it is not direct calls to violence"
Pro abortion to the 90s stance (last resort, do everything in power to keep the baby, give it up for adoption, encourage the mother to realize the baby is an actual human life, stigmatize abortion so people don't see as an easy way out, can ONLY abort within the first trimester, or earlier if possible).
Pro LGBTBBQ to tepid for LGB but make a separate designation for "LGB marriages". Marriages are reserved as a religious privilege and its original purpose is for one man and one woman, period. LGB "marriages" should remain civil unions. Also remove the state incentives that attach marriages and civil unions to tax benefits and other benefits that married couples get. The government should not be involved in what is considered a pillar of religious institution.
T's are a fucking nuisance that needs to be dealt with separately.
Kick out all illegals. Heavily restrict migration and make it more difficult with a vetting process. No criminals with records allowed. NO chain migration. Must swear allegiance to the US Constitution and the Pledge of Allegiance. PREFERENCE FOR WHITE-ONLY countries (i.e. Western Europe). Hard discrimination against Arabs and Mudslims.
From "maybe these minority groups need help" to re-direct funding used for DEI faggotry and welfare to help white males, defund any pro-female programs. Help veterans because ffs everyone keeps fucking ignoring them while they send mostly the white men of the US to war only to return fucked up as hell.
From "we are one race: the human race" to "races are phenotypes, and there are distinct physical differences between the races. Asians are superior IQ wise, but tend to bias towards skinnier, lankier bodytypes. Blacks are stronger bigger, taller, and faster, but the nature of their original environments results in them being low IQ and needing to trust their primal inner ape to survive, which makes them very prone to violence and unable to control their impulses.
yadda yadda yadda. If the me from 10 years ago met the me from now he'd probably flip the fuck out kek
Well it's mostly because the dude is a guy. Most of us are males - don't think we have any women here so it's a literal sausagefest, and we are all sympathetic to the plight of men because of what the tradcon and far left has done to us.
I'm not religious, and I think OP is a better guy than I am to even try it again, and that's commendable he even tried.
It's commendable. I'm just surprised, as many people here always claim "leftists want us dead". And yet (nearly) everyone in this thread is sincerely concerned about a leftist who isn't even one of the more tolerable specimens.
It seems that wokies are nasty people pretending to be nice, and right-wingers are nice people pretending to be nasty.
You've been here for a long time, why are you surprised?
You saw the heat chart right? Conservatives are more likely to care about the things "around" them. Kitchen table issues, community, family, etc. OP felt a sense of duty (or possibly sadness) that he lost a close friend to far left retardation, and hence why he tried.
The reason why conservatives are nasty to leftists is because they're the ones who shot first. Conservatives became nasty as a self-defense response to the leftists who demonized them with their idpol crap. We'd much rather prefer being nice and living our lives but we keep having these fucktards on the left fucking with us.
If you're a leftist and go "what the fuck, that guy who killed Charlie is a giant piece of shit and I'm ashamed he is even on the same side of me" - that shows self-awareness and a potential to realize your follies. I mean, you are well aware conservatives are capable of forgiveness, but only if you admit you're wrong on your beliefs and you have a potential path to redemption.
I forgot who I watched, I think it was someone talking about Bill Maher's meeting with Trump, but his experience with Trump matched what many people's experience with Trump IRL - Maher learned he's a REALLY nice guy. He seems like an asshole in television, but he's the opposite IRL. Most people who voted for him understand what he does on screen is to be a showman and to purposefully piss the left off. But if you talk to him one on one, he will be kind to you.
Leftism does seem to age very poorly. They're happy being superior but in time their lives seem to break down to horrible levels.
I honestly think he needs help but clearly you can't reach him. He chose reddit "advice" over actual help.

See the pattern?
