Cuckservatives purged and purity spiraled "out ofmprinciple" too, and it ended with them removing talent, losing track of the important issues politically (separate political issues from moral ones now, not doing so is a luxury we can afford later. Operational misbehaviour is another matter, harms political goals*), and creating neocon gatekeepers. By removing people good onnthenimportant issues by labelling them not conservative since that was redefined to less radical leftism. That last fact obscures things of course, it was their inability to retain talent and priorities except to their dogma that mattered, and of course this was just a way for neocons to take control by controlling this mechanism.   We also the libertarian party becoming saw infested by getting rid of racists   Prominent examples include the Reagan battalion dissing cPac for inviting le pen and not Romney. Neocons attacking nationalists over some issues. And many religious registers went with this smear campaign because they we'd told Len Pen was godless and therefore couldn't couldn't conservative. It isn't jus your club and Reagan destroyed marriage anyway https://archive.is/8KONz   Specifically on abortion, which she isnt in favor of anyway: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/12/06/marine-le-pen-niece-marion-clash-abortion-latest-far-right-family/ https://archive.is/pJ721 This is why appeals "principled conservatism" are too often a lever by which neocons can purge nationalists, just an outlet to smear someone for reasons which do nothing to further political goals   All that matters is persuasion and some people persuade some kinds of people.   Vagary helps us. Makes us harder to target, especially irl where we need to blend in and compromise. White Taqiyya   * wiggle room here I know but if it is an abstract or indirect connection, no. Has to be concrete wrongdoing that isnt just personal interaction or offensive to you personally.   Immigration and demographics decide all the other issues. All the moral and political ones. They matter more   k, my issue with principled conservatism is it doesnt look at the issue which will decide all the others ones, but imagines the existence of a few socialists will taint their movement and doom capitalism forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Honestly, it's all too often virtue signalling. And like all moral outrage it is likely hypocritical and definitely self-serving. What people who say optics-cuck dont get is we need to focus on persuasion above all else, and that political movements must balance lots of factors against being true to ourselves with this in mind. When we lack plausible deniability (ie irl) we need to act. Same here, we need to win on the arguments we need won to fulfill our purpose, and balance doing that against having approval from everyone.   https://archive.is/0we2y https://archive.is/4anN3 https://archive.is/L8pxU   Cooperation requires seeing basic humanity after all, not doing so is worrisome and why we dislike our adversaries. https://archive.is/RbtkE   https://archive.is/kyeUN
