Rogan is absolutely right-wing his advocacy of allowing immigrants from mexico on moral grounds speaks volumes if there's so much overlap between "neoconservatism", "paleoconservatism", "typical conservatism", "trumpism", and "neolibertarianism", I don't see much point in differentiating between them it's an important starting point if you want to understand why they're at odds with each other - why neocons hate paleocons and vice versa, why paleocons lost their **** when trump bombed syria, why the gop hates trump and trump supporters hate the gop establishment, and why some people have the nerve to call themselves "libertarians" while also supporting bombing foreign countries there's a great deal of differentiation on organic citizenship and the role of government, even if the views of those claiming to be of one camp or another have overlaps here or there hanson, for instance, is a democrat with paleocon social/political views and neocon foreign policy views the "alt-right" and "trumpism" boxes should not be completely separate there was a major realignment in the self-proclaimed alt-right after the election, and anyone who did not support ethnopluralism (see: people who did not support racial nationalism) abandoned the label, while the racial nationalists ditched trump as it became increasingly apparent he was not one of them what differentiates "ethnic pluralism" from "ethnic cleansing"? segregation vs genocide Pinochet was a fascist and he's on that dimension calling Pinochet and Mussolini "Trumpists" is a bit like calling Jesus a socialist, or Shakespeare a feminist some trump supporters are fascists, and pinochet and mussolini were not racial fascists, though mussolini was a cultural fascist i'm not saying they're trumpists, but rather there's an overlap in that some trump supporters are civic or cultural fascists jesus was very much a socialist, albeit of the anarcho-pacifistic variety, and shakespeare was very much a feminist, albeit not in the sense it's used today right-wing ideologies are incompatible with populism since it they actively work against the better interests of the majority of people the long-term game of populist ideologies is to build consensus among common folk - rather than politicians - towards a popular coalition in support of their views, even if their views do not reflect the present popular interests --- |

| TheMikh 12/29/18 1:21:14 PM #35 | npc need not be an ideologically charged term anyone who holds positions without thinking about or questioning them and simply reacts rather than thinking things through before they respond can be considered an npc i spend time exploring ways my ideological leaning might be wrong, and actually struck some gold in the form a sound critique a couple days ago, and then proceeded to explore and research both counterpoints and reinforcement to the critique i follow and engage with ideologues i do not completely agree with - left and right - to learn more about what they believe and identify where there are axiomatic bridges to be had i am also very willing to criticize the candidates and party i voted for, and even faults/caveats within my beliefs npcs, by definition, don't do any of this regardless of where they fall on the multidimensional ideological spectrum --- |

| TheMikh 12/29/18 2:50:18 AM #58 | CrimsonRage posted... my "favourite" moderate post: there are far more communists than nazis in this country when nazis rallied in significant numbers and created trouble in '17, the next right-ish rally that was so little as misidentified as a nazi rally by the media had a counter-protest numbering in the tens of thousands so it goes without saying that nobody likes nazis, and everyone is prepared to stamp them out at the drop of a hat - and rightfully so but we're far too comfortable as a society with the prevalence of open communists, and the pervasiveness of communistic talking points in mainstream political discourse - they're not racist like nazis, but they're just as deadly when in power mind you, we're probably not going to see a bolshevik-style revolution, but the creep of growing state power/reach and growing executive authority in conjunction with the leftward shift of the overton window should be just a little bit alarming --- |

| TheMikh 12/29/18 2:36:42 AM #53 | ThyCorndog posted... conservatives alone for the most part except they may do a hot take and say trump is stupid too [neo]liberals/democrats, despite being traditionally open-minded, grew so adamantly self-righteous that they refused to question or debate anything they believed or advocated meanwhile, the massive leftward overton window shift of 2011-2016 has made moderates look conservative by comparison following the bush era, neocons left conservatism in smoldering ruin, and during the obama years conservatives were really trying to figure themselves out again - which entailed an increasing amount of lowkey engagement with (and criticism by) moderates, rightist elements, and even some leftist elements so basically, there's quite a bit of mutual understanding between all those groups - moderates, conservatives, leftists - and if you read their critiques of the [neo]liberal zeitgeist in the wake of the '16 election, they all had a far more intimate understanding of the state of affairs than [neo]liberals/democrats, whose broadsiding came as a total shock unfortunately it seems many moderates have had a bit of a marriage of convenience with the younger neocons since they both hate trump - neocons because he's philosophically at odds with them, moderates because it's trendy i presume - meaning we run the risk of another bush-style republican in the future, which literally nobody outside the beltway ****ing wants tl;dr: moderates spent years criticizing conservatives, but gave a blind eye to liberals, who they've more recently been taking on in the hopes of bringing them back to earth --- |
