California’s governor is being touted as a successor to the Biden throne. Though he’s often imagined as a beacon of progress, his feckless record shows otherwise.
You pretend to care so much about facism yet when your boy gruesem newsome agrees and platforms the hatred of a fascist like Charlie Kirk you meme about it. You don’t care about the marginalized who will suffer the most under fascism, this is just a sports game for you. I bet you even call yourself an ally.
Anyone else contemplate how there’s absolutely no backtracking out of leftism? Could you imagine ever being like this again? If you were reactionary or otherwise absorbed some sort of mainstream political opinion via passive osmosis of ideas, imagine trying to escape back into it.
You’d have to watch the Colbert report and you’d never be able to spiritually metabolize the jokes anymore. You’d have to believe it’s Trump’s fault that shit is so bad. You’d really have to ignore the economics. Every time someone gets replaced by AI and some product gets enshittified you’d have to do some song and dance about how… I don’t even know. Who could you blame but a capitalist or the rate of profit? You’d be like “fucking Jerome Powell!!”
Even if you did the task of ignoring leftist impulses, you’d reveal yourself every time you didn’t gleefully punch left. You’d have to scoff at LGBT representation in slop and call people who didn’t root for America in their imperial war of the month a Putin shill. You’d have to ring your Adrian Zenz gong every time China does something good.
Even if you leave now to perfectly touch grass, how could you ever see the world through any other lens? How could you ever punch down or left? How could you believe the most wretched amogus were anywhere but in suits in conference rooms contemplating how to deny people healthcare or how to criminalize the criticism of genocide? How could you stomach imperial violence? How can you unlearn American history and it’s relationship with labor?
To criticize someone as a Putin shill unironically you’d have to put toothpaste back in the bottle. You’d have to unscramble the egg. You’d have to set fire to the garden of your mind.
Everytime time I see one of these guys I think stuff like this, though usually far less articulately. This is all they have to try to convince us that communism is wrongthink; stale memes, casual bigotry and ignorance.
Sometimes I almost envy them, the world is so simple to them, everything bad is Russia and Trump’s fault, maybe China’s or Iran’s, depending on what’s in the news this week. But there’s no personal growth, no understanding, no way forward with this way of thinking, it’s emotionally and intellectually stunting, which is probably why they always use out of date memes and behave like an edgy teenager, because they’ve undergone 0 personal growth since they were one.
In 5-10 years time their big bad enemy will probably be Putin and Trump’s successors and they’ll know just as much about them and have just the exact same understanding of the world they do now. 0 understanding of anything, just pure vibes, the world will have changed, but their understanding of it will not. They’ll be jumping at the same shadows, swallowing the same bullshit about the same “enemies” and the only thing that will have changed is they will be more accepting of racism towards new designated “acceptable targets.”
Sometimes think life would be easier if I was one of those people on the liberal subreddit updooting epic clapbacks pointing out the hypocrisy of Republicans or Newsom’s hilarious all-caps tweets. Thinking that China, Russia, North Korea, Iran etc. are cartoon villains.
Then I think ”they were doing the same shit in 2016 and they haven’t grown at all beyond this stale garbage”. Then I think even further about how many of these people are in their 60s or older and they’ve probably been stuck in this stale worldview at least since Clinton was in office and for them, history never stopped ending.
There is actually - either into cynical personal gain (for bourgies there are class interests too) or into nationalism. Those who did such backtracking are the most dangerous, because they perceive the system much more clearly and so can protect it much more efficiently.
Well, you just created the BBEG in my novel. So thank you for that. Turns out the missing ingredient was philosophically sophisticated Darth fucking Vader.
I don’t think that’s backtracking though, because they still understand the framework of things, they’ve just abandoned their morals and principles. They aren’t true believers in the system, they see the fucked up nature of it for what it is, but would rather personally profit off of it than fight against it.
i don’t think you actually believe there are russian bots. do you accuse us of being bots because it makes you feel less pathetic that you’re doing dnc consultant work for free? is it this? (see below) are you a NAFOite? please tell me, i really do want to know.
I believe that, on the contrary, the process of Western propaganda is better understood in terms of “licensing”: the issuing of moral license for the bourgeois proletariat to profitably go along with bourgeois designs without the feeling of shame overwhelming.
Why do you think trans people are an acceptable loss for “fighting fascism.”

Good work soldier

It’s such a sad existence.

I feel much better after those thoughts.

I see we’re playing all the hits from ”we have to support the Democrats to stop fascism” to ”everyone who disagrees with me is Russian” here.
Sometimes I wonder why some of you didn’t just stay on
.
Get another joke goddamn
OK here’s one
Oh shit, I’m owned!
I now realize that Gavin Newsom is a progressive.
Oof ouch owie
Having a grandchild and posting like this is some of the most pathetic shit I’ve ever fucking seen in my life. Have some goddamn dignity man.
You know Russia is winning their war right?
Oooh, found a raw nerve!
Come on, you can do better than that. Have you tried bringing up Tienanmen Square?
You seem…desperate
Just a bit of fun before bed, but I suppose it’s breakfast time in Moscow, da?
we literally have this
Shut the fuck up
