I actually read this as an acknowledgement that the idealogy that some people call "cuckservatism" has no appeal to people who aren't elite whites, and thus we need a Right that is let us say, alternative.

I actually think urban-suburban-rural tensions will rise as urban areas gentrify with rich white liberals who reap almost all economic gains under global capitalism. "FUCK SAN FRANCISCO" actually seems like a winning platform for 2040 California Republicans.

And nationwide, it easily coalesces into a general anti-elite animus towards whatever local urban area reaps most economic growth. So car culture actually seems like a major political flashpoint for the future.

I already have none of those things. Duterte actually delivered most of those things in Davao (juries out on Bolsonaro since he's not in charge). I don't think it's either/or. "My side" has to win in order to have those things.

That being said, Duterte and Bolsonaro are on different sides. Duterte is a secular, pro-LGBT, center-left socialist. Bolsonaro is a hard-right homophobic reactionary quasi-libertarian conservative. I don't think "my side" needs to win. I just think (neo)liberalism has to lose.

I'm not completely against the idea that modern social collapse and atomization is a side effect of capitalism but we really have no way of knowing that
