…and yet there is a reason theAlt-right pipeline exists, but not an alt-left.

Being a stepping stone ideology on the path to facism alone should give a normal person pause to critically think about their direction in the first place.

Again, don’t aggrandize Conservatism.

I understand where you’re coming from, but actual meatspace reality is starkly different to hypothetically working out the end goal threat model of each quadrant and stating it aligns.

Completely dehumanizing the conversation to prop up ridiculous arguments with false equivalence to a meme graph is not an effective argument.

Sure that’s a useful topography if you’re an AI only familiar with a meme graph chart and think in black and white devoid of any nuance.

Hey, don’t aggrandize Conservatism like that.

It and facism have strong ideological ties in that they both take root in the idea of a ruling monarchy, which is how we actually got here.

The only difference between it and the big F are how many people are in actual control, and how overt they are about removing civil rights.
