Germany, Israel, Brazil, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet, Russia, Hungary, Poland, Philippines…need we go on?

But why is there such this defeatist attitude any time someone remotely not terrible tries to do something? It’s like we’re doing the fascists work for them with talk like this. I get that fuckery happens any time someone kinda different or kinda maybe good (for a politician) steps up, but that can be overcome with more support. When the margins are thin, it’s easy for them to cheat. When they aren’t, it’s fucking not. So let’s stop making the margins tighter with this kind of talk

Media blackout. Only focus on the response to his ideas so it seems like the wave is against him and his ideas only exist to be opposed. When they spread his ideas people like them. When you only frame them by how much backlash they receive, it seems like they’re crazy

And this is the problems with liberals when it comes to fascism. They try to find a middle ground between “let the fascists trample free speech,” a right on which their entire ideology is founded (or so they say), and “don’t upset the fascists.”

That is a lose-lose. If you refuse to piss off fascists, you support the fascists. Capitalist institutions won’t ever side with us. Because their market relies on fascists to watch, which they clearly say here.

Oh Jesus. I mean, I’m with you that the Democratic Party is rotten. And I agree no politician will save us. But even a progressive dem is better than anything else we have on offer.

I get it, voting itself is tainted, politics are completely off the rails, dems are nothing but pink republicans…but Jesus. Let us at least get someone who doesn’t have their head so far up corpo’s ass that might be able to put a dent in the way the game is played. I bet you have something to say about mamdani too?

Say what. No one I know has ever gone down that route. Anarchism is the furthest reach from ancap or sovcit.

I guess I and my friends have the antidote: read some actual theory. You couldn’t possibly agree with theory then go ancap. Sounds like you’re describing YouTube anarchists.

You win, you outstupided my stupid.

Try anarchism. Goes down smooth

This was foretold. Early in this fuckstick’s presidency, they changed the rules about what they can do to “terrorists.” I don’t remember the specifics, but basically making it so they can go all secret police on them. I think it was one of the earliest EOs.

And the author of this article I read was saying “this is a dangerous step, because the next block to fall is trump labeling ‘antifa’ a terrorist org and throwing anyone he wants into a deep dark hole.”

Looks like it only took less than a year. Full-on fascism.

That’s honestly exactly what I was thinking. Maybe it was the silhouette photo that brought it to mind

But this kind of sounds exactly like the rationale these tech bros use to claim they know more than everyone and “these plebs just don’t understand”

There have been numerous apparent lynchings in recent years. But they always say “no foul play expected”

Nah, we immediately think of lynchings.

Mainly my music. I’ve long thought about a dumb phone to avoid gps tracking everywhere as well as the spyware built in and the needless looking at it all the time. But music and podcasts need to come with me wherever I go. So I’d be carrying something akin to a smart phone around anyway. Doesn’t really side step the problem effectively.

With the right tools, yes. I could vape you.

Fuentes is known for his white supremacist, misogynistic, homophobic and antisemitic views that he promotes on his podcast. Despite those views, he was famously invited, alongside controversial rapper Kanye West, to dinner with President Donald Trump in 2022.

There is no reported evidence that Fuentes was involved in Kirk’s death. Fuentes did ask his followers to pray for Kirk’s soul on Wednesday following his death.

It’s an abdication of duty to not have the added context, when mentioning his homophobia, of that time he accidentally streamed gay porn and then blamed…Hezbollah? If I’m remembering that part correctly? Hilarious, but should also be permanently part of the description of who he is, along with the whole invited to the White House thing.

He also said “liking girls is gay.” Dudes def gay. Didn’t he have a little boyfriend/pet with him everywhere for a while?
