@conservmillen It's getting insane. We have a problem on the Right. The economics of online discourse are increasingly at odds with forming and mobilizing a successful political movement.
@realchrisrufo @conservmillen I think I know what you're getting at, but it would be nice if you could expand on this a little and maybe be more specific, although I can see why you might not want to do that.
@eyeslasho @conservmillen Kanye-style antisemitism, right-wing identitarianism, online grifting, extreme conspiratorialism, etc. None of these are right on the merits and they are a threat to a functional, popular conservative movement.
@ZaidJilani @eyeslasho @conservmillen I work in the conservative movement and I can say definitively that what you're saying is not true.
@realchrisrufo @ZaidJilani @eyeslasho @conservmillen Indeed. Even I’ve been caught up, at times. Reactionary, and takes real introspection to avoid the “whataboutism” mindset.
@realchrisrufo @ZaidJilani @eyeslasho @conservmillen "There's nothing I can do except work full time for the party controlled by the former president and vote in every election for the candidates that support him. But I really don't like it! I'd like to make that point clear."
@realchrisrufo @ZaidJilani @eyeslasho @conservmillen the only word of the original tweet that’s not a core feature of your personal brand is ‘kanye’
@realchrisrufo @ZaidJilani @eyeslasho @conservmillen It’s so sane and that’s why you are afraid to name anyone
@realchrisrufo @ZaidJilani @eyeslasho @conservmillen Oh good grief, the party of personal responsibility and it’s nobody’s fault? What is your fault?
@realchrisrufo @ZaidJilani @eyeslasho @conservmillen I'm confused. Are we to reject the Alt-Right, or just make sure we coordinate our message?
@realchrisrufo @ZaidJilani @eyeslasho @conservmillen Zaid was a pretty level headed guy before 10/7, usually quite fair. He's gone off the deep end towards conservatives and Israel supporters since then. It has gotten bigoted enough that I had to unfollow him.
@realchrisrufo @ZaidJilani @eyeslasho @conservmillen Yeah we watch it every day, and that's all it is now, grievance and hating minorities.
@realchrisrufo @ZaidJilani @eyeslasho @conservmillen You represent the fringe. Main stream conservative movement is all about the “South Will Rise Again!”
