So we get it. You're not just a socialist, and not just a racist, you are a NAZI.FOS » 30 Jul 2022, 7:16 pm » wrote: ↑ Earlier I was talking to some southern boomer...who clearly was some sort of conservative.

I have heard this from conservative radio talking heads before. It is clearly some sort of conservative shibboleth. The democrats are bad cause they wanna tell people what to do etc.
and I responded that you kinda have to mind other people's business because humans naturally form into tribes and it is the entire tribe that wins or loses. I suppose I could have simply mentioned that you have to do something about a murderer or something...but I was curious how he would respond to my comment about tribes.
and predictably...he insisted that he is not a member of any group. This is another radio conservative talking point I have heard. It is the 'demonrats' who divide everyone by race but the ideologically pure Republicans are all mere individuals.
I asked him if he considered himself a member of the United States 'group'...and he admitted he was. And I pointed out that if the usa was conquered by Mexico, it would have some impact on his life.
At this point he got rather emotional and accused me of being a contrarian and he insisted we change the subject. He didn't have any sort of response to these glaringly obvious facts...but he clearly was unable to change his mind and it just upset him that I was pointing out obvious things. Basically, his brain was clearly hacked by the repetition of conservative pundit narratives.
and I cannot help but have a conspiratorial attitude to this...because it seems very clear that the mainstream conservative talking points seem almost deliberately designed to preclude conservatives from acquiring any sort of power. You cannot tell anyone else what to do, therefore you can't have power. You cannot act with any collective effort, therefore you can't have power. Jesus loves everyone and would never cast the first stone, therefore you can't have power. You must treat everyone fairly even of they do not reciprocate, therefore you can't have power.
There are too many examples of this and it is too obvious so I cannot imagine that the people pushing such narratives do so in good faith. 4he purpose must be to ensure that conservatives always lose. Because if there was a 'right wing' movement that was actually willing and able to acquire power...we know what would happen next. Hitler.
You swear off all the people who aren't white, and certainly the Jewish tribes, and of course you believe in socialism, but not just any socialism,
only a socialism that is of this purest form, which you surmise is the NAZI form.
You dislike crazed nutjob politico's such as Marjorie Taylor Green or Louie Gomert, they are just crazies as far as you are concerned.
You dislike conservative propaganda, such as the now deceased Rush Limbaugh or the fancy Fox sweetie Tucker Carlson because you think they are dumbassholes.
You say, well perhaps the idea of manmade climate change holds some merit, and you are even somewhat interested in true scientific method, but first, and this is absolutely a mandate, you have to be a NAZI first and foremost.
And so, If I get this right, you are a critical thinker, even a believer in science, and true history - as far as you see it, but everything else as far as you are concerned starts with
being a NAZI.
Would that be correct?
