“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

(This is a little unfair or at least over-broad, in that there are plenty of movements normally identified as conservative who don’t have this ethos; you wouldn’t catch Merkel indulging in it, say. But it’s not a terrible description of the new/21st century far/right movements.)

The regressive right sees Floyd as a “degenerate”; and in their eyes, nothing done to such a person (up to and including public execution) can be a crime.

I was curious what the argument is and it seems - the first I saw - that he was following methods he was trained on https://x.com/OwenGregorian/status/1876964172195352954

The right has always considered the murder of George Floyd to be entirely justified. It has never been even remotely controversial for them.

If anything, their only objection is that the police aren't killing more black people more often.
