western media when countries have cabinet positions filled by members of the political party in charge

If Trump manages to balkanize the US I’m never gonna doubt accelerationists again

Cool story tankie, have you considered that lalalalalalala I can’t hear you

Implying US companies being racist/sexist/homophobic is just because of the foreigners lmao

pointed out that if everyone picks the lesser of two evils then things are going to get less evil

That’s just absolutely not how it works even if you take it at face value. Both evils can be greater than the one rn, that has absolutely no bearing on which one is “lesser” among them.

It very demonstrably is. Credit card debt is at record highs, home ownership is down, rents are a bigger proportion of salary than they’ve been in like a century, one in every five children in the US face food insecurity, incarceration is the highest in the world by far both in volume and per capita, people are going bankrupt with medical debt at record rates.

Just because you don’t want to face up to it doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

Sure, if you refuse to look at the sky it’s pretty hard to see the asteroid getting bigger.

42, obviously

Anyone who didn’t think genocide was an entirely negotiable part of the platform/a wedge issue nuisance, basically. There were some Jill Stein voters there, some PSL voters, some non voters who are otherwise politically active, certainly a bigger percentage than Dems who think politics is a thing you do every two years for a few hours.

I’ve yet to see democrat leadership organizing for a general strike or advocating for civil disobedience, unlike those others mentioned.

Nah, they deserve worse. The Nazis didn’t get punished, they got jobs. A few figureheads got the chopping block but most of the actual torturers, rapists, murderers, kidnappers got away scot-free west of the Berlin wall. The US is already doing what they did to the Nazis, shower them with money, find them jobs they need such monsters for.

Democrats are the ones criticizing the ones actually trying to put out the fire but doing jack shit about it.

What’s more, they’re the ones who doused the house with gas not a half a year ago, and whenever they’re not delighting in the terror going “oh I bet you must love it, you didn’t vote for the lady with the matches and now you got the guy with the flamethrower” they’re passing his budgets, they’re complying with Musk’s unelected goons, they’re getting on with his Gaza agenda and largely silent about the protestors getting kidnapped.

Asking for donations isn’t resisting, it’s ransom.

It’s you. They’re talking about you.

Keeping with Marx’s proud tradition of dunking on Proudhon for an entire book then dunking on him whenever he could later too.

Yes, sorry. I phrased it differently on the first write and forgot to cancel the negative before posting, thanks for pointing it out.

And they can talk about it on its own terms (that is, more truthfully) because they don’t have the obligatory ritual of painting the entire picture the CIA gave foreign media before they can talk about the actual facts.

Libs refuse to read anything that isn’t young adult fiction and thus are confined to pretending the real world is literally 1984 or literally Voldemort or literally the Hunger Games.

Shit, the brainrot is so advanced we’re getting “literally like that marvel movie” more often than not nowadays bc y’all can’t even read kid books more.

??? All media has a biased take, not even machines are free of bias. If you don’t recognize that NBC/CNN/NYT/WaPo is even more biased than any independent author you’re not paying any attention to the content, just the editorialized language of fake neutrality designed to fool people who care more about the appearance of factuality than factuality itself.

I’m begging people to stop judging the information by how “reliable” a site looks. Look at the sources.

On that same note, also stop treating sites as “reliable” in and of themselves, look at their sources too. You’ll stop falling for so much of the “he says she says” bullshit that US media peddles.

Or running a primary on Biden, or putting pressure to make sure he’d be jailed for his many crimes, or abandoning the campaign policies they knew were unpopular, or a hundred other times where they could have done anything other than use Trump as a fucking stick without the courtesy of a carrot

But if liberals don’t litigate and diminish every act of fascist violence how will they meaningfully interact with politics? They don’t got a vote coming for another two years!
