Code:
normal political spectrum:
[left]----------[moderate ]----------[right]
"woke" political spectrum:
[woke]----------[alt-right]----------[alt-right]
This is a bit off topic, but an alt-righter by the name of Frame Games actually pointed out this is an intentional strategy. I believe he's been purged or went into DFE for various reasons, and I don't agree with most of what he said back in the day, but this did make some sense.
See, there's many levels of identity politics. There's Identitarian -- "I am proud to be Black." There's Nationalist. "I believe Ireland's laws and culture should serve the Irish." And there's Supremacist. "I believe the German people are better than all others."
There's a spectrum, in other words. And it goes something like this in the West's current climate, thanks to Woke racists on one side and the 1488 clique on the other:
Code:
black supremacist - black nationalist - black identitarian - liberal - centerist - conservative - white identitarian - white nationalist - white supremacist
The thing is, in a standard situation the centerists would be in the center, and the nutbars would be on the fringes of each. So you'd have something like:
Code:
black supremacist - black nationalist - [black identitarian - liberal - *centerist* - conservative - white identitarian] - white nationalist - white supremacist
With liberal / centerist / conservative being generally acceptable viewpoints in the overton window, and black / white identitarians being fringe views.
But, what the radical left does is intentionally pretend that there's no difference between the "I am proud to be Irish" types and the "White people are better than everyone else" types. Since white supremacists will, barring some major shift in the cultural zeitgeist, always be outside the overton window, this causes an interesting shift:
Code:
black supremacist - [black nationalist - black identitarian - *liberal* - centerist - conservative] - white supremacist
Everything shifts to the left, because white supremacist is an anchor point. Liberal becomes the default position, Centerist becomes "right wing," and Conservative becomes a fringe righty stance, and nutbars like Gazi Kodzo and the more extreme BLM types become merely fringe letists instead of, well, being literally Black Hitler.
This is why you see the dangerhairs sometimes literally try to use being conservative as a slur -- because to them, with this intentionally engineered overton window, being right leaning is now a fringe righty stance. The only acceptable "right leaning" position is merely being neutral on liberal causes, not actively against them.
The alpha SJWs set the marching orders, and understand what all this means. They know what they're doing by intentionally messing with the overton window like this. But the average idiot? The Ron Soyes and the Chaircucks of the world? They just know that playing along gets them asspats and tendies. So they keep pushing and pushing, and the whole thing starts to break down.
Because as I've mentioned before, there's only so many times you can see them literally call Bernie Sanders "alt-right" before even the most oblivious normie rolls their eyes and stops believing them.
Edit: For those who prefer a political compass:
I don't know how long I've been blocked but, HanLeia has blocked me even though I've never commented in a thread they were involved in.
