Also, since you're using this forum as a proxy for the "anime right,"
I would say the ascendant faction on the right is actually a third party I will call the "1488 right."

I think you're both making the same mistake. There is no "new faction" of the right. What we're really seeing is a multitude of groups with fuzzy separations where the only real commonality is they are against the insanity of today's left. The gay 2A advocate, the pro-life boomer, the free-speech absolutionist, the union guy who has personally felt the open borders, the anti-feminization manosphere guy, the AIPAC neocon, the race-realist; they're not natural allies. At least not on every front.

That's why we've got to be extremely careful about purity spiraling. The best we can realistically aim for is: get government and the courts out of it and let culture and social pressure resolve the rest. That's the common ground. Shame worked great before. It's the infestation of lawyers into every aspect of human interaction that's destroyed the US.

And in that vein, this forum isn't a bad example. We don't have a united voice on every issue. But we don't need it to be an echo chamber. That's not the point. The free exchange of idea is.
