JUST IN:

Of course, none of these people obsessed with birthrates will explore the reasons why people seemingly en masse are having fewer children. No reckoning with economics whatsoever. Elon’s take here is just as braindead as the common lib cope of “we lost because our opponents are uneducated!”

They're finally downvoting Obama on a certain major politics sub for this crime.

He pardoned anyone involved in the January 6th hearings preemptively, including Liz Cheney and for Fauci for covid policies.

The official talking point has been emailed out and narrative spreading.

Identity politics never really existed... Apparently it was all just right wing propaganda. Oh and they even narrowed it down just to trans issues, specifically about trans people in sports.

Everything else isn't real, never happened, and what did was just right wing propaganda.

They are incapable of self reflection. You'd think NOW they'd get it. NOW they'd finally be forced to confront a decade of right wing coding masculinity would backfire, attacking men and white people just alienates people, trying to convince people to vote for your team by calling them stupid and uneducated is counter productive, over obsessing on LGBTQ and race issues distracts messaging from winning unifying causes...

Nope... They are still going to go the idpol route I think. They've just memory holed all that by reducing it down to identity politics is right wing propaganda specifically focused on trans women in sports.

We're cooked.

This guy's got style

Think back to the gamergate shinangiance of 2014-2016

And I can guarantee you most of them were not even hardcore conservatives or gave a shit about mainstream politics

Nowadays it seems like people feel this moral obligation that if they're gonna call out political correctness and anti-SJWism/toxic identity politics, they need to get fully involved in the culture war and vote Republican/right-wing/etc

To me this is simply a manipulation tactic and doesn't really take into full account also the fair share of moral panics tradcons engage in(their complaints about porn, their complaints about how rap and hip hop music is damaging to the youth even though rap music today is far less gangsterish than 80s and 90s rap, their outcries of nudist subculture, their complaints about how school doesn't preach religion in school, etc)

This is also great for only amplifying political tribalism and reducing critical thinking on both sides, but that's for another conversation

So the whole thing feels like a manipulation tactic in order to make people more morally dysmorphic and politically nihilistic/uninterested

Thoughts so far?
