Vaccine mandates and RFK junior Biden tried to push trough (and partly succeeded) various vaccine mandates not respecting americans wanting to make their own choices, Trump on the other hand wanted people to be able to decide those things for themselves. Later RFK junior announced that he was...

He has gotten more and more media infrastructure on his side While old media has for the most part been hostile towards Trump a lot of media that people have gradually shifted towards has been a lot more positive. Fox news were kinda forced to largely support Trump due to their viewers...

Appealing to stupid people Generally dumb people can relate a lot better to other dumb people while intelligent people are disliked by the masses unless they hide their intelligence. Trump said what people wanted to hear and focused his campaign on what people actually wanted even if it was...

Being an outlet for men fed up with the establishment A lot of men are noticing how the establishment are hostile towards them and trump is a guy they can relate to and support in a fuck you to liberal feminism. Of course republicans in general are very much anti-male but they are hiding it...

Trump has gotten more votes for each new election The more people have seen of Trump the more they have liked him it seems, more and more people has joined up to vote for him. 2016: 62 984 828 votes 2020: 74 223 975 votes 2024: 77 303 573 votes

A lot of people struggle to explain why Trump is popular but to me there are obvious explanations. Trump signals to people that he will ignore norms in order to deliver results, here his past as a business man really helps sell that. Voters think that he will fix things by being willing to do...

Basically there are 2 problems currently with medical transition. 0. Massive anti-trans movement (has become worse over time). 1. Fertility. Dragmaxxing is perhaps more in line with current political ideology as long as you accept your status as a second class citizen "male".

Fairy stockfish test 100 million nodes/move No straight forward win/draw for either player (not even close): b5c5 c8c7 e2e3 h3g3 a6b6 c7b6 c5b6 d7d6 a5a7 f5e5 b4c6 d8c8 a2b4 e8d7 f1f2 g3f2 e3f2 g5f3 d2f3 g4f3 b1d2 g6g2 d2f1 e7f5 f1e3 g2h2 c2b1 h6g5 b3a2 g5f4 c6a5 g8e7 e3f5 f6f5 c1f4 f5f4 a4d7...

Private media and echo chambers Instead of looking out for what's best for society private media will focus on pushing ideology or making money. And increasingly people get stuck inside echo-chambers where they only see views that conform to their incorrect opinions. People watch news that...

Blutopia goes down in flames I did notice that there was a lot of enthusiasm for that site earlier on 4chan but after they made it relatively easy to join all that entusiasm disappeared, perhaps it becoming less exclusive also made it less desirable to join in the first place? But then they had...

That wasn't because of vaccine mandates. It was the omicron variant that did it for us mostly (gave most of the unvaccinated natural immunity if they hadn't already). Plenty of countries didn't mandate vaccines and it was the same story there. So sars-cov-2 probably isn't the best argument for...

Sars-cov-2 vs liberalism One challenge for liberal systems is how to deal with problems that are more collective in nature. In the case of sars-cov-2 some countries contained the spread relying on very draconian measures such as lockdowns and this causes a lot of debate in western liberal...

'liberal' democracy and rights Often in 'liberal' democracy attempts are made to limit the scope of what the government is allowed to do but that cannot really be enforced. O Fundamentally you need the voters themselves to respect the rights of others but as we have seen that tends to not...

Both ideologies have the same roots. Both promote liberalism (with limitations) and feminism. But young males tend to be stupid (not that other groups are much smarter if smarter at all) so they still support people like Trump because of optics. Trump comes off as someone very much opposed to...

Trans rights post liberalism Instead of framing transitioning merely as something people have the right to do we need to argue for it based on benefits for the individuals pursuing it and benefits to society as a whole. You can for example justify allowing MtF transitions with "we have an...

Failing to fulfill human needs While many liberal democracies do fine in terms of getting decent GDP figures (mainly thanks to capitalism) they tend to utterly fail when it comes to actually meeting the real biological desires people have...

Societal survival of the fittest A great example of liberalism not working out too great is the Ukrainian effort to defend themselves against russian aggression, despite putins military being hilariously corrupt ukraine has struggled a lot and has as of late gradually lost more and more land...

"my body, my choice" This used to be the norm (except for people viewed as mentally ill) but it was quickly abandoned during covid-19 in most so called liberal countries in order to try to force people to get vaccinated. Then the same people who were in favor of vaccine mandates got upset when...

Over the years it has been increasingly clear to me that liberalism in general (not just specific forms of it) is doomed. I used to assume that other people could be trusted to make important decisions but increasingly it's clear that it simply isn't like that. Sure if people in general were...

They still did the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact which hitler broke further illustrating how he couldn't be trusted. We do see something similar now with russia where nobody in the right mind trust them to uphold any peace agreement after they flagrantly violated past ones. Still there are plenty of...
