crying wolf? Are you fucking serious? Each offense to democracy weakened it allowing to the eventual rise of fascists, however, the fascists were always there in the shadows or more since the foundation of fascism and the prototypes to it (ya know, transatlantic slave trade, genociding natives - an inspiration for Hitlers final solution). Some say in the modern era it started with not holding Nixon accountable. I wasn’t alive then. But I was alive and old enough to see bush’s 2000 election theft (look up brooks brothers riot - lots of notable names involved) and the lack of response towards it. And then 9/11 and the patriot act, Guantanamo, the NSA spying, authorization for drone strikes abroad on American citizens without due process, the forever wars on terror in Afghanistan and Iraq, establishment of homeland security, blocking Obama’s ability to pick a SCOTUS judge, funding Israel’s genocidal state, there’s so much blowback from the middle eastern adventures in imperialism it’s not even funny. I can go on and on and on. I forgot a major one - nobody responsible for 2008 financial crash going to prison. Not one fucker. All got golden fucking parachutes while everyday people lost their homes. Thanks neoliberalism for the material conditions that bring fascism! Can’t say Marx and Engels didn’t warn you 175 fucking years ago!
Then there’s the persecution of the actual left - the people who fought for environmental, animal, civil rights and against capitalism getting life sentences on terrorism charges. So much of the rise of the authoritarian state has been a bipartisan power grab and infringement on the civil rights of citizens. And all protesting does is get one wrapped up in the system and put on a list. The people in power aren’t afraid of the masses. And now they’re fucking around so badly, they should be. There’s a gun behind every blade of grass in America, the only thing protecting the rich right now is propaganda. But the second people start getting hungry it’s over for them.
Right wing?! LMFAO I’m an anarcho communist you can’t get much further left. My so called “extremism” was warning of right wing violence ahead of it happening and saying we need more Luigi’s because we’ve tried changing things the civil way. Civil rights weren’t won without violence. Being against capitalism is a threat to the corporate social medias profits and the interests they represent. The tech industry is so obviously fascist I don’t understand how people aren’t seeing things for what they are. Fucking unbelievable.
Typical sniveling liberal. All you’ve got is vote harder. what, for the friendly fascists with their BLM and rainbow flags confirming trumps nominees in total complicity? Fuck outta here.
Blue MAGA liberal fucking cope. Grow up. Stop being played like a fool. You vote blue no matter who team sports liberals are at fault for not stopping fascism, not the completely shunned and mostly eradicated (our civil rights leaders assassinated by the FBI) actual left.
Y’all couldn’t even hold a fucking primary. So much for “protecting democracy” 🙄🙄🙄 the democrats lost because they’re not a real opposition party, they’re controlled opposition on behalf of their capitalist donors and simply play the good cop routine on the spiraling collapse towards fascism. They’re collaborators, not allies despite their fucking messaging.
I said nothing about voting, nor am I a liberal. Read up on what "Divide and conquer" is and realize that you have fallen for it.
I vote Orange. The Liberals are Red, and the Conservatives are Blue. This is because I am a proud fucking Canadian and not an ignoramus from the US.
The fact that wasn't clearly obvious to you proves you are a bad faith troll or bot posting where you do not belong.
Kindly see yourself the fuck out.
I’m referring to American politics since that’s what this is about. 🙄
My criticism of liberals and the utterly irredeemable democrat party they support is coming from the left not the right. 🙄
Based on further interaction I am going to pat my own back and be done with you.
Have fun being ignorant and angry.
What’s your solution if you were American? Vote for the democrats, who confirm trumps nominees and enact many of the same terrible policies? Your only solution is vote harder. Vote harder doesn’t fucking work.
