@Arcaryon I don't see the rightwing as radical at all, in fact for a long time they have been very weak, Trump is not even a hardcore republican, he's donated to both causes the democrats and the progressives are the extreme radicals who mostly engage in violence, censorship and demonizing of others much more so then the right does, the rightwing in the USA hates the more fringe groups within their own party while the democrates embrace theirs, saying they are both the same just seems inaccurate to me.
Im not even american and Im constantly finding more evidence that the left in the USA is nuts, the rightwing is very tame and not radical at all.
I think I do understand your world view because before Trump you were correct, both parties sucked, they were all neocons and neo-libs but Trump was the outsider which is why the media and big tech hate him so much, many old republicans hate him and a lot of democrats who used to hate some of those republicans like George W bush now like him because he ain't Trump, it's insane which is why so many people voted for Trump, more than in 2016.
Many in the far left also hate Biden and the democratic party looks more broken than the republicans under Trump, esspecialy the censorship and cancel culture of the left and big tech is clearly anti Trump and anti rightwing, it's far more worrying than Trump is, Trump is just one person, he's not some radical, he does not seek to end NATO but his replacement might and the republican voter base is not radical at all but if they were they could do a lot more damage than the left they just aren't radical but they might become due to the democrats flirting with the far left.

@Arcaryon because they have no logical basis and counter early statements he made.
Example, Trump in the 90s was very pro democrat, he donated to their political party, his hotels were open for all minorities regardless of color or religion, he himself is not some hillbilly from the south, he's from new york.
The narrative of "he's a racist" only started to be spun when he put his candidate position for president forward and those claims were never based on anything he said or did and anything close to it was taken out of context and later redacted by the media that posted them as truth.
For the last 4 years the media hammered on Trump on every little thing he did and pretended everything was somehow racist or stupid even through many worse things were said by the democratic candidates including Joe Biden, which the media never dared to adress, the contras between how the media treats Trump and how they treat Biden is night and day and the only reason why it seems is because Trump is not an insider, he's not the conventional leader, he's bold and his actions speak louder then his words.
Another narrative that was spun is that he is somehow a tyrant, even though he was the most pro free speech and pro guns president in US history and within just a few days in office Biden has signed executive orders without stop to reverse all of Trumps policies (except tarriefs on China) and he wants to take your guns and rights away, not to mention the open racism and discrimination towards white people shown by the democratic party right now.
The mask has been lifted, the media and elites have been revealed, trust in the media and politicians is more down then ever and it's not because of Trump, it's despite Trumps best efforts to unite the country against the hatred and violence of the left and the elites.
Very few people now trust the media and big tech is so totalitarian and one-sided that most people consider them the enemy of the people which they are and only the leftwing is defending them because their opposition is being censored the most and they like it that way.
You could write whole books about all the lies and inaccurate propaganda by the media and many do and then you will have Antifa and NYT write hit pieces about you, even the president himself got censored by Twitter, it can't get more clear who runs the show and it ain't the people, they voted for Trump.

@oremfrien first thanks for writing your response, it was interesting to read.
that being said, im not so convinced that Trump was as bad as you say, from what I've seen from him his tax changes were not just for the upper class of the USA and the concentration of wealth in the richest few has been going on long before he came into power and will continue even after he left, his anti China stance is actually something very brave and respectable because while many corporations want to outsource to China and even if many lower skilled jobs or voters who voted for him him lose money, the threat of China on the world stage is much more concerning than their wealth.
Obama envisioned a world where the USA and China benefit eachother and Trump views China more as an antagonistic player and a potential threat to US hegemony and I think he is correct in engaging against China, it does not mean all his actions were effective and I would disagree more with his hostile stance towards NATO and his stance against his European allies, though his demands towards them were not very unreasonable, though could have been done better.
Trump has always been very pro freedom of speech, signing executive orders specifically to protect freedom of speech at universities and speak out against mainstream media misinformation and online censorship, though he could have done a lot more if he wanted to.
I find the 4 years of nonstop anti Trump propaganda and big tech censorship of him while being acting president, far more disturbing and without the corona virus and changes to voter laws he would not have lost the 2020 election, about the issue of voter fraud, from what I gathered the amount of dislike people have towards Biden compared to the amount of votes he has gotten, while also compared to the limited number of counties he actually got the claims of voter fraud seem quite convincing but to see that and prove it in court are two very different things, which is why it's also very telling that the supreme court did not weigh in on this, if they had done so this story would have been laid to rest for everyone, Trump would have looked like a fool and the democrats would have appeared far better than they actually did all year.
many if not most of Trump's voter base still believes he was rigged out of the presidency and trust in the government, the media and government institutions is at an all time low, violent gangs run parts of major cities, the capital riots did not happen because of Trump but the view that his supporters were not being represented and then demonized in the media while all year long riots and deaths by other more democratic supported sides were allowed and praised.
there is a massive disconnect between the elites, the political parties and the people, Trump and his voter base are still present within the general population, Trump or his potential replacement will most likely run in 2024.
my view is that Trump was a great president who was undone because he tried to take the neo-con route of trying to make compremises between elites within his party and the democratic party, he did not go full populist on issues that realy matter to the people and he was too populist when it came to allies and creating a comprehensive plan against China, for a person who never was in politics, who suddenly became the president, with elites, the media and the rich largely against him, like never before against any president, despite not having caused any new wars and actually trying to bring troops back but being denied by his own generals, this is quite concerning.
love him, hate him, Trump is here to stay and represents a revolt of the masses against the current structure in power, that does not mean he will win, that does not mean he won't matter, it does not mean he is fantastic and will always do the right thing or wrong thing, it just means he has influence in the USA and people will support him, if he wins in 2024 or picks a new candidate to give his support to, he will influence politics for better or for worse, I think it will be for the better.
for the record, im not even American, I'm Dutch but I think he is the best choice for the USA and for now the best person to stand up against China, though I will agree with you, if the democrats ran with someone like Andrew Yang then that would be a good choice against Trump and for the USA, from my view it would be one good choice against another potentially good choice, where as with Biden it's just bad and just Obama 2.0

@oremfrien
''Obviously, I disagree with you that Trump was a good president; I rank him among our worse Presidents like Grant or Harding. I believe he led to increased partisanship, massive deregulation of the economy, failed in responding to the greatest American tragedy since World War II, and committed numerous other failings. My hope, as unlikely as it seems for the moment, is that the Elites come to realize that an economy that only does well for them will bring about another Gilded Age with all of the pain and horror that this would lead to.''
I heard Tomas Sowel call Obama the worst president in US history and seeing how his presidency led to the rise of Trump there is some evidence to support this.
as for Trump's presidency, I listened to Victor David Hansons views of his presidency and he seemed far more positive towards Trump, Trump was an unusual president and bombastic for sure but his efforts and policies along with his direct means of communication towards the people felt very sobering and connective to his supporters.
many people supported his views on the media, big tech, the US roll in wars over seas, his attempts to empower the US economy and standing up to China, even now Biden's policy is a continuation of Trump's policy towards China though perhaps less antagonistic towards US allies like in Europe which is good but at the same time he appears weak and mild towards Russia.
Victor David Hanson put Trump's policies as ''wielding a big stick''
now what I find more worrying is how Trump got kicked off Twiter while being the president, if he runs again in 2020 will he be allowed to communicate with the people? if not then perhaps his own platform will be the only way to speak to his fans.
now do I think he might win in 2024? well it depends, he lost in 2020 due to the corona pandemic and constant media hunting his ever move for 4 years, so now the media is a bit quiet but their rates are likely to tank the moment the pandemic ends, which if it's not resolved by 2024 will be more ammo for Trump's potential relection run.
some people though think it might be best for him to pass the torch to someone els, which is possible but as of right now unlikely to me, who knows? we shall see, overal I disagree with your points but I respect your opinion and perhaps your right and im wrong but im just not sure so il go with what my gut tells me to be true.

@oremfrien interesting, what do you think of the whole ID cards are racist coming from some people on the democratic side? Honestly as a non american looking in how americans do their elections and how the media and politicians talk about certain issues is absolutely bizzar and insane.
Here in the Netherlands, people all vote in person, show ID card, their ballot card and cast a vote, that's it. The only exception to this would be people unable to vote for whatever reason and so either allow other people to cast their vote for them in person or mail in vote but always with ID copy and signature, the idea of vote harvesting is bizzar to me.
As for the manner in which the USA elections spend so much per party, make ads while at the same time never talking about actual policies is so weird, I mean we all know politicians lie but the USA it's a huge puppet show and everyone just goes along with it, it's bizzar to see.
Im not sure if courts in the USA are that great, they seem biased and are influenced if there is an angry mob standing outside, I always thought higher courts had to accept cases that were dismissed in lower courts, here in the Netherlands if your case gets dismissed you can go to higher courts all the way to the European court of justice, most don't because it's very costly and time consuming but in the USA it looks like the Supreme court can decide to take any or no cases at all, so what's the point of having them if they don't weigh in on important questions for the public? Regardless if there is little to no evidence, if the Supreme court is the highest law of the land, them not giving a verdict to me at least seems like a dividing issue for american citizens, I talk to a lot of Trump fans and most of them feel robbed and cheated out of the election which if Proven wrong by the highest court in the land would convince many of them that this is not the case, instead I saw a lot of censorship, cases being thrown out and the same propaganda media that lied for 4 years say "this was the most secure election ever" which is the most gaslighting phrase I've ever heard, not good for anyone trying to unite the country, in my view.
Doubt 2024 will be any better, expect more of the same.

@lif3andthings763 how can you argue when your oppenent is silenced? and why would I try to argue with someone as blind like you? im simply telling and you can believe me or not.
if you can't see true racism in the media, the elites, academics, the corporations, big tech, the narratives of the legacy media and the specific people they blame for all ills on a color basis then I don't know what will convince you, to me you just seem like an ignorant person who does not wish to admit to the truth or is to blind to see it.
honestly I pitty you, it must be hard to live like that, blind and convinced of a fake reality that blames one group, yet pretends otherwise and unable to learn and see the truth, go to a university, look at a protests, watch some of the media propaganda, look who they blame, look at the police who do they kill and for who are there no protests? and when there are who calls them ''far right'' and why? look at who's lives matters and which don't, perhaps then you will start to see the truth.
now to check if youtube censors me again.

@b4u334 your not making an honest and objective analisis of a real potential total war set up between the US and China, you are correct in seeing the defensive geopgraphy of the USA but you aren't looking the same way at China's or their level of technological advancement.
China has airplanes with the same level of US ones and they are expanding on every front as well, if a war broke out now the USA would win but look at it long term and consider where the USA will be within 10-20 years, China can innovate in ways which are literally illigale in the USA and has the potential to engage in next level forms of warfare of which the USA is not prepared for.
Im not saying this as a childish "bro China could kick the USA's ass" but more as a warning that I don't think the USA is fully prepared or able to see the potential outcomes.
I do think the USA can't be invaded by China, partly because it's hard but more so because there is nothing to gain through it, there is no land to annex, no spoils to be had, the way China wins is by removing US allies in the region, so Japan, Korea, Vietnam, India, Taiwan and wild card Russia, there realy is no just US vs China and in China's sphere they have the advantage.
China would have to make war to costly for the USA while giving the american public an alternative that's way more tempting.
The US government under Biden esspecialy is not going to be tough on China and is going to undermine their own position, China is just buying their time and the USA has decided to abandon much of the innovation they had before while China is attempting to build their own high tech development sector and already they dominate upcoming markets, AI, quantum computing, 5g, so on.
The biggest thing the USA has got going for them is they have become an oil exporter and have the potential to outgrow the Chinese economy as their population shrinks but it will be the US allies that will help contain China the most, if you lose them, you lose the war or rather you will give what China needs to become the next super power.
As for ww2, USA got late into the war and supplied most other nations for the main fighting, they were the ones fighting the jappanese the most, it never realy was a threat to the USA, just to US expansion and jappanese expansionism, same now with China but much worse than during ww2, hell soviet union was not as strong as China is today in my opinion.

@b4u334 like I said nobody wants to invade the US mainland because it's not worth investing in, there are nations that can do it like China, the issue is they need to get rid of the US fleet and allies first but if they can land there then they could take over, it's just that no sane nation would try and do it because it's not worth it, the natural barriers and way the USA is positioned as well as their rather weak allies around them means no-one can directly attack them unlike most of the rest of the world's countries.
as for Biden, Im not sure what his plans or what the department of treasury, commerce and defence are planning, if you know any sites where i can read up on that I be happy to but so far very little seems to be reported on and most of the ''news'' channels these days aren't exactly trustworthy to report on such things, as for Biden himself he does not seem very hard on China at all and seems dead set on erasing all of Trumps policies so why would I assume he's going to be tough on China?
as for Innovation, the USA has been going down on many of it's former great advancements and as a political and cultural entity seems to be going down as well, the reason why the US is an oil exporter is because they have oil and the technology to extract it, that's not proper innovation, innovation is creating new methods of extracting or using new forms of energy which the USA is not investing in at all, while China is.
KT ratio for the USA is easy when all your enemies are small nations and aren't that impressive, during the korean war the USA suffered a lot of hardships against the north korean's and chinese some of which had better tanks and more soldiers then the USA had, at one point they were driven back to a small piece of the country and only because of bold strategy of Douglas Mcarther were they able to hold and push back due to continued air strikes and support, those supply lines are easy to maintain when Japan is your ally next to it.
if the USA were to go into a ground war with China, Iran or Russia things will be a lot harder for them, if they did not have the allies with supplies to maintain their armies they would shatter over time, it's the US manpower, industrial power and ability to gain allies to maintain those that make them almost impossible to beat, they only realy lost vietnam because the goals of the war were silly and unfocused and the people at home got sick of the war, the whole vietcon strategy was based around terror and injury rather then killing and it worked.
I think americans are falling into the arrogance trap of having few enemies to match their power, so they assume China is the same, regardless even of China the rest of the world is changing and the world is moving towards a multipolar world and in the meantime the USA has taken all the steps to ensure and speed up this process, US politics are a joke, their society is polorized (as is the west in general) I don't believe they will maintain their sole super power status the way they continue right now, they are becoming the byzantine empire in a way.

@b4u334 that seems fair, well yeah if it's a 1 on 1 I don't think any one currently existing country could invade the USA, the USA has so many major benefits that most other nations fought world wars to even get close to and then failing because the USA beat them to it 200 years sooner, combined with the weak other countries in the region, I mean it's kinda amasing how south america is nothing compared to the USA and is just filled with cartels, socialism and instability.
and yes nothing unites quite like a common enemy which is why india, south korea and japan are such strong US allies because each of them knows they would be pretty much fucked without either eachothers help and/or the USA's support and this is also what helps the USA maintain their superpower status, before ww1 and ww2 the USA did not have nor desired to march all over the world to maintain a global super power, im just a bit frustrated that they claim they do it for the good of humanity or ''freedom'' while it's realy to maintain their global order and im not saying it's bad that they do when you look at the alternatives, it's just that they forget how they got there and that there are others who would wish to one day replace them in part or in full and that at some point the USA has to realise that and let go of some parts, I for one wish Europe would take a bigger part in world issues rather then sit on our asses getting wellfare programs and limiting our military.
as for China, they are realy trying to go back on their pre-communist era glory days, they are basically like national socialist germany, superiority complex, advanced technology, desire to rule and enslave others, the whole genocide thing, where as the USA seems more like the roman republic moving towards the empire or it might already be there and is now transitioning to a more byzantine empire style by abandoning their former places like the middle-east and perhaps Europe at some point.
I think the collapse of Russia will be the major turning point in world history as it does not seem likely to be maintained in it's current form and it can't realy intergrate into the west or asia sphere's so it will split, that's what I expect at least and at that point lots of other things will start to move on the world stage, could be wrong but that's how I see things moving forward.
I don't like Biden, I don't trust him, I also don't think he's good for the USA as a country, nor good for it's allies but if I see him or the people around him do a good job il complement him I just don't expect it, it looks like the end of the republic.

19:12 how was Nazi germany atheist? they just replaced Christianity with the swastika (which is a Hindu symbol which you surely know)
and communism is a lot like a religion, so many believe in it without evidence and they constantly make up nonsense to try and justify it, if that's not a religion then idk what is.
as for western Europe, it's not Atheist Regimes, it's western and americanized regimes, there is no state Atheist governments in western Europe, just the people having lost faith in god and religion, the USA largely still believes in Christianity but when you got all that room to expand, told your the greatest nation ever and don't have to directly deal with the horrors of war like most of Europe did, you tend to be more positive in your nations ability to project power.
ironically if western Europe became less like it is today, it would mean it would become competition for the USA and China and we can't have that now can we?

you honestly believe the CCP's numbers? I've done the math and the numbers in the USA are about the same as the ones in Europe and the amount of deaths are realy low worldwide, it only looks bad because most of the western world has aged so much so this is to be expected.
realy the disease is not much of a problem, the lockdowns are and in the meantime nobody seems to be taking the real issues to China, if the virus did not come from a lab it must have come from one of their wet markets and they don't seem to be in a rush to change their pathogen spread.
btw USA created a vaccine, as did Russia, China as far as im aware of did not, though im sure they will.
USA is a big country and it's only realy being brought up because orange man bad, quite literaly after months of saying Trump caused this, blablabla, they had a vaccine, it's quite clear this is mostly agenda driven and not actually a threat to the world.

@oremfrien ''Lack of confidence in institutions existed before Trump; lack of confidence in voting being free and fair did not exist before Trump. He is responsible for his voter base's distrust of voting. Their belief, notwithstanding how strongly they feel it, is not based on evidence. It's based on a lie that has been repeated.''
wrong, this subject has come on multiple times in almost every election since bush vs al gore at least, the reason in sprung up in 2020 was not simply due to Trump but the actual fact that some of the states changed voter laws in april of 2020 due to the corona virus, expanding mail in voting and lowering standards for admition, in 2020 there was a decline in declining votes counted due to mail in voting errors, how this happened is unknown but it is often mentioned as evidence of vote rigging though it's not that big of a deal, just an observation.
there is also the issue of counties having absurdly high votes for joe biden in democratically controle counties while the rest of the counties were mostly red, there has been very little update on this and no denial or rejection of the mail in votes coming in at 4 am as cited by most Trump supporters, either this did not happen and it's all nonsense or it was simply thrown under the rug and ignored by all mainstream media platforms which also happened to not mention the Hunter Biden laptop scandal which if people were informed would have changed their vote, think some figures are in the 1/8 voters in some states would have changed their vote, this paints the picture as we have seen for the last 4 years that the media is working with politicians and big tech to influence the election against Trump and in favor of Joe Biden which is why so many don't listen to the media to begin with.

@oremfrien ''Because the voter ID laws are enforced without providing a free ID for all legal voters, this is effectively a poll tax on the urban poor.''
I don't understand this issue quite well, perhaps you can clear it up for me. In the Netherlands we also have voter ID's which cost about 100-120 Euro's and need to be replaced once every 10 years I believe, these are needed for everyone to vote, though our election system works in a way that allows expired ID cards below 5 years expiration date to still be allowed, the issue of ''minorities or poor people not being able to afford this'' is unknown to me and never seen as a legitimate issue in the Netherlands, now perhaps the Netherlands has more equality in terms of income to render this a mute point, im not sure but if you can't afford an ID card how do you buy alcohol? how do you have a citizen's ID number? how do you get a drivers licence? how do police check who you are if they pull you over?
if you are so poor you can't buy an ID card once every 10 years (assuming it's the same time frame as ours) then how are you going to be able to vote properly if you have to live day by day? such a voting block would be easily bribed or manipulated, now if you favored a democratic government system then yes, this might be in your interest to allow but the USA is a republic, so is the very nature of it's government not to allow people who can afford the minimum costs needed to be a citizen to be allowed to vote not in the US constitutional interests? I know this might sound harsh but from an outsider perspective like mine this whole concept seems alien, esspecialy the narrative some people have of it being racist when it's at best against just the poor regardless of color.

@oremfrien ''other laws in the bundle Georgia passed show animus towards the voting rights of the urban poor, such as closing down voting stations in highly populous districts, causing crowding at the remaining voting stations, and criminalizing people from providing water to voters waiting in long lines to vote – lines effectively created by removing voting stations. It reads to me as being much more concerned with limiting voter access to the polls than trying to prevent voter fraud.''
how many voting stations do you have? I assume it differs per county or city district but here it's pretty much everywhere, schools, gyms, transportation zones like train stations, government buildings, if you go in at rush hour, you might have to wait in line for like 5-10 min but that's it, if it takes hours then something is very wrong in voting stations, either there is only 1 station for 2 million people or you have to drive 2 hours to get to one in the rural area's, again I have no frame of referrence for this, it seems bizzar, then again the USA is rather large, a solution to this would be to have more days to cast votes before the actual counting begins.

@ulyssesglemao6783 except Trump had the best economy right before the CCP virus, which btw he tried to prevent coming to the US but the democrats called his response to block people from entering who came from China "racist" then after it spread the media and elites started to blame him for everything (like they did for 4 years?) Biden meanwhile made all sorts of promises without giving a clear sign of what he plans to do, while hiding in his basement.
Btw unlike you I've actually done the numbers and the USA is about the same as Europe in terms of death per population, the only difference is the US population has a worse health then many European nations, plus healthcare is expensive so many people probably don't want to be treated at a hospital, but "Orange man bad"
Without the help of the CCP virus, big tech censorship, 4 years of legacy media propaganda and calls for violence and polorizing leftwing elites calling for violence along with the potential fraud commited via mail in voting, it would have been a land slide victory for Trump and Joe Biden barely won in 2020.
You have no idea what your talking about and know nothing of actual politics or how great Trump was, he was the best president ever which might explain why the elites wanted him gone, pro free speech, anti war, anti censorship, pro guns, you know? What a liberal used to be? But no "Orange man bad" said the media, he's an ism of all kinds because reasons, grow up.

@Sunbearvygv what the hell is the WBC?
what is polite day to day conversations? since the goal post of what consititues that changes every day because of authoritarian leftists, woke ideology and political correctness, literally anything can be deemed ''offensive'' and is therefor either forbidden or punished if you simply mention things that are true or real, a few days ago i heared about a woman that got banned from university because 12 years ago she sang a rap song that had the n-word in it, so what you say can also be used against you even if it was said in the past, it's too subjective and open for interpretation so im not sure what you mean by that, speaking out against censorship and sueing companies that do it, as well as anti trust lawsuits seem to be a method to adress it.
islam is alt right? have you ever met anyone who even still uses that label? they hate islam with a passion, at best all they share in common is they desire to have higher birthrates which islam does as well, other then that nothing realy in common, their views on woman, what they should do and their views on religion are far more secular, pagan or christianity focused, so I don't quite understand that connection there.
many of the so called ''far right'' ideologies are very compatable to western democracies in fact historically they were the ideologies in the past that people had that led to western society in the first place, it's a return to old ways of looking at society and value of society, in sort it's basic, actual conservatism, it's just labeled ''far right'' by those that wish to censor and discredit them, ironically this fuels actual far right and far left ideologies and they feed off eachother, it's much like weimar germany.
many people don't seem to be aware how much censorship there is or how corporations like Google and Facebook are used as proxies for political parties and rich elites to censor their competition to influence society, which is also why they fund you know who groups on the left we have seen in 2020 in 2016, you can't even mention them in any negative way or you will get censored online, same for video's, same on facebook, same on twiter, parler gets kicked off app store because they are competition for their influence and controle.
in a true free market they would face competition and would not be able to maintain their monopoly like they do now.
so to keep seeing channels i watch get banned, video's taken down, comments removed, political parties demonized, politicians call for violence and special rules for one class of people and different rules for others then to hear censorship is not a big deal or your not actually being repressed, is quite offensive and insulting, which is why society is so polorized today.

@Sunbearvygv the fact that google and facebook are going after their competition shows they fear them, will take a lot of time before they catch up but in the meantime the government and media are going to side with them over their competion, that's why NYT and such write hit pieces on their competition to justify blocking them from the app stores to limit their reach to customer base.
the WBC is nothing, they barely exist and are more a usefull tool for media, government and corporation to try and argue against free speech, you can find the same types of people in the black isrealites but you won't realy hear the media mention them because that would mean ''african americans can into hatred, anti gay, racism and anti semitism.
ironically islamic countries and the former USSR were the ones pushing for so called ''hate speech laws'' because they don't want their bad ideas to be attacked, that's where it always, always, always comes down to.
Slavoj Zizek is not that impressive in my opinion, I will admit his anti post modernist and anti political correctness stance is good but he only really scratches the surface rather then look at the big piture though it's been some time since i last seen his work so he might have moved past that at this point, esspecialy after what happened in 2016 and 2020.
there realy is no good, rational and objective argument against free speech, it always comes down to emotions, hurting people's feelings and just wanting to shut down views one group does not like, mostly authoritarians, communists, islamists, fascists and globalists argue in favor of censorship and political correctness, the only real solution is to fight back against this type of tyrany which always ever few decades start to pop up, often in different forms and from different groups, i remember the early 2000s the left were the ones being censored by the rightwing christian groups, you had patriot act and war in iraq and stuff and now the left are the ones calling for more wars, more censorship and demanding people be treated unfairly because meh feelings, in 20 years it will likely be the rightwing that repeats this same cycle because people don't seem to get it or keep making the same mistakes once they win.

@Sunbearvygv I think it's pretty clear they want to move to a Chinese model of state controle they just want the corporations to regulate it but in essence it will be the same and perhaps even worse since they will regulate it based on woke ideology and other social justice nonsense (which is also marxist realy)
I don't get why you would say that rightwing libertarians are close to marxism, they are polar opposites in everything, from how economics works, to how government should work, to how workers are oppressed to how the solution to that problem could work.
First time btw I've ever even hear anyone mention the WBC in anything realy, again they are nothing, it's the same with the KKK, in fact they are mostly cited by leftwing groups as if they are a big problem and trying to condem others simply by association even if they don't exist in any big way at all, it's just bizzar how the media creates narratives, while ignoring real issues and enforcing harsh attacks on people for minor things or how they defend leftist (sometimes terrorists) for their crimes, it realy creates a us vs them mentality, if your not hated by the media or big tech then you aren't realy fighting against tyrany or authoritarianism.
