New account but I’ve been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I’ve been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since reddit-logo and everytime it’s an account from another federation. I was tepidly against federation at first but this has been entertaining, like the old days of pigpoop people who wandered into the sub.

I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let’s enjoy it for now.

    Nah man. You’re doing what the white moderates did to the civil rights activists, and you’re doing what the liberals did to the lgbt activists.

    You’re claiming that we’d be more effective if we toned it down, dialed it back a bit, only pursued things in a lukewarm way.

    You are devoted more to order instead of justice.

    The best approach is the one that works, the one that motivates a movement, the one that creates something. That’s what we did, and I regret absolutely none of it. You should absolutely read MLK’s letter from a birmingham jail, it’s quite relevant here.

    You won’t like this comparison, but I say it is extremely apt to compare you to the white moderate, people who are sympathetic in the abstract but judgmental of the tactics deployed in actual campaigns.

        The goal is not to bring as many people on board at all. This is a complete misunderstanding of the tactics of these radical pushes.

        The goal is to make libs uncomfortable. Because it is the only thing that causes them to move their position.

        Their entire thing is “uphold the status quo”. This is the position of pretty much every single politically illiterate liberal who really doesn’t understand what any ideology actually is. They change their shape in order to fit themselves into whatever the existing social paradigm is.

        This is why LGBT people got absolutely nowhere with liberals until they literally bullied them with riots and pride parades saying a big visible fuck you to everyone that ever tried to make them invisible. They could not be asked to change they had to be bullied and forced. Once the social paradigm is changed they then accept it.

        This is why anger and cancelling on twitter became a thing. It bullies liberals into new social paradigms.

        This is why it works for dirtbag leftists.

        And this is why they picked up guns and shot at whoever the nazis told them to shoot at. Not because they were true believers. But because mussolini or hitler and every other fascist simply bullies them into a new social paradigm… and once the paradigm is changed they accept it.

        Liberals are absorbomorphs. Their ideology is absorbomorphism.

        This is the tactic that you’re against, the only tactic that works - make them uncomfortable so that they then shift their position in order to find a new comfort-zone. Because that’s all they want, to find a comfortable space to exist in to live and not really think about anything. If they’re comfortable currently they WILL NOT MOVE until you first make them uncomfortable.

        They will not bother with attempting to understand anything until you have first made them uncomfortable, because they’re lazy. They are comfortable and lazy and do not want to learn shit unless they must, and they only feel like they must after you have first made them uncomfortable.
