The conservative's mindset is opposed to organizing.
Oh, yeah. Definitely, and this is why we lose.
"Conservatives" won every debate for 60 years, and still lost every political battle. Why? Nobody on the Left gives a shit about logic or debate - they are about winning, and they win because they are organized.
PERIOD.
I find this entire argument about the hierarchy over how people dodged the jab to be emblematic of why we lose.
There was no organized resistance. Yes, it was repressed by the .gov and ghoulish corporate media, but at the end of the day, there was no organized resistance.
Nobody had any reasonable expectation that anyone else would back their play, so it was every man for himself.
Anyone that got cut down trying to resist was met with, "Wow, that sucks, man...sorry to hear about it. Hope you find a new job. Next time, be debt free."
If there was an organized resistance, that would change things mightily. The Right had better learn this, and really damned quick. As of now, the standard right-of-center NPC waves his flag and waxes on about his principles. He will do so as the body-positive, pink haired, diversity hire loads him onto a boxcar. He will sing about his high ideals, all the way to the train yard. When "they" open the train doors, and the conservative NPC sees the trench and bulldozer, he will hold his head high that he was true to all the debates he had in college about how collectivism will never work.
Perhaps the only hope he has is that flash of regret that, just maybe, he should have given some thought as to outcome, versus process, as he stares down the barrel of that AK with the dead-eyed, 4'-10" Guatemalan behind it. In the last second of his life, he takes value in knowing that he was morally right sticking to his "rugged individualism" and the fact that the Left were the "real racists."
...and with that, his idealism is buried to the sound of a diesel engine pushing the soil he refused to defend, out of principal, over his bloody corpse.
The New America is born.
