It does make sense in the sense that one doesn't need to hate Jewish or blacks or Hispanics or Asians to assert their rightwing and libertarian values. The alt-right stops being right when the self-righteous crap about who and what makes a "true American" begins. Irish and Italians entered the US being the poorest of the poor. For hated and un-American they were considered, their descendants are now judges, engineers, doctors, lawyers, as American as it gets.Cornfed wrote: ↑May 27th, 2018, 7:13 pmIt really doesn’t make sense to call anyone after 1945 a nazi, neo or otherwise. The movement that may have satirically referred to themselves as nazis in some cases is using humour to appeal to the kids. What we are dealing with is a resurgence of sanity undoing the evil emanating from the Enlightenment and its downstream consequences. Of course if its proponents are going to rely on begging the establishment’s permission to take power they will get nowhere. They will have to take power at gunpoint, just like always.publicduende wrote: ↑May 27th, 2018, 6:51 pmI don't think the resurgence of good moral values has anything to do with the neo-nazi sub-culture and associated websites. I think kids who have had a taste of what it means to live in a dysfunctional family with divorced parents are starting to feel repulsed by the very life choices that defined their parents' generation.
I do agree with you on the fact that maybe, just maybe, common sense is getting popular again.
Too bad this generation and millennials in general yield very little political and financial power and, according to projections, is doomed to remain irrelevant compared to ours (late 30-40s), let alone the baby boomers.
Common sense isn't predicated on exclusion. Ever.
