for - quote - commonality between far left and far right - key insight

If there’s a commonality between far Left and far Right, says Lyons,

• it’s a common opposition to the status quo
  • but one that’s based on fundamentally different reasons.

• for: Christian nationalism, Christian national, far right politics, Christian right, political extremism, MAGA fuel
• comment
  • the extreme right, MAGA Republican party is fueled by a movement composed of threatened Christian nationalists entering politics to assert power.
  • The extremism in the far right politics is in direct proportion to the high degree to which they perceive threat
  • Religious faith can inspire extremely powerful emotional responses and devotion. When combined with politics this can lead to extreme events, such as the Jan. 6 insurrection.
  • The mobilization of Christian nationals into local school boards has turned education into a political battleground.

• for:Douglas Rushkoff, Steve Bannon quoting Douglas Rushkoff, recontextualize, misquote, disquote
• new portmanteau meaning: disquote
  • quoting another person but with a context opposite to the original author's
    • from disinformation
• comment
  • thinking of what Douglas Rushkoff felt about Steven Bannon's use of his writing in a way that is opposite to what Rushkoff aspires to and advocates for,
    • we could not use the word "misquote" because it was verbatim
    • the portmanteau "disquote" can imply disinformation but it has a meaning that means a fake attribution of a quote, which is not quite right here
    • however, Bannon used Rushkoff's book chapter in a polar opposite context, to resonate with the pain of the masses, but lead to an end result that is diametrically opposite to the ultimate wellbeing of the hurt masses
    • this suggests a new meaning for the word "disquote", a quote used for quite divergent context
  • From a "Team Human" perspective, far right propaganda can be seen as using the content generated by the left in order to justify authoritarianism position that further consolidate power of the elites
  • The left critiques the many failings of neoliberalism and destructive capitalism by pointing out the social and ecological harm it causes and the same critiques can be coopted by the far right to rally the masses harmed by neoliberal policies.
  • The failing of the elite neoliberal class breaks up team human into perceived polarized team left and team far right (populist), where team populist is now mis-perceived to be the standard bearer of social justice.
  • The far right is stepping in to fill the gap of reacting to the enormous harm caused by neoliberal policies, but their solutions come with their own serious problems.
  • Team human, in the wide sense of the term must reclaim the territory for humanity
