Can someone ask Karl if he has firebombed any Walmarts yet?

I don't want to be part of any protest my mom might attend.

Donald Trump was the greatest thing to happen to these poasters' lives and they'll be damned if they let it end.

“There are no midterms coming. Peaceful protest alone won't stop this.”

Karl fantasizing about violence while knowing damn well if something pops off he won’t be on the front lines cause he’ll be too busy poasting about it.

IIRC isn't he safely ensconced on TERF island?

bornonagreenlight.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think he’s in Minneapolis.

socialconcarne.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't have voter records for Minnesota so I can't check, but public info says he lives in Hopkins, Minnesota (suburban town west of Minneapolis)

Didn't that guy create some fake research institute so he can call himself an academic?

It’s extremely revealing that his reaction to the protests getting a bigger crowd is “no that’s bad it needs to stay smaller/more exclusive.” Just doing the complete opposite of what it takes to build the bigger coalition required for having real political influence

russellcohn.bsky.social•1 day ago

But they might be cringe which is worse than fascism

underhizzy.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's par for the course though. One thing I noticed this past election cycle is exactly how uninterested people like this are in forming coalitions. They'd rather see the world burn so they can excoriate anyone who would potentially be on their side.

supremerobo.bsky.social•1 day ago

They don't want to have real political influence. They want to rule the ashes

apparatchikwannabe.bsky.social•1 day ago

really they want people in the future to jack off to them like they jack off to their favorite failed movements

Its so much easier to tear down than to build.

thatladytanja.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yup. Also look up Corbyn cult in UK.

nuclearneo577.bsky.social•1 day ago

He's saying this as if most normie libs aren't also furious with the inaction of most Democratic party higher ups. Ken Martin isn't only hated by leftists right now, a lot of liberals liked David Hogg's idea of trying to get rid of 80 year old Democrats.

exxzackly.bsky.social•1 day ago

What a dumb idiot :P

Stop being a political hipster and leave Brooklyn, you dumb millennial white guy

(Not you Nied, ofc, lol)

underhizzy.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is some dipshittery if I ever saw it. Here I am, imploring the liberals to stop making dumb decisions, like getting rid of David Hogg. This kind of post is the same energy, except it's coming from a Leftist.

nied.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's because they ARE nervous these protests will boost liberals & Democrats.

cheetahqueen74.bsky.social•1 day ago

I noticed a long time ago that the same people who complain about liberals never making real change when they have power are the first to shit on them and their efforts when they do gain power and make real change with it.

scohoe.bsky.social•1 day ago

I laughed at a post about how these protests make more red voters because that was not true in 2020 when they were using the same footage they're using now.

fascismheckler.bsky.social•1 day ago

and that was when the protests were more against police in general. This protest is squarely on Trump and Republicans, it's MUCH MORE DAMNING

sorryforlaughing.bsky.social•1 day ago

I thought it was good that "No Kings" signs are showing up in my über-normie suburban neighborhood but always happy to be corrected!

alexflexnelson.bsky.social•1 day ago

We will never achieve a movement of the masses if we are co-opted by the masses.

thatladytanja.bsky.social•1 day ago

This!!!

guiltypanacea.bsky.social•1 day ago

Does he want to be part of a unified collective front against fascism or have a useless hipster event that makes him feel cool as an individual?

I answered my own question

nied.bsky.social•1 day ago

So did he!

anglerfish.bsky.social•1 day ago

I had to block him im sorry i cant do this anymore LOL

ilarias.bsky.social•1 day ago

THAT’S ALL THEY DO! IT’S LITERAL PROJECTION! PROTESTING FOR AESTHETICS BUT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE AESTHETICS OF SUCCESSFUL NON-VIOLENT MASS PROTESTS! WTAF!? These people are so mind numbingly arrogant and the worst part is they haven’t done *anything* to deserve a shred of their ego. AHHH

nickwidzowski.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not for nothing, but wasn’t he finally coming around to admitting that cringe lib things like dressing up in historical outfits creates a powerful and compelling visual? I doubt hardcore leftists will be rocking tricornes anytime soon.

ironbound.bsky.social•1 day ago

God what a pathetic loser

maximumeffort433.bsky.social•1 day ago

They sound kind of nervous that these protests might boost support for liberals and Democrats, so they're trying to convince people that protesting is pointless.

Cynicism once again taking a shit in the punch bowl so that no one will want to drink the punch.

fascismheckler.bsky.social•1 day ago

after Harris lost, they were GIDDY and went on a "DEMOCRATS ARE DYING BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LISTEN TO US" tour. They don't want to admit it but at this point, they're more interested in telling Democrats why they should let them be in charge than actually doing good

ventybones.bsky.social•1 day ago

What if the real fascism... Was conformity 😔😔😔
