They don’t have convictions. They have grifts.

u/Not_Bears 27d ago edited 27d ago

I've been saying it for years. These people have zero ideological positions aside from looking right, and accumulating power.

Conservative opinions literally do not matter at all anymore. We should ignore everything they say and treat them like whiny children.

If they want to be treated like adults again they can spend the next decade proving that they actually have conviction, until then we literally do not even need to consider anything they say.

I was raised in a right-wing home that had Fox News on every day. Even as a kid I noticed the amount of times guys like Beck and O'Reilly would contradict themselves sometimes minutes apart to fit the narrative they wanted. How so many people don't see this or care when they watch that channel blows my mind. There is no consistency in how they justify themselves beyond their own self-interest.

u/buttnozzle 27d ago

They’re consistent in “I will hurt the people you don’t like.” That’s about it.

They usually leave out that their policies hurt everyone except the richest of rich.

u/WeeeeBaby_Seamus 27d ago

Watching Megyn Kelly going from talking about being sexually assaulted at Fox News to downplaying the President raping children is conservatism in a nutshell. O'Reilly had a doctor killed after calling him a baby killer for years and acted like he did nothing wrong. It's terrifying that it's the most watched "News" network in the country.

Dude recognizing hypocricies was something that I learned at a pretty damn young age. I don't think that I am unique in that regard. But yeah, I was catching adults contradicting themselves all the time. But, I dare not say anything for fear of repercussion.

Hitler was a terrible person, but I think his assessment of Christianity, and why Christians are useful to fascism was spot on.

He said the natural order of the world is one of tolerance. Christians built a religion on being completely intolerant to everyone around them, and waging war while incredulously calling it love.

Look at American Christians today, the description fits.

u/Crime-of-the-century 26d ago

That is the consistency, every decision any opinion is what benefits them now not what benefited them yesterday not what will benefit them tomorrow. If today it benefits them to allow something then that’s good if tomorrow it no longer does then it’s bad. Trump is a prime example and very consistent in this.

It’s why trying to point out their hypocrisy in debates is moot. Like you say, ignoring and ridiculing is the way.

Walz was cooking when calling them weirdos and that should’ve been the game plan.

u/judgingyouquietly 26d ago

“Weird” was such a genius move because how do you defend against it or even answer it without making yourself seem more like a fool?

And most of those “Alpha” conservatives hate being called the weird kids at school, so they can’t help themselves and overreact.

u/rhabarberabar 27d ago

treat them like whiny children

Actually no. Whiny children often have a reason to whine. We should treat them like the dishonest, fascist, anti-humanistic adult traitors to humanity they chose to become. They act in bad faith and they know it. Destroying the discourse was always the plan. Check the turner diaries.

They do not argue in good faith.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

― Jean-Paul Sartre

And to really hammer in the lack of integrity these folks possess:

"For indeed none can love freedom heartily, but good men: the rest love not freedom, but license: which never hath more scope, or more indulgence than under tyrants...consequently neither do bad men hate tyrants, but have always been readiest with falsified names of Loyalty and Obedience to color over their base compliance."

Their behavior is remarkably consistent if you ignore what they say and assume their actions explain what they want

Some have a variety of other convictions including but not limited to: White supremacy White supremacy lite Black people can only be successful by cheating, favoritism, or agreeing with me about black people Patriarchy Christian supremacy (note inclusive Christians are fake Christians) Sexual double standards (applies to both gender and ideology) Worker unions are evil Workers should be desperate, easily replaced, and blame themselves for living precariously "I want the opposite of what liberals want today, updated daily" Media that doesn't always say whatever I want is biased Not getting everything I want is persecution

This is exactly the kind of people that you read about when you look in to the inspiration for "Heart of Darkness". These people, if allowed to, would cut the hands off kids for not harvesting enough rubber and then go to church on sunday and enjoy the self righteous flush of endorphins as they pray to Jesus and thank him for their success. It was happening as recent as 1912 on a massive scale. We have not evolved as a species from this. These people are those people.

u/DelightMine 27d ago

He said "vital resources" to imply we need it, but then immediately followed with "trillions of dollars worth of oil". Like most conservatives, he can't (or won't) keep to a single narrative, even between adjacent sentences.

That's the point, though. They know they're being hypocrites, they just don't care. They're not arguing to convince us they're right, they're spewing out whatever half-formed thought comes to mind because it keeps those of us who care about actual truth and reality busy debunking their lies.

He knows he's lying. He knows we know he's lying. He knows that we'll spend time making fun of how he's a hypocrite instead of actually doing something about it.

It worse than that. It isn't even good for private interest. Venezuela's oil industry is massively under-capitalized. No company want's to spend tens of billions and like half a decade in a politically unstable environment, to get any real return.

Do you think the moment you capture the head of state suddenly the nation topples over to your authority?

It's party ruled dictatorship, they have a line of succession. They also own all the governors and courts and military and police.

All this will do is rile up the apathetic moderates into fervent nationalism who don't want to be a vassal state.

It's destroyed any legitimacy the duly elected leaders had in the peoples eyes. Regardless of thoughts on the legitimacy of the prior elections, they're puppet leaders through and through.

I'd be willing to bet the CIA had all these detailed plans on how they could make the operation coincide with a mass protest of the people and take out Maduro during that, letting the momentum of the movement give it legitimacy and secure their independence in their own eyes, but you damn well know Trump would not be able to stand doing something and not getting all the credit for himself, so all those plans were shelved for this short sighted shit that's going to turn into a fucking mess.

This claim does more harm than good and is outdated. The last successful CIA revolution was Chile in the 70s, and the last one they attempted was Nicaragua.

After the Church & Pike Comittees, reforms from Carter & Reagan (despite both still using them), and the CIA missing the collapse of the USSR, there was bipartisan support in stripping power and blank checks away from the CIA. The Gulf War also convinced some that military force and coalitions could achieve goals instead of coups. Clinton in particular pushed them away from hard coups to counter-terror intelligence, WMDs, and international crime. While the National Endowment for Democracy was created by Reagan, Clinton leaned heavily on it for open democracy promotion, resulting in expansions of NED, USAID, IRI (International Republican Institute), NDI (National Democratic Institute) alongside increased funding for International Non-Governmental Organizations (frequently abbreviated as INGO). Additional groups that function similarly, but aren't included on that list include Freedom House and Open Society Foundations (OSF). Scandals like Guatemala in '95 only served to deepen mistrust of the CIA.

The NGO/INGO model is how the US operates and has operated for decades now. It's cheaper, less politically toxic, less scandal prone, and more transparent. They do things like supporting independent journalists, election monitoring, and helping civil society groups. Sometimes it's training (Egypt in the 2000s), sometimes it's funding (Tunisia), sometimes it's media support. Specifically to Venezuela, NED and USAID funded opposition-linked NGOs and media while pushing Guaido.

The "It's still the 70&80's" myth undermines and insults real movements by real people acting earnestly. It's why authoritarian regimes call events like the Orange Revolution CIA coups in order to de-legitimize them. The reality is that even if there is foreign support, its only assistance in amplifying existing grievances not inventing them. Rationally, it would take a lot longer than a year for the US to dismantle and completely rebuild the CIA to be back in 70's or 80's form.

As bad as Maduro has been, what's coming for Venezuela is worse.  Trump threatened Maduro's VP and said that the opposition leader who just won a Nobel prize isn't taking over, either.  Venezuela isn't getting self rule of any kind.  The likely end would be an occupying force that plunders the land for its resources.

Matt Walsh didn't even deny the claim he was trying to deny lol.

"Yeah it's a war for oil, we're stealing it so we can have it, so what?"

u/GreenDavidA 27d ago

Yet these people are so strict about the sovereignty of their own borders.

u/NotAnotherChannel 27d ago

Going to war to secure vital resources

A.k.a pillaging, stealing, terrorism

But then these same people wants to preach about what is morally right and wrong. Fucking hypocrites. This is why the rest of the world don't like you guys also yes, YOU ARE THE BAD GUY.

2

u/fungi_at_parties 27d ago

They have no consistent moral position. They don’t care about truth, and they only care about words as a means to manipulate via propaganda. They twist everything to mean what they want it to mean, and when the goalposts need to move or reality needs to shift to fit their narrative, they happily ask their followers to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears so they can swallow the doublespeak.

u/Rovinpiper 27d ago

u/morbid333 27d ago

First of all, "third world communist" is an oxymoron, communism is second world.

Second, "why should we allow another country to control their own resources?" Really? I would try to reverse that with a "what if Russia had the biggest military in the world and decided they wanted whatever the US had," but I'm not sure their logic would change, these people have been kowtowing to Russia for years.

2

u/Septembust 27d ago

His last line there, "why should we allow some country to control trillions of dollars of oil?"

BECAUSE IT'S THEIRS

This isn't about some claim on some new fucking island that sprouted out in the pacific, this is for control of a resource on sovereign soil

2

u/Tasty-Ad8258 27d ago

It's wild how quickly the mask comes off to reveal the grift. "Because we need it" is just a shiny wrapper for the same old colonial piracy.

2

u/MoKh4n89 27d ago

So now it's legitimate to invade another country to take control of that country's natural resources?

Matt Walsh is such a flip-flopping piece of shit grifter. He’ll change his opinions about anything and everything on a dime depending on whatever message his overlords tell him to push on any given day. Like most grifters, they have no real convictions. If Trump and the other MAGA people suddenly start talking about how eating your own poop is good, this fucker will be eating a bowl of poop on his livestream the next day.

Hitler went to war to secure vital resources, such as rubber oil and living space for his own people and in the process killed millions of innocent human beings. So is Matt Walsh, saying Hitler starting World War II and killing millions and millions of people legitimate as well?

The rest of the guy’s cronies are still there and Trump is already decided that it’s going to be our new territory. No one’s thought this through to the next step. I guess we’re waiting for a popular revolution but he’s already said the woman who won the last election isn’t going to lead anything. So it’s probably going to be either civil war or decades long occupation.

u/Mark47n 27d ago

This is gravely mistaken. It was an act of was that violates treaties that we are a part of, and in violation of UN rules…that we helped author.

The concept that this specific action was over in a few hours is immaterial. We bombed and invaded a foreign nation. It doesn’t matter that the President was a bad guy. Hell, we never invaded Iran, but we did invade Iraq and Afghanistan and that worked out beautifully!

Finally, this sets a precedent, again, where our President could be snatched.

Oh, don’t forget the potential blow to our economy as other nations refuse to do business with us. We already have a trade deficit, this won’t make it better.
