I hate that she used a messy break up as an excuse to abuse these boys. A lot of people go through messy breakups all the time, and guess what they don’t do.
Liberals are not saying the first line, or if they’re saying it then it’s not sincere. They keep lecturing us about how we need to tolerate fascism currently manifesting toward other marginalized groups because a hypothetical scenario would be worse. Liberals have shown repeatedly that they have a level of fascism they consider acceptable.
Liberalism is a right-wing ideology, so it’s no surprise there’s crossover between the Democrats and Republicans in the US. The liberal worldview upholds capitalism and imperialism, and it always eventually devolves into fascism, which is what we’re seeing now.
There’s a reason rule 4 exists in this community. There’s a place for communities where we can interact with liberals and hope to wake them up, but there’s also a place like this for leftists to talk to each other without the constant screaming of right-wingers. Liberals are arguably even more dangerous than straight-up fascists since they are far more enticing and deceptive, and they sugar-coat their hate in the cloak of politeness. (Unless they’re talking to anyone to the left of Reagan, in which case they start screaming at us in frustration and using dehumanizing terms like “Russian bot,” since they don’t like being exposed for what they are. I personally have DMs calling me a “bot,” “Nazi,” “troll,” “psyops,” “useful idiot,” “fascist,” and “tankie” – I’m an anarchist lol.)
Visit almost any default news or politics community on reddit or here in the fediverse on .world, and you’ll definitely see this happening.
I agree with you though that Democrats are basically just another GOP at this point. They’ve always been, but the mask has really come off since 2020.
This is also a good point. I think we’d have a better shot at electing a third-party candidate than we would of pushing an establishment democrat left.
Not to mention that even the “socially left” is highly questionable. When I see a leader who’s willing to throw other marginalized groups such as Palestinians, refugees, and BIPOC under the bus, I have no doubt he’d have us LGBTQIA+ people lined up and executed if he thought it would help him win elections. Establishment Democrats are not allies, no matter how many rainbows they project on the White House.
Yes, he said the both competition and cooperation are found in nature, but that cooperation/mutual aid lends itself more to survival, and he cites examples from both animals and humans: theanarchistlibrary.org/…/petr-kropotkin-mutual-a…
