Like they’ll post that crap in the same feed as a picture of a the Statue of Liberty saying “save our democracy) or a Muslim woman in a Stars and Stripes hijab?
Like what do they think the founding fathers would be opposed to colonialism and cops?
We have a name for these types. Radlibs. Radical aesthetics but fundamentally liberal politics, both in its theoretical grounding and its conclusions.
Idk I feel like most people I know who get called “radlib” are still woke enough to get that stanning Murica is cringe. These dorks maybe another leve
During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.

My mom is kinda one of these but she started getting into radical politics as a way to get closer to me, so I’m not gonna trash it too much
