I get that you think you're supporting the right because liberty, blah blah blah. The vision of liberty they've sold you, that you've shared in this thread... is a con. I've repeatedly pointed out all the ways that it's a con.
Ironically, and fucking heinously, that vision of liberty has been used to created illiberty. Unjustice. Inequality. You clearly have a problem identifying where trends in politics comes from, you've been resisting the origin of your politics for some time. You failed to realize that an acknowledgement that identity poltics is being used doesn't mean that the person who acknowledges it is the one doing it.
But hey, the american right told you that the PC SJW left was comin forya, and making it all about Those People.
-and you believed em.
Yeah, I'm a champion of the fucking right. Until you acknowledge the things I actually say, I'm just going to keep reposting this:
Hitler's Dog Wrote:When I said that in the case of natives, I support a blanket demographic support, was THAT also an expression of alt-right indoctrination? When I said many pages ago that I felt black people should rise up and take power if that was their goal, and that I would respect them for that, would you say THAT was an expression of alt-right indoctrination? When I said that prisoners should be offered release conditional on contracts with financial incentives for success and released from prison, was THAT an expression of alt-right indoctrination?I promoted identity support for natives precisely because it is their identity which is under attack-- not just their persons, but what it means for them to be native. You can't express yourself in action (i.e. act according to my definition of liberty) if even your sense of self-identity is taken away from you.
I support black people standing up in arms if they choose to do so, because I believe the constitution of the US allows for the possession of arms with the intent of standing against tyranny, and the abuse of positions of privilege, both in police and in government represent tyranny, i.e. the polar opposite of liberty under my definition. Nobody ever had a plan to be pulled over for a broken tail light, ripped out of his car because his timing in reaching for ID scared some fuckwit cop, and then thrown in jail for obstruction of justice when he struggled against the cop's unwarranted attempts to restrain him.
I support incentives over entitlements, because I think it is infinitely more likely to cause people to make goals and to pursue them, i.e. I believe it's the best way to promote liberty as I define it. Unless people have a reasonable expectation that they'll be given a chance to be productive, and then amply rewarded for the value of that production, they don't really have liberty-- whether they're behind bars or not.
What I do NOT promote is thought policing, guilt by association, stereotyping, and most especially limitations on free speech. I fucking HATE white racists, but I would die for their right to say stupid shit, so long as it doesn't constitute a threat to the liberty of others. I dislike the PC left, but I would die for their right to say stupid shit, so long as it doesn't constitute a threat to the liberty of others.
