Yeah, you’re right, we should all become smug MSNBC libs and call them all meth heads, how could I have been deceived into thinking that that is totally intellectually vacuous and counterproductive!

"no no, we have to understand them, globalism made them resentful of foreigners"
no, oligarch-owned media (consolidated talk radio monopolies, TV, print, social media) took kernels of truth (NAFTA was a real attack on workers in the US & Mexico—a wound that never healed for many US workers) and built & reinforced (daily!) divide & conquer identities & narratives around them.
nobody could plausibly argue we’d be in the same place we’re in today if all mass media had been magically somehow free of this sort of brainwashing.
or better, if it was all, or even mostly under the democratic control of the masses of people, the working class and the people capitalism treats as “surplus population”.
Everything you said is more or less true But white working class people should stop voting Republican, it's hurting them and everyone else and it's no crime to point this out.
“I wish I could be at brunch now pretending President Kamala Harris isn’t also carrying out fascist policies—expanding the funding and powers of ICE, sending more bombs and unconditional support to the US/Israeli genocide of Palestine, encouraging violent state & corporate repression of protests”
smug fucks tell yourselves you oppose fascism by voting for one of the two fascist parties in the imperial core.
You’re right, I should be an effective anti-fascist like you. From now on, I’m gonna talk about actual blood and soil types like I’m their battered spouse, making sure everyone knows how much they didn’t MEAN to be racist authoritarians, honest!
Just wondering, how long do I have to wait for Jethro and Cletus to finally rise up, stop being racist, and join their proletarian brothers to kill billionaires? I gotta imagine your ass is getting pins and needles by now sitting around waiting for that, yeah?
if we all sit around and wait, we’re going to be unhappy with the result. if we can agree on anything, it’s that we’re well past the time for sitting around and waiting for someone else to fix shit.
You’ll forgive me if I’m skeptical that you’re the one leftist on social media that’s really gonna firebomb the Wal-Mart this time after talking about it for years. And I’m even more skeptical that rural America is gonna help you do it.
Nobody is talking about… whatever you’re describing. And it’s my policy to mute people who start talking about violent acts like that so goodbye.
I guess this kinda comes back to what I said at first. There’s villages full of rednecks just waiting to help you operate the guillotine! Go on, brother, time’s a wasting, go find a toothless hick wearing Alligator Alcatraz merch and tell him why he needs to join your terrorist cell!
Making up a fictionalized version of a person to get mad at
nah just holding up a mirror. if you can’t see that the Democratic Party is also fascist, that’s a you problem.
the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you fucking moron"
Gee that’s strange, you have quote marks around that comment, but I never said any of that 🤨🤨🤨
your image depicts a reductive analysis in which liberals are somehow not “fascism supporters”, in the US context, that’s what that means
Fascism is when we aren’t living in your idealized anarchist paradise, got it.
“actual fascism is when the gun is pointed at my family. when it’s pointed at my neighbor, that’s just The Way The World Works”
“Fascism is when a government uses a gun”
