Goes pretty hard ngl
Treating communism as an outside contex problem akin to aliens is hilarious
It’s even more funny when you think about what they’re excluding. Apparently communism is an outside natural disaster, but fascism isn’t? An absolutely mind-blowing way of looking at the world
Facism is as American as apple pie, the Europeans were just copying our homework.
makes a kind of sense. fascism is the natural consequence of america, while communism in america would require a) neostalin not stopping ever ever at all ever or b) a literal miracle
it’s essentially the ur-fascist position
An outside context problem is something so outside your culture/frame of reference it’s impossible to predict beforehand or combat when it arises.
An Outside Context Problem was the sort of thing most civilisations encountered just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop.
Which I fucking wish
nice now I can give the word “ontological” a rest.
What do you think all the alien invasion movies, that were so popular during a certain period of history, were an allegory for?
So they’re saying communism is natural?
They’re saying they can’t stop us
Comparable to a wildfire that clears the dead brush, in fact
This is why gay liberation is only possible under communism, we need to team up with the communists to summon a hyper-hurricane to wipe out our oppressors.
They’d actually go through with firing a nuke at a hurricane if this were to happen.

✋ Communists 🤚Sometimes I do feel like a disaster ngl
I have one even better, communist aliens
From the dust jacket blurb in the latest edition “A Toddler’s Guide to the American Civic Religion”
Your lack of dialectics is disturbing.
Moving over to the Spectre Overlay now we can see communism fomenting in the south east forming a solid bloc of resistance in the everglades, so if you’re out fishing stay outside the red flags and try to avoid direct contact with wild Maoists.
Heading up from there however its bright sunny days for the great white north west as rays of benevolent sunshine wash away the last of the season’s proletarian struggle as markets open back up. Over to you Rob.

That’s right, I’m outside of your control
Not much I can do with that, there’s an ocean in the way
This is something I’ve spoken about before, but this is how people in the west, the US especially, are trained to view communism/communists. Not as political theory, not as ideas, not as people following those ideas, but as some kind of outside force, some sort of satanic temptation that can only corrupt and destroy, that will emerge from outside and consume all until nothing is left.
In school I remember being very confused by the idea of “domino theory” that as one nation after another “falls” to communism it will spread one by one to the next nation, like dominoes knocking each other over, and yet, there was no mechanism for why this happens, it just happens despite communism being obviously bad and obviously horrible and no one ever wanting it or wanting communists to show up, they just kind of appear like an alien invasion out of nowhere and force communism upon everyone.

The will of the masses is a monster that only occasionally approximates a few of the interests of rational individuals. Many factors probably including the failure to expand the size of Congress as the country grows much larger and money in politics, especially after Citizens United, have broken down the system intended to control this monster, and now the Internet has given a small number of wealthy people unprecedented power to shape and direct the passions and factionalism of the masses however they choose on an extremely granular level. The concept of a Republic and representative democracy clearly needs to be updated with new safeguards and controls for the modern world. In theory the US Constitution was supposed to be adaptive to these kinds of things, but there was always a chance that it could not adapt fast enough to save us. The feeling of fighting against a tyrannical majority instills counterproductive hopelessness to fix these kinds of issues, but if there is enough persistent demand from the people for big changes like Amendments, they will eventually be taken seriously and the people might still be able to save the system from the manipulated masses.
Who wants to tell this guy that the Constitution was created by a planter aristocracy to suppress the power of the masses and that actual government policies are completely out of line with what most people want
“save the system from manipulated masses” and they call us the dictators

Yes, the internet. That’s what did this. Capitalism was still good in the 90s when I was a child and didn’t know about the harsh realities of life/was a baby without object permanence. It only got bad once the internet really started catching on.
