He would have hated ancient Rome.

If Italy's for Italians then what is a South African like him doing there?

 

[peetoo]

Also Italy is a federation of many cultures. Some are very suspicious of eac other

Speaking of things Italian, the US now does not have the problem of govt v mafia. Its the same thing now

I don't know why people seem so convinced that he isn't a 'nazi'.
I mean, the colloquial definition of a nazi, not the literal term. Although his support of the spiritual successor in Germany might start to blur even that distinction.

He grew up with an extreme benefit of apartheid and has never really acknowledged or spoke out about it. He's very recently supported ideas in the past such as race realism, and the replacement theory. He is this very day conflating culture with race while he pushes to defend that conflated culture. These are some pretty typical Nazi views. He has turned Twitter into a cesspool for the far right, and apparently did so deliberately.

Sure, he wants cheap immigrants for his companies which doesn't quite gel, but that's clearly self interest.

If he salutes like a nazi, and talks like a nazi, then why are people so hesitant to aknowledge him as such? How much benefit of a doubt is reasonable to give? Is the prospect that the richest man on earth being an actual nazi just too chilling to face?

Weirdly, the richest man on the planet is held to a lesser standard than the average punter.

Not that weird. Arguably the (or at least one of the) most politically powerful person (people) on the planet - Trump - is held to a lesser standard too.

That’s also weird though. You wouldn’t trust the bloke in a room alone with your wife, daughter or sister yet running the most powerful country on the planet is all good.

It’s getting too hard to work what’s weird anymore, and what’s just the new normal. I feel like I’m down the rabbit hole much of the time.

I’d be banned in BF if I posted trump stuff as if it was me

If you ask people like Joe Rogan, Musk, Jordan Peterson and Asmongold they'll all have told you that they're critical thinking centrists.

The problem is there too dumb to realise they need to fall on one position, if they're going to be strongly opinionated.

evolved2 is stuck in a self defeating loop and paradox when he believes these right-wing shills who often claim "centrism" as a rhetorical shield, framing themselves as free-thinking moderates above the partisan fray.

But their actual stances on anti-woke rhetoric, skepticism of progressive policies, and alignment with conservative talking points reveal a clear and extreme rightward stance.

It's an own goal to use the wrong form of 'there' while calling others dumb.

Opposing woke rhetoric and some progressive ideals doesn't make one an extremist - most people actually do.

You've lost touch with the average person and the political parties you support will continue to struggle at the polls because of it. Look at some of the demographics who voted Trump in - they're not all white heterosexual men.

There is a collection of posters that I have in a 'category' alongside you.
People who I think are genuine in their positions but actively avoid having them challenged.
evolved2, faible, the_interloper, Taylor, Seeds, Werewolf are the one's I've most frequently engaged with.

To me, this group respond to having a position challenged as an attack, rather than an opportunity to explore or reevaluate that position.
I've often unfairly attributed malice to ignorance, due to the respect I've had for this group of posters.

Which regular SRP posters respond to a challenge as an opportunity to explore or reevaluate their position?

There is a handful of people from this site, that I'd actually consider my friend. And a smaller handful of them, I've had the most contentious positions with.
Where I've had moments of pure frustration and opposition, to the point of momentarily hating them and impulsively wishing I could inflict violence (as a initial reaction that immediately passed).

Two examples are Total Power and a poster who I still haven't recovered from losing, Brunswick Trap King.
The reason I care for these people is because they have always reached their positions through their own logic, experience and genuine desire for truth.
Regardless of our sometimes visceral disagreements with each other, I trust them and would go to them if I felt like I desperately needed help.

TP is a great bloke and I liked BTK for the most part. Good choices.

I bring this all up, because ElectricG is one of these posters.
And the reason is that you acknowledge who they are, their 'left/right' position, and dismiss it because it doesn't align with your 'centrist' view.

It's an opposing view, that's all.

And it breaks me a little more inside, because I have no idea "talk to" you or people like you without pushing you deeper into your current positions.

What I meant in my earlier post is that LW parties tell us we're privileged/racist/sexist/transphobic/Islamophobic and the like while RW parties offer us a tax cut.

The preaching is tiresome. Morality is subjective and I don't much care whether my views are offensive. Making a logical case is far more effective than pushing a moral position.

And I watch as the actual harm from the increasing number of people like you impacts the people around me.

I would have voted against Trump given the opportunity.

How do my views harm you and others?

If I kicked an own goal, you've literally turned up to this soccer match naked thinking you're are allowed to play.

What's weird is that you decided to reply to my post "twice" despite me not responding the first time. Are you unhappy I didn't reply to your post before? Why is that so important to you?

Let's let you play one more time.

Given your criticisms of Asmongold, if you had to rank him with the other three mentioned before (Musk, Rogan and Peterson) how would you rank them from one to four for:

-IQ
-Political Bias to to The Right

Oooh, logical cases you say? Let's start with an easy one: Man whose father tried to start a neonaxi chapter in Canada, grew up in apartheid South Africa, pushes white extinction theory and various other (((globalist))) theories and supports AfD does a Nazi salute twice.

Do you:
A) Assume that at the very least he's dog whistling to the people he's spent the last few years broadcasting and platforming on twitter.

or

B) Assume it was an awkward movement caused by autism.

To pwn teh right. We love to watch them freak out at contradictory behaviour. That's all it is with the left these days. See you on Bluesky!

I'm guessing from this reply thatbyou think ET, Close Encounters and Innerspace are real.
