nothing is funnier to me than a liberal who’s gotten ahold of the word “Reactionary” and thinks it means “in reaction to a thing”
I have had big adorno readers say basically this lmaoooo
Reacting to modernity by rejecting it, embrace everything was better back in the day
Ah, close! I would add that it’s not just the belief that things were better in the past; you have to also try to re-create the past, try to reenact it, to be reactionary.
If you’re in politics maybe. Otherwise it seems you’d mostly yell at clouds and tell the young ones how they should lead their lives
Belief alone does not make you anything. It’s your actions that decide what you are. If :yells-at-cloud: and chastising the youth is all someone does, maybe they’d have a tendency to reactionary politics – if they start doing anything else.
They do vote conservative (which I must assume affiliates them), but that’s only every few years, so it can hardly be described as something they do often. There’s also blaming the immigrants and LGBT people and complaining about any and every environmental cause and acting smug that there’s seemingly nothing to be done to avert climate disaster.
