My favorite is when they say “I know Republicans are worse in every way but Democrats can’t solve a decades old issue in another part of the world so I’m just not going to vote and let Republicans win”
Ah the good old “it’s not Biden’s fault that there’s a genocide going on”
My favorite has to be this one comment :
far left: works in theory, but has never worked in practice. far right: has worked for as long as empires have existed.
I’m not even sure I 100% understand what they are trying to say since the empires he is probably talking about don’t exist anymore (unless he is aware of the US one).
I refuse to interact with anyone who says “coMmuNiSm onlY wOrkS In tHEorY!”
It’s the most level-0 anti-communist talking point out there, so it’s automatically indicative that anyone who says it isn’t educated enough to entertain without wanting to bash your skull in. They want to sound like they have a solid argument against communism without actually knowing anything about it basically. It’s how you know they truly fell for the capitalist propaganda bait.
seeing the “works in theory, not in practice” argument in the year of our lord 2024 after being in my cosy Hexbear+literature bubble is like being a quantum physicist writing groundbreaking papers on chromodynamics and only talking to his colleagues about the latest theories and developments and then walking down the street and hearing a guy explaining to his friend that he thinks the world is made of fire, air, earth, and water
Yea Biden doesn’t have to solve the issue himself. All he has to do is stop sending weapons and giving diplomatic support all the time.
Other decades old problems closer to home for the imperial core ghoul:
-Abortion rights -Healthcare -College debt
To name a few. But then they’ll just pull out the "Republicans are too obstructionist " argument. Or how even when the Democrats have a majority, but you have spoiler representatives (Liberman, Manchin, Semna, etc) you still need those Democrats around or else the Republicans would have power.
modern liberals have this interesting perspective that is essentially the opposite of “the ends justify the means” where the means are actually the ends. The problem is not the genocide or the exploitation, it’s the authoritarianism that necessarily accompanies those things. So if you were to use authoritarianism to destroy a fascist movement it is exactly the same thing as using authoritarianism to do genocide. It’s not the genocide or the destruction of fascists that is good or bad, it’s the means by which you do it.
It’s infuriating to see these children smugly lecture other people about how effectiveness if for bad people, and don’t you realize that if you become effective you are therefore bad? Bet you didn’t think about that, better read up a little more or your politics there kiddo, I understand being young and idealist but one day you’ll understand the we had to do this genocide to beat the fascists.
Didn’t like next to no one die during the October Revolution? There was a shootout but mostly injuries
Pretty much no one died in the October Revolution, but a lot of people died in the following civil war.
Gonna enjoy this before it gets rule 8ed
Pretty funny how Reddit is so convinced I want their content I MUST use their app.
