Not left, not right, but right. I am a very serious person. Never in my life have I critically examined the implications of private capital.
Fascists love to invent a new third type of thing that's just right wing politics again. They do it every 20 years or so.
Even the nazis branded themselves as third position lol
Because they need to, their position is utterly incapable of delivering anything they promise. Right wing policy can only make things worse for everyone who isn't already ultra wealthy, so they need to keep rebranding the exact same "more tax cuts for the rich and fewer labour and environmental laws" thing because if they don't, even the CHUDs would eventually catch on that the people promising them to "fix" things are only making things worse.
Yeah, it's absolutely a method of political theatre.
I do wonder if Musk is self-aware enough to realise that himself, or if he was prodded into this by people around him.
how do i infiltrate this party and then send him to gitmo after i win
20 years? Let's be honest they do this at every opportunity they can and pretend they're just a poor innocent left liberal that was forced to join rightists because "the left are too annoying these days"
I mean, on an individual level absolutely. But there's a definite ebb and flow to the relevance of this framing within national politics. Last time it was big was the Tea Party bullshit about 15-20 years ago, and the time before that was the Clintonite Third Way and Ross Perot's Reform party about 15 years or so before that.
