Democrats get elected after the most important election of our lives, with the mandate to end populist fascism and bring back the Obama years. Then they spend 3 years fucking up, then calling anyone who notices a dumb hick russian bot. Now it's a few months out and it's time for the most important election again.

It's how we always slide to the right. They never do shit, just hop from one gaff to another with a smug attitude.

We must stop this violence and call for a two campus solution.

If leftists took over the country they would, ideally, form a worker's tribunal and execute Trump (or at least chuck him in a pit). When liberals run the country they just hope some state-level courts will make Trump pay large sums of money.

If Trump is a dangerous fascist, which method would stop him? Which method would allow him to continuously run for office?

"Typical of tankies -- resort to extremism. We could just pass a law that bans Trump from being president. No violence needed and we can uphold Western values."

Then why haven't you done it? Oh that's right, the precious system can be easily captures by fascists. Almost like it was designed that way. If only some tankie had written some books about this...

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a genocide is a good guy with a genocide.

Western Civilization is a balding middle-aged man trying to impress 14 year old boys.

You know, just like the Greeks.

Since US prices are so high, they were salivating at a Chinese housing crisis. That way they could enter the Chinese market and buy up properties for cheap. But since the government is going to buy up the cheap homes, they can't enter the market. So now comes the propaganda tantrum about how there's no way this will work, it's evil, it's authoritarian.

Problem is that shit only works on Americans. Appealing to Chinese people's sens of individualistic English property rights doesn't really work.

When you think about it, the most effective form of protest is filling out paperwork to change your career.

Folks, the world use to be fully of 30 year olds making music for 15 year olds so giant record companies could sell CDs. Then woke happened.

I know you all joke but if Trump is elected it will be a disaster. He will continue to support the genocide of Palestinians but he will say different things about it. Well, he won't say completely different things. Just the wording of the same things really. He won't say for Israel to be careful about committing war crimes while still supporting them. He'll still support them but he'll also say they should be doing the same genocide that they're doing now. And then what will we lose as a nation? We will lose our way.

Also Trump is too inept to build the border wall. Biden must be allowed to continue building Trump's wall, not because of racism, but because terrorists and crime is hurting our national security.

Hamas Congress sitting around a big table with charts and graphs, trying to allocate for next years budget. There's a pie chart that's like "Water: 0%, Electricity 0%, Food: 0%, Government: 0%, Terrorism: 100%".

Queers for Palastine? Uuuuuuum okay....so that just happened. flips though papers uh....checks snopes....okaaaaaaaaaaaay adults hard wow... r slash leapordsatemyface much? searches through 4gb of black lady reaction images even though I'm a 45 year old white man from a wealthy suburb of Maryland

The way they tell it, you'd think everything from DW, to Fox, to Propublica, to straight up AP News articles, are all written by the same people.

Same type of person. Careerist strivers who all accept the basic liberal version of history and society. The liberal version of history coincides with the reactionary version of history because they both refuse to question the premises of capitalism. That is they both agree more over capitalism and Western Hegemony more than they disagree about specific cultural issues. They don't all have to be in the same room, coordinating on a narrative because they all share the same boundaries of inquiry. So the same kind of stuff gets written without active coordination. This is a roundabout way to say they're all of the same class. They have class solidarity.

A liberal news source will talk about how good and downtrodden immigrants are. A conservative news source will talk about how all immigrants are drug dealers. But they don't disagree that there both needs to be immigration or that it needs to be regulated. A good real world example of this is Democrats flipping out over Trump's racism and then upping funding for "border security" and advocating for a tech wall. Neither question the fundamental assumptions about immigration. Both advocate for the same idea, just in different abstractions. Nobody actually thinks the person who writes a bleeding heart article gets up from their chair and sits at a different desk where they write about caravans of cartel members. Though you do get the same person/organization drifting into sounding like their opposition, like the NYT. Which illustrates, again, that they're the same class and ultimately share the same goals and fears.

It's not a hard code to crack. You just have to be willing to actually question things and be curious. But there's a lot of resentment in doing that (displayed here) because part of the media is propagandizing poor people and getting them adopt the same goals and fears as the upper classes. The people in government right now spent decades selling off your jobs and livlihood to cheaper areas of the world. Because it benefited them. One of those places was China. Capitalists gave China everything they needed to become what they are. It was fun when sowing. Now, because of problems in the West, China must become a talking point and scapegoat. The rich don't like them because they're closing themselves off from foreign investment and they're not playing ball with our foreign policy. That is they pose a threat to unite with other countries and close off investment as well. If US companies can't set up shop in Taiwan, for example, that hurts wealthy people in the US. You don't have that wealth or investment so that argument won't work on you. Therefore the problem must be abstracted and layered under a bunch of cultural or moral arguments. So you get stories about how the Chinese are all savage bug people who work like robots to overthrow your way of life. They're violating your liberal ideals of free speech. They're detaining Muslims so they're too racist. They don't like LGTBT people. They ruin your bitcoin gambling. They kill their people by cooking in sewage oil and their buildings fall down.

This is to get you to share opposition to China so that by the time we work ourselves into a War, you won't really question why your children are fighting in it. They'll go die so that US companies can keep pumping out resources from those countries and keep the competition out. All the sentiments about honor and duty and security and freedom are a lie.
