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 to condescend to them and accuse them of being privileged.
The Lemmynt Configuration has such sights to show you...
We are explorers from the furthest realms of shitposting. Chinese bots to some, tankies to others.
The most progressive president since FDR, everyone.
Fitting, since FDR literally built concentration camps
you gotta vote for biden. He's just like FDR!
progressive reforms like the new deal?
concentration camps
If Joe pushes us into a World War, he's definitely speedrunning FDR before he dies.
But like, without the good stuff.
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.
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?
the burger reich is far too racist for that
something something a group that the law binds but does not protect, and a group that the law protects but does not bind
They're gonna pull some "The Israelis are more important" shit
There is no contradiction in this world that a liberal cannot hand-wave away
I can’t muster up anything snarky in the face of this
Burn in hell Genocide Joe
sooner rather than later preferably
it'd be so funny if he dies of old age right after losing the election and she gets to be president for like two whole months
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
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?
Imagine a world where Americans care half for Kent State that of what they care for Tiamen.
The Kent State Massacre had a net approval rating at the time too
If you framed it a certain way, you could get a majority of Americans to justify it today, I’d bet
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".
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.
Surely the free speech chuds on college campuses will have something to say about this, right?

Are we gonna say "mask off" every time this happens or are we going to start thinking and acting like it's been off?
Capital has to take the mask off, just for one second. To do the deed.
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.
Honestly conservatives were kinda spitting when they called them Demoncrats.

Death to America
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.
