I see that James Lindsay thinks of himself as a Liberal, in the classical sense- respect other points of view, study other points of view while defending yours, who is horrified at the new Left putting everything into Marxist struggle terms.

At the end of the day it all boils down to this: they abhore the civilized lifestyle. They are anti-civilization.

They are coyotes complaining that they are living in a society full of domesticated dogs. What are the dogs to do?

Summarized: argumentation is a weapon, as far as the Left is concerned. The only thing which matters is the Revolution.

Speech which advances the Revolution is “Truth”.

Speech which works against the Revolution is “Lies”.

They are in a state of war against us. When our speech reveals us as being “the Enemy”, then the response can only be to attack and destroy the Enemy, by whatever means necessary.

There can be no coexistence with the Left.

It’s a subtle description, “my truth.” Tossed out as if personal experience somehow supercedes the objective truth. It should be corrected whenever spoken.

This CRT, SJW, BLM and whatever other bullshit promoted seems to rely on a fantasy land of lies, feelings and personal/cultural shortcomings. We need to fight it on every level including this stupid attempt to give relevance based on “my truth.”

Parents who truly hate their children send them to Public “Schools”.

Then those that send them to college must really, really hate them.

Look no further than the Frankfurt school and critical theory.

At work we have these required meetings to sum up the week's problems and plot a path forward. Every week for years the issues are roughly the same, just rebranded. Every manager has a snappy answer to every problem, cause, and solution ready to go. Full understanding and control is declared and celebrated.

I began to refuse to attend the meetings in protest. I said until I hear someone say "I don't know what happened or what to do about it yet?" I will no longer participate. I mean why have a meeting if an organization and each manager knows everything and knows what needs to be done about it?

These self licking ice cream cones are everywhere! Their flavor is the tastiest. They satisfy! They celebrate their uncompromising goodness. It's not just social and political wokeness. The mindset has permeated every aspect of our social and industrial processes.

“They control everything and are slowly changing American culture. They are winning.”

I would say, that in the main, they’ve already won.
I disagree that the change is happening slowly. The change in perceptions of social norms (opinions on issues like drug use, sexual orientation) was slow to change, but as soon as a tipping point was reached, the changes happened pretty fast.

All thru 2020 I heard people talk about things going back to normal. There’s never any going back. A new “normal” will eventually emerge, but the wheel only turns one way.

40 years ago my high school economic teacher nailed it when he said;

Conservatives think Liberals are people with bad ideas.
Liberals think Conservatives are bad people.

And now we’re all “suffraging” because of it.

I go by the saying “There’s my truth. There’s your truth, and then there’s the truth”. We all go by our own truth be it left or right but it doesn’t make it “the truth”.

It’s impossible for even them to keep up with what is “proper”.

Lots of big words mumbo jumbo’ed together to form a totally unreadable article.
I can sum it up for you in one sentence:

I want what you have, and I am going to take it from you, by force if necessary.

While we like talking about ‘red pills’ on our side, don’t ever forget that the Matrix is a leftist death fantasy written by perv trannies.

The article is spot on — free people are to them just sheep in an evil system we can’t see or be able to see, and must be eradicated.

“How can anybody work out a compromise with that attitude?”

I have STATED it since 2003 on FR nearing a thousandth time now.

WE CAN NEVER CO-EXIST WITH THE LEFT. Stop pretending you can. You can’t. For the country to survive, one side has to “go”.
