It pays to be civil, when fighting the Culture War

Many of those fighting in the Culture Wars have no doubt seen first hand how people have been insulted and verbally attacked left and right. It is is easy to use words such as “racist”, “bigot” and “Nazi”, or “degenerate”, “cuck”, etc -(I am not completely innocent of it myself). While in many instances such words describe the target population perfectly, it does not really serve anyone to resort to such low-level tactics in the long term.

The primary motivation for all people should be to make the world a better place. The Islamists see it as battling the morally bankrupt and feminized Western Civilization, while the leftists see it as fighting hate and injustice. People on the right on the other hand are fighting for a meritocratic society, and the preservation of high civilizations and advanced cultures.

Unfortunately a lot of people fail to understand the other side – they may be blinded with religious dogmas or indoctrination and as such are extremely difficult to reason with. The only way – at least the only way I can think of – is to provide alternative experiences for ones ideological enemies. It is highly unlikely that ANTIFAs beating women, children and old men will ever evolve past violence and foul language, but those on the right should grasp the idea. The driving force should be to fight for quality instead of equality, and what would be better to give the leftists a hint of what quality means – once they get a taste of it, they will want more. Obviously this will not work with Islamists, but we only need to deal with the leftists, and the Islamists will lose their support and can be easily dealt with.

It is important to keep in mind, that everyone should always take care of himself/herself first; Work out, read books, educate yourself, stop indulging in degenerate behavior (drinking, smoking, fapping, watching TV/Playing computer games 24/7, playing the victim, etc). Get the act together, be confident, and do what you are good at. No-one is going to take someone seriously who can’t even get his/her own life in order. I am not saying that my readers are guilty of any of this, but it needs to be pointed out nevertheless.

The second step should be to determine the political leaning of any interesting people you meet for more than a few minutes. Once you have identified a remotely intelligent leftist, be nice to them, try to listen to them, try to find common points in the leftist worldview you both disagree with, be willing to accept faults in the various right-wing ideas, or at least be able to agree to disagree. Try to motivate the person to improve himself. If done correctly, the person will now have a positive experience of a right-wing person – not only some random person, but someone who has actually his act together. Basically he or she will now have a minor role model who happens to be on the opposite side of the political spectrum, or at the very least has an experience that says that not all right-wing people are evil. If said person has more encounters with polite and successful right-wing people, then he might just realize his/her errors and take the red pill.

Successful and morally superior people should always be willing to help others improve their lives. This is achieved by pointing out their shortcomings and providing (educated) advice how to fix it. Whether the people act on it or not, is their own concern, not yours. The same holds true if they are offended. Indeed, if they are offended, then I see no problem triggering them with science and facts… or by wearing some great shirts by Culture Wars, such as this one available at Amazon:

While I find it is unproductive to insult and offend individual people (admittedly many people are offended by everything nowadays so it is not completely avoidable), I don’t see a major problem attacking and exposing various ideologies and cultures which are promoting or engaged in degenerate and/or harmful practices. We are not fighting individual people, rather the culture producing those people, hence the name; Culture Wars.

Sort:  

That's quiet a lot to assimilate.
I believe.....I'll go work on the boat.

Well at least you can't be accused of drinking, smoking, fapping, watching TV/Playing computer games 24/7!

the visual will remain with me forever...the horror..the horror..

I agree with you in theory. Logically, you are not going to win the hearts and minds of people by pissing them off.

On the other hand, if you've ever tried to have a reasonable conversation with a leftist, even an intelligent one, you often find that they are so brainwashed with typical leftist dogma, that it is nearly impossible keep it civil. As someone on the right that feels very strongly about fairness and meritocracy over some sort of forced equality (which I consider communism), I find it difficult to deal with the rage and accusations from the person on the left at the mere suggestion of the principals that this country was founded on are the cornerstone of liberty.

Once the leftist becomes triggered (which happens very easily), conversation is impossible. Leftist, in my opinion, are people who are brainwashed and completely emotion driven, while people on the right tend to be more oriented towards logic and critical thinking. This is by and large that you do not see hordes of people on the right acting like crazed animals in the street assaulting people and vandalizing their property.

As much as it pains me to say it, there may be no peaceful solution and people with hardcore immutable leftist ideologies that are repeatedly willing to use violence to force it on everyone else, may just need to be wiped out. At some point it become us or them, like with islam... and I'm definitely going to choose US.

I assume it makes a lot of difference if the leftist is in his 20's or 30's. I have had a fair deal of success talking and discussing politics with leftists and even commies. But... they were at least somewhat intelligent and educated. Also older than 25-26. Also, I set up myself in a position where I had a bit of authority over them.
