i am once again asking you to please kill me
Not an American so I don’t understand this. “Cut unemployment benefits to 16 weeks”. Do you not continually receive welfare if you’re out of work? Is there a time limit?
Accelerationists sobbing over a cake that says “we were right.”
Accelerationism isn’t real. It is even more meaningless than “tankie” or “stalinist.” When you tell somebody things are going to get worse before they get better, you are telling them things are going to accelerate. If you advocate for any form of class struggle whatsoever, you are pouring fuel on the fire and therefore accelerating the crisis. It’s not like leftists are the ones leveling homeless encampments, depressing wages, stoking imperial conflicts, or spreading poverty just so they can have their bloody revolution a few weeks earlier. The concept is pure radlib cope.
Under this paradigm, the only way to avoid being an accelerationist is to remain in denial that any impending crisis even exists or that any action should be taken to confront it. The word itself reeks of Langley.
Oh look, slavery!
No, no, no, you see TECHNICALLY this isn’t slavery, you’re just forced to either work or starve. You can choose!
We were literally better off with Trump wtf I hate this country so much how was he less bad
Trump could give a fuck about passing anything so long as he could shitpost on Twitter. He bit the hand that fed him in McConnell and the dark money that ran his 2016 campaign.
Biden meanwhile is slavishly beholden to the folk who dark moneyed his win and other centrists in 2020. Biden is an egoless conduit for the donor class and the DNC establishment.
Biden in one year has nominated more TV talking heads and former lobbyists to positions of power than Trump did in two. Only thing Biden hasn’t done is outright familial nepotism.
Only thing Biden hasn’t done is outright familial nepotism.
And honestly as far as corruption styles go, familial nepotism is pretty low on my priority list. At least that only helps a handful of minor ghouls who got their position by being related to someone evil, rather than by being as personally evil as possible themselves. I’d much rather Ivanka Trump than someone from fucking Raytheon or Lockheed
And with someone as incompetent and stupid as Trump, his family tends to be just as moronic and incompetent
It’s honestly baffling. I knew he was gonna suck but I did think he was gonna be marginally better than Trump. My worry was that whoever followed would be an even worse backlash, like DeSantis. Turns out he’s worse in the moment and in the future!
Oh we’re still going to get the backlash. Chuds have gained no ground on the culture war and they are ready as ever to punish their enemies. We’ll have book burnings within the decade.
