We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

Ben Shapiro complaining about leftists cheering for the murder of insurance CEO but his own fans in the comments disagree and also cheer for it
The thing about right wingers is most of them don't actually like the capitalist system they're supporting that's why right wing leaders so often lean on cultural issues and racism and misogyny

It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent.
We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.
God, I was so happy when I was 18. I wasn't at the time, but in retrospect I was.

Born in part from transformations in technology and communication, diagonalists tend to contest conventional monikers of left and right (while generally arcing toward far-right beliefs), to express ambivalence if not cynicism toward parliamentary politics, and to blend convictions about holism and even spirituality with a dogged discourse of individual liberties. At the extreme end, diagonal movements share a conviction that all power is conspiracy. Public power cannot be legitimate, many believe, because the process of choosing governments is itself controlled by the powerful and is de facto illegitimate. This often comes with a dedication to disruptive decentralization, a desire for distributed knowledge and thus distributed power, and a susceptibility to rightwing radicalization.”
Trump's cabinet (and really the next decade of our politics) will make a lot more sense you know the word "diagonalism"
