Modern day leftie vs modern day rightie. The one on the left is the leftie and the one on the right the normal-but in their twisted demented world-they are always right.
I've been DYING to see a bunker take on Trump, this is my first, and 1 minute in it's good!
"They are mostly white, mostly male middle-American radicals, who are unapologetically embracing a new identity politics that prioritises the interests of their own demographic."
"includes a preference for homogeneity over diversity, for stability over change, and for hierarchy and order over radical egalitarianism. Their instinctive wariness of the foreign and the unfamiliar is an instinct that we all share – an evolutionary safeguard against excessive, potentially perilous curiosity"
"natural conservatives have other concerns: chiefly, the preservation of their own tribe and its culture."
"You’ll often encounter doomsday rhetoric in alt-right online communities: that’s because many of them instinctively feel that once large enough and ethnically distinct enough groups are brought together, they will inevitably come to blows. In short, they doubt that full “integration†is ever possible."
"The alt-right’s intellectuals would also argue that culture is inseparable from race. The alt-right believe that some degree of separation between peoples is necessary for a culture to be preserved. A Mosque next to an English street full of houses bearing the flag of St. George, according to alt-righters, is neither an English street nor a Muslim street — separation is necessary for distinctiveness."
"concerns from white voters that they’re going to go extinct" (tee hee, I like that one)
"Don't worry, you can still use Ann's book as kindling." Priceless!
Republicans invented Egalitarianism:
Classical republicanism, also known as civic humanism,[1] is a form of republicanism developed in the Renaissance inspired by the governmental forms and writings of classical antiquity, especially such classical writers as Aristotle, Polybius, and Cicero. Classical republicanism is built around concepts such as civil society, civic virtue and mixed government.
Where are those Republicans today?
Resting on their laurels bragging about something that their party did over 150 years ago.
Trump is merely a reaction to the excesses of the left.
LOL. ALL the Trump-based hatred of establishment Republican neo-conservatism is due to leftist excess? Free trade is leftist excess? Interventionist nation building is leftist excess? Borrow and spend deficit accounting is leftist excess? Who knew?
Trump-based hatred of establishment Republican neo-conservatism
I don't see that "hatred" you're referring to.
Both the neo-conservatives and Trump supporters are opposed to the "New Left": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Left
Certainly Trump has big differences with the Republican establishment, but that has little to do with Trump's base of support.

I just don't feature how you can say that. Even on this forum, almost every Trump supporter bashes the hell out of Bush, the Iraq war, free trade, open borders, corporatism: all the hallmarks of establishment Republicans. Trumps base ranges from the birther, black helicopter watching tin-foil hat wearing doomsday-prepper of the under-educated all the way up to what we see here, namely the anti-establishment libertarian eliminationist homogenizers. You think that what unifies them is solely the cultural "extremism" of Trigglypuff and BLM? I think it's the economics of white America sliding down the ladder closer by a few rungs to the brown and black people. The culture wars are what politicians on the right use to rally their base. The point is what good is egalitarianism if the whites can't thrive under it?
But if you live in a homogenous (monochrome) part of the country, and have lived a sheltered life, I guess it's frightening for some.
these are people who are scared by taco trucks apparently.
I think it's just an excuse for making anything sayable.
Anything IS 'sayable' as long as it originates from you (copyright) and is not child porn or a direct threat/call to violence against someone else. By insinuating that one may need an excuse to voice their opinion/ideology you mark yourself as the authoritarian cultural-marxist (in line with Trigglypuff and BLM) in the room who disrespects free speech. Pretty ironic if you rail against Trump at the same time for having authoritarian tendencies.
"I'm not working class, so I think working class people are doing dandy even though all evidence suggests they are losing ground. Any complaints they have must be because of Racism. Poor Whites are blamed for every failing in the country, I'm shocked that they are sick of the blame game."
I can't wait for H-1B visas to be widespread for Public School Teachers. It's about time Teachers upped their game and had some global competition.

Are you talking about whites or Muslims. I guess those are the people we need to subject to the "right to stay" exam in an effort to be fair to refugee Muslims who are much better

What a thoroughly excellent question! I'm quoting straight from the alt-right's bible scripture and I'm glad you grasp the irony. Thank you for bringing it up. I've said again and again that Patnet's Strumpets' constant drumbeat of examples of what's wrong with America all carry the anti-egalitarian/racist subtext of the Breitbart cesspool. For your edification: http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/03/29/an-establishment-conservatives-guide-to-the-alt-right/

Can you show a single Patnet Strumpet who called Kaepernick's protest anything but unAmerican? The libertarians didn't come to his side. The alt-righters didn't. Lips' subtext was one of race traitor.
The #orangedouchebag is running on the claim that America is falling apart. When a black man says the same thing he gets put down as a mongrel hater of freedom. You guys are a piece of work.

Close the borders to mitigate immigrant pressure on the value of labor, but when it comes to teachers, who obviously aren't real Americans, we need to use immigration to force down the value of their labor. Makes perfect sense to an alt-right conservative.

He was being ironic or facetious.

Kaepernick has the constitutional right to not support the anthem/flag, un-American or not. And I think it would be silly for him to be officially penalized. However the NFL is a private org and can deal with it however they see fit, as well as it is the police's right NOT to volunteer due to his behavior. I haven't seen anybody advocating for legal/criminal consequences for Kaepernick, and that's where most of the right currently differentiates themselves from the left, who think they are morally entitled to counter any opinion/behavior that they don't saction with legal/governmental oppression and use/show of force.

NFL is a governement-sanctioned monopoly. That ought to put some constraints on what they can and cannot do. For example, I think it means that it should give their employees the same right to free speech as citizens have in public spaces, per our constitution.

I'll support Kapernicks's right not to stand for the national anthem. It is un-American not to allow people to protest what is American. That's the whole point of having freedoms.
By the way, did anyone read the Ann Killion column on the topic? I have often thought that the national anthem belongs only at INTERNATIONAL sporting events, and as it turns out, there is now at least ONE more person that agrees with me.

QUOTE:
Though it seems self-evident that being an American absolutely means having the right to express yourself in a form of protest, this has gotten ugly — and I have an idea for how to solve this issue:
Stop playing the national anthem before professional sporting events.
Why do we do this, anyway? It’s an almost 100-year-old tradition, that, lore has it, began with a band playing during the seventh inning of the 1918 World Series. That was weeks before the horror of World War I ended, and the country was in shock, with more than 100,000 young men killed in 17 months.

There is more. Read the whole column, It is good. I'm no big fan of Ann Killion regarding other matters, especially how she handles athletes that have been falsely accused of rape, but this time she hit the nail on the head.

You completely missed the sarcasm inherent in the post.

No, he's spouting alt-right dogma. As the vast majority of his posts do.

No, you just lost control of subtext. You can't make 95% of your posts about how white victimhood (today's stump: burning man race traitors) without it being "about" white victimhood when you sacrifice your signature mechanism of "working class" victimhood in order to punish institutional egalitarianism. You can't help stumping for the alt-right because it summarizes your conservatism. That's all. So, you want to whiten-up public education? Not culturally good enough for you?
Mathew Continetti is worth listening to: starts around 2:50 mark. "They do believe in hierarchies, some of them are racial, they also believe in sexual hierarchies, so a lot of them wave the banner of the men's rights movement, and so you start off from that political position and very quickly when you read the rhetoric it devolves into outright racism, outright misogyny....leads to visceral hatred of the mainstream conservative movement for embracing some version of egalitarianism, civil rights, equality of the sexes."
Egalitarianism, why does it hate freedom and why does it want to destroy the world. We ask you decide.
