Even if this take wasn’t reductive and worthless, guess what, “fascism” is too abstract an issue to count on the majority of voters to go to the polls for. This is an unavoidable material reality. But you don’t want to work around it, you just want to spur a circle jerk among you and your hivemind followers about how you “get it” and others don’t and you all are the prescient and astute trapped in a world of intellectual lessers.
Fucking morons, I totally get why people go post left if their parents and social circles were all people who talked to each other like this. If you want to call someone stupid and myopic just say that shit, don’t pride yourself on avoiding negative politics then do this grating snark bullshit instead.
Acting like the poverty crisis is about a 30 cents increase on eggs instead of a million dollar increase on housing is disgusting
Bread has pretty much doubled in price. That’s the kinda stuff most people riot over.
Yeah when they say a basket of goods has only risen by 20%, I’m like, “what basket of goods?” Not mine, that’s for sure.
For a while there IIRC the “basket of goods” excluded food, housing, and transportation.
Don’t know who that dude is but I read it as yanks’ll get fascism either way
America doesn’t have a fascist movement per se because their politics have been mainstreamed for decades, baby! And they have no left to crush. It’s pure fascistic liberalism all the way down and your federal political choices are either that or a more confused and braying form of that struggling to find a reactionary populist oppositional angle and failing (the reactionary angle is already in power you can’t meaningfully struggle against it). Which flavor of false consciousness would you like to spend months agonizing over, fellow liberal?
Ok, and if consumer goods was a reason why the election will go to Trump, why have you done NOTHING about it for four years?
It’s damn obvious that a good amount of this hyperinflation is porky throwing a four year long tantrum to try to get people to vote republican, so just jail them for election interference or something, or use this precedent to aid in unionization. After all, these are porkies working together for their class interests, anti-union laws therefore make no sense if unionized capital is ok but not unionized labor.
