<773ab1f1> I believe we need to find cracks in their cultural hegemony. This is where their true power lies. Politically they will sink themselves. You can see why the republicans are sitting back and doing basically nothing. Their enemy is making a HUGE unforced error. The morality of letting your constituents get their life ruined because you want to seize power is shaky at best.
<773ab1f1> The real question is, what are they going to do when they win? Will they take that as a directive from the electorate and actually clamp down? I hope and suspect that they will, they will have little opposition.
<773ab1f1> Question is, what kind of appetite will they have?
<773ab1f1> The main critique I have of these radicals poltically, is its difficult to tell where their sympathies lay. Its one thing to have a bleeding heart from migrant farm workers doing 80 hours a week with broken backs. I may not agree with your politics, but I agree with your morality. Its a complete other thing to want communism/socialism/anarchy just for communism’s sake.
<773ab1f1> ^^^ Of course this excludes any and all violent rioters. They have ceded the moral high ground
<8f79fcda> Yeah, the activists across the board have unionized – vertical and horizontal acquisition of morally justifiable positions
<8f79fcda> And turned it into a hydra/leviathan
