general dissident ideosphere is floating politically in the most interesting way. everyone sees kirk style "capitalism rules bro" is super lame but most arent sold on any "alternative to capitalism", no ideology reigns aside from a desire for a normal society, i think about this
lefties tell me what separates the left + the right is class consciousness or something like that but the "right wing" people talk about billionaires milking americans like cattle often and hate the new technocratic elite as much as any person on the opposite end of the spectrum
some people tell me what makes someone right wing is being "pro free market" but i cant think of anyone thats "on the right" that wouldnt lmao at the idea of supporting the free market at the expense of the nations citizens.
saying the elite are conspiring against the working class of america is a form of class consciousness (isnt that left?). so i turn on tucker carlson at my parents house and thats exactly what hes saying. so the most right wing guy on fox is promoting class consciousness...? what
likewise i check out some 3rd world communist ideologue + theyre talking about the importance of nation + protecting the people. in juche they talk about how everything in korea should be korean and of the korean mind and style. far left enshrinement of nationalist "peoplehood"
i have no point or conclusion but i think its all a little weirder than people are making it out to be in a way that goes at least slightly beyond "yeah the left-right political spectrum is a flawed concept"
