“I voted” flair and all. Link
Prime for radicalization.
Absolutely not. This guy is a company man and will suck the US’s dick all the way down its decline. Anyone who has any “concern” about Jan 6th or “accomplices in Congress” is a baby brain useful idiot with completey compromised judgement. This same person will tell you China’s genocide of the Uyghurs.
Hard disagree. Ideology runs deep in the states and its no accident that the first thing that gets fed to you when you’re fed up and start looking for political solutions to your daily woes is liberal media slop. I know plenty of people who are solid leftists now that started out buying into the whole russia gate nonsense and just through the process of encountering leftists ideas and continuously watching libs fall flat on their face managed to radicalize. The guy’s already posting about worker’s rights and is on the cusp of understanding that the libs they were scared for on Jan 6th are in on the whole thing too. Call me an optimist but I think a lot of these radlibs will radicalize as they see the norms and institutions they respect fail again and again to actually serve them. Which is to say the dialectic of materialism will negate out of them their liberal brainworms :brainworms:
I’m ashamed to admit that I was a Russiagate lib 😔 The lib media talked about it like it was fact, and I was a Pod Save listener at the time :bern-disgust: It was actually listening to the Chapo pod and finding the old subreddit that de:brainworms:ed me
Being concerned at all about this means you’re an idiot who will lap up any bullshit you hear on the news, hook line and sinker. These are the people who whine about “tankies”, deep throat US imperialism. They are counter productive because they whine about how they “want the same thing” and then constantly concern troll about supporting the Empire. They are your enemy.

Jan 6th was the closest thing we’ve had in this country to a real in-your-face Fascist moment since the LAPD was caught on camera bludgeoning Rodney King. I don’t think its fair to say liberals being shocked awake by the event makes them “baby brained”. Just the contrary. Frustration at Team D’s refusal to take Jan 6th seriously - by failing on shit like instituting DC statehood, defending voter rights in red states, actually prosecuting media and political figures who fanned the flames, and leveraging the powers of the state to push back - is absolutely radicalizing and eye-opening.

Whether you believe in the Uyghur media-babble or not, there’s virtually nothing anyone in the US government can really do about it except complain.
There are a host of policies Joe Biden could pursue right away, and Congress could have shoe-horned into must pass legislation, and state parties could be advancing in anticipation of mid-terms, that expand the capacity of liberals to organize, participate, and set future policies through electoral channels.
But if you have to bring up the Uyghurs, its worth noting that this is another thing Biden’s basically failed on. Even if you say you care, he’s not doing anything to stop this alleged genocide. No more than he’s cooking up a cure for Havana Syndrome or building a missile dome to stop Crazy North Koreans from nuking us all.
Whatever you believe about world affairs, the Dem response has been to sit on their hands and complain about the Parliamentarian. They’re clearly incapable of governing. And that alone is radicalizing.
As someone who was genuinely invested in the Mueller investigation years ago, I’m going to disagree with you. When that shit fell through, I looked around for answers until I stumbled onto the original Chapo sub.
