I have been meaning to mention this. Has anyone noticed that many of those who are Trump sympathisers generally talk culture wars more, but less on class issues? My colleague said he agrees with what most of Trump says, but disagrees with the extreme measures. He is opinionated on gender debate, but hardly heard him talk about the tariffs (except when the stocks tanked back in April) or the welfare cuts and transfer of wealth to the elites with the big beautiful bill.
It is the same with my ex housemate. My former housemate supports Trump because of his non-interventionist foreign policy and tougher stance on immigration. Although tbf, he had been basing his support on Trump's previous term's fascist-lite policies, and probably didn't foresee the current POTUS going full Nazi. But even then, my ex-housemate hardly talks about economic issues.
Both traditional and new media intentionally polarises and divides people, with algorithms funneling only certain information to the electorates, while hiding other pertinent info. There is overemphasis on culture wars but minimises class issues, which is the root cause of social and economic decline.
Yeah, and the most wonderful thing here is that these people can agree that billionaires are sucking the juice of the society, the survival based on labor is archaic, and we're all being manipulated to become poor.
But somewhere in the middle, a logical excess is happening: the billionaires are not the only problem, it's the elite in general terms (intellectual included). Their main method is not only the market manipulation, but mainly a manipulation over CULTURE. And we need to somehow resist the later.
A lot of things get clear after you join Clubhouse - social network outrun by right and far right.
To anyone who saw the post I am replying to, tread with caution. There's a reason that peer pressure is dangerous and it has nothing to do with the supposed "War on Drugs". The real villain of those old PSAs should have been fascism, not a random dealer, if there was any true benevolence behind it. If you must frame it in Conservative worldview, read "Fahrenheit 451" and remember Bibles burn just as easily as biology textbooks.
"When they came for the drug addicts, I said nothing. Until they said Jesus was a hippie and took my whole church." Fascism is never good, for anyone. Even the perpetrators. Or do you honestly think no other Nazis wanted to bump off Hitler for personal gain? Fascism is, at it's core, a cancer. It kills societies as much as people, no one is truly safe.
We didn't quite forget yet, but if we are too distracted in 2105 to remember 2025's echoed warnings from WWII and the Holocaust (1945), humanity will not survive to see 2185.
tl;dr: Warning: May contain nuts or cults.
I've never sympathized with fascism, only with the selling points that are almost the same with the lefts.
