“I also think your claims of government interference in Black private wealth building are exaggerated.”
That is the soft part. I’d call it minimizing what is actually happening.
I’ve laid out the evidence across countless posts, so I’m not going to relitigate it here. But don’t soften that piece while owning everything else.
Especially when, in the same argument, you say:
“I don’t want to bomb Iran, or deport anyone, or arrest anyone, ever.”
Own the whole position, including what government power is actually being used to do.
You're misunderstanding. I don't want to kill communists. I want everyone to not choose communism so that no one has to be killed.
The problem is that, in the name of fighting communism, you’ve already said you’re willing to use the state to disrupt voluntary private organizing and capital formation.
They forced my hand. They censored Dead or Alive Xtreme 3.
Yet to fight “communism,” you adopted communism’s group-over-individual logic yourself.
You treated Black organizing as “communism,” even when it was private, voluntary self-help: churches, businesses, scholarships, HBCUs, mutual aid, corporate diversity initiatives, and educational diversity programs.
That wasn’t communism. It was Black people building for themselves.
Collateral damage.
Sounds like your stated worldview becomes
collateral damage
too.
Indeed I have lost all desire to live in harmony with the world. The free market has lost. The Union is shattered. All is death and taxes on this godforsaken rock. 1776 was for naught and my soul existed as nothing but roadkill of an inevitable all-consuming statist cannabalism. The husk that remains seeks only to infect others with the same nihilism to which I've succumbed.
The hardening or softening is circumstancial and depends on a lot of factors, a lot of which are based on your reaction and are within in your control.
Understand the stakes here. We're going to war with Canada because they're a PRC proxy. People with Canadian ancestry like Gavin Newsom supported the corona lockdowns, and we don't want to / can't share a society with those people. Them and others are civilizational enemies of 1776 and we're under no moral or strategic obligation to allow them to occupy our coastlines. But they already do, so we're baiting them into a communist revolution that will give us a pretext to remove them. They've already started it with their rent strikes and other such threats, so whatever happens to them now is their fault for treading.
