the fall of the center right and why you should be glad

and people are waking up to this, tossing the greens, and embracing rights and nationalist ideas rather than be eaten by pseudoscience cults and globalists.

pretending to play at “centrism” while getting played like a $4 banjo by radical groups making extreme demands because “we should compromise” is not a path to success when your opposition excels at weaponizing empathy and trait empathization, rigging systems, and making up lysenko level “science” to justify ideology and to gin up pretext for power grabs. it’s the road to repeated rookings.

past a point, you simply cannot compromise with people. compromise presumes reasonableness, and that’s a very expensive assumption about unreasonable people.

they will not respond by seeking to work with you or understand you. they will just keep surging to ever greater extremes so that “splitting the difference” keeps sliding ever in their direction. this is the original “give them an inch and they’ll take you a mile” gang.

Some of these things I still miss

I grew up without safe spaces.
I grew up without trigger warnings.
I drank water from the hose.
I ate peanuts in class.
None of us wore a helmet.
Kids got hurt. We fell down. And we signed a lot of casts.

We couldn’t pause TV. We’d call out “It’s on!” as soon as the commercials started to end (for those who had left the room). And we watched our favourite shows as a family.

There was no next day delivery.
There was no bundle this with that.
There was no internet. Skip the Dishes didn’t exist.
Fast food was not the norm. It was easier to eat healthy. There were home phones. There was VH.........
