@meinking22 Since you didn't include a handle in your response, by default that should indicate that your response is an answer to the original poster. But you say "You are wrong", then proceed to agree with the OP's point. I guess you're responding to someone else. If you hit the "Reply" link under a particular post the reply text box will open with the handle of the person whose post you're replying to so there is less confusion.

@scalesofleviathan9697 By that standard Communism AS PRACTICED is right wing. The most hierarchical and despotic states in the world are either communist or Islamic. What is the point of obsessing over minor differences nobody cares about and pretending they represent "OPPOSITE" ends of a meaningful political "spectrum"? (Other than obscuring the central issues) "A difference that MAKES no difference IS no difference." Both commies and Nazis will: Divide the public and foster hate along class/religious/gender/class lines Segregate Central plan the economy Nationalize the press End freedom of speech Confiscate weapons Persecute all non state sponsored religions End all civil rights, including the rights enumerated in the US Constitution (and the Magna Carta). Evict innocent citizens from their homes Mobilize the apparatus of law and tax enforcement against their political enemies Slander, imprison, and murder their political enemies Eliminate or absorb all public organizations Replace commercial entertainment media with a boring stream of propaganda. The minor, insignificant differences between communism and Nazism are only important to communists and Nazis, not to anybody who loves freedom. You won't distract us from our fight for freedom with your internal socialist squabble over who should be our master. "He is in great fear, not knowing what mighty one may suddenly appear, wielding the Ring, and assailing him with war, seeking to cast him down and take his place. That we should wish to cast him down and have no one in his place is not a thought that occurs to his mind."-J.R.R. Tolkien, "Lord of the Rings"

@firefly9838 Anarchy would be the result of continuing infinitely in our current direction. But we don't intend to go there, and probably couldn't if we did.

@firefly9838 Your question assumes premises not in evidence. You understood him. Feigning ignorance is not an argument. It's a troll.

@TrueCarthaginian Yeah, and if you use violence when you don't have to, you probably won't fix anything.

Not if the leftists win.

@kennykaufman8263 The tears of a crybully are not legitimate objects of pity. We can afford to pity them when we have defeated them. We haven't yet, but we're making progress. That we are cruel is "the narrative" which has been weaponized against us. Being apologetic at this point plays into it.

@Vorgaloth Yes. And an ANOSTIC. It is the atheists that want to obscure that distinction, not theists.

Yes, an agnostic that isn't an anti-theist like the old "new atheists". Even Dawkins is dithering and backpedaling a bit. Both Elon and Dawkins have called themselves recently "cultural Christians", but crucially Elon doesn't hate Christianity and want to extirpate it like Dawkins does (after Christianity has, he hopes, saved Britain from the onslaught of the Paynim hordes. Again.) I fully expect Dawkins, at least to resume business as usual as soon as Britain's existential crisis has passed (if it does). I've prayed for Christian resurgence and revival. But I've also prayed for this. For us, Jesus will not be used as a means to an end, He is Lord, but it's only Christian charity to wish for our neighbors all the grace they can receive, and peace and prosperity as a temporal good, with all its spiritual dangers.

@dw7939 That is actually his managerial and engineering method. Simplify until something stops working, then reinstall if needed. It seems to work for him. We've done worse.

I don't think we're at the moral crisis point yet. This is the TACTICAL and STRATEGIC crisis point. The entrenched power is putting up a fight. When we have filibuster proof majorities in both Houses, control the legislatures in a few more states, and much of the legacy media has gone bankrupt, and we're reducing the national debt that's when we need to watch ourselves. Currently we are "in power" only in the most liberal sense of the term.
