Trump brought the Regeneracy, just not in the way he expected.

And how is Prussian German "even worse"? Inquiring minds want to know.

Quote:A lot of my attitudes to social issues come from my own personal experiences growing up of often being ostracized and bullied, of being constantly accused of being gay just because I didn't act sufficiently "conventionally masculine" for the rural Midwest. It left me with a deep resentment against socially conservative views of all kinds and made me want to stick up for the eccentrics, minorities, and odd-balls.

Imagine for a moment life for an actually gay, racial minority who to grew up in the Midwest (and most of the time rural Midwest at that). And Middle Illinois and Indiana are not known for their history of racial tolerance. I could have grown resentful myself had I chosen to go that route. Instead, I chose to better myself and to dominate those who would otherwise dominate me. Probably because I have a master morality rather than a slave morality.

(Wikipedia is not comprehensive but it gives you a few places to start. Like the Bible I've forgotten more Nietzche than most people ever learn.)

As for socially conservative...you need to define that.

I have no use for bible thumpers really but they are mostly small, and growing old. They can be easily ignored. Even the most otherwise conservative people in X and Millies (and probably even Z) have no problems with either gays or racial minorities (unless of course said gays or racial minorities make themselves a problem). [Who starts it does matter Odin.]

I have no problem with those who want to preserve American society as it currently is (well for the most part). And as for government, the less of it there is the better I like it. And the more local it is, the better I like it.

Quote:And you accuse me of reading "propaganda",

I don't accuse you, I'm telling you point blank the trash you're reading IS propaganda.

I mean don't get me wrong, everything else is propaganda too, but one offers hope, the other only slavery. Socialism may make everyone equal, but it makes them equally poor, and equally debased. Given the choice between a lowest common denominator form of equality and the inequality of being able to reach whatever heights I am capable of. I choose the latter.

>>>I suggest reading "Radicalism and its Stupidities". But I have to admit the book while short is over a century old, and written for England of that time.

Quote:but to me

Negates your following point.

Quote:that is what all YOUR side's material is, I have zero time for any of the Right's "Leftists are the real racists" nonsense and other such garbage. Your denial that your side is full of Neo-Nazis that think you are an inferior human being is sad.

I've never denied that Neo-Nazis exist. They do. Just like the Klan exists. But they are neither numerically or politically powerful. The best antiseptic for terrible ideas is to let them be spoken (and then ridiculed). Unless of course your contention is that everyone else lacks the capacity of intellect to make up their own mind about the nature of such ideas.

As for the racism of the left: Tell me who still brings up systemic racism? Not the right. In fact if the US had a system of overt racial oppression then explain to me why the US elected a black president, not once, but twice (so it wasn't no fluke). To hear the leftists talk, the US is one big Klan rally. Well, I'll be damned if they didn't just make a <N> Grand Wizard (or whatever) for 8 years.

If the left isn't racist then explain to me why I "need" affirmative action to get X job, or Y degree? Is it because as a black person I'm mentally inferior to whites? If I'm as good as a white would I not be hired just like the white? If I'm as smart as the white and have the money wouldn't I get the degree?

Coming from someone who is himself black, the only people who still use "because slavery X, Y, Z" are themselves still slaves. Their mind is chained into a slave morality. They have a slave mentality because of that morality. And on top of that not even all slaves were black (just like not all masters were white). The largest group of slaves for the longest period of time in America were actually Irish. I don't see any micks running around whining about slavery. No instead they got free and went out and got for themselves.

Odin the Problem of Racism on the Left is that they don't recognize that they are racist. Part of that has to do with the Left being filled with those who use Slave Morality. Part of it is they don't see anything wrong with taking advantage of those with a slave morality.
