The White House will also highlight how the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights has expedited an update of its complaint form. For the first time, it will make it clear that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits certain forms of antisemitism and Islamophobia.

I never realized how awful Democrats were until I started paying attention to their policies toward the imperial periphery. It's darkly funny to me whenever someone from the third world says they don't see any meaningful difference between Democrats and Republicans, only for some maybe-later-kiddo to condescend to them and accuse them of being privileged.

The most progressive president since FDR, everyone.

[-] [email protected] 133 points 2 years ago

Fitting, since FDR literally built concentration camps

If Joe pushes us into a World War, he's definitely speedrunning FDR before he dies.

I wonder how far we will be into fascism until libs realize we've descended into fascism

Say what you will about Star Wars, but Lucas did nail the rise of fascism.

[-] [email protected] 79 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Said before and I'll say again: the biggest "mistake" of the prequels is that they lost track of the fact that people don't care about the events of the story, they care about how it impacts the characters. Everything about the setup of the prequels is great but the missing element is that its still not clear to a lot of people watching the story that the republic didn't turn fascist overnight: it was already fascist before episode 3 ever even happens. The main characters just hadn't quite realized that they were already the empire in everything but name.

Libs didn't recognize it as fascist until Palpatine defenestrated Windu, had Anakin kill everyone, and then gave a speech proclaiming himself emperor

Even though he functionally already had almost all of that power, it needed to be accompanied by some really obvious nonsense to be truly 'fascist' to them

Hellworld. Fascists play it smart and have their fascist leader be a democrat:

  • Libs are all happy at brunch to care
  • most of the dissenters are ones asking for more fascism, not less.
  • Biden will give empty platitudes about equality or tolerance, but we as a society will shrug our shoulders as the nazis organize and do ethnic cleansing. Those platitudes are then protested because it isn't fascist enough.

The fascists get to win by having the lesser fascists feel like they're losing and the liberals are too smugly self-satisfied with themselves to really care that much.

If Title VI protects from Islamophobia as well as antisemitism, then wouldn't arresting pro-palestinian protestors fall under islamophobia?

it's not enough to blacklist and strangle the job prospects of anybody who participates, they have to go all Kent State on this shit? really seems like an overreaction incommensurate with the actual threat. Israel and the USA both seem to be on the back foot and reacting wildly

[-] [email protected] 63 points 2 years ago

The empire's grasp is weakening and in a desperate attempt to maintain hegemony it will lash out in increasingly destructive ways.

Genocide Joe: If one Kent State massacre wasn't enough to keep the kids in line, how about a hundred?

[-] [email protected] 60 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Imagine a world where Americans care half for Kent State that of what they care for Tiamen.

[-] [email protected] 68 points 2 years ago

The Kent State Massacre had a net approval rating at the time too

[-] [email protected] 49 points 2 years ago

If you framed it a certain way, you could get a majority of Americans to justify it today, I’d bet

[-] [email protected] 48 points 2 years ago

Oh absolutely, it probably wouldn't even be that hard

Accelerationist Biden. He understands that there is no limit to how awful he can be because "the gop are worse".

[-] [email protected] 62 points 2 years ago

The Biden administration is reiterating that there will be no student loan debt forgiveness for PELL grant recipients who stage a pro-Palestine sit-in in an underserved community and keep it running for three years.

Note, that this is not a change from the administration's current policy of no student debt forgiveness.

So I clicked on the article, and a video started auto-playing. It played while I skimmed. Then after the talk about the 'hate', another video immediately auto-played talking about Isra*l intensifying their bombing campaign of Gaza. The ideological whiplash almost broke my neck.

Remember when Texas had the law that you had to sign a loyalty pledge to Israel and liberals fell over themselves for rEpUbLiCaNs bAd? Glad to see there's yet another Trump policy they decided was right after all. And by glad I mean distressed.

Ok, based on the comments I still don’t think people understand this very important fact:

Everything that the Democrats do and say, isn’t directed at you, the voter. The voters don’t matter. You don’t matter.

The donors matter. It’s all about satisfying the people who are giving them money. It’s as simple as that. They’re not trying to piss you off, because they never gave a second of thought about you in the first place.
