For me, it was seeing the Third Precinct of the Minneapolis police department engulfed in flames….
Of course, it was a chud FBI informant who did it… but for that moment, I had some hope.
Then Obama told some NBA players to get back on the court…

A literal handful of blue haired :im-vegan: radlibs and anarchists drove back an entire battalion of armed to the teeth chudihijadeen
also the time Proud Boys came to SF and literally couldn’t even set up their stage because the moment they got off BART they started getting absolutely savaged and one of them pulled the “I’m black bro I’m not racist!” and then got his jaw broken almost immediately after
Yes, that’s why I lovingly refer to him as an anarcho-fed, along with his pal Emily Gorcensnsizksisi who literally wrote software for drones that blow up brown people
the dude makes 300k a year podcasting
sus
I still like him for the most part, he has OK coverage of domestic events
edit: I really don’t like the ICE Must Be Abolished guy he hangs out with
election night 2008
:doomjak:
Fuck I volunteered for that piece of shit. God damn the month after that sucked seeing who he picked for his cabinet….
Same. That moment was fucking incredible. It’s fucking terrible that we failed to build on it. Now our job is to build institutions that can take advantage of the next such moment to truly push for revolutionary action.
Trump getting covid. not long term optimistic but it was definitely short term step in the right direction.
Was doing stuff with my friends, got the notification on my phone, and we all literally stopped what we were doing and started laughing, talking about how he was gonna die and America was gonna be 0.00000001% better.
Pulled up :azan: stream and watched him do the crab dance and shit. I was genuinely hopeful for the future of America, thinking if he dies there is some modicum of justice out there.
Of course he got better and nothing changed after he was gone, but personally the sheer exuberance of joy we had in that moment to stop everything we were doing and shit on the big wet boy hasn’t been matched in terms of optimism for this beached whale of a nation.
That was such a great weekend. I still think about it from time to time. That’s the last time I was really, politically, happy. Trump dying wouldn’t have brought socialism but it would have been very funny. I wanted to watch him die and pretend not to be dying but dying. Then his followers pretending not to be owned trying to act like it’s all a secret Q operation. Watching the lib media stuck between celebration and trying to be annoyingly respectful. I played the Ghana funeral dancer song on repeat for hours. I loved the memes.
Yeah it was just political catharsis for like 2 days straight, that can only be matched if like any of the existing US presidents + Kissinger get put into the popular video game Minecraft and thrown into the nether.
it was dumb, unfruitful, and ultimately pointless but it was just fun. The memes were fun, watching everyone trip over their own contradictions was fun, collectively rooting for the covid disease inside his body was fun.
maybe the police station burning down is a better example but it was hard to share in the joy of that from so far away personally.
FUCK MERIC
