lol being called a fascist by some career politician ghoul that voted for the iraq invasion, cispa, the current genocide, and god knows what other bullshit. Like the amount of political murder this mf has a hand in..

His main function in Congress is funding the military and weapons sales.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 39 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Sounds like a good, unbiased person to comment on the US sending weapons to a country engaged in ethnic cleansing

I love democracy dot meme

Asked what kind of protest might be appropriate, Smith cited a recent instance in an armed services hearing in which “people came in and they didn’t say anything, they just held up bloody hands. And the chairman noticed that and said, ‘You can’t do that, you’re out, and they got up and left.”

This is why satire is dead

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 60 points 6 months ago

So even the words they invented have no meaning anymore

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 30 points 6 months ago

They already deep-sixed MeToo in part for Biden, they don't have actual principles

Yes, the totalitarians are...20 year old college students who hold no actual power besides collectively being loud and demonstrating in the hopes that it's disruptive enough to invoke change. Not the jackbooted thugs beating them with billy clubs and throwing them in a van.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 47 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Their mean words and angry chants are like drone strikes on apartment buildings. Imagine if that happened in your neighborhood. They should find something important to protest about

[-] roux@hexbear.net 46 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

What the fuck is a "leftwing fascist" lol? If you go with what fascism is, then extrapolate the left wing of that, you end up at Democrat. Like, what?

[-] highalectical@lemmygrad.ml 45 points 6 months ago

"Leftwing fascist" makes perfect sense to the types who also thought antifa were modern day brownshirts.

[-] roux@hexbear.net 31 points 6 months ago

Absolutely. This sort of rhetoric is aimed at exactly the "blue no matter who" crowd.

[-] Leon_Frotsky@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

its just redfash following the natural lifespan of an anticommunist label from being used by McCarthyite Red Scare era Republicans (norm-respectable) and then by reddit radlibs with a bone to pick against leftists (atlantic-council) and then by Respected Bipartisan^(TM)^ Democrats (holden-bloodfeast)

TIL that political opinions are like a globe and when you go left enough you become a fascist.

Protesters, Smith said, “would say, ‘Children are dying. This is a huge humanitarian crisis.’ And they’re right about that … and by the way, I do have some sympathy with these people. If there are members of Congress who won’t meet with them, I meet with them. All the time. So they have an opportunity to be heard. They’re not trying to be heard. They’re trying to silence people who disagree with them.”

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 53 points 6 months ago

It is kind of infuriating how they are always framing protest as wanting to be "heard", with the unspoken addition "and then ignored".

No, people are protesting because they want the genocide to stop, not because they want some Eichmann in a suit to smile and nod politely at them for five minutes.

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 31 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Children are dying.

I do have some sympathy with these people.

Banger

They're trying to silence those who disagree! About children being murdered!

[-] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 6 months ago

Won't somebody think of the oppressor!

[-] highalectical@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 6 months ago

Silencing them is polite compared to what should be done to them.
