Because it seems like whatever it is you're arguing is just the same sort of inherently fracturing ungrounded idpol that is so abrasive to you guys causing you to perpetually and reflexively react, merely veiled by its de facto agreement with some vague unidentified talisman presumably within the hegemonic culture that one is supposedly defending/protecting (a hegemonic culture which, you know, sucks, pretty sure no one disagrees...soo...), one that was entirely circumstantially handed to you and merely accepted arbitrarily without any real existential consideration, ie no reflection of like Heideggerian "dasein", just blind dogmatic acceptance of and faith in...well that's what I want to know, what exactly?
In other words, here's what I see:
Vague assertion 1: "I hate people who seek to destroy [insert identity here]"
Vague assertion 2: Banal sort of Schmittean quote about how identity is defined by opposing what threatens "what we love", never of course identifying what exactly that is or what that means.
None of these things are ever clearly defined though, they're just abstract cultural shibboleths. Like...can you ground a descriptive definition of [insert way of life here] or [insert what is loved here] ***materially *** ie to something objective that can be verified independently of your subjective interpretation/interior understanding, other than basically appealing to the exact same nebulous nonsense that is constantly complained about? Can you make descriptive and not normative claims here, in other words?
This is what I never get about this "cultural war" nonsense, because it would seem to me that existence precedes essence and thus a material organization of society would define the bounds of possibility and the tensions/conflicts within it, cultural and otherwise, but point being it's entirely bounded by how material reality is organized foundationally (with language, law, etc. formed on top of that material organization that orients our interests first and foremost by ability to merely survive obviously; a basic material survival) and thus has nothing to do with "jews" or whatever kind of arbitrary scapegoat (the essence of "jew" for example, just as meaningless and arbitrary, the result of a historical continuity and tidal material forces that are largely environmental circumstance) for undeniably deteriorating material conditions one happens to see through the cultural kaleidoscope.
As it turns out, I would say there's a far better explanation for that material disintegration and persistently eroding individual autonomy/control over one's life, if that is perhaps the actual issue that is being projected and merely perceived culturally, and that is due to the material organization or "mode of production" dictated by capitalism; possibility entirely dictated by profitability, tendency of the rate of profit to fall coupled with the implicit demand for constant growth constantly and entirely unnecessarily transforming society chaotically in every unimaginable contortion it can to satisfy these entirely arbitrary systemic demands and squeeze out profit from everything and everyone, hollowing out social meaning/trust and selling it for profit, alienation from one's labor as they are de facto condemned to a life of servitude in which their generated labor value goes entirely unappreciated and instead merely added to the absurdly grotesque pile of catastrophically underutilized wealth for like a handful of absolute dipshit sociopaths that already have everything that nonetheless insatiably demand more...
"The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air [Metaverse/NFTs/Crypto/finance/tech bs, all unconsciously undergirded by global US corporate empire entirely taken for granted], all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind." - some guy, a bit optimistic at the end we wouldn't just choose individual delusion while the planet literally burns around us...
As the phrase goes, antisemitism is the socialism of fools.
What exactly is your "way of life" though?
