RWDT XX: The System Is Kapp Putsch

[Diopolis]

Publishing an op-ed by a sitting senator calling for what the majority of Americans at the time wanted is not "a truly colossal fuckup".

publishing an op-ed calling for the state to murder peaceful demonstrators in the streets is indeed a colossal fuckup, and I've yet to see literally any evidence indicating that it's anything close to what the majority of Americans believe or want, then or now

The op-ed in question called for Trump to invoke the insurrection act to use the military as law enforcement against violent demonstrators(and at the time the protests were significantly more violent than they are now).
Not "the state should murder peaceful protestors in the streets".

and regardless it is not a """takeover""" of the entire paper lol

This is the only true statement in your post.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/52-amer ... d=71097167 Here's a source that invoking the insurrection act against violent protestors is polling above 50%.

it's a very different power from the sinister cabal Questers seems to think is launching an Illuminati-level takeover of the entire Western world

nobody implied it was a conspiracy or a tiny group

Democratic socialists just add "capitalism bad". The time of leftist thinkers and revolutionaries over. Make way for kids who decry electoralism but really know that's their only choice.

A lot of SJW's seem really onboard with the capitalist parts of the techno-dystopia.

SJWs can roll their eyes at cynical attempts by companies to appeal to progs and vigorously applaud corporate-enforced diversity while consooming next product.

Capitalism has become so ingrained into our society, that overthrowing it has become mere chatter and occasional outdoor larp.

Eww, no. I'll stick with whiskey and herbalism then.

Not even close. I'm sure if you asked any one of them, they would say the U.S. is an empire founded on slavery. That's what many in the BLM movement say here. You are having a problem with anti-western actors in your country, and you are claiming they are U.S. puppets. They're not, don't let your anti-Americanism cloud your judgement.

Many probably also oppose U.S. "imperialism" as well. BLM is hardly red, white, and blue.

Sure, you might think you are a US loyalist, but they just see you as a white loyalist.

The US is the headquarters of the Universal Moral Authority. BLM is one of its Vanguardist institutions. The Universal Moral Authority commands the loyalty of people inside the United States, people inside Britain, France, Sweden, India, Hong Kong, Australia, Korea, even China and Russia to an extent.

The fifth column in these countries wants US annexation only if the US is ruled by the Universal Moral Authority, because they want to be ruled by the Universal Moral Authority and the Universal Moral Authority is headquartered in the United States. That's why they are so adamant and so interested in change in the US because they want the Universal Moral Authority to launch a (victorious) coup d'etat in the United States so it can proceed to annex everyone else.

This is your problem. You have to sort it out. I'm not anti-American, I'm anti- the Universal Moral Authority. Unfortunately it has infected a lot of normal Americans.

Oh, I see. Anyway, I think we here in America need to get some anti-globalists and anti-war politicians elected. While I'm not an isolationist, we are too interventionist.

I haven't noticed much eyerolling except in proportion to general tone-deafness of the cynical attempts. They seemed pretty into the nike ads with that subpar football player, or the Gillette campaign.

this is a clear manifestation of Hegel's master-slave dialectic in the material world. the slave (the bugman, the average Joe) realizes that the master (the congressman, the wall street exec, the airheaded celeb) is dependent on them for their labor, which is really the only thing they have because it is self-actualizing. having come to full consciousness, the slave demands an existence equal to that of the master, through anti-capitalist, quasi-leftist rhetoric. yet, the fatal flaw in this rhetoric is that instead of turning away from the master and towards the object, the slave turns away from the object and to the master in its stead. the average radlib doesn't even want to see the demise of capitalism, they want more minority CEOs, free healthcare and mandatory micro-aggression classes for all.

thank you rwdt for putting the Dialectics in Motion

The nike ad appealed to Black liberals, the Gilette ad appealed to feminist liberals. Neither of which are inherently anti-capitalist. The former I don't view as SJWs, but since the latter are, I guess it's fair to say SJWs and demsocs aren't quite the same, even if they inhabit the same political area.

I was listening to NPR today and they did exactly this. Literally "use banks owned by black people to solve racism." It's idiotic.

Where do you have evidence he advocated using force against peaceful protestors? There are plenty of violent rioters out there, so it is perfectly reasonable and legal to use force against them. And some of them might end up getting killed, but if they provoked violent confrontation in the first place, why should I feel sorry for them?

I was bitten by a boomer dad. It's not my fault- by the time I realized it I was already reading Tom Clancy novels without being stuck in an airport and wearing crocs.

if the american left/progressive liberal wing had half the coordination or degree of influence questers and other ppl here seem to think I'm pretty sure it would be a lot more noticeable lol

This was one of my issues with the basic argument that was made. It's a paradigm more so than anything else - a paradigm whose loose adherents wield a substantial degree of institutional power but nothing akin to an organization.

They nearly toppled the policing structures of the US and just had an internal takeover the NYT. My boy, that is power.

Does everyone forget that the "Democracy dies in Darkness" Washington Post is owned by a deranged robber baron...
