No you're right, they are simps for defeat. Trump literally had to teach them how to win. Winning once was more than enough and they got tired of winning quickly.
If we understand love as a duty of care, then I would say hard power is required simply as a matter of protection. No one can love you if you can't protect them. Love is just requires a wise, disciplined, and righteous hard power.
Twitter was a propaganda machine. That's why you're pissed off.
That's why Yoel Roth was groomed by the FBI and CIA to censor the Hunter Biden Laptop story almost a full YEAR before anyone came forward publicly about it.
But I agree objFUNNYMAN0341, you aren't a propaganda puppet for the establishment.
You're a used cocksleeve of the establishment.
Yeah, sure, but he's not explaining it that way.
Now you're right in your assessment, but it doesn't take away from the fact that you, effectively, want a CO to have an XO; and for that XO to take your place on certain matters.
It's the old Starship Troopers quote: all authority is derived from violence. Why? Because people are afraid to suffer violence.
I don't totally disagree, but there is a misnomer. The authority of your loved ones doesn't come from their potential violence against you, but a feeling that you have disappointed them, and that you failed in your obligation to them. It hurts you to feel that way, but it is not real violence. Starship Troopers is explaining governmental authority. Moral authority still exists, and political authority can utilize both.
I accept your point, and it's still true. The right wants to be invited to the table, not understanding that they are what's for dinner.
Steve Banon and Matt Walsh are fucking with them soooo bad right now.
I'd feel bad for them if they weren't promising to rape my children, kill my wife, and burn my home down so they can destroy civilization.
They're like "The Knights of Nee", but only if they were actual blood drinking, soul stealing, baby eating demons... that couldn't hear the word "it" without excruciating pain.
Sort of, but almost a bit worse. It's like a contrarian morality. Like a stereotypical super villain. But, only the most evil possible variant of a stereotypical Super Villain.
Something like:
"Woke Man! Why did you rob that bank?!!"
"Because, Good Guy, NOT robbing the bank is good to you, and I'm """evil""" At least to you. Bwhahahahah!"
"But... that doesn't make any sense. Why would you just do something because it's evil? You're not robbing it for money?"
"NO! I don't even want this money! I'm doing it to subvert your expectations!"
"That doesn't make any fucking sense! You're a villain, I expect you to do bad things!"
"That's where you're wrong, Good Guy... I'm actually the hero! And you're standing in my way."
"Woke Man... This still doesn't make any fucking sense. You're literally not the good person here. You're doing objectively evil things."
"YOU FOOL! I'm good because my goal is to bring about Utopia. You're bad because you're trying to stop me from brining about Utopia. Therefore, NOTHING I do against you can be bad because you're deontologically evil and I'm deontologically good! You could help an old lady across the street and I should shoot you and her for it! That would be a Categorical Imperative. On the other hand, I could rape your infant son to death and I'd still be in the right! I'm the real hero! It's the world that's evil! I'm I'm the cure."
"... That... That is the single most evil thing that I've ever heard. You may actually be possessed by a demon. I'm calling The Punisher, possibly Constantine."
