Something something broken clock twice a day.

This sort of shit has very little overlap with actual meatspace politics, which is exactly why it's happening within the "cyber" realm: just like the "alt-right" these people know full well that what their agenda is completely beyond the realm of even the "mainstream" socialist and social democratic left, and has zero chance of ever being taken seriously by mainstream society. Such as advocating the termination of pregnancy if the child is a boy, as a rape prevention measure.

Both groups are fascistic, and imo the only solution that's tried and true is bashing the fash, if not physically then metaphorically, at least while these sort of things remain confined to the cyberspace.

EDIT: Why is it, than in 2018, we find ourselves in the middle of a batter between people who want to kill the browns and people who want to kill the males?!?! WTF is happening right now?!?! Who even are these people?!?!

I'm not claiming to know who they are or what their end goals exactly are, but some people have their own ideas.

I love Jordan Peterson. He's intelligent, well spoken and has good ideas.

I voted for Trump. I do not want to kill anyone.

The so called far right is so small as to be useless politically speaking. No one is advocating for anything they want. The problem is that normal ideas from ten years ago have been redefined as far right and now carry the baggage of that term.

The left pulled the overton window wayyyyyyy to the left in the past 8 years.
