How far-Right are you? If you’re even vestigially uncomfortable with the ongoing, tech-powered liquefaction of everything, in the name of commerce — if you show the slightest sign of questioning its self-evident moral goodness — then you’re already “aligned with the far-Right”.

Most people dubbed with the “far-Right” contagion don’t, in fact, hold those views. But if you’re even vestigially uncomfortable with the ongoing, tech-powered liquefaction of everything, in the name of commerce — if you show the slightest sign of questioning its self-evident moral goodness — then you’re already “aligned with the far-Right”. It’s just a question of degree.

The function of the great game of Progressive Contagion is making every possible counter-argument to the onward march of tech-enabled commerce intolerably low-status and radioactive. As such, the whole argument about whether or not gender-critical feminists are “aligned with the far-Right” is happening within a space that is already defined, by Progressive Contagion, as “the far-Right”.

    They wouldn't despise MLK. He was a piece of shit woke progressive.

    He made one quote that conservatives love to take out of context as if they understand what he is even talking about. When MLK talks about not having his children judged by the color of their skin, HE IS TALKING ABOUT GETTING AFFIRMATIVE ACTION and ANTIWHITE DISCRIMINATION.

    Conservatives are so clueless that they actually think MLK was some sort of anti woke hero, when he is the very embodiment of wokeness. MLK is all about "social justice" and getting better conditions for BLACK people. He is not a colorblind cuckservative.

    MLK was a liberal who believed in equality. He didn't say it but he clearly meant equality of opportunity. Today's far left believe in equality of outcome. Enforced at the point of a gun, if necessary.

    No, he supported affirmative action and equality of outcome. Cuckservatives interpret his words "dont judge based on color of skin" from THEIR OWN PERSPECTIVE which is equality of opportunity, but woke social justice warriors like MLK see affirmative action and equality of outcome as "dont judge based on color of skin".

    Start actually reading what he talked about instead of simply reading one sentence and interpret it from your own perspective.

    He didn't argue for "equal opportunity" but equity.

    Ok, show us the receipts, then. I'm not gonna watch some back and forth bullshit. Show us what he said and where.

    MLK wasn't colorblind. His understanding of equality is that of the woke mindset. He wanted black representation, specifically black representation.

    He wanted more black actors in movies etc. Does that sound like colorblindness to you? No

    This is a point that the left cannot seem to differentiate from, or that they intentionally don't address. It's painful to watch people with common sense debate the left on television by explaining the obvious flaws of equality of outcome, only for the woke left to act as if anything but equality of outcome is racist.

    It's the dialectic. This video does a good job of laying out what that means, and why the left is always pulling shit like that: https://newdiscourses.com/2022/09/understanding-dialectic/

    Anything the left / far left / sjw claims you are, is projection and most likely are they themselves, guilty of it.

        The point of this post is that they are extremely fast to name you as "far right" the moment you question anything. Here's an excellent example, by a man who describes himself as "to the left of Lenin". The moment he thought he should do something because someone's dog got beaten to death, he was suddenly far right. The comments are worth reading, too.

          LOL Democrats are right-wing. That's hilarious. Let me guess, anyone to the right of Mao Zedong is a fascist to you, right? LOLOLOLOL

          The Republicans aren't much better, for the last four decades they have been RINOs, Republicans In Name Only and do not represent the people.

          1. According to Declaration of Geneva which was adopted by the General Assembly of the World Medical Association in 1948, Doctors have agreed: "As member of the medical profession I will not use my medical knowledge to violate human rights and civil liberties, even under threat".
          2. The right to suicide has been established through a case law in the European Court of Human Rights: "The Court considers that an individual's right to decide by what means and at what point his or her life will end, provided he or she is capable of freely reaching a decision on this question and acting in consequence, is one of the aspects of the right to respect for private life within the meaning of Article 8 of the Convention". (Haas vs Switzerland, paragraph 51) HAAS v. SWITZERLAND [2011] ECHR 2422 (20 January 2011) 3.Therefore, if you are able to prove that the decision to commit suicide is based on a rational decision, you qualify for this provision, and any doctor or organisation that deprives you of liberty, violates human rights, and you are able to report them to the medical council or health ministry. -The rational suicide criteria, according to Siegel (1986): [(1) the individual possesses a realistic assessment of his (or her) situation, (2) the mental processes leading to his (or her) decision to commit suicide are unimpaired by psychological illness or severe emotional distress, and (3) the motivational basis of his (or her) decision would be understandable to the majority of uninvolved observers from his (or her) community or social group] (p. 407).
