It's odd that some people can hold two diametrically opposite ideas in their head yet somehow manage to find the ability to find validity in both of them. I know it's impossible for those of the ideological & tribal bent to ever understand these things, or to ever move beyond a "what's good for the party/agenda absolutely also must be good for me" mindset. Or to simply acknowledge that sometimes a massively negative experience with tribalism, like seeing a favoured and beloved forum site becoming a hellhole of political correctness & entirely empty virtue signaling, is quite heartbreaking to encounter. And that it can result in a reaction that isn't very friendly or polite simply because there's no reason to be friendly or polite anymore.

It's a complex world. And it must be very frustrating for the agenda-pusher when they encounter those who don't fit into any of the boxes on the hivemind checklist.

I have mostly avoided this thread because the whole "woke" thing really annoys me (which I expressed way back). However, I get what you are expressing here. Not bleating to the same beat along with the herd is a big no-no as I know all too well. I have never been one to "fit in" or be a part of a clique as I just haven't always seen things from the same perspective as others and not simply going along with others can make you an outcast, although I must admit at times feeling a bit of a thrill when I have stood my own ground rather than give in.

It is a complex world that seems to get more confusing every damn day. The doom asteroid can't come soon enough IMO some days.

It's less that it's becoming more complex as opposed to it descending to a depth of dangerous simplification. No nuance or thinking outside the tribal box is wanted anymore. In fact thinking outside the box makes one as much of an enemy as the true genuine enemies out there are.

I'll point out once more what Ronald Reagan said a long time ago about the moderate and centrist Democrats who were still seen as a scourge, just for being Democrats, to the true no-compromise fanatics among the Republicans that he had unfortunately brought into his big tent. Reagan said that a representative or senator that voted 80% of the time in favour of the policies he wanted and against him only 20% wasn't an enemy, they were a mostly dependable ally and a friend who deserved to be treated as allies and friends. The psycho GOP couldn't process this thought because, due to their insatiable puritanical mania, just from a person being a Democrat alone they were to be seen as a 100% enemy worthy only of destruction.

That sort of nuance Reagan had is entirely extinct now. Not just in politics either but in almost all social & cultural context. And not just on the psycho right but it's now the predominant characteristic of the extremist left who are being as successful at pushing actual liberals out of their tribe as the radical no-compromise rightists have been as purging moderate conservatives out of their coalitions. The same thing has been happening here at CKA for the better part of at least the last two years now as well. Don't support the new agenda 100% without any dissent? Well, enjoy your demonization, your cancellation, and all the mockery we are going to aim at you.

What happened on social media came to CKA with a vengeance and has effectively taken this place over. That it happened with such little resistance to it from the membership here is as stunning as it is appalling. "Tolerant & kind liberals", my ass. :roll:

To highlight what was said. The GOP are not representatives, they are RULERS. They use devise political issues such as the WOKE messaging to divide the population against itself so they can remain on top.

This isn't a left/right thing this is exclusively on the 'right' that isn't on the right anymore they have become fascists only interested in power for powers sake with no scruples or principals. They will attack their own base in a heartbeat if they can gain more power. Whataboutism isn't going to change this.

For every "fascist" there appears to be at least one revolutionary who is more than willing to run as many other people as required through a meat grinder, both figuratively and literally, in order to ensure the cause succeeds.

Fascist/mobster it's the same succubus. These grifters may be propped up and amplified by foreign interests trying to sow dissent but they are very much a domestic issue. In other words, every village has an idiot but we don't need to platform them.

He also is from Macon, current population of 150000. That's more than the town I grew up in, and I'd never say it's a small town.

He currently lives in Nashville, definitely a small town. He also attended a private christian school as a kid, definitely representative of rural schooling right?
