Quote:Like their lefty counterpart, they also perpetuate a culture of separation and paranoia.It may induce a similar state of apprehension but at least the presentation is built of facts rather than uneducated speculation.
Quote:Sad to politicize social issues bc it's pretty much intellectual rather than based on experience.I didn't really understand the conservative stance on things until fairly recently, I like many others believed that the only reason someone would endorse such an ideology would be to take money from poor ppl. It is actually a much more "from the ground up" approach built off experience and fact rather than idealism as opposed to the left. As anyone with experience with communism can tell you that communism is an awful idea despite what some college kid spews at a rally. What's interesting is that Marx and Engles never actually worked a day in their lives yet had the tenacity to call themselves spokesmen for the "working man", that's a lack of experience in an incredibly influential critique of society.
The fact of the matter is Rie, I cannot say I'm proud of my culture without being seen as a racist fascist nazi, this politically correct narrative is actually a pretty big issue that I think people should be aware of. I'm not a supporter of right wing ideology (or really any ideology) but this guy and others on that side do have good things to say and do but are too often dismissed as "rich racist white men" due to this ridiculous and fallacious, deep ingrained narrative running through western society.
