Most of them are just indoctrinated like all the other people. They simply believe in the system. So, so many people fall into that trap for a lot of reasons, but it makes sense when the alternative is a slow decline into madness because you can't not participate in this shit unless you are willing to make a lot of sacrifices. But first they'd have to confront that their own reality is bullshit, which is a monumental task and it only gets harder as you age and become more entrenched in the system

Pretty sure a few people got shot at one in Alabama not that long ago.

Every single anarchist I've met IRL was at least capable of recognizing anti-communist propaganda. I've never had one try to feed me shit from Radio Free Asia or give me a weird look if I say something good about China, USSR, etc.

Only online do these anarchists seem to appear regularly and all I can assume is that most of them are simply baby leftists who have been poisoned by rightwing propaganda along the way. Or maybe all the IRL anarchists I've been around were just being polite and after I left they all called me a tankie and red fash idk

Is he? I just looked it up and he ran as a Republican and endorsed Trump. Seems like just another magat afraid to call themselves a conservative

I never would have guessed this. Most of the older wrestlers are GOP or worse. Hell, I think one of them is a mayor or something in TN.

If God didn't want me to put it up in there and wiggle it around a little, why'd he make my finger fit so well?

I need to go to China for trains and giant salamanders

I'ma be honest I live for Dems pearl clutching over this shit, it's hilarious to me. A barely socialist Muslim wins a primary and libs are literally comparing it to 9/11 on Fox News.

We won't apologize for the terror, but it hasn't even started yet and they're already pissing and shitting themselves. Genuinely, this kinda thing should be the signal to so many people that socialism is a legitimate threat to the status quo. I really hope Mamdani gets more radical and doesn't capitulate, but history says he'll be a sheepdog if he even wins

Yeah, they'd have to read it for this to even matter

There probably is. A couple of years ago there were tons of videos and memes and stuff about him being the antichrist. Anything that gets that much attention is gonna end up being at least a TikTok cult or something

The pledge of allegiance was even written by a Christian socialist of some sort
