@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen Imagine a horse with two legs. Doesn’t mean that four legs are what makes a horse a horse. That’s a parts-to-whole fallacy.
@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen That’s a different argument than the one you put forth though.
@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen Possibly. My right wing social values will never change because the #Bible does, but I care most about the Y-axis on the #PoliticalCompass. Can’t get down with #Libertarianism because that’s too extreme for me, unfortunately
@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen Examining political spheres of thought, I’ve been wondering if I’m not closer to #ConservativeLiberalism than #Conservatism itself.
@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen
> Conservatism is a philosophy
Fair enough; Conservatism is pretty broad so it can be as libertarian as it can be fascist.
I care too much about supporting small government and principles over people to want to associate too closely with the modern right, who I feel is increasingly okay with authoritarianism (look at their support of #DeSantis for example)
> We are realists, the Left are anti-realists.
That’s kind of a childish way to view things.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen I guess we’ll see. It’s very possible that it’s a free speech community and they won’t ban him, which is fine. He doesn’t need to be banned.
> > Conservatives will ally with racists and fascists before they compromise with a lib.
Part of me wonders if I’m even a #Conservative anymore. I hate big government and a lot of them don’t, and the #MAGA people are pretty embarrassing to boot.
> Funny how you’re more charitable to this white supremicist’s views than you are for anyone to your left.
This is an interesting take. You must not know me very well.
Have you seen my political commentary blacklist of bad faith actors? It’s mostly people on the right.

Which convo was this?
@cunt @LookBehindYouNowAndThen the username checks out
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen Report it to the mods. I’m on #Mastodon and I think he’s on #Pleroma, so there’s nothing I can do.
But I’m a freedom of speech homie so I wouldn’t complain about it too much; if the speech offends you, you should be able to block or mute him yourself on your end.
> I don’t make excuses for racists.
I don’t either! I do try to understand them though. They walk among us, after all.
> How the fuck is a “racial separatist” not a racist?
They’re still racist; the difference is that a white supremacist thinks that white people are better than other people, and racial separatists think that all races are equal, but should be segregated from each other.
In any case, his alt right views don’t exactly map to this conversation, so I’ll allow it for now.
If lemmy.world wants to ban him, they probably can, but he’s on annihilation.social, which is a different instance entirely.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen I’m not sure if he’s a supremacist, more likely a racial separatist/“race realist”. Wouldn’t be shocked if he’s racist, but yeah #TheProtocolsOfTheEldersOfZion is quite the deep cut, and his alt-right views are probably the only way he even knows what that is (I only know what that is when I started researching the origins of the #Israel v. #Palestine conflict and it came up as I was skimming #Wikipedia)
> Spoken word is is strong suit.
It was until he fell too hard in his drugs and pretended to be straight for a grift to get a job at some #Catholic network or something. Now nothing is his strong suit.
@truthbait @amerika @glimse I used to like him back in the day. He was a major reason why I ended up on the #Fediverse.
> I socialize with a lot of Leftists. At this point, Right and Left exist in different worlds.
You’d be surprised. #HorseshoeTheory is a thing, but I think there’s also a sort of inverse #HorseshoeTheory where people on the left and right converge on what ordinarily would be centrism or liberalism, but is now considered right wing due to the shifting #OvertonWindow. #Destiny and #BillMaher are two really good examples of this.
@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen I do know about #Egalitarianism because it has influenced some denominations of #Christianity unfortunately
