Oh hell no. House of Cards was already ruined by Season 2. Written by pre-Trump-era Democrats, the show runners of a series about political backstabbing didn't understand a single thing about politics.
Sin #1 -They had the Bernie-Socialist recoiling from freezing the government too much?? Any self-respecting Commie-dipshit would be jerking off to how much damage their strike was doing, not clutching their pearls in horror. These writers fundamentally didn't understand how progressive activists think.
Sin #2 -The Putin-Dictator being a metoo-rapist and anti-feminist makes him a hero to the 2014-2016 viewers. The writers had the big bad Russians on one side, the super oppressed Feminists on the other, and backed the wrong horse. Anyone with a clue would have been neutral to the Russians and made the Feminsits a joke.
Sin #3 -The Main Character gets away with everything, all his enemies are retarded. Doesn't this take place in Washington DC? Shouldn't that place be infested with completely insincere backstabbing Democrats? The fact that every other character in the story other than Frank claims to be "one of the good ones" and "doing the right thing" is a clear misunderstanding of how corrupt that place is. The entire city is crawling with Frank Underwoods. He shouldn't be able to open his mouth without being interrupted by three or four knives being thrown at his back.
Yeah. This is so far out of left field I'm just gonna wait it out. Anything that piles up just in front of the election just gets filed under the "that sounds like total bullshit" section until further information comes out. Isn't it funny how so much of these scandals just pop up out of nowhere every four years, and how basically ALL of the scandals come from the right. I'm going back to work and I hope that guy is doing ok.
Nooo, ya think?
Seriously though. The DNC just pumps money directly into Breadtuber channels through their SuperPACs. Reddit just has an army of bots/fake accounts lying in wait for election season. Don't even get me started on Twitter/X. So yeah, every time a Nerdrotic video gets brigaded by random atheists, or a Lotus Eaters video gets swarmed by fans who all repeat the same two or three talking points, I just assume they're from some Vaush discord group somewhere.
Left wing coordination has certain patterns. They just can't help themselves.
There are a couple of philosophies I don't agree with in OP for sure. Pursuing freedom at any cost and letting people do what they want is pure 90s Liberalism. Buuut that's about it. It gets huge plusses from me for having a TON of manly loner characters, a la the Western/Samurai tropes that Oda likes inserting into a Pirate setting. You can't feminize settings like that. Rejection of modernity, also based. Embracing turbulent revolution vs gay peace, very nice.
The 90s Leftism I can handwave away for the Conservative aesthetics. It's like saying Rowling can make a secret society of racially elite superheros where everyone has a gun Left wing: She can't.
I just realised that Conan has a monopoly on teenage detective fiction, which is a testament to how shit Western TV writers are. Holy shit they do not want white kids thinking in front of the telly. You actually need to roll back a few years to get to the Cumberbatch Sherlock which millenials will watch as well.
But there are no bad tactics. Only bad optics.
You are dealing with people who fight you with both hands whilst teaching you it is noble to tie one hand behind your back. And have been doing so since at least the 60s. The appeal to a non-existent "equality" of treatment was the a lie in the first place.
The three books I would recommend to anyone trying to read up vaguely conservative thought are below, and I'd recommend them to college freshmen, not middle schoolers:
Starship Troopers
Why patriotism is necessary for a state to function.
How to be a Conservative
Basic concepts of don't print money, don't destroy traditions, upholding tradition takes work, don't destroy laws, and wanting all of these things is cool.
Vision of the Annointed
What the enemy-there is one, it hates you-is doing, and how to spot it.
I'm not even sure of the value of teaching free market economics other than as a jumping off point. At this point now the only people who still think the market is free are shitlibs. The rest of us know better. Teaching inflation should be heavily underlined that the banker printing the money is unaffected by the effects of inflation but the borrower spending the money is not - and that the banker is never neutral, and has political interests.
This is a world where the elites just flip presidency switches for the UK and US from red to blue at will, and switches global lockdowns off and on at will. given the choice between money and power, the person in charge of printing money will always burn through the money to protect their power. Basic economics will never teach you this.
You are much, much, better served figuring out when the Democrat Party are going to sperg out and get the Fed printing, and understanding the psychology of the average Boomer and how they think the world works than you are reading dcf charts.
I'm pretty sure the one thing that unites the community is how universally hated GW is. Thats why the fans went en masse to 3D printers; the desire to raise a middle finger at Games Workshop is, unironically, a global phenomenon. The fact that they pretend to represent the fans at all is just a sign of how out of touch they are.
I always laugh at the Liberal fantasy of the Cowboy-Doctor, or the Hero-Lawyer, who is the Director of some multi-culti-corporate institute or firm that can stand firm against the rabble when his principles demand it. LOL. That's NOT possible. You rise up the ranks by bending over and taking it up the ass and never taking risks. You don't also get to be the individualistic maverick when you want to. The action requires a Right wing personality to perform. The Cowboy Doctor is like the Anti-Racist Frank Underwood - it's a joke.
