I am appalled. I will continue being appalled. This week has reveled some truly horrific behavior. You’d think by now I would understand that most of the time humans are fallen, cowardly, and stupid.
Despite this meme’s insistence on conflating the “alt-rieich” branch of the alt-right with the rest of us (that’s okay, pretty much everyone does), it’s pretty ding dang dong correct.
I lost interest in that faction of the alt-right when most of its podcast hosts blithely declared that they would be democrats if we lived in an all-white society. Basically they wanted to live in pre-migration Sweden. Let’s ignore the fact that the people in pre-migration Sweden were the ones who let in the migrants.
Many of these same people insist on reacting like emotional teenage girls when they’re criticized by anyone on the actual right.
And then, of course, the alt-right’s favorite candidate for congress doxxed one of the most influential meme figures of the Great Meme Wars (RIP Ricky Vaughn).
It’s weeks like these that we’re reminded that there’s left and fake-right in the mainstream of every movement. Just like the democrats and republicans are really two different flavors of the same ruling party, you got your communists and your neo-nazi flavors of the “new right.”
And then there are the rest of us who actually believe in individual liberty, and with it, responsibility.
Most people don’t understand this. It’s why (I believe) that the voting franchise was so limited at first.
There is a very small minority of people who care about doing things right. The rest just go through the motions.
