"The reason you keep seeing comments like 'it’s over for the Left' or 'the Left has no response to this' on posts like this one is because the Right understands that the Left’s cultural dominance comes from demoralization. [...] the Right says look at this cute fuzzy little animal that doesn’t need to be deconstructed, queered, problematized, historicized, or academically revised. It’s just good, and the Leftist worldview cannot produce this. It can only endlessly criticize or destroy it."
The classic Marxist was finished once a successful revolution speciously placed the working class in charge. But by Neo-Marxism shifting the struggle to remedy social injustice over to marginalized population groups, victims of Western colonialism, animals, super-fringe sex fetishes, the environment, AI and robots, space aliens, and countless other new possibilities... No end is in sight.
If Gabriel Rockhill's conspiracy happened to be surprisingly correct -- that Neo-Marxism was a concoction of the CIA and other security organizations to water down old-fashioned communism... Then the irony would be that the engineered replacement is perhaps more annoying than the original left-wing religion. But the influential work of Antonio Gramsci well predated any bizarre CIA master plans for dealing with classic Marxism.

Not DE-moralize so much as A-moralize. But then it's hard to say you are amoralizing an image that is already essentially amoral in its essence. Hence the utter failure of the Right's assumption that non-rightwing humans are failing because there are amoral things. The real question is why a mere picture of something aesthetically pleasing to innocent and agenda-free people becomes weaponized for the Right's obsessive political agenda. Who is really moralizing about shit that is essentially amoral?

Someone either didn't watch or didn't understand the video. 9_9
But proves the video's point... having no response to it, other than deconstructing it as right-wing weaponization.

My response (Be it whatever side of the dodecahedron):
"Click bate!"
It's just some slush piece to upset the left so as to get advertising revenue through the hate mail. If the left rationalised, they might realise to just avoid the right altogether. (even the right avoids the right)

I suspect the clue is in the name >Christian< Heiens. God-fearing christians have seen that the left are basically devil-worshippers .. and the left has no answer to it. We had this sort of thing in Europe about 500 years ago.

Like Christian Anderson Jr, though, it's his real name. But can't completely rule out that his parents might have titled him that for religious reasons. He's a political analyst and election modeler.

Whether pure chance .. I still think that's what it is. Trump leading prayer meetings, Trump cuddling up to beautiful things. Trump memorials to great lives .. the nation is heading that way. The left .. ugh!

It must be exhausting to be snarky all day.

It's easy to be snarky when our government is a clownish lampoon of its former self. The script basically writes itself.
