They are talking about striking in the national media, a conversation started by an Alexander-Hamilton-moderate-conservative. This is it, it has hit the mainstream media and word is getting out to the people that aren’t necessarily in the 50501, and like organizations, loop.

People are products of their culture and the material conditions that they live under. So, we have two choices: we can either take a hands-off, or laissez-faire, approach and allow conditions to change organically and just accept any political or social changes that might come about, or we can take a more direct approach and try to change the conditions that people live under, and the culture, in such a way that will make something like the Trump movement much less likely to emerge. But, the second option probably won’t just happen, spontaneously or organically, it would probably require a fairly heavy handed, top down approach. I know many people are quite apprehensive about that, so that approach would likely be quite controversial.
So, what’s it going to be? Let things just play out organically and see what happens, and accept that the outcome may or may not be desirable, or try to steer the course of US society more directly and deliberately?
Time to go off the rails
There are demonstrations this Saturday, David. Hope we see you there.
him first.
A more onion-y title would be something like “Conservative commentator quotes Marx, calls for mass protests and strikes”.
The actual title is more just !ironicorsurprisingnews than !nottheonion material imo
Edit: You’ve editorialized the title?
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from…
- …credible sources, with…
- …their original headlines, that…
- …would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Unless it was changed post-publication, the original is
Conservative NYT Columnist David Brooks Calls for ‘National Civic Uprising’ to Defeat Trumpism – Complete With ‘Mass Rallies, Strikes’
Imo that’s actually more onion-y than the changed title
The difference between a shithead like this, and any and all sane people, is that sane people could see this unnecessary shitstorm approaching from afar, while these stunted minds only seem to be able to see things only after things smack then in the face.
Fuck him, all his ilk and the greedy, myopic, ignorant goddamned boat they rode one.When we need to unite against a literal fascist, I’ll gladly stand with conservatives with whom I have serious policy disagreements. Telling them to fuck off will just strengthen Trump’s hold.
Once we’ve finished the fight against the MAGA cult, we can debate each other about policy without worrying about anyone getting disappeared.
We will need less insane conservatives on our side to correct this big orange mistake, so let’s not fuck him for the moment.
While I agree, you’re assuming the opportunity to fuck him won’t pass once moment is over and he won’t be enshrined as “one of the good ones” and allowed to continue making big, colorful mistakes so long as they aren’t orange ones.
Brooks is probably fairly wealthy. He should put his money where his mouth and start filling some strike funds.
