    Not just fascists, also those who empower fascists by sitting on their lazy ignorant smug asses on Election Day, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe, who want some sort of collapse to happen… because they fancy themselves at the top of their imagined new “purity” food chain, I mean… look at their purity! Aren’t they so special and so above it all?

    They read things! On the internet! Wow!
    They reject anything that doesn’t fit their narrative. They LOVE having their hollow ego massaged in circlejerks and by bad-faith actors.

    God forbid anything less than perfect and pure crosses their medieval path, lest they feel offended and… oh yeah, they do nothing. Which is why we’re in this goddamned mess in the first place. They allowed racist, misogynistic fascism to take firm root, good luck weeding it out now.

      The Dems are not one party, but factions. There are legit opposition members, but the party is controlled by the captured opposition faction. Their job was to give the illusion of choice and legitimate democracy while playing stupid as the fascists eroded all your rights. They never undid the harm republicans brought in even when they could.

      Legitimate dems were only permitted to give an aire of legitimacy to the whole dog and pony show. Yes voting matters, but the real battle was lost in the candidate selection within the DNC, where only the captured opposition are allowed to dominate.

      This smug denialism is what got us Trump the first time around and it’s what got us Trump the second time as well. At least the guy acknowledges there’s a problem (even though his solutions are designed to make it worse). The Dems piss on your leg and tell you it’s raining. They dropped the ball by trying to play diet republican, and losing the election is on them.

    I literally have no idea how many down votes I’ve gotten. I do kinda miss seeing bad people get down voted, but I find this experience much more pleasant.

    Just wait until you feel the incredible feel of having one of them DM you calling you the N-word, threatening to “punch you in your N***** face” and then you use an IP tracker to find they’re using an Belorussian IP.

    I’ve been running off that accomplishment for some time.

    Remember that the admins of the Tankie Triad regularly post and brigade threads pushing their invalid ideology on other instances.

    And they have a dozen or so alts ready to downvote dissent.

    Tankies literally have to manipulate social media so people pay attention to them and control narratives or else they get laughed out of every room they enter.

    I got banned from news for pointing out that if you don’t exist in the system you’re under no obligations to follow the laws.

    ie: if the government purposely kills you on paper you’re “legally dead”, and dead people can’t commit crimes.

    the exchange became so heated one of the snowflake mods removed my comments under “obvious troll is obvious” and banned me for being a troll.

    jokes on them, I was serious.

        No, avoiding contention is why we’re in this mess and why the world is segregated again.

        But I’m not going to say “Go argue on the internet” I am going to tell everyone to get the fuck over their social issues and just TALK to the people in your life who hold shitty positions and are either dimwitted about politics, uninvolved or being brainwashed by social media. They can be turned, I do it ALL THE TIME and I feel like I’m the only fucking human left who doesn’t feel overwhelming fear engaging with another human ffs.

    If you haven’t been called a “Russian bot,” you’re not really challenging western imperialism yet.

    This place is a giant circle jerk. I mean, who’s going to actually mass downvote a mainstream approved opinion in a heavily moderated and biased forum LMAO 🤣

    Only thing that comes to mind is actually dissenting non approved opinions getting mass downvoted if not thoroughly silenced and banned

    Or ideological adjacent splitters casually/competitively infighting.

    It feels so good! Like fresh air on a warm spring day. The sun shines a little brighter every time it happens.
