Maybe if you'd pick up a goddamn history book you'd see why everyone is saying it isn't hopeless if we fight for our rights

Fascists are bullies. When I was bullied in elementary school, talking to him didn't work, going to the teacher didn't work, they made it worse. What did work was deciding to turn around after he pushed me and punching him as hard as I could. He never so much as said a word to me after that

We're on the list because our very existence is a threat to the ideology at the core of fascism. You can be the "best" queer possible but they'll still want you dead

Also, we had a plan to keep them from getting nukes, that they were fully compliant with, until a certain fuckwad in chief threw the deal away

The better solution is that positions with that much power shouldn't exist in the first place

"Paid in cryptocurrency". What's the bet it'll be the fucking trump crypto?

Also, I'd like to add that before it passed the civil rights act didn't have majority support of the US population. Should they also have just shut up and accepted segregation?

If you're asking people to compromise with people demanding they stop existing you're on the side of the people telling them to stop existing

And yet here we are with fascism creeping in as the wealth gap widens faster than ever

Making a lot of big assumptions. I'm not a fan of us working with the Saudis as well because they're also an oppressive force and also also a major player in global oil trade that's destroying the planet for money. I don't bring them up because they aren't the focus of conversations about Israel
comment in response to

The reason the US and Europe invested so much in Israel in the first place was because they wanted a white center of power in West Asia. So yes, it's rascism

I have. The government sending the military (or cops/feds) to enact violence on people is authoritarian. We've been there from the start, it's just being cranked up lately

RULE OF LAW. come on, it's literally in the words you used to try and downplay it

When you look at it on face value it makes no sense. But when you think of it as their idea of America as great being a white ethnostate it makes complete sense

40 years of liberal/neoliberal economics failing people isn't going to be fixed by a slight spike at the end AFTER the open embrace of fascism has already become mainstream
comment in response to
post
The issue you seem to be overlooking is that fascism grows in the failures of liberalism. Liberal economics leave people behind, those people get angry, and then some dipshit convinces them it's the fault of minorities they can get rid of to make things better

Not really. Dictators usually do both of those things

Because they want Queer people to all just die and pride is a very blatant reminder that we're still here and still finding joy being here

"that whole thing about appealing to the moral conscience of America—America's conscience is bankrupt." Malcolm X was right then and its still true today

Because the protest is peaceful. Violence at them usually happens when the cops start throwing chemical weapons at people

We don't need to send troops to kill people anymore and the drone strike program that Obama launched is proof of that

How are you a teacher if your media literacy is this bad? Nowhere did they say that. They said that liberals and "centrists" like to shit on the left while the problem is actually their own failure to address issues. The solution they offer isn't "be nice to leftists" it's to be better yourself

Agreed

They made it up because IF it were true it would make them look correct. They started with their opinion and are creating justifications for it afterwards

I believe the correct term for their source is "rectal sphincter"

Making some ancestral claim to white savior status isn't the argument you think it is. They don't factor into this at all. What do YOU do to address the systemic injustice that is still happening today? Because the DNC responded to a mass movement to defang the police by giving them MORE money

Making up bullshit numbers and acting like every minority group is a monolith is definitely some shit I'd expect out of a bush republican
comment in response to
post
It's the DNC that continuously shuns the left and instead shifts farther right every election cycle. If you're all turning into bush era Republicans now why should we trust that in another 15 years you won't all be like trump era republicans

There should have been a very aggressive response against genocide and ethnic cleansing all the way back in the 40s when Israel started the nakba and it should have remaining until the genocide and ethnic cleansing stopped.

Because despite all the "don't step on me" shit they talk they actually LOOOOVE the idea of having a strong man tell them how to live, as long as what he says is aimed at hating the same people they do

My dream is to be taxidermied into a pose holding a knife over my head. But since that's apparently "illegal" I just want to be laid out in the roots of a tree

I think they do. I also think this is them letting it slip that it's being developed as military tools

No, they work in support of money. If they did things a majority of people wanted we'd have better healthcare for example
comment in response to

If the DNC did more than lip service for marginalized and oppressed people their voting block would be the most consistent voter turnout you could hope for. But they never actually DO anything substantive and instead just try to lure in Republicans by parroting their platform years later

The only shocking part about it to me is that so few people seem to actually care. Industry and emissions have only been rising

You're either willfully lying or spending way too much time listening to people that lie to you to make money

Because the dipshits that use those as slogans didn't actually care about them, they just use those to "justify" hurting people they see as other
