"I don't wanna get political in this video"
Get's mega political and starts using political lingo used by the right wing
Way to go, dude, you played yourself.
I've also seen his temper in his videos plus adding what he said in this video, I am convinced the guy should not be allowed to own a damm BBGun. But he's lucky he doesnt live in a "communist state". Yo what a shitshow.
You can see with these conservative white men when they clearly perceive a threatening universe everywhere they look based on their ideology. It is what directly leads to their irrational bouts of anger and violence, and causes things like....
the same old story over and over again
Rightwing white men afraid of the world and thus ready to project anger and violence at the slightest confirmation of whatever dumb bullshit they believe in isn't a cute look for any community, which is probably why these people tend to feel so isolated in the first place...
Exactly. In a way there IS a "threat" for them, that they will not be anymore at the top of the pyramid, they see it as the "woke, communist, liberals" or whatever trying to subdue them, ironically what they want is to be able to further subdue everyone else.
Also ironic and sad: poor (poor as in not rich) white men were never at the top, they were just as exploited as the rest, the are just made belive they weren't. Of course they enjoy some extra perks, mostly judicial, but they have more in common with a poor black guy than with a millioner and nothing with a billioner
What a world we have. But at the very least is never dull.
"But what about my illegally obtained riches and privileges? My family enslaved people for hundreds of years, I'm nobility, and you're just going to come to my home and take what is not yours? What about MY rights? Don't rock the boat, keep everything the way it's always been, meaning that I can enjoy royal privileges at the expense of other people's suffering, famine, violence, and death. Or are you a filthy COMMUNIST?!"
It's funny. I work with a bunch of righteimg guys a an energy cooperative which is pretty much light communism as it is collectively owned by the consumers without the ability for capital accumulation.
Yeah, I've found some right wingers that are like that; on everyday practical terms they like all that sharing and stuff, but somehow don't connect it to the high-minded political ideals they like to talk about, Like two different topics to them.
They like sharing with the right kind of people.

That was lovely, thank you!
Some portions of the far right are allergic to being called "political". Even outright Nazis often claim to be moderate. Part of the reason they end up having those beliefs is from a profound lack of awareness of self and others. They thus can convince themselves that they are the moderates, and everyone else is extreme
Of course, is easier to maintain your belives if you see yourself as "moderate" or "apolitical". Is easier if you belive your line of toughts are share by a "silent majority" thus making it reasonable and moderate.
Just mental hops to affirm themselves.
Sounds a bit like insecurity to me, they don't see or feel themselves as in the position or capacity to justify what they belive in, so they refuge behind "Is just common sense" or "we are the majority", "is not political", basically a post modern rehash of the naturalistic argument.
Propaganda works as a motherfucker, it did 80 years ago, it did 800 years ago, it did 8000 years ago and it is fucking AI weaponized today.
You want communism? Leave FOX on in your home at all times, you may not turn it off, you can lower the volume somewhat but it's still on as you sleep, and if you disable it the dark men come and enable it again while you're at work, and leave you with a little reminder and write your name in a little black leather bound notebook and tell your neighbors to report any suspicious behavior or they might be next up for a visit.
To someone who has experience, the GOP is Stalinism in disguise. They don't hate communists, they hate that they don't get to be the oppressors. They are 100% the same shit.
