the idea that most people are voluntarily internally migrating in the US to pursue preferable public institutions is like beliving that most people are evicted because they prefer to be unhoused.

a whole shitpot full of people are leaving an apocalyptic community and chasing the promise of a job. the capitalists are luring them--often under false pretenses--into the places where the workers have the least political power.

there are people moving to friendlier and more tolerant spaces, to be sure, but their personal risk is mitigated by their class-position and income level.

Libs are completely detached from reality. Even if we for a moment, assume a left-wing candidate say Mamdani for examples sake...

becomes president, he is (sadly) not gonna enact Stalinist purges. Instead, he’ll implement some vaguely socdem policies and that’s it.

“I’ve lived with this malignant brain tumor for years, therefore having the tumor isn’t an issue.”

Scratch a liberal…

social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism

Anyone presenting "murderous mob rule" as a bad thing is counting on you assuming you're a victim of the mob and not part of it. You must imagine yourself a part of the murderous mob.

These people always talk about how the left are scary because their "psychotic policies" will ruin everything somehow, but they can never articulate why beyond vaguely gesturing at "muh free market" or saying that "socialism is bad because (describes something that happens under capitalism)."

Also if these policies have never been implemented, how do they know they'll never work?

You gotta love liberal logic... Apparently, people are moving to MAGA states to escape "psychotic" progressive policies that haven't yet been implemented.

Just subtract 1 from the number in their name and it's accurate

first time? i see those words around unironically.

Reminds me of This

You only fail to recognize this because their psychotic policies haven't yet been implemented.

Sorry for a reddity “ackshually this is a logical fallacy” but this is exemplary of begging the question: posing a question, then “proving” it to be true by tacit assumption that it is true. They set out to prove that socialists are worse than fascists. Because, ostensibly, socialism has never been tried, they then assume that it would be worse, lacking any evidence and relying on supposed common sense. The argument reduces to: socialism is worse than fascism because it is assumed to be so.
