When the old guard right wing didn't carry out it's duties and became a stop gap instead of stopping the malicious acts of the left and other groups. When they gave up power to try to be "bigger men" and when they stopped gate keeping in fear of being "bigoted." It started probably since the 1960's/1970's, and has led to what the right is today. No future, and no hope, and only the old guard that is controlled opposition by all means has any qualms with the new right using the tactics of their enemy to destroy them.But the only question is when did the American right start to head in this direction because things like this don't happened out of nowhere were they always like this or did something happen a long time ago to make them going this direction my question is when did this all start?
I could not have said it better myself. Most people complaining about the "modern right" sound like Washington right wingers and by that I mean they have no clue about what they are accepting in US culture or how they have destroyed it by accepting what society has become. Let alone the danger they've unleashed to themselves, normal civilians, and even their children. It's baffling to say the least.OP, can you explain to me why I shouldn't be near-exclusively contrarian, when, despite what I was taught as a child, the world very much is out to get me, and has done for a minimum of twelve years? I unironically oppose the current thing, because the current thing offers me absolutely fucking nothing, universally.
Why should I ever drop my guard or not make an absolute mockery out of just about every institution in this country, when it is all so rotten? What stance could I possibly take anymore? What goal could there possibly be to shoot for that would bring this country back from its death? America isn't dying, it's been dead for a long time. Clown World is here to stay, and there's nothing that can be done to fix it.
I keep seeing many of you throw around terms like "rational" and "sensible", to describe what we "need to get back to". That certainly begs the question, how young/forgetful are you people? Not in my entire lifespan have I seen anything like that out of politics, and most certainly not from the common voter. Most of you have parents that weren't even born when the last sensible politicians were in office.
The New Right, as you call it, is a failure that accepts itself. It started out knowing that the Right has failed, and wants very little to do with reformation or restructuring of the Repulican Party, because that's a fucking fool's errand. The only thing left to do is collapse, and I'd rather it not take another decade to happen. There's nothing to do in politics until then. Go buy some 5 gallon drums of pasta, make people upset, and hide out for a while, laughing in horror as the shit burns. It's all that can be done.
This is true, I think free speech should be allowed a decent lee-way just not unlimited, and even then authoritarians whether people like it or not are right, if someone doesn't gate keep and assert the rules on what is allowed, then someone else will over time and undermine that rule of law/equal stance."Muh free speech" is a garbage ideal that should be abandoned. You're just giving the left something to hide behind. "Free speech" is a luxury you can only afford if your society is already stable and well-ordered, which ours is not, and maybe it wouldn't be worth it even then. In a political atmosphere of aggression, trying to be a "free speech absolutist" ultimately just means carrying water for your enemy.
The ideal is to settle on fundamental values, use those to draw the boundaries, then have "free speech" within those bounds. We used to have this to some degree in the US, and we still functionally have it on topics that our overlords have deemed verboten (the Holocaust, for example). "Free speech absolutism" obviously undermines this and is a recipe for subversion. Humans need social standards and will develop them, one way or another, including standards regarding the bounds of acceptable speech. Saying "well it's all free speech anything goes" does indeed simply leave the door open for bad actors to set the standards for you, as we can see with all the woke bullshit.This is true, I think free speech should be allowed a decent lee-way just not unlimited, and even then authoritarians whether people like it or not are right, if someone doesn't gate keep and assert the rules on what is allowed, then someone else will over time and undermine that rule of law/equal stance.
Great response I think the right should bring back gatekeeping because there's is a lot of people that need to be gatekeepe from the movement like those quartering types of conservatives for exampleWhen the old guard right wing didn't carry out it's duties and became a stop gap instead of stopping the malicious acts of the left and other groups.

it is very hard to deny that Trump has achieved nothing. Leaving or reducing US role in NATO didn't go anywhere. Trade war with China changed nothing other than antagonize the countries. The Wall (TM) amounted to nothing.
This post pretty much proves OPs point my dude - you absolutely come off as a mindless contrarian. You're okay with the DOJ spying on journalists as long as they're not journalists on "your side." You don't want to fix the problem - you just want to see the roles reversed."Muh free speech" is a garbage ideal that should be abandoned. You're just giving the left something to hide behind.

The internet is no longer free speech however. Weeding out retarded ideas=/= big tech giants removing all ideas they disagree with. Most normies agree with censoring those they disagree with via the claims of hate speech, or harmful disinformation. In fact, by the same logic a large majority of the youth are now becoming anti-free speech, was free speech weeded out as a "retarded idea" then by that logic? It's because nobody enforced an even ground that those who conspired to destroy that even ground succeeded. Even in a "wild" setting there is always a ruler and leader position despite what people want to believe, and those people set the rules for how interactions happen, and now the left has major control of that and the left has won the culture war which is evident with what's happening in society. Should people openly express their desires to molest children and encourage other groomers to usurp the rule of law, or should something overlook and stop those who would commit such nefarious actions?This post pretty much proves OPs point my dude - you absolutely come off as a mindless contrarian.

The Internet is centralized in America because of the 1st amendment - there is soft power in allowing people to speak their minds and competition weeds out retarded ideas. If your first instinct is to silence your opposition, maybe you need to do some self-reflection on how robust your own ideals are.
Imagine coming to kiwifarms and saying you don't want freedom of speech. You are hilariously out of good company here."Muh free speech" is a garbage ideal that should be abandoned.
