There is certainly some truth in what you say but it’s not the whole story or even the most important part of the story.

True technology makes it easier to mobilize “outrage”. But the left hasn’t relied solely on “keyboard outrage”. They’ve also done the hard work the old fashioned way by organizing, taking to the streets, smashing windows, burning businesses, beating and killing and otherwise terrorizing people that don’t toe their line. All this physical destruction is what makes the Twitter storms effective. It is an implied threat contained in the tweets that says this is just a warning in effect saying physical harm will come to you if you don’t do as we say.

But as I said that is not the most important part of the story. Those are just tactics that the left uses to get its way and they are just as available to us as them, but they are the only ones using them. Why is that?

The answer to that question is the important part of the story. And the answer is that the left is much more outraged by whatever “injustices” they see than we on the right are outraged by the real injustices perpetrated by the left and their useful idiots.

So In simple terms the important part of the story is that our side has a huge outrage deficit compared to the left. We are nowhere near as motivated to act or tweet as the left is and so we’re suffering the consequences.

I dunno 'bout that "suffering" part. True, there's plenty of BS afoot. But not locally. I still see it primarily in dem strongholds. Am I s'posed to be "that guy" who hits 85 to Atlanta or Raleigh so I can get in amongst these idiots and end up arrested or creating their much desired photo op? I don't think so. The "good folks" of the Atlanta or Raleigh areas can take care of themselves, I'm sure.

All I've seen locally is the same little group of morons who protest "meat is murder" at the BBQ Festival every year. About a dozen or so fat girls with multi-colored hair chanting idiotic slogans while their soy-boy betas follow them around videoing and praying for someone to start something so they can cry and flop-like-flounders for the cameras all to make the evening news and a splash on social media. Tedious humans. Their cell phones seem to tax their strength enough. Let alone any "implement of destruction".

I've prematurely jumped in the mix in my younger years and felt mighty foolish for some of it. Other "missions" were principled, but useless (think Clinton years).

Given the current conditions of "excitedness" on both sides I'll hafta stick to going by what I see with my own "lying eyes". Which thus far has been the aforementioned idiots and a coupla those virtue signalling "don't beat/rob/destroy-me-cause-I'm-down-with-the-struggle" yard signs. And one Biden 2020.
At most deserving of an eyeroll or flipped "bird". I see no need for going retard... just yet. d;^)

Valid argument, thanks for the response. In that thought, what analogs to this can be found in history? Germany?
