Nah it’s actually incredibly easy to divorce the two when you’ve trained your audience to reject it every time they catch a whiff of it and the government is doing the same. Most of these viewers will walk away from this segment still holding a negative view of communism (cause it’s instictiual) but have a few ideas wrattling around their head that can be played on later by media/politicians.
Ideally, we’d be the ones taken those ideas this gives them and run with it, but on a practical level outside of talking to Fox viewers you know about this segment the reach won’t be there. Meanwhile someone could easily pick almost all the points up as a platform, slap "for Real Americans™ " on it and they’d have a primed audience. Stuff like this is like the mentality behind advistersting, you want to establish a passive voice in someone’s head through saturation and then play on that later. I’m rambling now but I hope you see what I mean
No part of these touch on what really makes socialism socialism, and it’s all stuff that these people can nod along to or strongly agree with. This is how ideology gets co opted
Looking at the age range from the arrests spike from 1/5-1/7 vs earlier in the year is pretty interesting to me (but also it’s expected results)
i can’t get on board with accepting reformed reactionaries because they say bash the fash now or some stupid shit.
I think the second part of that sentence is the key, though. OPs statement applies to people like these two who occasionally lean into the A E S T H E T I C and not to people who are generally trying to learn and improve themselves
Very surface level answer- capitalism will inevitably collapse on itself, and when it does either the proletariat will sieze power for themselves, or the bourgeois will try to hold on to their power while eliminating any threat to themselves and directing people to look elsewhere for solutions to their problems, this results in fascism
Generally yeah, just make one a lil damp and drape it over the bowl beforehand and it’ll help. Depends a bit on the food/bowl/microwave in question. But if your bowls are super duper hot in under a minute they aren’t really meant to be in the microwave and they are basically stealing all the warmth your food could be getting
Wet paper towels help with that, steam it up!
