Guy has Nazi brother, is okay with it.
I really hate that news media are trying to normalize Nazis. Like there are legit moderate and conservative people who are against the fascist shit going on by MAGA but they are being drowned out and kicked while being down by this partisan, divisional bullshit.
As much as I understand and agree with your point, I also believe that if these legit moderate and conservative people truly wanted to be seen as such, they’d separate from the Party entirely and stop supporting it.
Otherwise, get fucked you racist cunts. The time to ‘agree to disagree’ passed a long time ago.
Yeah, “civility” and decorum aren’t solutions to our problem. They can help mask over ideological divisions, but only ever temporarily. The fact is, it’s not possible for the United States to adopt contrasting, mutually exclusive ideologies simultaneously.
The US cannot be, for instance, both fully socialist and fully capitalist at the same time, or fully autocratic and fully democratic at the same time. It is possible for a compromise to be struck, in which parts of each ideology are adopted to form some kind of “hybrid” model, and that might seem reasonable, but that almost always results in half measures and policies that are knee capped from their inception, making them ineffective at achieving their stated goal.
And not all ideologies are equally capable of achieving the same goal, assuming they even have the same goal. Again, autocracy and democracy are mutually exclusive. The goals of autocracy supporters and the goals of democracy supporters are in direct opposition to one another. I suppose you could try and form some kind of hybrid between the two, but, besides being ridiculous and nonfunctioning, it wouldn’t fully satisfy either the autocrats or the democrats, and they would be constantly looking for ways to undermine the other with the aim of fully implementing their system.
And then of course not all ideologies are equally ethical. No rational person is going to claim that a violent, genocidal fascist government is as ethical as a democracy that protects basic human rights for all.
That being said, humans are complicated, and it is often the case that no ideology fully captures all of those complexities, regardless of how ethical it is, in theory or in practice. And we should strive to be intellectually honest enough to recognize when our preferred ideology falls too far short of capturing enough of our human complexity to be viable. But still, that means the solution is a better ideology, not necessarily ideological plurality.
We do not negotiate with terrorists. Full stop.
One’s a Nazi and the other a neoliberal, how could they ever work together???
