I’m officially done with Reddit. I’m sure I’m late to this party but apparently saying “I hope the flu finishes him [Mitch McConnell] off” is a threat of violence that is ban worthy
But people can post actual Nazi memes all over the site and its totally fine
Yes. Or more specifically the international corporate bourgeoisie. Or the billionaire class. That’s why I think it’s more useful today to just say “billionaire”
It’s not that liberals believe in nothing. It’s that liberals have a very contradictory world view. They want peace, love, decency, etc. but not at the cost of actually changing the status quo.
As other users have said in this thread, liberals are actually white/western supremacists who think they are loving and tolerant. So the vast majority of their beliefs amount to nothing in the end because they have no desire to remove existing power structures
It’s also why liberals always get rolled by fascists. They think fascists want to play by these silly social niceties and therefore legitimize hateful and down right ridiculous ideas from fascists
Thank you Michael Parenti for being a trail blazing lecturer for us American comrades especially to unlearn and deconstruct the layers of bourgeois propaganda.
Everytime this happens I keep wondering what it will take to convince the majority of westerners that the West and especially the US are the global aggressors. Liberals seem to be actually praising Trump for this, which of course isn’t a surprise
I came to the Deprogram because of watching Hakim’s videos but I’ve really become a major fan of the program because of Yugopnik. The guy is just hilarious and has some really great analyses
I’m at a complete loss for how to bring these people into ML communities. I’ve tried so many different approaches and even the radlibs just stop listening the moment you poke holes in their idealism
What the utility in saying this? I mean yeah, no shit, things can get worse but they actively have been getting worse for a very long time now. Right wingers being genuinely scared is a good thing. You should be scared to hold hateful beliefs
The juxtaposition of Hasan on one end and Yugopnik on the other is really something. I don’t at all blame Hasan for his reaction. This guy has already been harassed by American law enforcement
This man cheered on genocide. He downplayed the deaths of children in school shootings and moments before the clip was spreading more BS claims about trans people being mass shooters.
It amazes me that people can think Big Pharma is ripping them off and selling them a vaccine they don’t need while also believing that socialized medicine would be the worst thing to ever happen.
Like imagine being able to just believe doctors because they aren’t trying to make money off you
This is why I simply don’t argue with so called “libertarians.” They think they are educated from a few Ron Paul clips on YouTube and some thinly veiled anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
