Can't fucking believe I'm living in the timeline where fascism is accompanied by tweets written like a trashy Holywood movie
What were the unions (soviets) like, to what extent could a simple worker participate in democratic centralism, and were most workers participating or was there a lot of indifference to it like you see with people nowadays?
Also what was free speech and political dissent really like for a working class person? I understand this is inherently tied to the period we're talking about and how much internal class struggle the state faced.
Thank you comrade grandfather
Also aren't wolves pack animals?
anything I don't like is a Russian bot
Considering the huge defense budget, official war economies, and defence projects being given to companies all over Europe, I don't believe it's just posturing.
Europe is invested in this imperialistic war and they want to get their share of the pie at the cost of as many Ukranians as it takes I guess.
Uh hey boss, any chance I could work a lot of overtime today? No need to pay me even
Even if the USA wanted this war over, at this point I think Europe itself would start WW3 just to keep the war economy flowing.
just as bad
start taking over outposts and giving them to him instead
I wonder what that reminds me of
Despite the bit of horseshoe theory, I like the way he describes how these fascist ideas take hold.
All it takes is for someone to be disappointed in something, and there are plenty of things to be disappointed about in capitalism, and to be politically and historically uneducated. When there's no mental resistance to that propaganda, it's as easy as seeing the same meme multiple times for someone to associate a thing they hate with something completely irrelevant, while ignoring the real systemic reasons that lead to that disappointment. After that it's a slippery slope, dog whistles lead to actual ideology, and the ideology eventually leads to real life action as well. And in the end, some person will have been completely ruined because they disliked a stupid fucking videogame and couldn't notice the real reasons.
