Whether you are privately a conservative or not is immaterial.

If someone wanted to build an online conservative persona monomaniacally obsessed with, and fanatically antagonistic toward, all things progressivism, it would look indistinguishable from your Twitter account.
This is not a knock against conservatism. It's a plea for being forthright about what our discourse commitments are. MFer tells us he's an independent when it's been literal years since he's taken a single position that any Democrat would take.
You want to know what's it's like to be an independent? To be an antitribalist? It means a followership that likes every *other* tweet of yours, or every third tweet of yours, because in the in-between ones inexorably offend or bother them.

This is what some mean when they complain about the harmfulness of "identity politics": Omar was dinged for placing the U.S. and the Taliban on a par, and rather than defend that implicit claim of equivalence, the response offered here is a phantom invocation of "anti-blackness."
Speaking for myself and—I'm confident—many others, I would've offered the same criticism if the equivalence was made by a disembodied artificial consciousness from the planet L9LZRUG.

Omar's "blackness" had nothing to do with it.
“Stop Islamophobically policing our wholesome attempts to draw equivalencies between terrorist networks and the United States”

Imagine wanting to re-up this tweet rather than frantically moving to scrub it from the internet in abject shame over its imbecility.
Since he insists on re-upping his, guess I gotta re-up mine:

Lindsay is a fanatical clown whose unaccountable ravings have repelled far more people than they've attracted.

One frustration “anti-woke” critics have with a thread like this is that its central complaint is fundamentally about the problem of mislabeling, about linguistic imprecision, rather than about the propriety of the various initiatives being described as “CRT”
This is one of @olivertraldi's points in his piece for @ArcDigi yesterday.

He calls it a form of "language control and gatekeeping."

It is obviously important to journalistically check rhetorical maneuvers by activists against the facts. It's equally obvious that this classificatory move shouldn't be the main focus of our concern.

Liberals are forced to accept that after Shapiro's "W.A.P." acapella cover and now Tom MacDonald's communist-melting street anthem, the right is now dominating rap music.
Sample headline from conservative media: "EMINEM WHO? Rapper Tom MacDonald, a disciple of the streets, eviscerates wokeness with rugged hood slang that he actually knew BEFORE binge-watching HBO's THE WIRE"
"I GIVE WOKE NESS NO REST
HOTTER THAN HARRY STYLES IN A HOE'S DRESS
WAIT HAHA I MEANT HE LOOKS BAD
SAW ART OF THE DEAL IN MY BOOK BAG AND GOT SHOOK BACK
BEST BEER? LEFT TEARS
DRINKIN LIKE THERE'S NO NEXT YEAR
CALL HAWLEY I'M HAVIN TECH FEARS
CALL MOLLIE I NEED THE PRESS SMEARED"

Solidarity with Jeb here. I would be similarly devastated if my son ever took a Trumpian turn. ImageImage
Read @rumpfshaker's write-up, which is good.

What's the end game here, pops? I mean you had to know you would be immediately blocked. Were you just hoping for one perfect troll, one unforgettable night where your reply guy efforts led to two, maybe three likes?
