I assume most of us have been in something similar. I was a leftist for a long time but then I was demonized for being white, for being male for liking stuff most guys like in video games or movies. That if I object to being discriminated based on the color of my skin or gender I am suddenly racist? If I question filling kids with hormone blockers or be against kids in drag shows I am now transfobic. We are in a point in history were if you are pro free speech you are a fascist. If I question teaching boys that being a man is toxic I am a misogynist. If you even discuss the idea that man and women may be different on averages do to evolution and genetics you are labeled the worst things. I was not a Trump supporter but I ended up in so many freaking arguments where I was defending him that at one point I was yea like wtf I'll just support him now. I am a bit drunk and heavily depressed today, sorry for the rant.
Let me tell you how fucked up my current company discriminates, before COVID they put me and another guy to do tech venting for new hires, like face to face ask questions and get a reading if a candidate is worth it. I had one guy, young, I think 23-25, the guy was great, the job required linux, databases and networking so I got to talk to him since he was the youngest guy to ever come from HR, he told me about his setup at home, self build with a lot of cool stuff, passionate and friendly, he did well on the simulation test as well on the verbal one. Unfortunately for him he was a white male and the job went to a orange haired land whale woman who failed the tests and had a negative review for the face to face from both me and the other guy because she did not even know what linux was or how to run any commands, she said she worked hardware support but did not even understand the concept of RAID. She ended leaving for another company where she REFUSED to take the tech tests saying she does not know this stuff and they still took her, and she was a total bitch on top of all of that. For some reason I felt so connected to the guy they discarded do to diversity, he was so freaking similar to me years ago and he was so optimistic and friendly and innocent and he was a simple guy from a poor family. After that I HATED with a passion this diversity initiatives, you can't imagine the amount of hate I have for those who push for this.
Well not ALL of us. I was raised by conservative parents. I was aware of all the leftist rhetorical tricks before I was legally able to drive. My dad had a saying: The right is retarded, the left is evil. I used to believe that until I came to the realization that conservatives have been on the losing side of culture for all of history. Now I realize that conservatism is progressivism driving the speed limit.
Conservatives didn't lose the culture war. Its not even a war. Its a race. Conservatives were always going to end up championing universal suffrage, civil rights, porn, and gay marriage, they just got there at their own pace. They'll eventually champion late-term abortion, full legalization of all drugs, universal healthcare, and pedophilia. They'll get there on their own time. That is, if the West doesn't crumble from its own degeneracy first, and we all die.
This is why we don't need Conservatism but Revanchism. We need a political movement willing to reclaim lost ground.
