I know it’s confusing, but seriously, the DOE is the Department of Energy, please stop calling the Department of Education that.

It still does actually, tanking the resale value will dramatically cut into new car sales. Encouraging current owners to sell absolutely does have an affect.

(It also raises insurance premiums for Tesla’s, also hurting their market)

I mean, I definitely wasn’t implying it was an equal issue lol.

At the risk of saying the dreaded words, both sides honestly have a problem with calling anything they believe to be unjust “illegal” with no real understanding of the law. The key difference being that it’s the fucking president on this side and randoms on the internet and in town halls and in the media saying it on the other.

They get far more money being the foil of leftist movements by making themselves the only option for anything less far right than the conservatives and then paying lip service to the left while continuing to support moderate conservative policy.

Undereducated people who can’t stand the cognitive dissonance of the liberal control of CA, paying lip service to issues that actually affect the working class while enriching the elites, restricting freedom and protecting the stability of the status quo above all.

Pelosi has been a massive driving force in keeping the DNC from getting younger or less neo liberal. She has blocked committee assignments at every turn for more left leaning and younger congresspeople, most famously AOC. She is the head of the Democrat side of the absurdly corrupt insider trading gerentocracy of a Congress we have had for decades. The self enrichment is absolutely disgraceful, paying lip service to left wing causes while actively preventing meaningful left wing movement to take hold in the party and country. She and McConnell are two very effective leaders on either side of the same grifter coin perpetuating American neo liberal imperialism at the expense of the working class worldwide.

You think too much of CA. CA is INCREDIBLY liberal, so much of CA loves her and worships the memory of Dianne Feinstein.

The best thing you can do is to push your state and governor do the same if there’s any chance.

Really not true, there are lots of people that delusionally but genuinely believe in anarcho-capitalism.

Fucking retire you ancient neo liberal ass clowns.

Why are you convinced that all Gen Z listen to that kind of crap and nobody outside of Gen Z does? Generations have little to nothing to do with it.

Fuck off divisive bullshit. Every generation ever has been attempted to be alienated like this, it is just more divide and conquer tactics, do not fall for it. It is still just owning class vs working class.

Do you think Canada is on average that much more leftist than California? Canada has plenty of Trump supporters and they aren’t even US citizens.

It’s literally the Nazi capitalist version of Prora, I can’t.

Damnit, where’s Paige when you need her.

Love that a part of the lasting legacy of 9/11 is that it has become a unit for dead Americans. Anything but metric I guess.

God yes, the graphic design of the early 20th century political movements was so much better though. The three arrows is my favorite by far. Perfect strong symbolism of meaning that still works today Works perfectly without knowing the language or the location, down with monarchs, down with fascists, down with tankies. And perfectly designed with the intent to be used to deface swastikas.

Lol I meant the struggle between trans people and allies vs people who want to exterminate trans people shouldn’t be made out to be a Marxist vs Capitalist struggle, because there’s a lot fewer allies there and there are plenty of trans people who actually are fairly down with at least some amount of capitalism. I’m all for allies showing their allyship in any direction, but don’t make trans rights seem like an issue that is synonymous with more radical movements because that is how you reduce the number of allies you’re going to find.

Ie. we need to band together and save fundamental human rights and democracy first, we can hash out our differences later.

For the sake of optics, I want no confusion that for a random person who doesn’t think they know any trans people, thinking trans people should be left alone and safe doesn’t mean people will assume they are “radical Marxists”

So this is the modern antifa flag used here, it is the red socialist flag overlayed by the black anarchist flag, it is directly based on and referencing this flag Which was the flag of the militant wing of the German Communist party.

I suppose you could say in the original post without the color it becomes more generalist in meaning but I suspect it was just for visual design and not to signal anything more anarchist and less socialist.

Regardless, trans rights should not be synonymous with antifa even if we are allies. The oligarchs are trying very hard to say that trans people are all “radical Marxists” let’s not make it easy for them. We are people just like them, and it isn’t Marxists vs capitalists, it is “we the people” vs “the ruling class of super rich” who want to control our lives and take our freedoms before giving up their domination and it always has been.

Tldr, that flag is antifas, antifa is much easier to villainize than “the trans population”. Antifa is a political direct action group which I support and many do, but many don’t, either because antifa has generally been anti-capitalist and some people really like capitalism (including many trans people) or simply because they just associate antifa with trashing downtowns and rioting and it’s easy to be against those things. It’s an easy target. Don’t make trans people an easier target by lumping together trans rights and antifa as being just the same people.
