I do.
It is a fallacious thinking to believe that liberalism cannot be related to conservatism. Both have the same basic value system:
- Freedom of the individual
- Strong private economy
- Meritocracy
In reality, liberalism is just the basic for all the rightist basic value systems starting with progressive liberalism through libertarianism to conservatism.
It is a right wing vs left wing problem.
The problem is that the left wing wants society to evolve in every fields and the right wing does everything in its power to stop that. Worse, it want it sometimes to regress.
Simple as that.
They are indeed. Reason why our first ennemy on the left are progressive liberals (that are just simple liberals at the end of the day)
What did you meant ?
Trump is a racist.
The video is a bunch of BS altright fallacious rethoric:
- First its equates leftism with liberals. First miss.
- Second its explain that "everybody loved Donald Trump before and are now hating him". No, not everybody loved Donald Trump before. He was pretty hated before that.
- Third, showing up in ONE footage of ONE meeting and praising yourself for policies of inclusivity you probably didn't approved yourself about minorities doesn't mean you are not racist. It means that you know how to communicate.
- Fourth, it denies completely the existence of the actual dogwhistle to white supremacists and white nationalists.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_views_of_Donald_Trump
- The creator asks (in short) "how do you go from being praised to the biggest racist". Well the answer is simple : you didn't transform, you were always that way. The orange pumpkin didn't magically changed, it just revealed himself as he always was. A racist, a biggot, a conspirationnist, an alt right antiscience lyer, a sexual abuser etc.
- "it so ... obvious"... yeah.. not to this guy apparantly. When someone is this problematic and you still tries to defend him, it tells you more about yourself than those who try to fight him.
- Then the guy literally take ONE article of a sub news outlet over analysing a gesture of Trump and tries to make it look like its the entire leftist propaganda.. and he talks about intellectual lazyness ? Lmao...
- Then he says "they doesn't show Donald Trump as being human"... well my guy... we could also show a clip of Hitler being simply "human" and it wouldn't negate all the atrocious thing he did. I'm volontaraly making a godwin point here so you get the point.
- "Donald Trump isn't a fascist" No he is not, but he is enabling them to come to the light
- "Donald Trump isn't anti immigrant, he is anti illegal immigrant".. Einstein, that's the SAME F*CKING thing.
- "Donald Trump isn't pro white nationalist" ... Yes he is, he literally using dogwhistle to appeal to those voters and refuse to condamn them. And no he didn't made it clear to comdamn racism and bigotry during his carrier. He just appeared in a few place praising himself for policies he didn't create
This video is like the entierity of the alt right/right wing propaganda trying to justify their horrible policies and values system by trying to appear more human (by badly appropriating left wings progressive fight such as antiacism and anti bigotry):
Pure BS.
