several hit dogs hollering

I think we might be past the point of even that, a lot of these people seem like they wouldn’t ever criticize their party

Liberals looking at the genocide they wholeheartedly supported

I have some news about Stalin courtesy of, no shit, the CIA

Sam Altman? The guy who’s currently on the wrong side of the dirt for SAing his sister?

Seriously.

What’s authoritarianism, and how does a country do it?

I know when I’m bested.

This is not true

Can you name a single non-“authoritarian” state, please?

They’re still comrades even if they are miss guided

This is unironically the nicest and most reconciliatory anti-tank post I’ve ever seen. We have different assessments but neither of us are writing off the other as stupid or an LLM, which is actually a breath of fresh air. The bar for political discourse may be in hell these days, but I still appreciate your clearing it.

As for where our views diverge, I would like to understand the nature of the divergence. I guess my main question is: what decides your ideology’s position on the spectrum?

FUCK it’s too real

Pillaging of the global south for labor and resources

Folks, the bourgeoisie. They’re no good, more and more people are saying it

All good, I found it perfectly readable

Glorifying, huh? Wow, sounds like a pretty cultisty thing to do, I’m sure you chose that word because it reflects the reality of what you see and not the very convenient reality you wish to project where everyone but the liberal is mentally ill and therefore self-evidently wrong

So let’s see it: show me the glorification. After all, if it’s cringe, don’t you want people to see it?

Seeing “literally” used this way, not as a descriptor but as a seasoning on vibes-based panic, always tickles me

TIL if someone’s saying something that doesn’t agree with your worldview then that person must be an LLM.

Wow, that must be a frustrating thing to experience over and over and over and over and over. You have my sympathy as a comminist on the internet, who could only imagine such treatment

My own father asked me unironically if I was a “Chinese sympathizer” over dinner last night, and that was not the end of it.

Perceived weak points, huh? So the brutal genocide of Gaza is just a little whoopsie that we should.move past? Fuck no. This isn’t weakness or a mistake, this is America pulling off the mask, and anyone making excuses for it this late in the game is close enough to a fascist as makes no difference.

Red fash tankie is when you don’t want these guys to get more tanks. Something something 1984 doublespeak
