      I know it shouldn’t matter, but damn this contrapoints stuff is so jokerfying for me. Comparing Biden to a slave owner in a positive light is beyond pathetic, and really goes to show where getting in bed with liberalism gets you.

      Liberals always find ways to disappoint you even more than you thought capable. She’s lost entirely the fucking plot.

        Same. What the fuck happened to funny, weird, vulgar contra with her production values and a - e - s - t - h -e - t - i - c shtick? Now she’s just another apologist for mass murdering people? What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck?

        I want to compare all these people to famous Nazis but they’re not the Nazis. They’re Democrats, mass killers and torturers and oppressors fully in their own right, in modernity, they don’t need the ghosts of dead regimes, they’re doing it themselves live in real time.

      She made a 4 hour video going “So you’re saying I’m a bad person just because I like stuff??” over and over again.

      Ages ago, Natalie Wynn was very good at de-radicalizing young men from the far right, and making weird artsy videos about a layman’s foray into Marxism.

      And then she got absorbed into the ruling class that she was basically already adjacent to. She’s rich, and famous, and getting paid to answer questions in the Hillary + Chelsea reality show, questions like “what should we do about AIDS?” and “How much cancelling is the right amount of cancelling?”

      Legacy is when liberals lecture everyone by saying, “it’s not enough to support someone for a time, you have to devote your entire life to them. You have to make excuses for the shitty policies they’ve been responsible for throughout their entire life, and mentally rewrite your own memories in their honor. And when they die, you must be buried with them like they’re some kind of brain-leaking mayonnaise-ass Beltway Pharaoh.” white-pharaoh

      Right? Just four years ago we watched cops go on a bloody rampage that left hundreds dead, thousands injuired, thousands more in jail, entire cities poisoned. They’ve killed more people every successive year since then, they’ve been given more money and power, and now it seems like their king may take the throne with legally unlimited power to kill and torture and cage anyone for no reason with no recourse.

      She has no problems saying that cause the slave owning is still a great note apparently. And of course she despises any communist movement or leader. She once made this terrible video praising marie antoinette and saying the revolution was carried out cause of the people’s jealousy.

      Mao or any other person who was heading a movement was an irredeemable authoritarian strongman piece of shit who paved way for the draconian swcc. She makes this point that all these communists just make vague utopian promises and then authoritarianly oppress people cause their dumb utopia couldn’t be achieved.

    There’s nothing democratic about it being Harris vs anyone else. Its just easier, less chaotic, and more expedient. There’s nothing democratic about the whole system either, but specifically to pretend like “yes, this is democratic because she was personally selected without oversight by a presidential candidate to balance out their ticket. Denocract in action right there” yea
