Oooh. What song? The only thing I have in my list from Bright Eyes is At The Very Bottom of Everything.

Imagine having 4 years to prepare

With all the state apparatus behind them announcing day and night that Trump was "literally the worst human bean ever"

Basically all the universities and all the highly educated population by their side

With massive approval from their voter base

With huge sums of money for propaganda in the private media.

With all the considerably large powers of the current executive

Able to pass laws

Able to influence worldwide political movements to bash their opposition at any time through grants

Able to start or stop wars worldwide should the need arise

And they still lost to Trump LMAO 🤣

... then claim the other leftist making an edgy joke at the age of 14 is a proof they were the real fascist.

If anyone disagrees:

Kronstadt

Spanish Civil War

Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact

The War in Ukraine

Etc.

The Soviet Union did more to stop the fascists than anyone else, and 27 million people in the Soviet Union were killed in the fight.

Our choices were Fascism or Corporatism. Why wouldn't we blame the parties?

That's what I would do lmao. Fuck that guy

People don't consider that there are worse things than going out in a gun battle. Much much worse.

It kind of has a double meaning. One side is someone who believes in like democracy, freedom, human rights, and the other side is someone who believes in private property. For historical reasons, the two tendencies are like joined together on most things, but there are differences.

A lot of leftists don't like liberals because they defend private property and capitalism, but a lot of liberals see themselves as leftists because of those progressive values.

Whether or not a liberal is left wing very much depends on the liberal. Every socialist was once a liberal, whether they were political or not. Conservatives are a kind of liberal, but with the progressive parts removed so it only defends private property.

capitalism is really good at like hiding away its injustice behind contracts and laws, a socialist would see those laws as unjust and want to do radical reforms up to and including overthrow of the ruling billionaires. a liberal might not see the injustice, or if they do, tend to want to stick to courts and reforms because it does contain elements of fairness and justice. liberal justice is more fair than feudal justice, but less than what many socialists would like.

The meme is a reference to the idea that social democracy, liberalism and fascism are all different aspects of capitalism.

Anyone who supports capitalism.

Here's a reasonably quick read, 300 pages, going over what major liberal philosophers believed and how they managed various contradictions of liberalism.
