Most likely actually a SocDem rather than a DemSoc.

Eh, fuck it.
After spending the better part of a day dumpster-diving through the worst MAGA shit I could find, I finally started wondering why I was doing any of this.
I mean, shit, it’s not like whatever I can throw at you is likely to convince you that actually, you’re wrong and I’m right; any more than than your (IMO unimpressive) examples actually convinced me that I’m wrong and you’re right. All I’ll succeed at is wasting both our time, probably irritating you with my unwillingness to cede any ground in the face of what you consider to be indisputable evidence, and further disgruntling me with continued exposure to anti-woke talking points.
So whatever; you win, I guess. Congratulations on your argumentative stamina. Feel free to get in the last words at your leisure.

Your alternative reality sounds nice.

He’s certainly the elected official his constituents (and the country writ large) deserves, I’ll give him that much.

And I’m quite comfortable calling the MAGA movement that only supports so-called “Real Americans”, and wants the overwhelming majority of the people who actually live in America (whether the dirty, filthy immigrants, the city “vermin” and “filth”, the leftist “Unhumans” that need to be put up against the wall and machine-gunned, or just generally any of the “Satanic” folk who voted against Trump) to go fuck themselves and leave “““their””” country an identitarian movement.
And a particularly noxious one, at that.
That’s a good question; after all, I suspect that litigating over how equivalent the prominence/importance/impact/etc. the two ‘institutions’ are will probably be an inevitable feature of this little race to the bottom.
I’ll leave that up to @ArjinFerman’s discretion.
the kind of racist screeds… that routinely get published by progressive institutions.
Give me the worst such screed you can find, and I guarantee you that I can give you a MAGA screed that’s just as bad, if not worse.

Using those specific words, probably.
Phrasing it instead as “putting them in the positions they deserve, and clearing out all those unqualified affirmative action hires who got inappropriately appointed to those positions instead of a deserving, meritorious applicant like themselves”, and that will get an enthusiastic approval.

…both on the ineffectualness of decorum-conservatives and that these sentiments have been coming from the Left for my entire adult life if not before (the Left in Britain played 'Ding, dong, the Witch is Dead' to mark the death of Britain's first female PM). The left will recognise the importance of decorum only once it becomes clear how indecorum has worked out for them. The war such as it is has been going on since 2014.
I’m sure you believe that.
I doubt very much that the American Left will be crushing anyone for the next ten years
Agree more-or-less-completely, both for ‘logical’ reasons and for more fundamentally emotionally-pessimistic ones,
even with the bullet box in play as it already indisputably is
This I do, in fact, dispute! Years of Lead may very well be in our future, but (for now) the fears of -and some calls for- the bullet box has dramatically outstripped its actual presence. That could very well change, though.

It’s a “““joke””” trying to imply that universities are nothing more than Hamas recruiting grounds

The main difference between left-wing identitarians and right-wing identitarians so far is that left-wing identitarians mostly control their political coalition (the Democratic Party) while right-wing identitarians remain at the fringes
I echo @Chrisprattalpharaptr’s half-bemused, half-despairing incredulity at the fact that you apparently genuinely think that MAGA isn’t an identitarian movement.
‘Remove the log from your own eye’, indeed.

There’s a lot of truth there, historically;
“The penetrated” are practically always Gay™;
“The penetrators” can often get a lot more leeway than a strict gender/sex binarist might expect.
The feeling’s now pretty mutual from the left too, in no small part due to not-so-veiled declarations of war like this one
My only hope is that y’all can be crushed at the ballot & soap boxes first, before the full consequences of this deranged White Terror can be realized… and before the bullet box ends up coming into play.

Discussing the culture wars is not the same as waging them.
I am increasingly convinced that this distinction is, in practice, typically illusory.
In the specific case of The Motte, where the vast majority of ‘discussing the culture war’ posts in the main thread are about the latest outrage by the degenerate liberals, and most discussion is about how things are swimming leftwards towards Cthulhu, the distinction is without a difference.
@Amadan, I’d appreciate it if you did the both of us a favor and permabanned me while this moment of clarity lasts.
Ought to make your lives easier having one less triggered leftist around accumulating reports, and maybe it’ll be the kick in the pants I need to finally get me off this site.
It’s clear to me now that the time for talking is over, and that there can be no further productive use for sticking around and trying to bridge the ever-widening divide in realities between “woke” America and “antiwoke” America.
Not here, anyways.
