This is basically the democratic party right now:

I want to float this out there and see if I can crowdsource books or discussions on a subtopic; the interpretation that the radical leftism that has taken hold of political discourse is the spiritual or cultural successor to the hard-right religious fundamentalism of the 2000s. It’s the same pendulum swung to the other side of the political spectrum, employing the same underlying methodologies, with the same protections & immunities, tactics, social leveraging, etc.
For example:
There are probably tens more but you get the idea. I’m interested in a direct lineage traced from the New Atheism through things like ElevatorGate, Atheism+, GamerGate, up until today’s SJWing with BLM. These people have grown into what many likely rebelled against in their youth and they are too stupid to recognize the same exact structure rebuilt from the rubble of the fundamentalist conservatives’ dismantling.
- sanctioned violence in the name of a spiritual cause/spiritual warfare
- Invocation of original sin doctrines to promote guilt and conversion
- Protection and immunity from criticism or critique
- Appeals based on exploited emotions
- Interpretation of national history in terms of the religion
- Defining Overton windows
- Irrational hostility towards those defined as outsiders
- “no true Scotsman” disenfranchisement of in-group members who show diversity of opinion or interpretation
- Abject dismissal of facts
Any resources would be appreciated.
True, but I do draw a distinction between running away and simply 'regrouping' as it were. The trend of white flight is an inherently destructive one that needs to be reversed; but we are effectively a diaspora right now in regards to our politics if not our race. I feel that we do need to form our own smaller communities and that a withdrawal will happen regardless of what we'd want to do. I'm not advocating running and form a branch davidion style commune; but using the internet (and older methods, like pubs/bars/clubs) to meet up and network and find allies.your overall post is correct, but this part is wrong. you can't seriously expect to succed with some kind of low level separatism against the massive power of a centralized state apparatus like it exists in pretty much all western countries.
this approach is viable in countries where the central government is weak and does not have full authority over its territory, that's how things like the kurdish autonomous regions in syria can exist for example. but in a western country the agents of the state have a very easy time snuffing out any such attempt long before it grows powerful enough to even be noticed by the wider public.
you simply can't run or get away from the state. if the state becomes hostile to the people, as it has in this case, then the only option is to fight and weaken it. and you can't do that by attempting to continuously give up and run away and flee from it, you can only do that by carrying out acts of sabotage and assassination against key targets without getting caught.
Being Republican is the equivalent of being Black in the 20th century. God damn.Most of the Democrat votes are in cities, the kind of cities with a lot of immigrants both legal and illegal and where you'd get your head kicked in if you said you were a Republican.
vanguard party-ism works when the country and state are all but destroyed, that's when such an organisation can actually seize power. it happened that way in 1917/1918 russia after the tsarist regime had suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of the german army, the economy was in shambles, and the country was facing dire shortages of food and other goods. it also happened in china after the japanese had ravaged large parts of the country and inflicted extreme attrition on the nationalists.True, but I do draw a distinction between running away and simply 'regrouping' as it were.

I'm an old school BNP sort of nationalist; but I don't believe that my ideas in full will ever become the most mainstream in my lifetime. But I do believe in the power of vanguardist movements. The public at large is not (in my view) political in that they will want to talk shop all or even most of the time; but they do have an underlying belief and a strong one at that that will limit the extent to which they will vote for a certain person. Pushing forward the things that would save our civilization will not work unless the 'overton window' is moved sufficiently to a point where those ideas are acceptable; vanguard parties and movements and speakers are the teeth in the jaws that will ratchet the unwieldy nature of the social contract in a way that works for us. It's what the Marxists, and Anarchists, and feminists and what not used and what worked for most things throughout history. Yes sometimes violence would be part of that (*GLOW INTENSIFIES!*) But violence is simply an extension of politics by other means; the IRA was not solely composed of militia, it was mostly composed of people who had been 'soft' radicalised into supporting them by inaction (not reporting them, helping hide them, not noticing things, etc). A
But for vanguardism to work it has to be nurtured; and for that you need a community, and allies, and reaffirmation that what you believe is not in fact crackpot like the left will try and push; but rather the truth of things. Hopefully it will work. If not then we will be consigned to the dustbin of history. Our politics has to be 'metapolitics' rather than direct party/platform/people politics.
I've said it previously in this thread - I'm not a lawyer, and I'm definitely no brighter than any of the other people here, but I could absolutely defend Chauvin, based on the toxicology and autopsy findings. In fact, I'd put up $10 of my very limited stimulus money that says most people here could do it.
I think it is more Mao's Cultural Revolution. Supposedly that had young people mob up against "pillars of society" to force political change.
Yep, and "racist" is to whites as "nigger" is to blacks. The word has lost all meaning and is now bandied about like a racial epithet.Being Republican is the equivalent of being Black in the 20th century. God damn.
He should absolutely have a good defence, although I dont hold out much hope of a fair trial. Having looked at the bits of the autopsy reports that were released and the video, I would say that chauavin’s actions did contribute to the death. The first autopsy was accurate looking to me - he died of a combination of things, the drugs were a big contributory factor as was the stress position he was in. Whether he’d have died that evening or not, what would be on trial is whether the actions in that moment contributed to the death in that moment and I think it’s reasonable to say they did. The combo of drugs and disease and stress position is what did it (imo.) so that neither absolves the officer nor makes him guilty of murder with intent.

just like you can't form some kind of anti communist party in china today, you can't form an anti globalist party in the west today, because the state apparatus is explicitly designed to prevent that from happening
you know what bugs me about these people?
thought crimes are permanent, context doesn't matter, and even if it's a joke or you you've changed.. you will forever be shunned for what you did.
but physical crimes? just say sorry and never do it again, and it's okay
raped a bunch of people? just give everyone puppy eyes, so "my bad".. and it's fine
told a bad joke 15 years ago? REEEEE CANCEL CANCEL OUTCAST OUTCAST!!!
The American equivalent is "manslaughter". Also in most jurisdictions there's an "eggshell skull" interpretation. As in, if you were unaware of conditions that would make your actions deadly when they otherwise wouldn't be, you're still liable as long as you show a "reckless disregard for life"He should absolutely have a good defence, although I dont hold out much hope of a fair trial.

manslaughter or what the American equivalent is?
What that means in terms of what he’s guilty of I don’t know. I doubt he will get a fair trial anyway.
I was saying something similar the other day to a friend when we were talking about a news story in shops switching to cashless in the wake of corona. Banks dropping accounts, payment platforms banning people, purely electronic banking, it’s very easy to put mechanisms in place that make it impossible to function in the modern world unless you play along with the System. It’s a creeping control.
it's a terrible idea to presume that he will have anything close to a fair trial.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
If it's not possible for him to get a fair trial then maybe he shouldn't be tried at all.Even with a change of venue, it's basically impossible.
Soon it'll just become just like Japan, the lower you bow, the more "sorry" you are and people will just magically forgive you of your sins.

Sometimes I wonder if the Lincoln Project is actually an op to make never-Trump GOPers look cringe and unappealing rather than a legitimate anti-Trump group.They made the same mistake they made with their last ad: poor voice acting. It sounds like an amateur parody of a real political smear ad. Every small town politician can nail the ominous smear voice for their ads, but that basic level of competency escapes the feebs at the Lincoln Project. Even the editing is off. It looks like a fun parody of smear ads, it does not convey the message nor tone they intend.
That isn't considered flipped red?
Cities. Look at the 2016 election map by county. There's not one blue zone that's not a city.
Because having toilet paper stuck to your foot is the most damning and incriminating of all political ineptitude.
