In the era of global fascism, satire is dead. These aren’t bad ideas when you don’t care about anything passed your self image, and no one that matters will stand up to you.

They should know by now what a target rich environment for rubes they are. They should, but they don’t. That’s what makes them such good targets.

Something so predictable only a life long Republican would have taken odds against it.

It’s global. El Slalvidor, Argentina, the United States, Russia, China, Hungary, etc etc etc. There’s a plague of people with more material resources than brain cells. And they will gladly sacrifice us all for just a bit more.

Hey if you got any proof of that I’d be willing to see it. I’ve got tons of proof showing he is a weasly dishonest lying manipulator who is out of touch with ethics in general. But you know what they say. Stopped clock right twice a day.

Heh I think that describes most of us on the fediverse and why we are the way we are.

Yep fucking tragic. Though he also isn’t sincere about it. The man holds no significant position other than benefiting himself. As one of his constituents that’s been extremely clear.

LOL as someone with significant autoimmune issues this rings to true.

Absolutely. None of us are immune to propaganda or our own biases.

Fair enough. I can do that as well. Just without all the domain baggage. And if it is something that bothers you. It’s something to look at. Something I saw you actually cop to elsewhere on the topic.

Or Marxism and Marxist-leninist.

Say what you will about Democrats. Outside of the elected ones. Most of them don’t have a strong ideology. Just actually wanting things to improve. But I’m sure of how to go about it. And when you approach them like that. Are plenty likely to be sympathetic and allies.

Yes, Unity cannot be enforced. Unity can only coexist with consent. And those that would violate consent to enforce Unity actually despise both.

Oh God yes Jubilee and that surrounded bs. Though the recent one with Jordan Peterson was somewhat cathartic. Yeah they get some of the most toxic ones.

Yep the majority of them are more like my brother-in-law or my SO. She at least realized back in February the mistake she made. Though I can understand it. As a military daughter who spent her life going from Base to Base as her father moved them around the world. Republican bullshit is sort of ingrained in her family. And she doesn’t actually engage with a lot of the news personally. Instead it gets filtered to her through family.

Brother-in-law came from a privileged bougie family. They own a number of stores in the area. All the fancy tchotchkies as a child. Summers and other regular holidays throughout the year at the lake. Started out from 3rd and thought he made a home run. With a very similar story. Hereditary republicanism. No critical thinking. For One Shining Moment talking about how Democrats and Republicans both suck. On which we could agree. Only to inevitably return back to the Republican talking points. That situation is a whole other shit sandwich unfortunately though.

Anytime. And as to your edit on the previous message always. Never just assume things to be true.

First I agree that marxists are generally chill it’s the hyphenated ones that typically are not. And because we can agree on that. I think we should be able to agree that they aren’t who is being pictured above in the comic.

Perhaps it was misunderstanding, perhaps it was talking past each other. Either way fair enough.

Others get the same treatment. I can count plenty of times where I’ve been told similar because I post from a .world domain. The difference being, of course correct me if I am wrong. That our administrators don’t tend to be as problematic. It isn’t 2019 anymore. ML isn’t the only server. If you are focused on organization and outreach. Maybe it’s worth considering finding a new instance that would would help in fostering that.

As I syndicist I absolutely gave some thought about joining an instance that better reflected my sensibilities. Though some recent events have definitely made me reconsider on that. I honestly think I’m happy an a much more diverse platform. Even if on the fediverse our diversity is pretty homogenic.

They think that “those people” must be controlled and enslaved even for their own good. They have been programmed and indoctrinate so deeply they actually believe that those people are the problem. That it wasn’t systems Etc that kept them disadvantaged and down. But somehow something in there very being

Similar to those sneaky manipulative immigrants. Who are on the whole often far more abiding than your average American citizen. Somehow thinking they have forced employers to pay them less and take advantage of them just to hurt law abiding americans. It’s not logical, it’s honestly fucking insane. But a lot of it comes from a similar place. They are hurting too. Much like the rest of us. They just can’t see everyone else. It’s always about them. So the best way to start in on them. Is to point out how the exact same systems have victimized them. And how those they support have enabled and supported it.

Don’t get me wrong there are absolutely many you are shitty people to their core. Whom you shouldn’t bother with. The plenty of them have no concept of class 4 or how much they are being manipulated by Elite bourgeoisie. They just want things to be better. But have no clue about what that would look like or how to go about it. Often times having been completely indoctrinated against it.

I’m not so focused to keep lists Etc myself. However if you are interested in learning a bit more about it all. There are actually a few communities dedicated to it. Don’t just take anything there as gospel though. Critical thinking is always good to employ. And even then it might just come down to who you decide you want to believe. However massive amounts of hypocritical behavior to me would indicate less trustworthiness.

Meanwhileongrad has a lot of it. Just bear in mind. Where people will stand is often more about what they do than even what they say.

They never said RL. That is a very specific and self aware cop-out. You know as well as we do, the ml servers are known for this for good reason.

Being fully transparent .world has their shit heads too. As do most other servers. However to the best of my knowledge they tend not to be administrators etc. 🤷‍♂️
