The majority of people who didn't vote for Harris don't care about Gaza. They're just larping on the internet.
She wasn't a zionist and wanted to end the war. It was a clear cut decision, but it was a brown and black sacrifice people were willing to make for their moral purity.
Yes. People internalize the flaws of their society as virtues and then iterate on those flaws to make an even worse society.
We need to point all of this out to people now so our choices in the next two elections aren't neoliberals promoting abundance and fascists. Assuming we still have fair and free elections.
This meme is about Abundance Liberalism. Unlike the article that I’ll link, I would argue that the center-left Democrats are actual leaning right of center neoliberals who are desperately trying to rebrand themselves so they can keep implementing their failed policies.
The new book Abundance by New York Times and Atlantic writers Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson has taken the center-left intelligentsia by storm this week, as it has received backing from outlets ranging from The Economist to Vox while America’s football coach Tim Walz has even endorsed it to a degree. I have not read the book yet, so I will refrain from entering the weeds of the many policy debates it raises, and if you want to read a critique of those weeds, there are thoughtful ones in The Baffler about how “the Abundance authors ask too little of themselves and their readers” and in The American Prospect about the litany of abundance liberalism’s corporate connections that may be informing its market-based policy recommendations.
Pasting this here too.

Deregulation hasn’t ever incrementally improved society. Especially in housing we need more regulation that prevents corporate ownership of homes, among other reforms.
Yes.
In this case I don’t think Schumer is anti deregulation because of money.
Schumer is beholden to billionaire donors that make up the owner class and will act in their interest whatever that interest is.
So if deregulation is against the interests of the owner class then Schumer will be against deregulation. If regulation is against the interests of owner class then Schumer will be against regulation.
Incremental changes like what neoliberals are calling for with abundance liberalism are all doomed to fail. There is an oppositional force, billionaires, that will seek to obstruct or twist any incremental change that is a detrimental to their shared class interests.
It won't. But even if it would, billionaires would shut it down wherever someone tried it. They have a shared class interest, the class consciousness, and the money to do so.
I've worked through the neoliberal talking points I wanted to refute with memes. I'll need to think about some news ideas going forward. Definitely let me know if you have ideas you would like to see drawn. I can link to my other posts if you want examples.
To fight fires before they reach somewhere.
What do people think about cross posting? I meant to post this here so I cross posted it. But in general, I assume that's for other people to do, so the post migrates naturally.
Because he's the Riddler and Tommy guns are used to riddle people with bullets. 🥁
Poking at a person's insecurities can be one of the best ways to deal with bigotry and hatred. So very much exhaust.
It's one of the only things we have left to do so we better hope it makes a difference.
The right never gets any shit for using their key boards to advocate for murdering us all and it seems pretty effective for them.
