The thing is about this post is that it's exactly what I've been thinking. I keep seeing the left wing talking about far right radicalisation and all the oppressive things they need to do to stop it. My thought pattern after that is that's going to radicalise me against them if anything is.
It's not just what they are saying they want to do but the deceptive way they go about it. It's hard to know what is worse, if they really believe what they are saying or are knowingly lying. Either is awful.
When they describe radicalisation you'll realise what they're actually referring to is little more than disagreeing with what they think the best policy is. For example, not supporting open borders. It will be referring to political dissent. The only things in the equation that is radical and extreme will come from them.
Open borders is radical and extreme. So is what is in effect the notion of wanting to crack down on people using the law and legislation who are doing nothing more than reading things freely and freely conversing. When it comes down to it they not only oppose the free flow of information and the free exchange of thought but free thought itself.
Someone on the right, far right or anywhere can tell me anything they like about the left but it's never going to rank higher as a basis for judgement than seeing the left itself in its true form.
The left sees others as a kind of helpless child at the mercy of tricksters that effectively program them. They think people come here then are converted through through some kind of manipulation a bit like hacking people as part of some kind of conspiracy. They don't conceive that it might be instead that people have seen the left and don't like what they saw. That includes all the arguments that work on them and therefore think would work on us.
They don't really have a comprehension of millions of people all independently coming to the same conclusions when exposed to the same data and then seeking each other out.
