Ever since the fat retard thoughtslime started using the word (title of a c-tier 1984 horror movie) in a derogatory way to describe right-wingers and right-adjacent people, 4chan saw this as retarded and hilarious and started ironically to call each other chuds.
After bunker trannies spent 10000 hours in ms paint to come up with the low-quality wojakified Patrick Crusius the deal was sealed. Almost immediately after memes were made with the chudface as the protagonist crushing trannies' skulls, gouging their eyes out and inflicting mental torture on them.

I tend to agree with Jean Raspail in that one of the main differences between the left wing and right wingers is in the ability to laugh at oneself. Leftists are always too self-serious. That's why they can't meme. Their only form of humor is in ridiculing people they dislike. The chudjak meme is perhaps the best example of this. The leftist mind is simply unable to comprehend that a person or a group can laugh at themselves.

Popper is widely regarded as a terrible commentator on Hegel and Plato, and for good reason.

Plato is neither a "Chud" or a liberal. His ideas transcend the retarded identity politics of our era. You might as well claim he is a liberal because of the nod to gender equality in The Republic or the idea of communally raised children, but what Plato is doing here is using the state as an analogy for justice, and picking and choosing what fits the mold of modern right/left is a terrible way to actually understand him.

Plato is first and foremost, like Hegel, a philosopher of freedom. But he is primarily concerned with an internal freedom, freedom from being ruled over by appetites and emotion, and moral freedom to transcend current opinions and desires for "what is truly good."

>> No.23262317

>>23262225
Plato is anti-democratic because he thinks people with expertise should manage different states of affairs. The shoe maker knows how to make shows, the doctor knows how to heal. Why then should the leader of public policy be whoever can win a popularity contest?

But it's hard to see how this fits with either the modern left or right. All the complaints against the "deep state," are complaints against the idea of career public policy specialists running the show instead of elected officials and their ideologically appointed staff.

Likewise, anti-scientific views, which have a home on the right and left, cut against Plato's point.

The lauding of commercial success and the fixation on growth as a measurement of success would be the other big place of divergence. Aristotle lists pleonexia, the grasping desire for ever more wealth and volume, as a major vice. Contrast this with why people like Elon Musk are lauded for making so much money.

The ancient and medieval view is too different to be placed into today's categories.

Ah, so you're stupid, ignorant, and a sophist.
A good way to tell if a person's "ideas transcend the retarded identity politics of our era," is to imagine them in a college campus giving an exact exposition of their beliefs. If Plato were to espouse his normal views of gender equality, both the left and right would go
>Okay? So?
If he were then to say
>The last extreme of popular liberty is when the slave bought with money, whether male or female, is just as free as his or her purchaser; nor must I forget to tell of the liberty and equality of the two sexes in relation to each other.
The left would reply WAIT WHAT THE FUCK
And if he were to go on,
>That is what I am doing, I replied; and I must add that no one who does not know would believe, how much greater is the liberty which the animals who are under the dominion of man have in a democracy than in any other State: for truly, the she-dogs, as the proverb says, are as good as their she-mistresses, and the horses and asses have a way of marching along with all the rights and dignities of freemen; and they will run at any body who comes in their way if he does not leave the road clear for them: and all things are just ready to burst with liberty.
Not to mention the before:
>When a democracy which is thirsting for freedom has evil cup-bearers presiding over the feast, and has drunk too deeply of the strong wine of freedom, then, unless her rulers are very amenable and give a plentiful draught, she calls them to account and punishes them, and says that they are cursed oligarchs.
A prescient critique of socialism and communism arising from liberalism.
And what of his racialist views in Menexenus?
>considering that life is not life to one who is a dishonour to his race, and that to such a one neither men nor Gods are friendly, either while he is on the earth or after death in the world below.
Which commentators must grasp for straws again to argue out of Plato's absolutely racialistic thinking? Then we can quote his incontrovertible condemnation of all sexual promiscuity and homosexuality.

We can go on— No matter the very slim "leftist" things you can pick from Plato, all of his views, on the whole, if practiced by any politician today, would result in a resounding and extreme condemnation of ultra far-right extremism. A chud has a lot in common with Plato's views, far more than a modern progressive, and to say "well republicans didn't exist back then so he definitionally cannot be aligned with what we term 'the right'" is sophistry. It doesn't matter, because a Chud will find himself agreeing with almost every word spoken by Plato.

By whom? Argument from authority.
> Plato is neither a "Chud" or a liberal
He was one of the first chuds to roam the earth. Direct quote from him:
> The greatest principle of all’, he writes, ‘is that nobody, whether male or female, should ever be without a leader. Nor should the mind of anybody be habituated to letting him do anything at all on his own initiative, neither out of zeal, nor even playfully. But in war and in the midst of peace—to his leader he shall direct his eye, and follow him faithfully. And even in the smallest matters he should stand under leadership. For example, he should get up, or move, or wash, or take his meals34 … only if he has been told to do so … In a word, he should teach his soul, by long habit, never to dream of acting independently, and to become utterly incapable of it. In this way the life of all will be spent in total community.
> His ideas transcend the retarded identity politics of our era
His ideas are very much in line with most authoritarian ideologies of today. Example: russian historicism and adoration of a strong leader. Constant right winger appeal to tradition and the past.
> You might as well claim he is a liberal because of the nod to gender equality in The Republic or the idea of communally raised children,
Forcing to raise children communally is not liberal.
> but what Plato is doing here is using the state as an analogy for justice
Not an analogy. He DEFINES justice as that which is good for the state. This is clear from many passages in the Republic.
> Plato is first and foremost, like Hegel, a philosopher of freedom
kek maybe if your idea of freedom is not having any personal autonomy, being chained to a pole like cattle, then yes. Otherwise no.
> But he is primarily concerned with an internal freedom, freedom from being ruled over by appetites and emotion, and moral freedom to transcend current opinions and desires for "what is truly good."
And what is truly good turns out, surprise surprise, that which is good for the state. The individual becomes irrelevant. Freedom = freedom of the state to do whatever it wants for the individual. Tasty meat.

Literally everyone agrees that it's better for a more qualified person to manage different states of affairs than for an inexperienced person, all else being equal. This is a false argument. As Popper says, the question is not "who should rule" but rather in what way we should set up a our system of government that is stable and promotes freedom and openness (i.e. isn't authoritarian). Democracy and the open society is a natural answer to that question.

The argument from expertise is right in The Republic. Plato does not think "democracy is bad because I Plato say so," is a good argument. What is important is why it is bad. Why is that exactly?

Is being for democracy or against it the defining feature of left vs right? That would be strange since it would make the Soviet Union, Lenin, and the CCP key right-wing entities, whereas Reagan and Thatcher would be to the left of them.

I said part of Plato's argument against democracy is that it puts leaders in charge who have no expertise in leading or in governance.

You said this is "retarded," and that "not even universities," pretend this is his argument, and that I "clearly have not read Plato." I find this a bit amusing considering the exact example I used "who would you go to to fix your shoes? A shoe maker. Who should run a polis? Whoever is most popular," is pulled directly from Plato:

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://philarchive.org/archive/REIPOD-2&ved=2ahUKEwiYvcLGyrCFAxWQkO4BHeFKBSwQFnoECCEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0NxehsktKpH1bPHEC70MZI

Further, you might consider how Plato sets up his ideal state. What makes the philosopher king the ideal ruler? What is the purpose of their rigorous half century of education?

But this is, of course, deeply at odds with the populism embraced by the "Chudspace," that you get from Tucker, Hannity, Yarvin, Land, etc. Complaints against the deep state, railing about technocrats, etc. is sort of the opposite of what Plato has in mind.

How Plato defines "temperance" in the state is instructive here. It is every member of society being ruled over by the rational part of the soul, striving for the good of the whole (not the individual), and sticking to their role (sort of the opposite of decrying technocrats for not being responsive to "the people").

Another area where Plato diverges from these disparate voices (Tucker, BAP, Land) etc. is on the role and sovereignty of the individual. Plato, like most Greeks of his era, puts the Polis first. MacIntyre's After Virtue is a pretty good case study in how the Greeks viewed the individual's relationship to their polis. They only were who they were in virtue of the polis, and this gives it primacy. We can see this in Socrates' explanation of why he must accept his punishment in Plato's Crito. But you get a quite opposed view watching Hannity or Tucker, or diving into Land (granted, these are also pretty diverse viewpoints).

Popper's analysis of Plato and Hegel is widely derided in that it is an inaccurate account of their viewpoints. But it's worth pointing out here that Yarvin puts forth Popper's open society as the goal that the liberal/left Cathedral is stifling. Nick Land hardly endorsed his work, and yet this is the modern right diametrically opposed to at least part of Plato's project.

Plato is neither left or right in the modern sense. Critics of Plato in the 20th century generally tried to paint him as endorsing the totalitarian states of that era. E.g., Plato's Republic was A Brave New World, or the Soviet Union, etc. But while Plato is an authoritarian, he is not in favor of just any authoritarian rule, only that which is just.

Hegel's Philosophy of Right is probably the best follow on to the Republic, and Hegel likewise is neither left nor right. He is more the ground from which the modern left and right spring.

This is why Honneth of the Frankfurt School and Fukuyama, a neocon, can both embrace Hegel's vision. And indeed, there is plenty Honneth and Fukuyama can agree upon.

The folks who have no common ground are the propagandists, left and right. But the propagandists from both sides cannot claim Plato because they tend towards populism and individualist conceptions of the ideal state.

- deny lebensraum (laid out explicitly by hitler himself in the book in many places)
- he cared about sad incel losers (actually constantly talks about survival of the fittest, that the strong shall rule in the book)
- he was a genius/smart (constant anti-intellectuallism throughout the book, claiming he's street smart and hating on "book-smart" people)
- his hate for the jews wasn't irrational (the book goes from 0 to 100 on jew hatred very quickly without a clear development for reasons for that hatred. Very obvious it was just irrational emotional seething)
- didn't hate slavs/eastern europeans (many derisive remarks about them in the book)

He derided the german objectivity and talked about how germans need to be more irrational and always backing their own side like the french. I.e. he hated objectivity and truth.
Imo his constant seething about how "might makes right" sealed the deal for me. I thought it was mostly a meme about the nazis by the jews, but seeing the words from hitler himself really changed my mind. His own ideology refutes itself, since he lost the war. He was proven wrong by the fact that his enemy was mightier. And I'm glad he lost the war.

>- he wanted simply preserve his own people(actually says in the book he wants to dominate the world)
It literally says he wants to preserve the Germanic people in the face of Eastern persecution. All over Eastern Europe Ethnic Germans were being killed, starved, beaten, raped and worse. Hence Hitler's wish to unify the German people under one banner.

>- deny lebensraum (laid out explicitly by hitler himself in the book in many places)
The land they reclaimed was largely their land that was forced to give up at the conclusion of World War 1, this land was that which was always German and was not acquired during the course of WW1.

>- he cared about sad incel losers (actually constantly talks about survival of the fittest, that the strong shall rule in the book)
Nobody makes this claim.

>- he was a genius/smart (constant anti-intellectuallism throughout the book, claiming he's street smart and hating on "book-smart" people)
He was a gifted individual who had the rare opportunity to remain amongst the working class. His movement, the NSDAP, was that of the rough, working man and not an intellectual movement. As he says in the book, he needed the man of action and not the man of theory. This is does not translate to anti-intellectualism.

>- his hate for the jews wasn't irrational (the book goes from 0 to 100 on jew hatred very quickly without a clear development for reasons for that hatred. Very obvious it was just irrational emotional seething)
Jews were over-represented in Marxist agitation, over-represented in Communist takeovers, over-represented in capitulation during the war, over-represented in malingering, over-represented in financial exploitation, over-represented in child sex circles, over-represented in whoring and prostitution, over-represented in the Weimar alt-sex scene, over-represented in every single aspect of the problems that plagued the German Republic.

>- didn't hate slavs/eastern europeans (many derisive remarks about them in the book)
The one thing you said that was true. Hitler and the Nazi's were not a fan of Slavs and most Eastern Europeans. One must take this in the correct context, that there were many ethnic Germans living amongst the Eastern European nations that they had once owned as Germanic states. These are the only ones they valued.

Except they came of age in a time where more and more of total income went to capital, not labor, where they had to compete with a vast sea of educated foreigners, and where demand for "any guy, so long as he's decently competent," had fallen out of the job market.

So, they are very angry that they were sold on this idea of the "good life," and now find it unachievable. Also, they can't find romantic partners, and online hookup apps have only made this worse.

But they aren't generally actually against technocratic rule. Rather, they see their straits as evidence that the wrong technocrats are in charge. DEI, feminism, etc., evil scheming elites, this has all made it so that the good people aren't ruling.

Thus, there is no real conflict here. Authoritarianism would be ok if the right ruler was in charge, and rule by technocrats would be alright if they could be the technocrats.

But the people who make money riling them up have also gotten them to drink deeply from the well of identity politics and post-modernism, modern sophistry, and that's a whole different issue. "Truth isn't truth," as Guliani put it, it's all "narratives," all the way down.

And this is why you were called a sophist. Your argument is vacuous and does not refute the idea that Plato is located squarely to the right by any measure of "right" or "left." In order to try to "win" a losing argument you are reducing the entirety of Plato's arguments against democracy to "it puts leaders in charge who have no expertise in leading or in governance," and then assuming that in this way you can claim Plato is not right of the modern left.
Again: Sophistry. You might as well say that he wasn't anti-homosexuality because he believed that homosexuality was bad because it led to disorder of the soul, or that he wasn't anti-hedonism because he just wanted to increase justice. I repeat: You rely on sophistry and sophistry alone. You come off as incredibly ignorant and pathetic. (Not to mention your horrific reddit formatting)

The rest of your post is not worth arguing against. You failed to make an argument for why Plato would not be considered right wing, and instead try desperately to reinforce a dead point. But to your comfort, I will ask you whether I would be considered right-wing or left-wing if I were to post this on my tinder profile:
>Homosexual intercourse should be punished with death or exile.
>Women are the weaker sex, but overall there should be equality between the sexes.
>Children should be raised communally where possible.
>Democracy is evil because it leads to people that have no expertise running things. We should be run by the best of the best, the wisest.
>Democracy is also bad because the people become greedy and try to "deprive the rich of their estates and distribute them among the people;"
>And because they "chafe impatiently at the least touch of authority, and at length, as you know, they cease to care even for the laws, written or unwritten; they will have no one over them."
The point isn't that "LE PLATO IS LITERALLY DONDALD DRUMPF!!!!" which your peanut-sized dribbling brain wants to shoehorn everything into (consequently, it is obvious that you cannot escape identity politics), it is that the chud (a rightist) is going to agree with Plato by many leagues and in many more ways than a leftist could. To that effect, any modern political moderate that takes to heart Plato's writings will end up considered by any modern thinker right of where they started. This is all that is necessary to prove the original point: Plato is a good as a chud read.

In the Laws Plato also sets a limit on how much wealth a given family can accumulate and how much of their property a household can alienate. I don't know how this possibly can be said to fit with the modern right.

And you didn't refute my argument, you resorted to name calling again almost immediately. Your first posts had absolutely zero argument, just "you're a retard and haven't read Plato, absolutely no one says that about him."

But of course, you've backtracked on that, since, as I pointed out, my example is directly from Plato.

So no, I don't agree with you, Plato's level of collectivism and the focus on the polis above the individual puts him deeply at odds with the modern right.

Who exactly are the modern right wing thinkers who agree with Plato here? It sure as hell isn't anyone in politics of with a big program in the mass media. It sure as hell isn't Nick Land, Yarvin, or the other post modern right wingers.

You got this from google. Here's a question for you: What concepts do "right" and "left" describe? We are not describing political allegiance to specific parties, but alignment along tendencies towards specific beliefs. Hegel, Plato, Aristotle, Julius Caesar, Cicero, and any random person from history is not going to seem like a leftist if transported to today. That's the point: No one saying that Plato = A Modern Republican Voter. You are an idiot if you believe that. The point is that Plato is going to align more closely with what anyone considers to be right than left, and that's enough to label them as "rightist." Unless you want to start labelling Peterson as leftist because he agrees with gender equality and opposes fascism. Retard.

Also hitler himself talks about this a bit (though indirectly). He talks about how sad he is to see broken german families, alcoholism, the lack of any ambition in his fellow germans, and wonder if it's worth fighting for such people or not at times. Clearly he's experiencing cognitive dissonance because he's holding two contradictory beliefs (survival of the fittest/let the weak die vs serve germans and germany at all cost).

Not the guy you're replying to, but I wanted to jump in because I've heard this point before and I had a question about it.

I agree that jews have a higher than average IQ and that goes pretty far in explaining their representation in intellectual fields, but I don't see how that means you should want them in your society.

Let's set aside the talk about jews being morally decadent, etc, and just think of them as a highly intelligent, distinct ethnic group that lives within a larger host society. Why would I assume that their interests are my interests? Why would I assume that their vision of an ideal society is compatible with my vision of an ideal society? It's visible even with people like Moldbug. He's high IQ and considered to be a radical right-winger, but his ideal society still has this distinctly jewish flavor to it. It's essentially a cosmopolitan aristocracy ruled by a techno-elite that is vaguely racist towards low IQ groups, it's exactly the atmosphere that a jew would feel safe within.

I think it is completely rational that jews feel most at home in diverse bazaar-esque societies that prioritize intelligence and it makes sense that they would have a distaste for an ethnically homogenous society with a folkish spirit that ties the different classes together because in a land like that they are acutely alien.

My point being that I think it is possible to look at jews rationally as highly intelligent, understand the place that they occupy in society without resorting to seeing them as a bugaboo, and at the same time, be very concerned about their presence.

We are all aware of the German-raised Jew being amongst the most intellectually gifted peoples in the World. Yet, why do other non-German fostered jews appear in this group? Could it be that the Germanic influence is what made them the rivals of the land of Poets and Thinkers? Only the Ashkenazi are referenced, amongst the many dozens of jewish sub-groups.

You can't refute theorists as their is nothing to refute. It is opinion vs opinion. This is the pitfall the Right falls in to today. Further he explicitly criticized the intellectual for lack of action, dozens of Nationalist/Racialist/Germanic groups when the DAP was founded, none amounted to anything. It took a man of action to forge a handful of theorists, intellectuals and thinkers in to the most feared political party the world has ever known.

He refutes the presence of Objectivity in the Parliamentary system and in ruling. Which is correct, there is more to leadership than simply stats and figures as we are learning today.

Why would you assume that about any other ethnic group? That's a weird question. Their individual self interest is likely to have some elements at odds with your individual self-interest (as with the case with any two individuals). If you're referring to a group interest, it's perfectly legitimate for a group to have interests as long as it respects and tolerates other groups.

Why would a vision of an ideal society matter at all? All visions of an ideal society are delusions/mirages. Reality is simply too hard to predict for that.

If you believe in racial supremacy (my people should rule over this land) and want to expel other ethnicities, obviously that's a rational reason to be concerned about the presence of the other groups.

Ah yes, which is why the jews were massively over-represented in every aspect of Communism that was related to the brutal murder and genocide of native Europeans. Be it the Cheka, the NKVD, the KGB and more. It is entirely a coincidence that they were underrepresented in the camps as prisoners and the OKB's as scientists in Russia. Yet somehow, despite the persecution they suffered in Germany, after the war they occupied much of the same positions, they were over-represented in the Communist party Organs and intelligence agencies.

I think that the presence of jews in Arab or black societies would make sense because, despite their interests possibly being at odds with their host from time to time, their intelligence offsets the deficit in intelligence that the host society has, so they might overall do more good.

This is much less of an issue with northern Europeans though, and I wonder if this has something to do with the historical tension that they have. If I'm German or English, I don't know that I value the intelligence of jewish people that much. They'll contribute about as much as my own people would, but I get the downside of them advocating for their ethnic interests or pushing a psychology that is at odds with the way that my people think.

Germans, for example, are racially autistic. They're all painfully autistic, like little robots obsessed with order, efficiency, hierarchy, the ends justify the means, etc. That is their ethnic psychology and I would trust that German intellectuals would be more likely to come up with ideas that are compatible with that spirit. Maybe they'll push boundaries here and there, but fundamentally, they come from that spirit and are not going to wildly disrupt it. Jews are not like that though. They're egalitarian, they're moralizers, they have odd sexual complexes and neurosis, they're pretty tribal and that can at times make them hypocritical. That's just their spirit, for better or worse that's what they're coming with along with the intelligence, and whether or not you think that the juice is worth the squeeze is going to vary.

It's just important to know what you're getting. I think that looking at people as collections of individuals and blinding yourself to larger patterns of behavior that is visible within groups is just wearing blinders.

I'm genuinely curious where you get the idea that Plato argued for executing people for homosexual relations. What dialogue?

The stuff about "gays," seems to be the linchpin of your argument, since you've acknowledged that, yes, Plato was for radical wealth redistribution, yes, he says some things in favor of gender equality in terms of vocation, and yes, he is more of technocrat than a populist.

So, where is that?

I find it strange that Plato apparently called for death to all gays when he explicitly has Socrates argue for a battalion of gay lovers to serve in the military in the Symposium, ala the Sacred Band of Thebes who BTFO the Spartans.

Maybe you are referring to The Laws? But Plato doesn't say anything about "death an exile." Rather, he says same sex attraction is particularly overpowering and that it is bad for the same reason opposite sex lusts can be bad.

But then again, I am a retard who clearly hasn't read Plato, so hopefully you can clue me into how advocating for gay battalions is the same thing as wanting all gays killed or exiled.

Let this law, then, whether it is one, or ought rather to be called two, be laid down respecting love in general, and the intercourse of the sexes which arises out of the desires, whether rightly or wrongly indulged.
This is one of the punishments listed for all unnatural lusts (which explicitly includes homosexual intercourse). It is the total stripping of all civil rights.

Advocating for gay battalions? Yes-- take it out of context and do ignore everything Plato writes that you dislike. Oh, the Symposium? Clearly Plato was writing his beliefs when he spoke of gay sex, clearly Pausanias and Aristophanes speak for the views of Plato (despite the latter being ridiculed by Plato), and not Socrates, whose role in the Symposium is to be the first to give a speech that speaks directly and favorably about hetereosexual intercourse. I'm guessing you're one of "those" people.
>Quite so, Socrates; and they are really fools, for how can a man be happy who is the servant of anything? On the contrary, I plainly assert, that he who would truly live ought to allow his desires to wax to the uttermost, and not to chastise them; but when they have grown to their greatest he should have courage and intelligence to minister to them and to satisfy all his longings. And this I affirm to be natural justice and nobility. To this however the many cannot attain; and they blame the strong man because they are ashamed of their own weakness, which they desire to conceal, and hence they say that intemperance is base. As I have remarked already, they enslave the nobler natures, and being unable to satisfy their pleasures, they praise temperance and justice out of their own cowardice.

You have to prove that Pausanias does, when Pausanias' views conflict with those found the the Laws, and Socrates' do not.
Just the same way that we can be sure Gorgias does not speak for Plato because his words are in conflict with words found in other parts of Plato's works.

In conclusion, a chud that reads Plato and takes it to heart will:
>Have new arguments against homosexuality.
>Become more staunchly opposed to liberalism.
>More favorable amenable to national socialism and its restructuring of wealth to support a middle class without needless plundering from the rich or outright communism of the "left", loosely what leftists decry as state cronyism.
>Have interesting racialist arguments from Menexenus to further entrench his racism
>Believe more firmly that hedonism is bad, and thus drugs, promiscuous sex, porn, etc., have worse positions in his mind.
>Be able to further entrench his morality, as Plato believes in objective morals (rather than subjectivity of Thrasymachus or various pre-Socratics)
Leftist things he may consider:
>Women should be able to prove themselves equal, if they are up to the task
>Communal raising of children, which Plato later withdrew to a large degree in the Laws

Taking a general stance against altruism as a reaction against its extremes is retarded.

The political right has been defined by a wholehearted embrace of capitalism and individualism for over a century. If you want to say Plato is on "the right" because he agrees with some of the tenants of national SOCIALISM (leaving out the identitarian racial ones notably), that's fine. That doesn't seem very right wing in the modern context though.

You have to go back 70+ years to not have the right joined at the hip with individualistic capitalism.

>It was once again proven that the left can't meme.
The chudjack was triggering to /pol/ at first but memes move so fast nowadays, evolving too fast to be unpacked, and are so quickly recuperated or flipped around by the people who are the butt of the joke. To have any hope you have to learn how to volley back immediately, re-appropriate and re-deploy, and to play with language and imagery, otherwise you'll get played by them.

>>23262116
>Leftists are always too self-serious. That's why they can't meme.
I don't think that's true any longer, see Dark Brandon. Okay, this WAS true circa 2016. Really, the left (in a broad sense, liberals) had developed a reputation for grim humorlessness after they developed extreme anxiety, or logophobia and logophilia, over the meaning of words and images which never made any empirical or theoretical sense. If anything it just them in a thicket of hooey. For decades they more or less accepted the sort of research on strategic messaging that emerges out of academic communications programs. This teaches you that you must construct a compelling "narrative." You have to control the way an "issue" is publicly "framed" by the careful use of controlled phraseology and then repeat it over and over. Progressives concluded that all they need to do is control the way they talk, so they can control the way we think. Nothing improvised, loose, human: stay on message, prompter, talking points. But it makes you slow, stupid, and mechanical.

But they kept getting waylaid unexpectedly. Like, this is a big reason why Trump kicked their ass, and blew them away with "fake news," which was accomplished with the flick of a sentence. It took Democrats years to face up to that one. But they've learned to loosen up. The pro-Biden forces depicting Biden in a fascistic way (by re-appropriating extremist far-right language and memes) and adopting the name "Brandon" (soon after Trumpfags started saying "Let's go Brandon!") is an example of that. And the extreme incongruity of Brandon as a jocular dude who eats ice cream but who is also powerful and looks like Voldemort makes it funny, and funny makes it stick. Nobody thought the Democrats had it in them.

The memes against the left remain timeless. There is something inherent to leftists of today that make is so a simple depiction of a hairy tranny triggers them endlessly, and the best they can do to "reappropriate" it is to create AI generated anime girls with the same colors and themes.

As for Dark Brandon, it was retarded from the start. Nobody considered it funny or a fitting description of reality, and it was astroturfed by several media companies to maintain any relevancy. It lacks the self-deprecating self-awareness that rightoids have, where a rightoid will unironically depict Trump as a retarded baboon pooping on leftists because they think it's funny and an accurate description of Trump and their politics. Leftists have none of this self-deprecating nature- similar to how Dark Brandon is supposed to be a compliment and in no way a deprecation of any of Biden's characteristics, trannies do not adopt the trooner in the same way that /pol/faggots adopted the chud; They use extremely unrealistic depictions of what they see themselves as (those anime "enbies" that they love). Chuds even go so far as to straight up adopt the idealized depiction of a tranny- with a chudjak dating a tranny, killing an anime tranny, or whatever, for no other reason than that it is funny.

Leftists can't compete, and I think it's related to the fact that as a politically and socially marginalized group, /pol/fags have learned that stigma is normal and accepted. Most of their friends and family would disown them for their beliefs, employer would fire them, girlfriend leave them, etc. They are able to just go along with whatever because that's what they've done all their life.

Actually, what was funny about dark brandon is that it was a completely non-self aware meme. When a leftist tries to depict their figurehead (that falls down stairs and off bikes, enters complete incoherence on live TV, etc) as a Voldemort grandpa that likes icecream, it's funny because it's out of touch. The incogruity isn't between Ice Cream Grandpa and Voldemort, it's between the Leftists view of Biden and how they depict him.

Well to your point, I was looking at right-wing Xitter the other day and saw one Trump supporter using the name President Blumph with the squashed Trump meme, which I thought was funny. It's not my account, and I'm not a Trump supporter, I really did think it was funny, or self-aware and cognizant of the fact that Trump is not actually playing 5D chess.

Well I read something recently that "troon" was originally used by trannies at Something Awful because it's similar to "goon." A trans goon. The SA forums has long had that kind of self-deprecating humor and the politics there lean left. And it didn't have the punch and history of words like "fag" "dyke" and "trannie." Then it worked its way to the right and lots of kiwifags are convinced they invented the word but they didn't. To have some fun and play it with it more, the troon word is a trans Bene Gesserit psyop to make the word trannie slowly disappear in the language of their enemies so they can eventually recuperate it and use it for themselves.

Sure, but I'm talking about the memetic depiction rather than the word itself.

But yeah, even if you are a tranny-supporting leftist that hates white people, I can respect you infinitely more than an ignorant boomertard that thinks Trump is le Genius and the second coming of Jesus. It's okay to realize that Joe Biden is in the advanced stages of senility (and probably dementia) but to also believe that Joe Biden is better than Trump. Most leftists don't do this because they are extremely sensitive to biting critiques, and there is a lot more social pressure to conform on the left.

Recently the only shit I’ve seen them come up with is accusing RW activists of being brown or making pro-Jewish memes that allude to Jewish supremacy as a real and good thing.

Yeah it's a kind of black/white thinking. The way the split on the left goes, is that you deny that he's senile or is some stage of it, if you're on Biden's team. Or if you're a Cornel West supporter or are voting for the PSL showboat because of Gaza, then Biden and Trump are just the same -- which is not something that I think most people on the right believe.

>But yeah, even if you are a tranny-supporting leftist that hates white people,
More of a broad left-center unity type, but it's funny you say that because I found President Blumph through another guy I was looking at who was a right-center unity guy with a Alberto Fujimori avatar, who thinks Tim Pool is an idiot and he's like: we want to win but the hardline pro-lifers think they can pray actual political hurdles away.

The only similarity is that from your perspective, they generally appear to be in the opposite direction that you're going, thus you lump them all together. This is fine politically, a win for either one is a loss for you, but when you say things like that it just makes you obviously ignorant.

The reason for this is that they do not disagree with modern day liberals on any actual philosophical point. The MAGAtard still agrees with the tenants of the enlightenment, liberalism, equality, liberty, etc., but they have "outdated" beliefs on what that entails. Modern progressivism has more or less agreed that equality and liberty are only possible by enforced equity, something boomers disagree with, but they do not disagree on the overall objective (equality and liberty).

The chud is in a class of his own, because he rejects the basic tenants of the modern left and right. He has completely abandoned the modern political arena.

None of this is true, btw, other than maybe race mixing. You're acting like MAGAs were the demographic following The Grateful Dead around in vans, but that's cartoonishly out of touch.

I don't have them on hand but 4chan (and basic email) had double carriage returns before reddit existed.

Of course two line breaks have always occurred. It was much rarer before the 2016 invasion, and even before the project scientology 2012 invasion (I joined 4chan from newgrounds in 2010 or so, so not a real oldfag).
What makes your post easily distinguishable is the frequent separation of two or three two clause sentences by the double line breaks, and the lack of any other form of structure in your post.

Many other anons used double line breaks ITT but no one called them out, because it is done in a very natural way, uncharacteristic of a redditorm

Reddit is essentially just a synonym for normie, but there are specific idiosyncracies about redditors like atrocious self-referential humor, smug superiority despite extreme ignorance (the top comment effect), and an obsession with the group consensus.
The last one is something redditors like to harp on about on 4chan "4chan hivemind! 4chan hivemind!" but that betrays the fact that they are so accustomed to total group consensus that they cannot see that every single thread on every single board is full of disagreements from the top down. No two chuds are exactly alike. Some believe society should kill all blacks. Some literally are black. Their views are unified by being things you could get banned for on reddit, so the redditor thinks it all looks the same for lack of experience.

So is being 4chan just being /pol/ now? Many anons are indistinguishable from each other. They could literally be bots or samefagging. Look at all the recycled threads and paint by numbers replies. Anons constantly calling Reddit always give the impression they found 4chan in the last few years because it is based and redpilled or whatever. Seems like they are trying too hard to fit in and make their whole 4chan persona about posting on 4chan.

Again, it all looks indistinguishable to you because you see every disagreement as the exact same thing. You have a reddit mindset.
But of course, there are a lot of newfags that try to go with whatever is le based. The problem is that reddit leftist views aren't just different, they're also stupid. In a place where you can practice free thought without getting banned, there is a sort of expectation that you'll at least stop repeating the objectively retarded points.

For example, native 4chan leftists tend to agree Jews have a disproportionate amount of economic and political influence because they have been exposed to the essentially irrefutable proof of it. They just don't think it matters, which is fine.

It'd be a lot harder for /pol/ to make this claim if literally everyone right of /pol/ wasn't also making this claim. 80 years of allied propaganda would have most people believe that the Nazis were bitter, pathetic, hated losers in the 20's who rose to become extremely powerful but inhumane monsters in the 30's. It's not surprising that sad incel losers buy into Nazi ideology when leftists keep telling them that Goebbels and Hitler were also sad loners, transformed by Nazism's worship of strength into some of the most powerful men alive.

Sex is readily available if you know where to look and drop unnatural and warped Christian beliefs, i'm talking about ''massage parlours'' and things like escort sites, street corner prozzies should generally be avoided as they're usually on drugs.

I am the opposite really, i could get women but i was never bothered about relationships, just sex, and nearly anyone would do even if the women were 20 years older than me. You can feel a connection to a woman without being in a relationship, go talk to your mother or sister if you have one.

In my view, I believe this to be as intellectually, Jews are a rootless, groundless people. The monopolization of intellectual circles by the Jews is a, relatively speaking, new occurrence, it only occurred within the last 100-150 years. As for before, it was all Western men, Western men for the last 2000 years, so when the Jews penetrated such circles, they were free to explore without being tied down to dogma, tradition, and so on. Is this a good thing? Yes and no. Jewish history was cyclical, they were just fleeing from a certain area, and coming into another, this has been true for the majority of their history. The intellectual tradition of the Jews is sparse, in my view. We've lost alot of what our civilization developed in the last 2000 years.
