Before you enter a battle, it s best to understand the kind of monster you re fighting. With its use of mob violence, censorship, and propaganda, it can be easy to conceive of the left as a unified, tyrannical colossus. But that s just not the case. While a thin veneer of vindictive Marxist rhetoric is smeared across the leftist coalition to create the appearance of a solid front, progressives in reality are a snarling mass of contradictory interests unified by their hate for America.

00:00:30.000 Before you enter a battle, it's best to understand the kind of monster that you're fighting.
00:00:34.780 With its use of mob violence, censorship, propaganda, and even criminal prosecution,
00:00:39.860 it can be easy to conceive of the left as a unified, tyrannical colossus.
00:00:44.420 But that's just not the case.
00:00:46.120 While a thin veneer of vindictive Marxist rhetoric is smeared across the coalition
00:00:51.140 to create the appearance of a solid front,
00:00:53.880 progressives in reality are a snarling mass of contradictory interests
00:00:57.640 unified by their hate for America.
00:01:00.920 This distinction is critical, as it radically shifts the tactics one can consider when engaging
00:01:06.380 in combat.
00:01:07.380 And make no mistake, we're in a fight for the future of our country.
00:01:10.980 The progressive coalition is powerful, but contains many critical fault lines.
00:01:15.980 It's easy to become demoralized and paralyzed by inaction when you see your opponent as an
00:01:28.840 omnipotent and omniscient leviathan capable of crushing all opposition.
00:01:33.460 Conservatives and right-wingers do need to realize the totality of the forces arrayed against
00:01:39.860 them, but only with the goal of increasing urgency and gathering courage.
00:01:45.880 With the rising awareness of the deep state and the fact that the American ruling class
00:01:50.780 is largely organized in opposition to the interests of those they govern,
00:01:55.740 there is a tendency to view the left as a highly coordinated and monolithic force.
00:02:01.560 It's a critical mistake to attribute unified intention and strategy to mass coalition.
00:02:09.620 It gives the illusion of playing chess against a single grand champion,
00:02:14.020 when in reality you're really dealing with a loose but powerful oligarchy
00:02:18.640 that's hurting increasingly rabid cattle. 0.95
00:02:22.580 The deep contradictions at the heart of the progressive coalition often baffle conservatives.
00:02:28.060 Trans activists work alongside African-American and Muslim communities that find their lifestyles
00:02:33.800 repulsive.
00:02:34.960 Marxist radicals agitate for economic revolution, but end up supporting woke multinational corporations.
00:02:42.120 Liberal, pro-Israel Jewish donors fund the same political movement that contains Palestinian
00:02:48.420 activists who chant from the river to the sea across college campuses.
00:02:53.180 These groups very obviously would be fighting to the death in any other context,
00:02:59.000 but somehow they find a way to work together and dominate the political landscape in the United States.
00:03:06.380 What's better than a well-marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue?
00:03:10.600 A well-marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue that was carefully selected by an Instacart shopper and delivered to your door.
00:03:17.940 A well-marbled ribeye you ordered without even leaving the kiddie pool.
00:03:22.360 Whatever groceries your summer calls for, Instacart has you covered.

00:03:31.380 Service fees, exclusions, and terms apply.
00:03:33.560 Many on the right have attempted to explain this curious phenomenon by attributing it to the prevalence of postmodern neo-Marxist thought on the left.
00:03:46.160 This is tempting as many on the left explicitly embrace Marxist language or apply the oppressed and oppressor frame to their evaluation of every social ill.
00:03:57.100 I think it's fair to say that to some degree Marxist thought has become the superstructure that grants a level of coherence to the leftist coalition.
00:04:08.500 But ultimately, this is not the deciding factor that causes queers for Palestine to cheer for a group of people who would kill them in a heartbeat. 0.79
00:04:17.240 At its core, the left is a movement unified by hatred of the average red state American.
00:04:25.540 The rural, white, small-business-owning evangelical Christian male with a wife and kids is the evilest thing progressives can imagine. 0.75
00:04:35.080 Every faction inside the leftist coalition has its own interests and grievances, but they're united by the fact that they hold Red America in the deepest contempt and blame them for everything wrong in the country. 0.62
00:04:50.320 This is why the left seems fine with discarding and adopting contradictory narratives at a moment's notice.
00:04:59.620 Ultimately, the left is held together by a naked desire for power and vengeance.
00:05:04.980 And that power comes from dismantling the civilization built by previous generations of Americans and distributing the spoils to the various client classes that serve the progressive movement.
00:05:19.280 Under any other circumstances, the different factions inside the left would tear each other apart, but that animosity is held at bay by a general fear and loathing of conservative America.
00:05:35.380 There's a reason that universities, corporations, and even the United States military have identified whiteness as an evil that must be suppressed or expelled from public life. 0.96
00:05:48.160 Many in the progressive coalition are, of course, white, but they see themselves as one of the good ones, allies against the deplorables and bitter clingers who wear MAGA hats and attend church on Sunday. 0.77
00:06:02.340 As wild as wild as it may seem due to the meager resistance offered by the Republican Party, the left truly believes that conservatives are an existential threat and that progressives have a moral duty to rule over and punish Red America. 0.63
00:06:20.680 Hatred and fear are powerful motivators, but they can't paper over the critical fault lines in the progressive coalition forever.
00:06:28.540 The leftist civil war over Israel and Palestine that's been erupting on college campuses during an election year shows how quickly rival factions can turn on each other without a shared enemy to fight.
00:06:41.160 The right should keep these hostile divisions in mind and look to exacerbate them at every opportunity.
00:06:47.420 Conservatives should also recognize when it's time to get out of the way and let warring factions fight each other, rather than riding to the rescue by providing a shared symbol around which the left can rally.
00:07:01.440 While it's highly unlikely that any of these groups will suddenly flip and begin voting Republican,
00:07:08.400 sowing chaos among the ranks of the enemy in a critical election year is always a good tactic.
00:07:14.560 The hatred shared by the different factions in the progressive coalition can galvanize them into an intimidating force,
00:07:23.660 but the right should never be blind to the fact that these groups have very different goals and interests.
00:07:31.940 Conservatives should also avoid the temptation to over-intellectualize the motives of a movement that's driven entirely by resentment and a lust for power.
00:07:43.820 The left is only capable of acting as a force of hatred and deconstruction,
00:07:51.080 which means it has nothing to offer but the gutted ruins of a civilization progressives are intent on destroying.
00:08:00.220 Progressives are very clear about what they hate and seek to dismantle,
00:08:05.940 so conservatives should be clear about what they love and what they intend to build,
00:08:11.320 while taking every opportunity to expose and exacerbate the rift between factions in the leftist coalition.
