We've been down this road as well..and it's another 1-2-3 thing.
Nutballs, right wing propaganda, pc left. I could link pc again and ask you the same questions about what, taken to extremes, would bother you and expect that nothing would...and that you would think each was a great idea.
I actually don't think that your having dipped your toes into the pool of alt right rhetoric is intentional, at all. I can only say this so many times. That's pretty much the entire point of going over -insert rightwing propagandist here- positions, explaining where they originate, explaining what they are used for, explaining why they are wrong, and suggesting reasons that a person may find them compelling despite their having been utterly misinformed. I've run out of non-asshole reasons for how you ended up carrying that baggage. You tell me that all of my non-asshole reasons are wrong. I still think they're a better explanation than you being a recalcitrant bigot, lol.
As I've already explained (and again can only explain so many times) there's no compulsion that you agree with every item.. reasonable people can disagree, but maybe you should disagree directly with pc or sj issues rather than disagreeing with imaginary racist cryptomarxist zealots as though they -were- pc or sj issues? This has always been the bait and switch, and it's not really surprising. As we've discussed..this is a tune that the right has been singing since 1970. If you happened to hum a few bars of the chorus here and there, it's really not that much different than getting a bad pop song stuck in your head.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
