Beneath the cringe and dumb politics of Populism Inc (Trump) and Conservatism Inc (GOP establishment) is an undercurrent of radicalism among young right wing people that we haven't really seen manifest politically yet
The important thing going forward is to ensure that radicalism doesn't get jiujitsued and assimilated into dead end grifts but instead is allowed to take on a life of its own
It will have to both infiltrate the GOP and create its own things but it cannot lose sight of the fact that the establishment cannot ultinately be reformed, it needs radical change
It says something about conservatives that they immediately assumed that by "radical" I meant something negative. We *need* radicalism. I don't want anything to do with conservatism, which hasn't conserved anything. ImageImageImage

Thank you Trump for doubling down in your defense of the humble, the meek, the powerless who do not have a voice: Fauci, Pfizer, and the federal government
Personally I think it's a real sign of courage that Trump didn't hold Fauci accountable for funding the Wuhan lab because Larry Kudlow told him libs wouldn't like it, and instead became a salesman for big pharma and a friend of Fauci
If he had a coherent, consistent message, it would be less detestable. But the wavering, the pathetic flip flopping based on what GOP shills like Kudlow tell him he should say, is pathetic

We went from calls for unity and healing to threatening and vilifying real fast. You're probably going to start seeing violence against people who either aren't vaccinated or are suspected of not being vaccinated as a result.
I'm still not getting the jab though
As MG says, you need to be putting on mass, you need to be getting stronger, these people are sick, they're deranged, you need to be prepared to defend yourself from five, six, twelve, fifteen opponents at once, you need to be getting so big you can't fit through the door

Problem is, we need people who are willing to endure the firestorms of the left for doing the right thing

Here the right thing to do would have been to fire Fauci and put him on trial for his involvement in funding the Wuhan lab. Now we're dealing with the failure to act
Fauci is also an insufferable little nerd who should at least spend the rest of his life in prison
Pros: hold accountable a major villain in what is essentially a civilizational catastrophe with far reaching implications that have fundamentally changed life as we know it for the worse

Cons: the left gets mad

This is more infuriating the more you think about it

Before Darrell Brooks massacred six people, the media declared Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal proof of white supremacy. Brooks' Facebook showed he was well-read on BLM media narratives.

Now it's happening with the Ahmaud Arbery case. Will there be another Brooks type massacre?
Three white men got mandatory life--including one guy who was unarmed and recorded the incident from a distance--but that's not good enough. We need a "cure" for our white problem. Brooks agreed.
There have been zero consequences for the journalists who lied about Rittenhouse, the facts of the case, or the prosecutor who enabled Darrell Brooks to kill. The managers of the American establishment in media and law enforcement are getting people killed with impunity.
