      It’s a funny show quote … but very sad in this case. I hate the idea that there are MAGAts happily clapping because people are being deported into what are basically slave camps.

      The Nuremberg style trials cannot get here quickly enough. Simply voting this political party out of office is not enough at this point.

    Not just fascists, also those who empower fascists by sitting on their lazy ignorant smug asses on Election Day, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe, who want some sort of collapse to happen… because they fancy themselves at the top of their imagined new “purity” food chain, I mean… look at their purity! Aren’t they so special and so above it all?

    They read things! On the internet! Wow!
    They reject anything that doesn’t fit their narrative. They LOVE having their hollow ego massaged in circlejerks and by bad-faith actors.

    God forbid anything less than perfect and pure crosses their medieval path, lest they feel offended and… oh yeah, they do nothing. Which is why we’re in this goddamned mess in the first place. They allowed racist, misogynistic fascism to take firm root, good luck weeding it out now.

      This smug denialism is what got us Trump the first time around and it’s what got us Trump the second time as well. At least the guy acknowledges there’s a problem (even though his solutions are designed to make it worse). The Dems piss on your leg and tell you it’s raining. They dropped the ball by trying to play diet republican, and losing the election is on them.

      Both -parties- ARE equally terrible. They are all in on and define the bullshit system and both are 100% two halves of the same problem.

      TRUMP is a different story though. For one thing he is no more a Republican than he is a Democrat he is there to do whatever he thinks is best for him and that is it. He makes any Democrat I have ever seen look amazing in comparison. I generally vote Independent and even swore years ago that I would never vote for a D or R again without some insane change to something and I do still refuse to support either shit ass party in general. Trump is a different story though, he made me vote for a Democrat for the first time in my life. Even the normal terrible D and R bullshit looks amazing when you are watching Trump destroy the country.

      Note that there are good politicians who stand out from the actual party on both sides. I would vote for some if they made it to the election just for the fact that they have a cause and a vision to help people and even if I don’t like the means it is sure a hell of a lot better than the current state of affairs.

    Remember that the admins of the Tankie Triad regularly post and brigade threads pushing their invalid ideology on other instances.

    And they have a dozen or so alts ready to downvote dissent.

    Tankies literally have to manipulate social media so people pay attention to them and control narratives or else they get laughed out of every room they enter.

    If you haven’t been called a “Russian bot,” you’re not really challenging western imperialism yet.

    I got banned from news for pointing out that if you don’t exist in the system you’re under no obligations to follow the laws.

    ie: if the government purposely kills you on paper you’re “legally dead”, and dead people can’t commit crimes.

    the exchange became so heated one of the snowflake mods removed my comments under “obvious troll is obvious” and banned me for being a troll.

    jokes on them, I was serious.

    When people call me a tankie ☺️

    I love how people just spew nonsense they know nothing about. It’s validating knowing I pissed them off lmfao 😇

    It feels so good! Like fresh air on a warm spring day. The sun shines a little brighter every time it happens.

    This place is a giant circle jerk. I mean, who’s going to actually mass downvote a mainstream approved opinion in a heavily moderated and biased forum LMAO 🤣

    Only thing that comes to mind is actually dissenting non approved opinions getting mass downvoted if not thoroughly silenced and banned

    Or ideological adjacent splitters casually/competitively infighting.
