The only hope is when things take a turn, they take a turn in our favor. And I don’t hold much hope for that, we’ve been at war and the rest of the country is pretending there isn’t one

This fact doesn’t really invalidate the initial statement though.
We would not be experiencing what we are currently experiencing presently if the Dems won. This isn’t an endorsement of the Dems, just reality
I view voting as a means to steer us to possibilities. Revolution and change won’t come through the ballot box but who gets voted in can influence that one way or another.
Can a true patriot please put this neanderthal back into the cave where she belongs?
Right, and they are tried in an unfair judicial system and sent to American prison. This is bad, but not sending people to El Salvador without trial to die levels of bad. These things aren’t equal and to imply it is is disingenuous
This isn’t happening
Accelerationism is happening towards fascism. This would be a different story if socialism was on the rise with parallel structures in place to rescue us during the collapse
Literally this is not happening nor will happen. Not even close, it blows my mind other leftists think fascism provides opportunity. “Things are going to be great after this is all said and done!” As we’re rounded up and deported to El Salvador
Everyone is so used to consuming news not necessarily as entertainment but as background hum or as ammunition to confirm their ideology or dispel another. This isn’t wrong per se, but I think the consequence of constant barrage of war, disaster, tragedy, corporate abuse, political abuse at home and abroad desensitizes people to the possibility that these things can happen to them tomorrow right outside their front door.
They’re so used to the idea that theoretically the government has always been able to do whatever it wants to you they don’t realize how viscerally real it is that now they can do it without making excuses or cover ups, or under any pretense, and not only will no one do anything but millions will support the regime while you’re black bagged without due process. Authoritarian violence in America was always bad, but at least there had to be an excuse, a judicial system set up to defend cops who lie and say they felt threatened. Soon they will be brazen enough to snatch you up without pretense of a crime, without anyone knowing and without needing to explain themselves
They don’t realize how viscerally bad it will be for them when war breaks out no matter which side of that war they are on. Accelerationists are fucking clowns and they are not prepared for the world they’ve been jerking off to.


This works in a functioning society where court orders are followed, laws are followed, institutions aren’t gutted and the executive isn’t seizing control of elections. Sure in normal times let them hang themselves.
But this time is different. Even if the maga cult turns, they actually aren’t affected by bad policy, blunders, unconstitutionality, economy, polling … They’re in and they’re in for life unless they’re removed by force


This is insane.
Even if this was actually what people wanted, how do you just roll over for fascism? What fucking bizarre outlook.
This isn’t tit for tat, left of center versus right of center boring politics. We’re not getting fair elections anymore, and it wouldn’t matter if 99% of the people voted their rights away, doesn’t mean I have to surrender mine peacefully


The only hope I have is a coup.
Impeachment isn’t enough
Obviously the system should be fixed and charity isn’t a solution, but wouldn’t it be cool if a wealthy person or organization or “company” just bought all these houses to solve homelessness?
Even those leaders are just avatars of the shared humanity they lead and represent, they persist only as a creation of a shared culture and by permission of those people whether or everyone involved is cognizant of the fact.
The masses create everything, even those leaders because nothing exists in a vacuum


I think what may make this different from that is chuds could see the fact that their king did whatever he wanted with those top secret documents as his right.
This was incompetently handled active war planning. This can and should spook even those chuds
They’ll just say he’s the antichrist and that’s a good thing because they want to be raptured sooner rather than later
You literally can’t educate this person. They’re either an idiot or arguing in bad faith. Only one way to deal with them
Also the clown whose name is literally “proletarians must suffer”
They would rather everything, everyone die before giving a single stolen penny back to the people, even if that means they also die
