PetraCore posted:There's also the fact that the USA's overton window is hosed up so people that are 'liberal' here are 'conservative' elsewhere. What some people don't get is that conservative in the USA means you've gotta be hardcore Into Some poo poo, otherwise you'd just be a centrist. Liberal and conservative aren't even opposites. They're on different axes. Conservatives prefer to maintain the status-quo. Liberals favour policies tending toward free-market capitalism. If the current governmental framework is liberal then liberals are conservatives.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:About twenty billion years ago in an old iteration of this thread, there was an american being extremely hostile to a british republican (not irish, british, the republican specifically wanted lizzy 2 to not be monarch of the Paedophisles or the former colonies) because of Trump and friends ruining the word "republican." Like you couldn't be a republican anymore without endorsing fascism. Those were the loving days. In Germany, the party called Republicans is an actual nazi party, so when I learned that a major US party shared that name, I asked my parents why the US was run by nazis. They explained to me that the US Republicans are just their conservative party and the name is a coincidence. Over two decades later, we're not so sure anymore.

Forgive me if this question is naive or stupid. But this comes from the Stephan Molyneux getting kicked off Youtube thing from a page or two ago. How do people like him, (Laura Loomer, the short small faced bloke, the bald creepy guy pretending to drink scotch etc.), actually make enough money to pay rent and buy food etc? I have heard of 'the conservative grift', but how does it work? Do you write "I hate poofs and muslims, and the jew is using the black as muscle against you. Also Donald trump is a sensual dynamo." on twitter, and then like minded people give you money? Or do you say that fine upstanding and in no way hosed up statement on a youtube channel, adding "please like and subscribe, it'll own the libs", and then people give you money? Do these videos get enough views so the advertisers pay enough so the people get a living wage? Do they write, (and sell), books about how much they hate the LGBTQ people and browns or how women and liberals are ruining this once fine land etc. to earn their crust? Coz if they do, I don't see them in bookshops. Is the public speaking circuit lucrative enough to pay them what they need to live? Also is it big enough that it can afford to hire relative nobodies like Loomer to fly around the country speaking to enough people to be worth it? I guess what I am saying in my beep boop way is: I can see the ways that they might grift, but none of them seem big enough to be financially viable. Apart from getting a job as a Fox News guest/pundit I suppose. But even then, surely teh network would get bored of you after a while and move on to the next big alt-right thing. edit: on the German political party the Republicans thing - In Australia our Right Wing party are called The Liberals.

The Koch Brothers and other rich fucks give them cushy think-tank jobs, have their astroterfs give them speaking fees, and yes, meemaw and pawpaw blowing $90 on a nootropic that claims to make you immune to Islamic 5G Most of them eventually become too obvious or say the quiet part too loud and end up too hot.

The key, apparently, is to watch one of a YouTuber's videos, think they did a good job, message them to tell them that they did a good job..and this is key...have them, at that exact moment, clear out all of their notifications so that yours is the only one that pops up. 4 years later, and we're very happy.

Apart from getting a job as a Fox News guest/pundit I suppose. But even then, surely teh network would get bored of you after a while and move on to the next big alt-right thing. The answer is that con games are rarely financially viable in the long run, so trying to parse out how Loomer pays her bills with what she does is pointless. The answer is she probably doesn't, and lives on credit which will come back and bite her at some point in the future like it did Milo. People call it a conservative grift machine, but it's really graft. Conservatives built a feeder network of think tanks, political action groups, media outlets, pundits, and other flunkies that are all ultimately funded by a couple rich fucks like the Kochs in order to push social and political policy. You want to make money as a conservative pundit, then you want to be in on one of those networks because they're being funded straight-forwardly from above. But even then, because these networks do partake in grifting and thus attract grifters at ever level, you'll still end up with people like the president of the NRA who was sitting on a pretty sweet gig and ruined it by stealing too much from the organization. They just can't loving help themselves.

yeah most of the grifters limp along until they crash and their audience vanishes, or they manage to climb the ladder into an actual paid gig somewhere for a think tank or propaganda outlet loomer never had a chance. she relied on her emotional instability as a substitute for talent, same as baked alaska, mike cernovich, and many others diamond and silk managed to get paid contributor gigs on fox news until they got booted out for dipping into the conspiracy theory well too many times. they are uniquely positioned as black middle class christians though, who are rare on the grift scene jordan peterson and stephen molyneux are similar in that they are mentally competent enough to play the game, but not cognizant enough of how to get into a solid grift job and so they'll eventually be felled for one reason or another, whether it is substance abuse or terminal genericness charlie kirk is probably the most successful grifter as he jumped nearly directly into running his own org, even if it does suffer blows from funding withdrawl and diaper rash sometimes there wolf posted:People call it a conservative grift machine, but it's really graft.

Anybody calling themselves a Liberal here are, at the very least, centre-right and we have some really right leaning ones. Populars are rightwingers. Socialists are not socialists, in that they started out as that, but shifted positions in the 80's and oficially stopped following socialist doctrines. They currently are moderate-euro leftwingers. And Republicans (want the king out) tend to be left to hard-left. I had a bit of a funny conversation with a friend who was born in former Yugoslavia, about how our socialists currently do not have much to do with what she thinks of as socialists.

Don't forget that a lot of these grifters come from money too. Smol ben for example. Also, it's not like the democrats aren't correctly known as liberal. It's just that the US overton window is shifted far to the right so americans reflexively call everything left of the american centre "liberal". Liberal=marxist to a lot of us.
