The Turn

[Bud_Spencer]

Aka, getting red-pilled. Liel Liebovitz makes the journey from left to right, not despite his liberalism, but because of it.

"You don’t get to be “against the rich” if the richest people in the country fund your party in order to preserve their government-sponsored monopolies. You are not “a supporter of free speech” if you oppose free speech for people who disagree with you. You are not “for the people” if you pit most of them against each other based on the color of their skin, or force them out of their jobs because of personal choices related to their bodies. You are not “serious about economic inequality” when you happily order from Amazon without caring much for the devastating impact your purchases have on the small businesses that increasingly are either subjugated by Jeff Bezos’ behemoth or crushed by it altogether. You are not “for science” if you refuse to consider hypotheses that don’t conform to your political convictions and then try to ban critical thought and inquiry from the internet. You are not an “anti-racist” if you label—and sort!—people by race. You are not “against conformism” when you scare people out of voicing dissenting opinions."


The upshot:

"But, having been there before, I have one important thing to tell you: If the left is going to make it “right wing” to simply be decent, then it’s OK to be right."

Welcome home, Mr. Liebovitz.

More and more are finding this out and speaking out about it. However, it's only a few rational voices against the shouting hoards being indoctrinated every day into the Leftist cult mania.

I'm seeing it more an more: Pushback. I think a preference cascade is underway, despite the best efforts of the Ruling Class and their Big Tech toadies to suppress it.

Well written article and spot on the money!

I see it too. The question remains, will it be enough to overcome the new influx of "true believers" come next November?

We have to get over the idea that we can fix this with the "right people" getting into office. This is a cultural phenomenon, and will only be resolved culturally. We have to take back our institutions from those who are destroying them, and it's not going to be quick or easy.

This is, on the one hand, true enough. However, without putting "the right people" into office, the cultural resolution will never begin.


The other hand tells me that changing our current social predicament is indeed quick and easy. It's also very very very bloody.

We need to have control over institutions so we can indoctrinate people to think correctly.

I wish that you fuckers would cut out the bullshit and just be honest. You know that trump is an ignorant dumbass and that the election wasn't stolen. You hate people who don't have the same extremist beliefs as you, and you would prefer that they die or make a contribution to your society by surrendering to slavery.

The Left is driving Nobel-winning scientists out of their jobs because of goofy jokes.

Tell us more about this "hate," LD.

 

[Rightguide]

The overreach during the pandemic, the Marxist disaster taking place in our public schools, bowing down to brutal enemies, ranches, towns, and cities being invaded by foreign nationals, massive government spending packages that have no voter mandate, leadership cowardice in the face of our enemies, historic crimes waves in all blue cities, are all bringing people to the right who thought they'd never be there. We saw this in Virginia and elsewhere. We see it in the polls and the left sees it too.

Tell us about trump's diplomatic strategy with his Marxist buddy the little rocket man. Attack him publicly with a stupid nickname like a 12 year old, then go to meet him and give him a s cassette of Elton John's song Rocketman. If that doesn't work, try to convince the Communist dictator to turn his country into a resort. After that disastrous diplomatic adventure, declare success and claim that you saved the world.

Did Little Rocket Man fire any missiles after meeting with Trump?

You wish they’d be honest then spew some profoundly stupid lies in your last sentence.

Not a good look.

Did Little Rocket Man fire any missiles after meeting with Trump?

Yes, he did, not immediately but eventually.

 

[Rightguide]

He fired no rockets of the kind of size he was launching prior to the Trump admin. He didn't threaten Guam after meeting with Trump either. It looks like Trump could be back in 2024 to save the country again. Can't wait for your terminal case of TDS.

Save the country?

Bwahaha. He did more damage to our democracy then communism ever was able to.

An empty phrase, used by fools.

 

[Rightguide]

Save the country?

Bwahaha. He did more damage to our democracy then communism ever was able to.

It was a metaphor for its opposite, which is the Democrat destruction of the country.

No, you did that when you conspired to overthrow the duly elected Donald Trump with lies and sedition.

List them.
