# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Consoom Trumpler] (https://arete.network/polls/39f7e396-11a0-4c41-9cf4-deaf34f80341/)
In this weekly we consoooooooooom Trumpler! Unless you been living in a log cabin off grid for the last two weeks you likely know Trump has been arrested. So, what did he do? They must have finally gotten him for his trips to Epstein Island? Oops, wrong guy. Wait oh it must have been for his son’s shady business deals with Ukraine and China. Dang, wrong guy again. Oh, wait, it has something to do with that corn star Hurricane Denise? Wasn’t all this nonsense settled like years ago? Who knows... Just need to crack open a few more Dylan Mulvaney Bud Lights and turn on CNN. Is there any sports ball on?
 
 
 
 
 
Discussion ideas:
 
 
 
* What is your opinion on Trumps arrest?
* Is it really campaign finance fraud or just weaponized lawfare?
* Do you think Trumps arrest have harmed his prospects for 2024 or helped?

# Previous Weeklies:
* [Master List](https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct/wiki/ConPro-Weekly/)

Content mirroring between [scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct](https://scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct) and [arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct](https://arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct) is now ready for an experimental test run. There are bound to be some issues starting out and changes may be reverted if anything goes catastrophically wrong.
   
I have tried my best to minimize the number of requests to the Scored API as much as possible, which means that feed updates won't happen in real time, but they should still be frequent enough to display fresh content (currently a 15 minute interval). Old posts will be updated when accessed directly or when listed on feeds.
   
I've made sure to respect content deletion and not retain deleted content, so as long as everything works as intended, content deleted by users on scored.co should become unavailable as soon as someone attempts to view it, if not prior to that through feed updates detecting discrepancies.
   
Any posts or comments you make on Arete Network's Consume Product board will be automatically crossposted to Scored by a bot account.
   
Mirrored content is by default hidden from Arete's front page, but you may choose to enable it in [your settings](https://arete.network/settings/), or turn it off entirely if you so desire.

Fascism is not a right wing ideology. National socialism is not a right wing ideology. National socialism is centrist, fascism veers left.

These terms also hold no weight, because they change on a whim. Originally, collectivism was a right wing ideology. A staunchly right wing one. But the soviet union did it too, so now it's left wing, and individualism is right wing. "Freedom of religion" was a left wing ideology. Now it's a right wing one, because the soviet union cracked down on religion. Capitalism itself was originally left wing, now it's right wing. Again, because the soviet union existed. And apparently everything the soviet union did was left wing, even though not everything it did was. Environmentalism was right wing and disrupted "progress". Now it's left wing for some reason or another. You get the point. I could go on for days.

Anything that was upheld by the French monarchy during the French revolution, which was originally right wing, that the US did not adopt, that the soviet union brought back (they did that with a lot of things, its complicated), is now left wing. Anything that the jacobins upheld, which is now currently upheld by the United States in particular and the west in general, which the ussr did not adopt, is now right wing and conservative. The dichotomy has held no meaning because it keeps switching sides.

Another one: Faggotry was on the radar of approximately zero groups of people until recently. The soviet union hated faggots, Marx, and any other socialist writers never mentioned them at all, the west hated faggots slightly less. But faggotry is left wing because.... uhhh.... because it just is okay? Ignore the fact that every left wing state actively killed them.

Do you see how these terms have no actual fucking meaning?

Third positionism in general is usually not right wing period. Though it *can be*. Though because of its ties to mussolini, it's founding father, who was a recovering marxist, and based his ideas around heterodox socialism, it usually is decidedly not right wing at all. It's almost universally anti reactionary, and is typically anti capitalist.

Some third positionist movements, namely falangism, were almost *far left*. Fiscally closer in ideology to the soviet union than to Hitlers Germany or Mussolini's Italy.

What's the common current then? Everyone knew about the jewish issue, nationalism, religion, and race, which is why Hitler aligned with the Falange. They would never agree on fiscal policy. Who cares? They agreed on the menace plaguing the planet. That's what matters.

Language is a powerful tool. Jews police it. By throwing around terms like "left" and "right" you give leverage to the nu-speak that they have invented to dumb down politics and conflict into demonizing one group and praising another.

That is all.
