Bad is a relative concept subject to many interpretations... except when talking about the left. By definition, they're bad and their badness made me do it.
Depicted, the left:
Anyone who wants to fight fascism should be welcomed, and anyone wanting to continue grinding old axes or undermine those trying to resist fascism need to grow the fuck up.
My obligation to fight fascism will NOT include donating any further to the ineffective worthlessness that is today’s Democratic Party.
Our obligation is altered . . . by our leadership’s abject failure. We have to try something different
AND THEY ARE NOT.
In the US dark shit is on the rise - they want to do what they said, and they follow a highly intelligent playbook - first create the idea of an empire, then use it to consolidate power.
The tech billionaires had been critical with their information infrastructure.
Both left and right politicians are bad people and the left likes neither. The left also doesn’t like nazis. I don’t understand how either of those are conflicting statements when they both have the same point of keeping crooks out of power.
Is that the context, because his post is woefully missing it? Is this about being angry at the Democratic party for not doing their job as an oppositional party, it seems like an on-point critique to me.
It would be great if “fascism is bad” was the starting point for everyone who isn’t currently a billionaire. It’s not been a few days and literally everything is worse except for those pardoned and the billionaires. We’re all toast.
Sure. But we can disagree as to the efficacy of the “do everything the left likes and win every election” strategy espoused by much of the left, which is where most of my current beefs are.
Been thinking about techies liking Trump b/c the youths baffle them and, I mean, my kids laughed at me when I asked what skibidi means and I still don't want to vote for fascists! You can be an out-of-touch old and still be a decent person! (Although I suspect skibidi is a gang thing)
Yeah man do you see how it goes the other way around? Cause I see a lot of leftists saying “not me not my fault for not voting, shitting TikTok-addled diarrhea into the discourse”
"The left" aint trying to kill my kid. It is *because* I take my moral responsibility seriously that I cannot ever again tolerate the "Neville Chamberlains" in the Dem party, tho.
People who "reach across the aisle" to people who want to kill my kid are my enemies now too.
Far worse than Chamberlain. He at least invested in a massive rearmement campaign to get Britain in a state to actually win the war he hoped wouldn't come.
The opposition doesn't seem to have a viable plan B if it turns out, shock horror, it's orange man actually bad.
Entirely this. The time to make it clear you're done with their bullshit is NOW, not when they've decided oh look, here's Nancy Pelosi running in 2028 on a "let's just go back to Biden" platform because "Orange Man Bad". We need a third party that cares about Americans.
This is not the end. Fuck that, I have a kid in danger.
This is the beginning of a real ass fight. I am not against teams, because teamwork is how to win fights. I just aint gonna tolerate shitty teammates for another gddmnd second.
Let me rephrase, we're historically on a tipping point like in Weimar Berlin, or pre-Revolutionary France. When the system as we knew it crashes hard, entirely.
And by "team" I mean branding. "Cannot criticize that politician, that's OUR team". Whataboutism nonsense. Not opposed to working together
Yes but did you consider, the Left was rude to me after I called them infantile third-party cretins? I therefore have no choice but to become literally Hitler.
Neoliberals believe in property rights, not human rights. Some of them do an impressive Human Rights Performative Dance number when they need to fundraise for reelection tho.
That's a little different. That's the kind of shit they're pulling in New Zealand right now claiming "We just want everyone to have equal rights under the law!" etc.
"We respect EVERYONE's basic human right to live an economically liberal judeo-Christian english-speaking society!"
I don't know why it's so incredibly vague it can mean anything is he talking about the left as in people who voted third party or is he talking about libs who supported the President while illegally funding a genocide? One I can get behind the other I absolutely will not.
Of course I'm pretty far left, especially in the US, but most people on The Left try to pretend I'm not because we have a difference of opinion in how to get where we want to be.
On one hand a paramilitary force is being established and lead by the President to prosecute his political enemies but on the other hand there's some whiny bitches over there
Coming here as a non twitter person I find these imaginary arguments with people who talk like “the left” is a football team or something really weird. Isn’t fascism just bad? Or did I miss the point?
There is an online/media ecosystem, from The Young Turks to The Gray Zone to a mini-punditocracy to BernieBros to randos that focuses much more on what they don't like about Center-Left Corporate Dems than on the bigotry, brutality and authoritarian institutional violence of Trumpism.
Ya, and what exactly did the left do? Because as someone seated in that section I don’t see too much. The idea that we have to find bad things the left has done to justify attacking the MAGA, 2025 bunch, is just stupid. A study found that socialists are the most reliable truth tellers.

Some of us do need to realize though, that our single issue voting actively assisted in getting us where we are.

AI and robots till 2040...
Literally nobody wants that AI nonsense, but these guys bet the farm on it and badly need the capital. It's a Faustian bargain.
It will be interesting to see let me know when it happens

Dems fight or gtfo

PERIOD.
Fake ass leftists whose entire bag is taking a shit on AOC, for example, can get fucked. I aint asking for purity, Im asking for fight.
I'm not about branding, or "your team" vs "my team".
We are so far BEYOND politics, here, it's scary. Historically speaking, this is The End.

Too much at stake.

"We respect EVERYONE's basic human right to live an economically liberal judeo-Christian english-speaking society!"
To many people have lost their way.
I do what I can to fight fascism because it's the right thing to do regardless of who is with me in the fight and who is sitting on the sidelines.
I'm fine with their scorn.
Hate = Strength
Oppression = Security
Violence = Violence
Abuse = Abuse
It didn’t work then. It won’t work now.
