>Thank you so much for fucking up my son's future, and doing your best to destroy our country that you apparently have been groomed to hate so much. I literally just bought a new vertical tiller for some backyard food plots as a hedge against just how bad things may get, because you people couldn't be bothered to listen to reasoned criticism of what you were actually doing. And don't think I don't know your frustration - I've been reading reactionary analysis long before the term deep state entered pop culture. This is the exact same screed I see from right-wingers write when the left gets elected, almost verbatim.

  Indeed, just because one dellusionally believes they are presecuted, does not mean they are. People have been memeing and satirizing leftist about this for decades at this rate, "oppression Olympics" and such. More recently, "Rugged. Vegan. Compassionate. Victim": https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=arw1pcqLI_M https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=arw1pcqLI_M

    Understand that it is not an exclusive concept for particular side in the political spectrum. I find it curious that you associate terms like "rugged", "vegan" and "compassionate" with a particular leaning on the political spectrum.

        Please enlighten me to the point you were hoping to make with a clip from South Park. I've seen the episode before but I fail to recall the entire context of the episode or exactly the relevancy of this clip from it. https://youtube.com/watch?v=y1XaSxfK0Ok https://youtube.com/watch?v=y1XaSxfK0Ok

        The point of the clip/episode is you should "brand" yourself as a "victim" (even though you're not) because it's in vogue and perceived as "cool." For leftist, it's virtuous to be a "victim", so people pretend they're being persecuted or victimized to gain clout.

        I'm not sure I follow. How is one pretending to possess a quality that is viewed by society at a given place in time as being "virtuous" related to someone suffering from a delusion that they're being persecuted and also related to someone actually experiencing persecution? Furthermore, I am still confused how you can conclude it's tied to a particular area on the political spectrum. To be clear, if there's evidence of someone is being persecuted then that is it likely real while in the absence of evidence it is likely that they are suffering from a delusion.

I put enough context in my comment that you should realize I'm not a blue tribe partisan. More like a libertarian who has become extremely conservative now that we're staring down fascism. Republicans using that style of rant is hold over from when they were the conservative party. It also serves as a nice cover narrative to motivate the need for their radical agenda, to the large contingent of their supporters who are still blissfully thinking of themselves as conservative. You also stripped the context where the person I was responding to was motivating their nonsense by referencing imagined harm to children in extremely rare cases, to justify this wholesale attack on our current society that will straightforwardly harm all of our children. That destruction of the present for a return to some imagined rosy past is one of the core tenets of fascism. A decade ago I would have been right with you pointing out the symmetry of the rhetoric, but at this point the Republican party has really gone off the deep end and only a fool ignores that.
