It’s hard to overstate how true this statement is

Like of course racism is a huge issue in America and other European countries (not letting them off the hook here a lot of the anti woke commentary resides there) and that is where this comes from, but the outrage this game and others receive isn’t organic.

So much money, effort and planning goes into manufacturing outrage that I don’t believe you can feel strongly about these things and be “normal.” These people are consuming media from ecosystems that are made to keep them mad and to feed them propaganda. It is no different with maga and fake news or really any other ideology that requires people to fully buy in and accept a reality that doesn’t exist.

Honestly as a socialist that sounds fucking awful. Sounds like a formula for people to be ruled by miniature cults.

Even if you truly believe this, the communities of fascists would just impose fascism on you.

How the hell do Elon and other oligarchs feel so safe to call for a literal civil war? He thinks the other side cares more about fighting Joe Bob more than the billionaires? Such strange delusional behavior

Time to really get to know our communities and our people in the military. The only justice imaginable coming from this is a coup in one form or another to oust them. Anyone in the military that is actually on board with this needs to be purged by the rank and file.

I think the ultimate punishment for all oligarchs and fascists is to live with nothing but their own thoughts as a stimulus. They took the gift of their mind for granted and poisoned it with greed, misinfo and hate. Let them live in it

Brainwashed cult, and unfortunately we don’t have time to deprogram these people

Poor choice of words but I’ve seen it myself. Old divorced racist conservatives literally traveling to Thailand for wives. Their goal is to find subservient women that they can’t get at home. Nothing against the foreigners it’s more and indictment on the American

In general we give people who act stupid way too much credit, they’re actually just fucking stupid.

Conversely, we’re way too comfortable letting politicians play stupid instead of calling them out for their malicious intentions. And if the politician truly is stupid (Trump) there are handlers behind them pulling the strings

Small business people are every bit as insufferable as big business people

Self fulfilling prophecy. It’s a doomsday cult and they’re trying to bring the end times instead of waiting

When they said we’re living in the end times it wasn’t a prediction it was a threat

I also think while yelling racial slurs should not be illegal, organizing and mobilizing under a racist ideology that promises to eliminate free speech should be criminalized. The tricky part is doing it in a way that won’t be abused ie calling things that aren’t racist and supremacist ideology those things to criminalize them.

If only there was an art vs porn emergency button encoded into the law. You just know it when you see it and can call things what they are

Genuinely curious, why are there rich people in China? Or why are the rich allowed to exist?

I still think the distinction matters, fascism is the empire turned inwards.

America exerting fascism on other populations is just textbook liberalism. The facade of democracy and relative peace at home is different than fascism. Fascism demands obedience of the local population and is a full merger of corporation and state. Laws don’t matter, only the head of states will matters.

They’re both bad, but I think it’s disingenuous to tell people who are about to live under fascism that the liberal government they just had was also fascism because they oppressed populations around the globe.

Basically the time for lectures was when we were living under fake “fascism” and the time for gun and survival training is now

I don’t disagree that liberal democracies are capable and have been brutal to their populations, but to say they are just as brutal as fascism is just disingenuous. Contrary to popular belief, the average American does not live day to day in fear that they are about to get fucked by the state for no reason at all, and that’s even acknowledging the measures the state goes to criminalize and punish the most desperate in us society. We don’t fear state repression and death for the wrong opinion, looking a certain way.

It’s even more absurd to conflate fascism with European western democracies with their myriad of safety nets. I think painting things in this light doesn’t make socialism more appealing, just makes fascism look more acceptable and less dangerous.

I agree with critiques on us imperialism and the need for socialism, I just think it’s strange to treat fascism with kids gloves
