At that point you might as well just start talking about the Judeo-Bolshivik plot again, because you're already at that level of "blame foreigners for everything". Or hell, go all the way back to the ur-version and start ranting about Gog and Magog.
“Civil wars, child sexual slavery and devastating poverty are good, actually”
Edit: if you’re wondering why the OC OP blames liberals, it’s because this is literally nazi propaganda
For everybody new to a Lemmyleftist calling liberals bad: yeah its a thing. We’ve talked about it a lot. And they still refuse to understand why we’re pissed about it.
Pro Tip: odds are in the high 80-90% they’re not American.
Also we’re the bourgeoise who refuse to see capitalism’s chains or that the solution is to seize the means of production from the oppressor class. For more information, say you think liberals are good and wait for the dateline to swing by again.
I like poking them with a stick every now and then, but I don't have the patience to go out of my way to jab them every time I see them, indefinitely -- some of them can go on for weeks. Bless those of you who do.
watch this, I'm gonna toss this one out and it is gonna make one (Or five. Or twenty :3c) of them so mad: You can be opposed to moving towards the center and also realize that bullshit purity tests of leftism do nothing but help nazis in a time where the republicans are happy to welcome every kind of single-issue voter -- gun rights, your family all votes this way, anti-abortion, hate women, hate blacks, hate mexicans, anti-lgbtq, maybe you're a jesus freak, maybe you're a business owner, maybe you're an outright neo-nazi, maybe all you care about is that rich people are never taxed anything ever (regardless of your own income) -- they're all too happy to welcome all these various flavors of people under a big tent that tells them THEY BELONG.
I'm all for trying to talk these people out of their mediocre centrist shit takes, but that can wait for after we defeat the actual factual nazis, no? For now, we need to vote in every election we can to try and take the path of least harm -- if the DSA runs more candidates in primaries, fucking vote for them, but if one isn't the nominee, don't let perfect be the enemy of "better than what we've got".
now, sit back and watch the fireworks. I adore hearing from "true leftists", they're a laugh riot.
You sound like one of those trolls who tried to rile vegans up by deliberately talking about eating meat.
*gasp*! Vote?! for Democrats?!?! You incomprehensible monster!
Don’t you know voting is the cause of all evil?! Also, no one can really prove how it works! Plus it’s bad. Like the Democrats! They deserve our unconscionable inaction because Bernie didn’t win. It’s true, i read it in jacobin.
ridiculous take. 90s were good because great money was made in the west through Yeltsin corruption of Russia.
When no longer a client state, CIA/west took usual nazi diminishment attitutes towards it, and any Russian blind eye to neonazi click farms for GOP voting action, is simply not Russia's obligation to stop western implosion.
time when western libs finally understand Russia is not their friend.
It is neoliberal majority that supports war on Russia, and embraces the propaganda, that the US ever stopped hating/diminishing Russia. The new definition of tankie is that supremacist war on Russia is deserved, and not even the point that it is a losing proposition matters. You're a tankie even if you just don't want to bankrupt the west, or the signal of losing a demonic war will embolden more resistance to warmongering justifies collapse for trying.
You think the theft and sale of like 30 cents worth of Soviet garbage was what drove the economy of the 90s?
The 90s were wealthy because the 80s were wealthy and they had the Internet now.
