I can't believe that there are youngsters actually growing up in this absolute sh*tshow of an era, seeing everything we see today as the "standard" for their areas. Seeing today's political battleground (left vs right, "sjws" vs "altright", etc), racial tensions, gender relations, consumerist dystopia, infantilized media, absence of any sacredness for anything (sex, life, our planet, etc all reduced to meaninglessness), and everything else, as "the way things are". I genuinely can't fathom growing up and letting today's mutated versions of these realms paint your whole conception of them.

What's it like in rural America?
I grew up in a 50k+ "town" and experienced all of this, still not to the degree of living in a city (which I do now because of school).

I feel the same. I genuinely believe that anti-natalism is the way to go today. Humanity is donezo, the objects have won, there is no way out of hyperreality. Stop adding more shit into the world and let humanity die off, there is absolutelty no reason or fulfillment in bringing up kids in this world anymore.

>"sjws" vs "altright"
The alt right is not a political force and no one cares what they think about anything. I'm not saying this as a put down but absolutely no one is afraid of disapproval or controversy coming from their direction.

Well, time goes on, things change, and eventually might dissappear. If you revolve your life around any of this movements, or images of the current age, you will cease to exist as well.

I think as fellow ones who aren't comfortable in this era, must find a purpose or motive to keep living on under own our terms, it is difficult without resorting to others advice of comfort (who might as well be products of their time and fuck know anything), something like that.

I'm 18 and I can tell you nobody cares about anything. I don't mean that in a sense of goofy teenagers or trying to sound old and wise. My younger brother is 16 and his plans in life are to drop out of school and become a youtuber. Talk about minimal effort.

The alt-right barely qualifies as a singular ideology, it’s more like a social group so far removed from the SJWs’ restrictive mores that they have higher susceptibility to extremism. It’s not that they are all Nazis, they’re just far more likely to consider national socialism.

OK, my view is that ours is only a brief period in what will be a much longer time in which humans will roam the earth. What we're seeing is just a stage, as humanity tries to cope with its discoveries like a teenager coping with their hormones.

my question had more to do with the difference between a party member, a sympathizer, and a more or less sympathizer. First of all how you draw the line, but also if he gives the same level of variety to current politics and older ones.

The more extreme tendencies of Weimar Republic politics were a result of Revanchism, hyper-inflation/genuine economic depression (current bear market is complete pussy shit compared to what was going on in Germany in the 20’s and 30s), and divisive regional differences such as catholic Bavaria vs Protestant Prussia. US politics are incredibly moderate in comparison and there is little to no support for a genuinely far right or far left political movement. Trump is the farthest right the pendulum will swing and he’s the Diet Pepsi of real reform and the farthest left the pendulum could swing would be a European style socialist like Bernie who still believe in the general principles of a capitalist economy. The only similarities are extremely generalizable characteristics like both locations and eras Conservative parties catering to traditional “family values”, and that’s only the same because it’s an easy way to gain votes.

Anyone who thinks an extreme ideaology is going to come out of the current social-economic dynamic in the US seriously underestimates how shitty things have to be for people to be drawn en mass to such beliefs. The entire system is constructed to keep people happy enough for such a revolution to not happen so that the status quo can be largely maintained and companies can keep making money. Just look at how disasterous a relatively small economic change can be for a politicians reputation here, like the Trump tarriffs.

My initial remark had little to do with that, to be honest. I was just making the observation that alt-righters are more likely to consider far-right ideology because they already inhabit politically incorrect environments.

Whether they sympathize, become fascists, or oppose it is entirely determined by the results of their examination of these ideologies. The main point of distinction between alt-righters and normies is that the latter will never look to fascism or nazism as a valid, debatable belief system. In other words, they never even CONSIDER it. For them, terms like ‘fascist’, ‘nazi’, and ‘reactionary’ are pejorative.

Of course, but my point is, at the end of the day they are just reactionaries from our political time trying to restore the old (idealized) world order or something. When you subscribe to a political idea, you might grow and learn along it, but what I fear is, eventually you become an echo chamber, parroting other people ideas and become comfortable inside a group with clear enemies and what not. You may grow out of it and develop your own ideals, at least in my case, I wish to remain myself whatever direction the time pendulum swings by.

Really? Because you said that the Weimar Republics political climate is similar to the current political climate in the US, and then I listed 3 major reasons why it is not.
