The man who unites everyone against him regardless of race, sex, place of birth, political spectrum
That's what you think. But in reality, what I do is
clarify the political spectrum that was already here but hidden under layers of confusion.
There is no such thing as reactance and people moving toward the more radical beliefs because someone told them that they are not politically ethical.
Why ? Because if it was the case, this would mean that your political beliefs are determined by the level of denigration of people who don't think like you against you. Which is a nonsense.
In reality, when someone says "you made people go far right just because you were mean to them" they twist a real observation that is really "those people already were far right but were hidden and now are highlighted".
When people are radicalized, it's because of structural phenomenon and external events, not because they are called out for toxicity. A good example of that is the radicalization of jewish liberals after october 7th toward racist and colonialist pro genocide rethorics. In those case, the trauma created a radicalization.
In reality, I'm only highlighting the REAL political inclination of people here.
People who think they are leftist when they are really just liberals and confused, people who think they are progressist when they are spreading hatefull rethorics, people thinking that they are simple rightists when they are aleady radicalized toward pro fascistic ideas etc.
Admitted he knows little about U.S History: scolds people about US history because he assumes it doesn't fit his moral compass.
Someone explains what liberalism and it's different forms mean by definition: dismisses all of it because it doesn't fit his version of liberalism.
Someone explains how equality and freedom are left wing Ideals from its historical inception: reject it because he personally doesn't like it.
And he acts shocked that nobody wants to listen to him lol
See guys, this is an example of what I'm explaining.
It's not me here who pushed Van to have the same rethoric as people supporting politics like Macron or Harris or Hollande (for those who know him), but my interaction with him allowed me to highlight his way of creating confusion and lie.
For example here, he is trying to twist reality and making it as if me questionning his notion of liberalism or leftism is due to me not liking the definition but in reality it's me simply following the political and sociological research of scientist in social studies..
Van might have a few knowledge (that I do respect) in some fields. But this knowledge and - I think, his sociology - creates big blind spot in sociological fields. Which creates an overconfidence and a lack of general political awereness. Especially concerning materialism and activism.
