And just who are you to presume to correct anybody’s point of view? Because telling me that commies and fascists like to send people to gulags is doing nothing to change
anybody’smy mind.
Fixed that for you.
From the sound of it, you seem content with letting Trump be dictator and do whatever he wants, so why are you arguing with me? Shouldn't you be off praising Dear Leader Trump for making the country great again?
Yeah if you think Bush was an acceptable choice and not a fascist then you don’t really have a leg to stand on with this “commies love gulags” nonsense.
I don't really care if some commie doesn't think I have a leg to stand on.
You think this El Salvador shit is new?
Yes, abducting US citizens and gulag'ing them is new... But if you're a commie, let's be real: The only thing you're mad about is that your side isn't the side doing the gulag'ing. Just admit it: You'd love to see someone like me be "disappeared" with no trial whatsoever.
Y'know, maybe if you all didn't spend so many years calling Bush and conservatives all Nazis during that era, maybe people wouldn't roll their eyes the moment you call out actual Nazis nowadays.
It's like you people never heard the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf or something.
You’re trying to argue the status quo to people who saw what the status quo was since Reagan, but you still don’t get it.
LMAO that old Democrat "status quo" is dead and never coming back, so by your own logic you should be celebrating and praising the MAGA Lord and Savior, Donald Trump, for killing it.
Lemmy is full of people who want to actually discuss ways to have a better world,
unlike you it seems lmao.and I am not one of them. I'm just here to sling insults and be nasty to people.
Fixed that for you. You sure you aren't MAGA?
I’m so glad my consistent votes for democrats over my life have definitely not lead me to the precipice of fascism… oh wait.
LMAO from the sound of it, fascism is something you want. After all, you seem to believe those Democrats were just the worst leaders ever: Therefore, to you, Trump must be an improvement from the "status quo" you hated so much.
How would Harris have been better for Palestinians?
LMAO Trump has pretty much let Netanyahu off the leash and is going to turn Gaza in to a hotel and resort. If you can't figure out how this is the worst scenario for the Palestinians then you aren't intelligent enough to be discussing this matter.
She was part of an admin that was assisting their genocide
Lmao I’ve never seen someone so explicitly accept that they picked their ideology out at the supermarket.
And you still haven't, because they don't sell ideologies in supermarkets.
Let me put it this way: Democrats are weak and useless, and - let's be real - I'm a white man, so most of them don't want me around and don't have any respect for me.
Furthermore, there are many, many American voters out there who will simply not vote for a Democrat no matter what. Therefore, I've come to the conclusion that it's more constructive to try and persuade Republican voters to vote Libertarian instead of MAGA, rather than work with commies and Democrats who don't really even want me around in the first place.
“I like being a libertarian because
it allows me to be selfish, ignorant and rude while still feeling morally justified in all my actions”at least I know my party is a fucking joke, unlike those weak, useless Democrats and fascist Republicans who wouldn't know what 'freedom' actually was if it bit them in the ass.
Fixed that for you.
The White Army was a group loyal to the Tsar and blah blah blah commie BS
My man, I am a libertarian. Fuck whatever your interpretation of a big government utopia is, because it is most likely wrong.
That being said, I am fully aware of the flaws in my ideology - and there are many - but I enjoy libertarianism because it allows me to tell people like you to "GET OFF MY LAWN!" and not feel morally wrong for it.
Hey, beats being a fucking commie.
Yeah if you think Bush was an acceptable choice
Compared to Trump? Absofuckinglutely. Bush had no desire to be a dictator. Trump absolutely has ambition to be a dictator, and if you can't figure out how one of those is worse than the other then you're too clueless to participate in an adult conversation regarding this topic.
Additionally, who is that “boring liberal republic” better for?
Certainly not Palestinians. Certainly not for union workers on our rail lines. Not for people becoming houseless. Not for queer people. Not for indigenous peeps, eitherDefinitely Palestinians. Definitely union workers. Definitely homeless. Definitely queer people. Definitely indigenous people.
Fixed that for you.
If Kamala Harris had won, literally all the groups you just mentioned would be far better off than under a literal fascist dictatorship which Trump's lackeys want to establish.
Honestly? I'm starting to believe lemmy is, like reddit, filled with a bunch of clueless college kids who haven't set foot in other parts of the world and have no idea what it's like to live under a dictatorship, and thus take the rights and freedoms they have completely for granted.
Sadly, Trump is about to teach us all a lesson in authoritarianism - You, myself, and everyone else on the planet.
Well, yes. Thats the whole idea of grades.
Not trying to talk shit, but I believe you misunderstand how grades like that work on a larger scale.
If a teacher flunks one or two kids, that means there's a problem with those one or two kids.
If a teacher flunks every kid in the school, that means there's a problem with the teacher and/or the school.
Make sense?
The problem
isnt commie guy, it’s all the other brainless sheep who keep voting for the same two parties who don’t represent themis definitely commie guy for not understanding that a boring and flawed neoliberal Democrat is preferable to a fascist dictatorship.
Fixed that for you.
Consider this: if all the people forced to vote opted to vote someone else, then the Dems would really understand why they’re failing, and more, you’d have the basis for an actual third party to from.
Wrong answer. That made sense under Clinton vs Bush or Obama vs Romney, not nowadays. We can "consider" your proposal when there's not a damn fascist dictator threatening to send US citizens to an El Salvadorian gulag for disagreeing with the President.
Then again, commies tend to love gulag'ing people who disagree with them, just ask Stalin... So maybe commie guy sees the gulags as a good thing?
Thank you, and I fully agree. I truly hope we're not so far down that path that bringing these boys back to sanity is impossible. Liberal western society spent a lot of time neglecting these boys, and that's ruined a ton of trust these boys once had in society.
Literally all that right-wing extremists like Tate had to do is tell these boys, "Hey, everyone seems to think you're the problem. I'm here to tell you that you aren't a problem - rather, they are the problem, and here's how to deal with them and get yourself ahead" and before you know it, they were eating out of the palm of his hand.
It's pretty clear to me that looking at boys as "the problem" instead of as human beings has a lot to do with the mess we're in right now.
LMAO you can't seem to make up your mind as to whether or not you're going to take being called a communist as an insult or a compliment.
Seems you can't even figure out if you're mad or not. Maybe figure that out first, before continuing this conversation.
