Transphobia is such a lazy re-skin of homophobia

What is dei

'woke' has almost fully taken over from 'PC'

Follow the clues people!

No that’s German for “the.”

it spells Die

Of course, it's the Germans again!

The fact I’ve actually heard this from two family members.

I agree with almost all of this, but I don't think most of it contradicts OP's premise (so long as we remove the word "literal" from the title). Like:

all those oppositions are the same impulse to keep capitalism chugging away to benefit the guys at the top.

Right. And each of them could be swapped out depending on whether or not they are convenient for capital to oppose or support at any given moment, with the issue of evangelicals and abortion that you pointed out being the perfect example of this in general, not an exception.

But for the most part, any heavy consumer of right-wing social media, conservative activist, or politician has or is coalescing a fairly consistent worldview and we can't beat them if we incorrectly think they're morons.

First of all, I would agree that their worldview can be called consistent in that it is comprised of positions that will always tend towards support for capital, the status quo, and existing hierarchical power structures. But that's a different thing from being inconsistent in terms of hypocrisy or what we might call "internal consistency," like not being totally contradictory. Example, claiming to stand for keeping politics out of games while holding up something like Call of Duty as being apolitical. Or referring to people who care about equality as being "special snowflakes" even as they themselves whinge and blubber about the oppression of whatever group they tie to their sense of identity (invariably the most privileged groups like white, cis-hetero, men, gamers, etc.) It's these kind of culture war issues that are the chips that can be swapped out that I think SFS was talking about and he is right.

Their political positions are not based on any kind of analysis or fundamental principles, but instead shift along with the status quo, which does change over time due to things like technology, even if the overarching deference to the owning class never changes in a capitalist society. These are politics of convenience in a way that communist politics are most definitely not. Maybe it's just semantics, but I would say right wing culture war politics are not arbitrary, but that they are inconistent.

Also, I don't think it's really accurate to lump the rank and file chuds (the larger mass of right wing social media) in with the politicians as a singular class with the same interests that align in support of capital. There are those that get the ball rolling and steer the culture war issues and those that unfortunately will just follow along and be outraged by whatever the fox news or youtube alt-right algorithm or evangelical church tells them is outrageous. Like has been pointed out before, many working class people who identify as right wing do correctly recognize there is something really fucking wrong with this shit society, but they are manipulated into looking in the exact opposite direction of where the problem actually lies. The capitalist class, in part via politicians, are the ones doing the manipulation after having murdered and demonized the left. I think it's fair to say that there are some people who hold and program the chips in OP's analogy, able to cynically swap them in and out to benefit their own ends, but a much larger set of people whose brains are the targets for those chips and who have been trained to accept the swapping without question.

They also focused on calling their opponents "NPCs" as a way to completely dehumanise them, treat them like a mindless character in a video game that it is ok to torment and attack because their suffering isn't "real."

At its core, this is a meme about dehumanising people different from us, treating them as mindless and disposable and I don't think it's something we should encourage.

And it's all meant to keep the left on the defensive and stoop to even entertain their arguments.

Makes you bourgeois, I'm sorry

boobs have high buoyancy so the ship would float better, wokeness destroyed

This is the true reason ships always had mermaids and shit on the front. I forget the term for those decorated poles.

how big of boobs would it have taken to cushion the impact to a safe level?

Wish for unlimited ammo to use on the bourgeois.

Divide and conquer has never failed for the ruling class. Keep the proletariat at each others' throats and we won't slit the oligarchs' throats.

All the same.
