It's not about political correctness. If you want to be taken seriously, then please take me seriously: I sincerely believe that the culture of 8Chan, KF, etc, is completely self-defeating. I sincerely believe that politeness, order, harmony, and niceness are the weapons of conservatism and civilisation... I sincerely believe that the only way to be "based" is to be polite, to not swear, to dress nicely, to act nicely in public. In the case of this webforum, I sincerely believe the only way that conservatives will ever make headway is by demonstrating that we can be polite in promoting our ideals.
I don't even disagree with you here...Hell Channers themselves would probably concede this point. The fact that they routinely obtain data and intelligence the global IC can't until months after they do and yet have failed to influence anything on any level beyond juvenile pop cultural nonsense can leave no doubt about this.
I'm not defending chan culture either. Merely pointing out, those of us over 30, who were shall we say politically aware two decades ago, should know what happens when you try to force civility..As opposed to simply showing the edge lord, you can still have an honest to god debate as men or women by being respectful without it being inherently false.
Or "We should be leading by example, not be enforcement"
If that makes sense?
The conservatives making headway by being polite...Reagan understood conservatives needed to be polite but provocative and to not be afraid to play dirty when its needed..I agree that you're correct in one point..but without the other two...you're missing a sizable portion of the cultural shift formula..
