        Said it before and I’ll say it again. Reactionaries see themselves as the absence of politics, not a political idea.

            I hear this all the time and I absolutely hate it. You go to church once a week, go to bible study/cell groups, you follow all the traditionally conservative rules around protestant Christianity. You are part of a religion. Just because you believe you can personally communicate with God and don’t need to go through the priests, it doesn’t change the fact that you are still very much part of a religion.

                that’s some specifically american brainworm tho. it no doubt builds on the anglo anticatholic nonsense, but i dont think brits have this advanced 2.0 version of it.

          Cuz politics, to them, is anything intrusive and obstructive to them, that brings discomfort to power

          Being political is anything that questions the status quo

          Accepting the status quo requires no action and is therefore “non-political”

          Fish not seeing the water around them basically

      It’s liberal.

      You’re a fucking liberal.

      That’s just not fun to write an attention seeking essay about, because you’re just another dumbshit liberal trying to seem unique and redeemable.
