Oh, look... a liberal with a dangerously cartoonish understanding of fascism.
Gee, Clyde - didn't you know that "Law & Order" isn't just a tv show that blatantly miseducated you about the function and role of police in the liberal nation state, but also the rallying cry of all fascist states?
You make it so easy for the fascists, don't you, liberal? They just have to package it right, and you'll acquiesce without even a whimper - just like liberals always have, eh?
She has people around her that would call her outthat is as invested in protecting the status quo as she is.
FTFY. I guess that means you don't actually know what role fascism plays in maintaining the liberal order?
Trump doesn’t. That’s the problem.
Oh, absolutely. It's part and parcel of Trump's generalized incompetence. Liberals want the POTUS to do what the US has always done - do fascism outside US borders. Fascists want the POTUS to do fascism inside US borders. Trump is too incompetent to do either. Harris is perfectly competent to do the former - ie, business as usual - which means more colonialism coming home to roost as fascism (as the leftists like to point out) which will find rapid utility protecting the rampant and unrestricted parasitism of runaway "free market" capitalism at the expense of the US working class.
A perfect feedback loop that is delivering predictable results.
Liberals don't care - they have their "good cop" (literally a pig), and they will happily go to sleep after November while Harris and the dems fertilizes the ground further for the fascists.
The police is a fascist institution - so it shouldn't be surprising that they will back someone who is better at regurgitating (and embodying) the fascist dog-whistles fascists wants to hear.
Besides, the term "felon" means absolutely nothing when it is used in connection to a rich white guy - this should also not be surprising in a fundamentally white supremacist society that pathologically worships and fetishizes capitalism.
I hate to break it to you... but Harris is schooled in the nuts and bolts of fascism - unlike Trump, who is merely good at cosplaying as a fascist.
I'm not telling you not to vote for her - you don't really have a choice - but know that everything the libs do at this point is just going to empower the fascists more. It's been a positive feedback loop for a while now.
No. You don't. Your political understanding is based on sloganeering and gaslighting, not actual political ideology.
It's still your choice, of course... you can choose to stick to the comfortable lies Reagan and Thatcher told you and continue to live in a bubble of privilege and paranoia, or you can actually start making sense of what is happening around you.
If the truth tires you, I suggest you work on your intelectual stamina - yours isn't fit for purpose.
Here's some more truth to get you started - the USSR was about as "socialist" as the US is "democratic." Ie, the media and the politicians constantly blast these concepts out as mere buzzwords at full volume, but nobody gets to actually see anything like it in reality that can be called such with a straight face.
Uhh isn’t progressing to electric cars… science progressing to help solve the issue?
No. It isn't.
It's capitalism shifting their private transport scam from an energy source that they exploited the living crap out off to another that they haven't mismanaged into the ground yet.
Hell, Stalin wouldnt be left wing under that definition.
Stalin? The guy who murdered more leftists than the US has managed in all of it's (so-called) "Cold War" terrorism campaigns put together? Is that the Stalin you're talking about?
Your history teachers did a piss-poor job at explaining this stuff, so I'll fix this for you - the Bolsheviks stopped being leftist the minute they tasted power and became the status quo in Russia. Stalin was more of a right-winger than Putin is today. Groups pretending to be leftist until they get their hands on the steering wheel is actually pretty common in modern history - even the Nazis dabbled in it when they added the "S" to their name.
It's not very difficult to understand once you trash all the garbage sloganeering that gets substituted for actual critical political thinking in our so-called "education" systems.
I'll tell you... because in this liberal hive mind called lemmy.world you're not going to find plenty of people who knows.
It doesn't get any simpler than this. What is left or right is dictated by the status quo. That which seeks to dismantle the status quo is left. That which seeks to protect the status quo is right. That's why there is no such thing as a "left-wing" government because all governments have a vested interest in protecting the status quo.
So no... there is nothing "left" about Canadian or European political establishments - they are all invested in protecting the liberal status quo and that makes them all right-wing. They are no less right-wing than the US government is. Pretending to be "nicer" about violently maintaining the status quo does not make a state less right-wing.
Hey, go ahead... take your political ques from liberals - they, after all, have such an amazing track record of acquiesing to - oops, I meant to say "opposing" - fascism as soon as the chips are down.
Good thing the people in the ad is white... if they weren't they would have been shot before the ad team could take the photo.
