>>373914>The difference between left and right is vagueNo, not really. The Right stands for Tradition and Culture, Blood and Soil, the Nation and the People. I capitalize these words in the German manner to illustrate a certain continuity of thought. The Left stands in opposition to all of these things. The Right believes that the civilization our forefathers created is worth protecting. The Left wants to burn it all down. They usually deny it, though since the Kenyan was placed in office atop an ocean of phony ballots orchestrated by ACORN and a million "urban black churches," they have felt safe saying what they really think more and more. Their intent becomes obvious when you watch what they do and consider the predictable outcomes of their chosen policies. "Intent can be inferred from predictable outcome," says Noam Chomsky, and he'd know.
>>373919>The Right stands for Tradition and Culture, Blood and Soil, the Nation and the People.>I capitalize these words in the German manner to illustrate a certain continuity of thought.That's just the thing, the Third Reich is what people think of when you say "far right", but in actuality it was really center authoritarian. It wasn't particularly conservative or even capitalist. On the economic front, it's strictly left if the United States: It had corporatism entangling industry with the state, public healthcare, heavy regulation, various public social programs and educational programs, etc. On the cultural side, it was as progressive as it was conservative: it didn't just want to preserve German traditions, but make new ones. Also, a lot of third Reich ideology was inspired by the American eugenics movement, which in and of itself was part of the American Progressive movement in the 1920s alongside other science-led positivist progressive ideologies of the time.
And yet people call them "far right" because they were mean to Jews, when economically and culturally they were center by any definitive metric.
>>373919>The Right believes that the civilization our forefathers created is worth protecting. The Left wants to burn it all down.See, this is another way the definition of Conservative/Progressive and Right/Left change. Left vs Right have their roots in the French Revolution, where the left wanted to tear down old hierarchies while the right wanted to preserve them. Thing is, since then, the status quo of western civilization has changed, because the dominant ideology to emerge after the French revolution was Classical Liberalism, and more recently it's been neo liberalism. Conservatism as a concept emerged in response to liberalism, but when conservatives want to conserve something for the past two centuries the thing that they've been conserving is liberalism.
>>373920One of the things the lolbertarians grasp, that is not widely understood, is that the right-left axis is cultural, and it is possible for authoritarianism and totalitarianism to coexist with any point on that continuum. I agree that in 1930 in German, a "rightist" wasn't an NSDAP member, a "rightist" was a monarchist. I don't think the NSDAP would have existed without Weimar Republic (((bankster))) pederasts buying and selling little boys on leashes in the streets of Munich and Berlin, or without (((Spartacist))) and (((Rotfront))) terrorists throwing bombs. The terms of the Versailles treaty made German resentment and a rematch a generation later an inevitability, but without highly visible (((malign foreign influence))) and (((corruption))) it would have taken different forms, I think, and Germany would instead have had some kind of radical authoritarian monarchist movement.
All of that aside, I do agree that the NSDAP wanted to create new traditions, but they were not radically, fundamentally at odds with German culture as it existed, or with human nature.
The Left is always a death-cult of spiteful manchildren. I do not exaggerate for rhetorical effect when I call them insane nihilists. Their fundamental assumptions do not line up with the most basic aspects of human behavior and motivation. "Class consciousness" is as imaginary as Bigfoot. It would require a people who do not grasp that their race is their extended family, who do not exhibit the kin preference that allowed our ancestors to cooperate and survive in a hostile world. I think that in many cases, perhaps most, it stems from sexual abuse. They're angry at Daddy for touching their pee-pee place when they were five, then promising them a pony if they'd keep quiet about it, and then welshing on the deal. This has made them genuinely unable to understand how human beings relate to one another, and left them emotionally stunted toddlers in adult bodies. They want their goddamn pony, and they want it now. And if they can't have the pony, burning down the world is an acceptable consolation prize. They love those beautiful, beautiful flames more than life itself. They talk about "equality" and "justice" and "human rights" but what motivates them is spite and a desire to get even with a vast intangible conspiracy that oppresses them by requiring them to work for a living and not fuck little boys in public. All those dumb townies, who stood by and didn't save them from the nightly cornholing by dear old Dad, they're gonna share in the suffering and the self-hatred. No corner of the world will be spared.
tl;dr the difference between "left" and "right" isn't arbitrary. It's the difference between "cackling methhead who wants to burn your house down because the voices in his head told him you probably deserve it for not funding his meth bender" and "person who doesn't want to see his house in flames." These people are monsters, and it is a mistake to think that it's 1927 and you're in a Norman Rockwell painting of a New England town meeting where people speak their opinions without fear of retribution and attempt to cooperate in good faith to find the truth and work together. They want you dead or in a gulag, and your kids raped by trannies. They think it's hilarious. They can't shut up about it. When people tell you who they are and what they want, you should listen.
