I hate to say it but I respect that he corrected himself somewhat. I guess I’m pathologically trying to see the good in people.

Ultimately we’re trying to save all of these assholes. No one is born a liberal or a fascist, it took capitalism and imperialism and endless massacres and a massive hegemonic juggernaut of cultural propaganda to turn entire populations in to this. Remove the poisonous system they’re drowning again and they’re just normal people.

To fight for what is right is to understand that your enemy is not some incorporeal evil, but simply misguided fools commiting evil acts by chance. While we cant let our empathy make us weak; We also cant allow ourselves to be consumed by a hatred for the fools we fight.

Yeah I’m not gonna knock anyone dunking on this guy cuz lol but it’s pretty understandable that he’d have an emotional reaction right after his party lost that poorly and that he wasn’t ready to read criticisms yet. obvs it’s written in an emotionally immature way but ¯\(ツ)

I’ve never seen people change their tune so quickly and so completely as the time around Biden stepping down. One moment genocide Joe was fit as a fiddle, the next he was clearly unhealthy. (not that these chucklefucks would admit he was dead on arrival) Him strong down went from unthinkable and offensive to suggest to heroic yet predestined. Harris was the woman who left the race to avoid being embarrassed in her home state, but became the strongest candidate in history, best and only chance to beat the orange menace.

I don’t want to hear one more goddamn thing about Bolshevik party “groupthink” as an excuse for communism being bad. Clearly this is a feature of any political party involved in what it perceives to be existential struggle. The Republicans do it, the Democrats do it. A political party in panic will always do it

Huh never realized it but this will be a great lesson in siege mentality if I ever have to explain communist states to people in the future.

"That and fear panic you feel about losing your way of life if Trump takes over? Ya, that’s the feel all these AES states feel, and even worse since the US has done it before to other similar states and keeps trying. You can see why they have one party or restrict press freedoms from right-wing or foreign sources or ban politicians who try to start coups now, right? Doesn’t seem like such a bad idea now, does it? "

It’s always been projection we’re the most asininely combative ideology in history. Half the reason Lenin shot everyone was because we couldn’t collectively stop arguing long enough to remember to eat and the revolution was starving to death.

He was obviously senile during the primary 4 years ago but all the other conservative candidates and the entire media apparatus circled their wagons around him to deflect all criticism

Yeah, his decline from 2016 to 20 was very obvious. But the Emperor Has No Clothes so here we are.

Chuds: Everybody I know loves Trump so the election must have been stolen. Damn you Soros/(((globalists)))/the Hollywood elite!

Dems: Everybody knows they’re worse so if you didn’t come out to vote for us, fuck you. We’ll be running the same strategy next election cycle btw, so hopefully outside conditions (like a pandemic or recession) make it work for us this time, otherwise we’ll be blaming you even harder.
