What the utility in saying this? I mean yeah, no shit, things can get worse but they actively have been getting worse for a very long time now. Right wingers being genuinely scared is a good thing. You should be scared to hold hateful beliefs

That’s okay! Bring all those comrades to Lemmy. Let the liberal redditors cry

I for one think Charlie Kirk would be pleased, after all, some deaths are necessary if it means we get to keep the second amendment right?

All the “thoughts and prayers” liberals…

This man cheered on genocide. He downplayed the deaths of children in school shootings and moments before the clip was spreading more BS claims about trans people being mass shooters.

The world is better with him not in it anymore

It amazes me that people can think Big Pharma is ripping them off and selling them a vaccine they don’t need while also believing that socialized medicine would be the worst thing to ever happen.

Like imagine being able to just believe doctors because they aren’t trying to make money off you

This is why I simply don’t argue with so called “libertarians.” They think they are educated from a few Ron Paul clips on YouTube and some thinly veiled anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

Anyone else exhausted trying to get people around them to understand how capitalism is the root of all their fears and problems?

Like damn… I feel like I’m lucky to change the mind of 1 out of every 100 I talk to. It’s just frustrating that so many people can’t connect to the bigger picture beyond all the culture war slop.

Revolutionary optimism always, but man I feel like I to apply ice directly to my brain

Newsom is quite literally just copying and pasting Trump’s formula with an appeal to liberals. Amazing how people fall for this shit

And we ain’t stopping in Berlin either

This is the kind of messaging that gets across to people in the hustle culture/grindset mentality. Believing that your only value comes from your income. Just pure evil

Same. I’m living in the US and I’m utterly surrounded by reactionaries all the time. So I’m just going to keep speaking and maybe some of them who are open minded will be swayed. Idk man… I’m trying whatever I can

This is why education and specifically fostering proper critical thinking skills and empathy is so important. It’s so scary how easy it is for so many people to reject the humanity of others

So even the Jacobin now is publishing the “Genocide is bad, but also Hamas” bullshit now. Liberal centrism is a malignant tumor

There must come a time as a western leftist where you have to break down and grieve when everything you have ever been taught about your country and its role in the world turns out to be a lie. But there is also nothing more empowering than to make that realization

Even as someone who possesses just about every privileged trait that a person can have in society (besides wealth), its still so much more freeing to recognize material reality for what it is and allow yourself to just be human and vulnerable.

Ah yes the enlightened centrist. “Just calm down bro” it’s “just an ad for genes (jeans) bro”

Don’t argue with them, but continue to point out their fascism always.

Even though Castro actually apologized for his horrible treatment of LGBT people and changed course later in his life.

I think this video is well constructed as a sort of introduction to unlearning the anti-Stalin propaganda. Something that well-intentioned liberals may find educational and help them start deconstructing the lies.

I also like the mention of the Trotsky ——> Neocon pipeline. I also use the “evolution” of Christopher Hitchens to describe that phenomenon

Makes me think of exactly what Haz does. Seems like that clown’s favorite thing about Stalin was his homophobia.
