Riots are the language of the unheard. I don’t ever want to hear pissing and moaning from Republicans when there shit hole state burns down
Arresting BLACK PEOPLE who want to Vote is how you KNOW Republicans are NOT Racist!
-Log Cabin Republicans!
Yes and according to the conservative super majority of the Supreme Court, racism in election polls doesn’t exist anymore apparently.
Fucking Farva doing the arrest
It is for a cop, don’t spit in it!
Has nothing to do with 2026. This is not happening un France or Germany or Italy, Canada, Australia, India, the whole south America, etc, etc.
Just in that shithole country that voted in a shit dictator (not even a good one) and refuses to use their second amendment for what it was designed for…
Goodbye, I’m done.
I’m just so mad and angry at American exceptionalism but also see this clear racism.
And nobody is teaching that megalomaniacal mango Mussolini a lesson…
America
18562026What people aren’t realizing is that MAGA may well have screwed themselves worse, especially in such a hostile political environment as this one.
Before all this redistricting, it was going to be a bloodbath, not just because EVERY Dems is going to vote against MAGA, but a lot of Republicans are as well. Even more aren’t going to vote at all.
None of that has changed. In fact, the dishonest gerrymandering is going to make many people even angrier and more determined. They can gerrymander all they want, but the votes don’t go away.
Take Tennessee, for example, in which they eliminated the single Democratic district - but they didn’t get rid of the votes. They just spread them across 3 other strong Republican districts, weakening them badly. In a normal year, it might not be anything to worry about, but in a year in which the waters are flowing hard AGAINST the Traitors, it could easily lead to 3 districts going Blue, instead of just one.
Always remember this one important axiom of MAGA: they are profoundly ignorant, and virtuosically incompetent. They fuck up literally everything they contact, and they will fuck this up, too. The real problem is that we have to have leaders that will pounce on those inevitable mistakes, and exploit the shit out of them. We can’t be polite, and say “Oh, MAGA stumbled, let’s help them back up,” we have to kick them when they are down, then drop a giant rock on their head.
They can gerrymander all they want, but the votes don’t go away.
Are you sure you know how gerrymandering works?
Gerrymandering dilutes both sides’ votes by making smaller majorities and larger minorities to favor one side.
The biggest issue America faces right now is the sheer number of people who still think rules, laws, and logic apply (they barely did in the first place but it’s fully gone now). This administration, Israel, all the pedos, and all the oligarchs will not stop just because people vote against them. You cannot beat authoritarians with the system, you cannot beat them with laws, you cannot beat them with the truth, literally the only thing that can work against authoritarians is extreme violence against them.
We may get to that point, but we still have to work our way through all of our legal, Constitutional steps first. If we get to the point that they have thwarted every legal means, then it will be time to move to violence.
“Those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.” -JFK
Whoa, be careful, with quotes like that you might be considered a domestic terrorist /s
The violence comes when it is needed most.
In retrospect it will have been tardy.
I really hope you are right.
Because the alternative seems not just dark but pitch black
MAGAs are frequently wrong, but NEVER in doubt. They are BLUFFING. They are ALWAYS bluffing.
You are under no obligation to believe anything they say. In fact, if you are a patriotic American citizen, you have an obligation to ignore everything they say, for many reasons:
- They lie about everything
- They are mind-bogglingly stupid
- They NEVER know what they are talking about.
- They get ALL their information from their own Conservative Propaganda Machine, i.e: they sniff their own farts.
- They don’t know anything about anything, and they get their advice and strategies from the same people. All they care about, and know about, is money, literally nothing else.
- They have all the confidence of a guy declaring their perfect health, as a piano is literally dropping out of the sky above them.
- They are always bluffing, count on it.
Why would you believe anything that these proven morons say? They’re MORONS, do you really think they can do anything right? Their best strategy is to try to scare you into surrendering, and all you have to do is ignore them.
They may enjoy sniffing their own farts, but we don’t have to.
I was kinda thinking about the point you made about the gerrymandering might bite them in the ass. Texas announced they were doing it and I thought the districts were already somewhat gerrymandered. How far can you min/max that setup before your repub+ districts are so razor thin that you lose more than you gain in a high turnout vote? I’m sure someone smart did math but if it’s maga math then I expect it to be wrong.
There is another nuance to midterm redistricting that doesn’t get considered: Time.
Districts are normally redrawn following the Census, which is done every 10 years, based on those current demographics. As the decade goes on, those demographics change, as new neighborhoods are built, populations shift, etc. Also, the people themselves change. A person who answers the census at 20, is a very different person than who answers the Census at 30.
So when they redraw the districts deep into the decade, they are doing it based on old, inaccurate data, and they are not going to get the precise response they are expecting. Add to that, the variable that special election results show that Trump is underwater far worse than polls are showing, badly losing elections in districts that had been strong MAGA and Trump supporters in the past.
These districts are being redrawn based on old data, and while it definitely skews things in their favor, it isn’t the slam dunk they think it is, for multiple reasons. Mostly, MAGA’s confidence that this situation saves the House and Senate for them is all show. Don’t let them get you down. All it means is that they are going to cry and scream even louder when they lose.
And in 2031, when they redraw the districts following the 2030 census, Blue states should do everything they can do eliminate as many Red districts as possible. Fuck those pedophile traitors.
If any of their gerrymandering schemes fail because of what you describe, the Republicans will claim that Dems must have cheated, and refuse to accept it. Like this time, I think actually refuse to honor the results.
They know that they simply cannot lose power, and I believe we are going to see as-yet unseen levels of fuckery to that end.
Oh, absolutely, “They Cheated” is their standard response to any loss. The problem is that Dems then take that claim seriously, and want to have a discussion and investigation about it, giving it credibility, instead of just saying “Go fuck yourselves.”
Let them scream, who cares? If we win the House, then we control it whether they like it or not. Any MAGA politician who refuses to allow new Dem Reps enter the Capitol should be immediately arrested, and if they resist, treat them the way they like to treat prisoners.
If they won’t turn it over, we will take it. Violence is entirely up to them.
I understand how black representation, and safe districts, makes incumbents in those districts angry when taken away. Broader power though comes from majority, and past GOP gerrymandering has indeed focused on making 99% dem/black districts so as to make more 55% GOP districts. This is actually the path to both corrupt fascist power monopoly, and increased divisiveness with low voter turnout. Generally, black representation is a distraction for serving other agenda. Obama won due to zionist supremacist establishment approval. Tim Scott is GOP insider with GOP/Zionist first agenda that ignores black issues.
The point is that black representation doesn’t change anything. Like Chuck Schumer, their job is to gaslight the blacks into supporting Israel.
Mixed districts does promise less divisiveness. GOP candidates can’t be all in on KKK/Palantir genocide of all undesirables, or ICE siege of Memphis, when they need Memphis voters too.
Memphis voter turnout can now make a huge difference in Tenessee congressional representation, and Israel/DNC first cooption less important than Tenessee/Memphis relevant issues/harmony.
Nah, the “both sides” crowd will blow it again
If they do, it’s YOUR fault. They are politicians, so they are inherently lazy and greedy, and if you give send them the message that you expect them to do nothing, and you will accept it, that’s exactly what they will do, and go back to their insider trading.
Instead, we should all be sending the constant message that we expect them to finally do their fucking jobs, or else. Or else we will primary them, and if they still won’t work for us, we will investigate them, and throw them in the dungeon with the MAGA traitors. If you aren’t with us, you’re against us, and that goes for voters and politicians.
So knock it off with letting them off the hook. We should be threatening them with their jobs, and making the Dems fear us as much as the MAGAs.
Yeah, keep telling yourself that. The fact of the matter is that when the polls open these people will walk in and vote like they always have.
That statement is proven wrong by the dozens of special elections that have shown a serious downturn in MAGA voter participation.
Stop declaring the race over, and stop discouraging Democrats from voting, unless you’re a MAGA Traitor.
I legitimately don’t give a shit anymore. After watching over 10 years of Trump taking a shit on top of the country and all the working class people cheering for him, across all forms of media I have finally given up. I’ll still bitch about how moronic and self-serving this MAGA cult is, I’ll still vote in every election against them, but I cannot in good conscience try and continue with the platitudes and positive outlook on the future. In fact a part of me hopes the Democrats lose again and give the GOP even greater control - it seems that’s where everything’s going anyways. Besides, I think many of us know what happens the moment Democrats take majority control of the House and Senate.
Actual oversight comes into play, real investigations begin, and this house of cards filled with fraud and scams propping up what’s left of the economy collapses entirely. Who gets the blame? It’s not the Republicans and conservatives, they will never accept the tiniest shred of responsibility for any of this. No they’ll do the same shit they did to Obama after the 2008 election when he inherited the last generation’s conservative scam economy. Blame democrats and progressives and leftists for all their problems. It’ll work, because the idiot demographic in this country with the collective attention span of a betta fish enjoys an undefeatable majority and grows all the time, and they’ll win even more strongly in the following election. So I’m done.
Let the fucking moron self-righteous MAGAt assholes control everything and burn it all down, let them die because their local hospitals closed due to lack of Medicaid funding, their children to Measles and their infants to Vitamin K deficiencies. Let their communities become filled with the products of a dysfunctional criminal justice and rehabilitation system. Let them go homeless and destitute because AI took their jobs, and all the welfare programs that could’ve helped keep them on their feet were destroyed to enable Elon Musk to become the world’s first trillionaire. I say all of that in the hopes that with the right wing in clear, uncontestable control of the entire country, maybe they’ll finally be unable to weasel out of some form of responsibility for their many crimes against humanity and against the working class people of this country and the world. However the truth is, I think that even if every Democratic politician in America disappeared tomorrow, in 10 years’ time they’d still be blamed for 100% of issues in society.
Is it just me or is 2026 rhyming with 1939?
Black Americans, the heart and soul of Democratic party for 50 years… they’re gone as voting bloc.
I hope riding Israel’s dick was worth it.
Wait, what do you think happened here? You think Democrats are to blame for this?

No, black Americans voted the least for Trump than any other demographic in 2024 and 2016.
They were the most reliable blue strait ticket bloc. But that’s over. They’re erasing their districts all over the country.
I mean this is the election cancellation. Getting it out of the way early.

And leave those who can’t flee alone with the nazis? let the country be seized, in control of the most funded army in the world?
There is no way forward with that thinking. There is only one way to a bright future, it is to fight the nazis, to fight relentlessly, to win, then to educate, and finally to disarm. Remember 1945

another nail in the coffin of democracy and freedom
They aren’t insane. They’re completely predictable and historically accurate. What’s insane is Americans allowing it to happen, refusing to exercise the rights granted in the constitution to try and prevent it.
they all coordinated this right after voting rights act was practically eliminated, they knew beforehand and conspired with the scotus to do this, why MSM is pretending to act surprised is funny.
the DEMs wont save you this time especially if the gop a re doing this, since most dinos are complicit, especially if they refused to even show the actual election tampering in '24, let alone 2020, or 2016. plus NEWSOME isnt an ally of the “left” if hes being the only one pushed as the nominee for '28. law of diminishing returns for dems, probably going to see more votes for independants, or not vote all the next few elections.
Obama didn’t deal with Bush, and Biden didn’t deal with Trump. There are no consequences for anything Republicans do, so here we are.
Obama didn’t deal with Bush
I think this is SO important, and people never talk about it. The last chance we had to prevent trump was if obama prosecuted the open theft, corruption, torture and war crimes of the bush era. By biden it was too late, the rich already knew they could get away with it.
As soon as obama gave his “I’m looking forward, not backward” explanation for refusing to enforce the rule of law, he proved that he was yet another useless politician with no will to fix the problems facing the US.
Bush and obama paved the way for the current regime, and people never give obama his fair share of the blame.
i mean nixon got a fucking pardon too
as did all of the confederates
the US government has been excusing blatant crime for “harmony” since basically forever
You’re giving Obama credit for a looooot of power that he didn’t have.
You act as if the republicans were just weak, underfunded pushovers. That clearly isn’t the case.
Dems had a supermajority. They enjoyed widespread public support. Sarah palin made the loony right look pathetic. Obama was never afraid to overuse executive orders either - dems had a lot of levers to pull and a lot of leverage to pull them.
If they’d investigated the rampant illegality, that would’ve been very hard for a post-loss republican party engaged in in-fighting to defend against. A new generation of republican hopefuls would’ve been tempted to get air time by twisting the knife in the old losers.
Remember the hype around the special master under biden? Imagine that, aided by obama’s charisma, with a super majority and before republicans completely corrupted the supreme court. They had a mandate and a lot of power.
They had a supermajority for four months. They just barely managed to get the ACA passed, which was a monumental effort in and of itself. They were more interested in helping American citizens than trying to damage their political opponents, which is a republican ideal, and I understand. We actually had hope back then that things were going to get better, but we were very naive. The racists got immeasurably pissed off and worse, scared. So they accelerated their long-laid plans.
Democrats can certainly be blamed for their actions, and I’d be the first to do so if I thought it prudent. But when the republicans are literally actively tearing down the country, I think there are better things to focus on than the very brief period 16 years ago when Democrats last had a modicum of power.
Mitch mcconnell was a thorn on obama’s side most of his 2nd term, he basically got lameducked by him.
that to, i found it odd they dint repeal the last GOP measure of enacting anti-immigration, patrioct act plans immediately, they know thier donors wanted it in place, or they slow-walked those bills to death.
Well, you’ve figured out half the game atleast. None of them “deal” with any of them. They all committed war crimes. They all violated the constitution in one way or the other. They all let their predecessor off the hook.
There are no consequences for any politician, regardless of their faux political team.
Obama and other dem leadership keep saying we need a strong gop party. Which is surprising considering how little they’ve ever cared about fighting against the GOP. Unless just want them strong to make it easier to fundraise
and then you realize, they are the same PARTY, DINOS and GOP are pretty toe-ing each others line in some respect or another, the only difference is they pretend they are not by having culture war issues. the biggest example is the tax cuts, it was barely if any was reversed at all.
more obvious now that the DNC isnt going to released the result of eleciton autopsy.
In looking into this, what I am able to find indicates that this is a lawmaker (Rep Justin Pearson) and his brother (KeShaun Pearson) who is not a lawmaker and was there protesting GOP lawmakers splitting the city of Memphis where they both live into three districts, diluting the Black vote after a Supreme Court ruling badly gutting what was left of the Voting Rights Act. It appears that KeShaun was detained. Rep Pearson was not, and I am unclear from the video and article whether state troopers forcibly removed Rep Pearson or if he chose (understandably) to leave in order to watch out for his brother who was being detained.
This is the article on it i was able to find. https://www.actionnews5.com/2026/05/08/video-shows-tense-moment-between-rep-pearson-state-troopers-brother-detained-tenn-capitol/
Just so we’re clear, this is still a bad thing that happened and is happening. Jim Crow is returning before our eyes. I just believe, based on what I’ve been able to find, that this screenshot contains inaccurate specifics of the details.

Yeah, but being accurate matters

I mean adding an S to words still indicates a plural state, right? Because this definitely says Lawmakers, with an S. As in more than one. Multiple. Am I losing my fucking mind? Do I need to go back to first grade and learn basic grammar, again? Because I’m just gonna disengage if everyone’s gonna lie to me every time I turn around.
I’m a little confused by this comment, sorry. By “this,” do you mean the image? It does say lawmakers, plural, and also specifies two. The image seems to be incorrect. I’m not assuming malice, and I believe they were probably posting with bad or incomplete information. Details of situations like this can be unclear as you’re trying to follow them at home. But they said lawmakers, plural, and it is in fact a lawmaker, singular, who was not actually arrested, and his non-lawmaker brother, who was.
If you’re talking about something in the article I shared, could you quote the passage that has you confused?
this screenshot contains inaccurate specifics of the details.
Why would someone do that? On Lemmy. Why?
Should have hanged every confederate and this wouldn’t have happened. But America has never had the balls to do good when money can be made and evil can be done instead.
It is very naïve to assume racism only belonged to the Confederacy. Just because black folks were free in the North, doesn’t mean it was all sunshine and roses. This was inevitable from America’s founding as a white nation. It’s a sad, hapless truth; one that, as every society has, will bring us to collapse. So, stock up, play nice with neighbors, and ride out the fall of America.
On the scale of racists, I’ll take the ones that are ashamed of being that way over the loudly and proudly defiant ones.
Were they ashamed when they segregated the black people? Were they ashamed when they economically crippled them at every turn? Were they ashamed when they made them sit in the back of their churches? Were they ashamed when they were forced to go to their own people’s colleges and universities, because they weren’t allowed admittance to the white school? This all happened in the north post Civil War. This was the endgame of America. Always has been and it’s been known since the beginning. It’s time to just sit back and watch the collapse of the empire. Nothing else to do. Racism will never fully be extinguished because it preys on our tribalistic instinct. Hard to overwrite that one.
racism was thier SOLE mission, beliefs, of course it was also in the north. but it fuel thier economy in thier south through segregaiton and slavery. the problem was not ELIMINATING the remaining confederacy strongholds.
*Their.
Segregation was common across across the whole country. This whole country has always been racist. My point was this wasn’t a north south issue. It is the heart of America. What does it matter if we give people freedom and still starve them? What good is freedom if you have no home? What good is freedom if you’re still burning them? This is wasn’t progress in the north, it was trying to feign righteousness. America, all of it, is a racist country.
Bro you’re not teaching anything anyone just being annoying. Yes, Lincoln and the rest of the North was racist, everybody knows that. But they still gave African-Americans the right to vote because they believed in democracy. The confederacy started a war to stop Black people from voting. There was a palpable difference. We don’t need racists to start liking minorities, we need democracy and freedom protected for all. And yes we should have hanged confederate leaders and this country would be decades more advanced right now.
Considering some of Europe started adopting some form of universal healthcare in the 1940s, that’s ~8 decades and counting, just for that one milestone of modern civilization.
We cant even get away from lead waterpipes and asbestos schools.
There are starving children in Africa* with better access to healthcare, clean water, and an education.
Oh, and internet.
* By American definition of “starving”, so like, ~1800kcal per day.
It was very nice to give them the right to vote, as long as they stayed far enough away from the whites. I’m just saying, it’s naïve to say that this level of racism was only fostered from the Confederacy. It’s tribalism. The most exceptional part of the human race. It’s what kept us alive long enough to evolve this way. Every single one of us is sucept to it. To think not is folly, friend. You have a level of anger in your heart that is best put aside for a sandwich with a friend. The world has not changed, it has always been this way. How you choose to react is your own. Peace and love to you.
it’s naïve to say that this level of racism was only fostered from the Confederacy
It’s not naive because Northen racism still fought a war to give African-Americans the right to be citizens. It objectively did not rise to the level of taking those voting rights away, which is what OP is about. Those are two distinct levels of racism is what I’m saying.
But you’re rewriting history. They still burned black people inside their homes. They lynched. They segregated. They did all the horrific things. But you want to draw the line and say that they were better because they gave them citizenship? How’d that citizenship work out when trying to get a job?There were plenty of sharecroppers stuck on farms for money they couldn’t spend anywhere else. But hey! At least they could vote! America is a racist country through and through. Stop acting like it’s not, y’all.
If you want to ignore the blatant racism of the America since it’s founding, you can. But don’t act like America has gotten better. It still hates the minority, I.e. not whites.
I get your point, but calling them the same is not accurate. The idea of the south was that black people were not people, and should only be counted for property.
You can still be racist and think that black people are people, but there’s levels to it, it’s not an on or off thing.
This said, it’s not representative of the whole south or the whole north, but the variance was absolutely enough to make progress.
I think the fundamental disagreement we have is, you have faith in progress; and I am jaded.
Oh believe me I’m jaded as well. What we have going on right now is the opposite of progress. We’re headed toward fascism on a global scale. We’re already balls deep in the US.
I still think it’s important to call out the positives, even in a flawed setting because that can give a glimmer of hope, and without hope we’d just surrender. Fuck that. I’m too petty for that, and wrong is wrong.
It’s all the same or that’s not good enough or it could have been better shouldn’t get in the way of progress no matter how small. The difference between the north and south in that time may seem small now, but it was a massive difference for those that were affected. It was the catalyst that got us to the point we were at a decade ago (prior to the maga shift) which compared to north or south of the time is a monumental difference. Even a decade ago, we were no where near finished, but it was progress.
What is the difference between enslaving someone from not viewing them as equal and setting their house on fire with them in it, for not viewing them as equal? You bring up recent history saying things were getting better, even ten years ago. I disagree. The thing that brought it back out was electing a black president. And all those with racism in their hearts saw it as the end for them. So, they’re gonna make everyone pay for that. Because America has always been racist. It will never stop until whites in america are the minority.
If you think it was better, you missed the part where we vehemently imposed cruelty on Arabs in the past three decades.
That and “Operation Paperclip” (secret U.S. program that recruited over 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians from Nazi Germany after World War II to leverage their expertise for American military and technological advancements) I think are significant parts of what led us here. Those 1,600 people 100% had a reputation that made it easy for their children to attain powerful positions in politics or the law.
The fact governments (not just the US) happily opened its arms to Nazis just because they had talent, have solidified to me that WWII was not fought to protect “noble, human ideals,” like being anti-eugenicist or stopping the Holocaust because people genuinely cared about the Jews (just like nobody has done the same for the genocides that have happened after the Holocaust), but just money and power. The USA only joined WWII because they didn’t want the Nazis to “win the race.” It’s so gross the more you repeat it; feels like a race among a bunch of eugenicists, all of them. You then hear about that Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro “Baby” Ranch where they planned to breed people like stock, to create a “super race.” The fact he easily and likely talked to most of our world leaders while doing that, the fact he was allowed for so long, not really stopped, and that he is easily not just the only one in this planet doing that right now either, he probably got replaced with someone more secretive, more “professional,” it just gets worse. We are cattle to the elite, they are probably doing this economic shock to “cull the weak” because I remember how vivid the discussion about “overpopulation” was during the early 2000s. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of our leaders are that goddamn stupid to believe we Humanity needs wars to keep overpopulation in check, to “evolve” and shit like that. Those are the people we should be putting in jail where they should make their own food, because I don’t want to fund their air.
I think most, if not all the leaders around the world are so corrupted with power they only care about keeping it. They are already beyond discussing racism, homophobia or xenophobia; they are tools to them, but not interests. Especially when you read that a lot of these people do hard drugs, are cucks who fuck eachothers’ wives, and of course, are pedophiles who have tried the most disgusting shit you can imagine because they are already bored of trying everything they can with their money. Eating a world-famous chef’s 5,000$ meal is not a mind-blowing experience to them anymore because they do it everyday. Fucking Victoria Secret models they paid a lot too, etc. They are literally people who make decisions that get thousands of people killed every day, they cannot be blind, they are just incredibly apathetic, psychopathic, it’s so hard to imagine for the average person.
People have to remember that all governments have close relationships with the countries’ mafias (I am a Mexican, and I am sure it’s super easy for you to imagine my government is riddled with mafiosos, but so is yours, no matter where are you from, even Japan is known for working close with the Yakuza. You really think the USA, Russia, China, any European country or place in the world doesn’t? You really think you are the only saints?). It’s a market they know they must control, they cannot erase it, they cannot erase ALL drugs off the world. Mafias are known for doing the worst things you can imagine: burning people; beheading a father or child in front of the other; rape or kidnap your son or daughter who has a disability like down syndrome just to make you do what they want you to do or else they torture, rape or kill them; threaten your family like it’s nothing, with a smile on their face, just to control you; the boss will take your wife if he wants to, and if you dare say anything, they will probably pay you a visit and cut off a toe or pull out a tooth to make you understand… Like, the government deals with that underworld everyday. They themselves play like that and you know that already, WikiLeaks proved a lot of that, about how Governments torture, commit war crimes, have ties with mafias, and shit never changes, it keeps repeating, it’s crazy how people shell themselves from all this and still see things with any bit of pink tones in it… The military is known for raping and doing incredible amounts of violence. They have to see the videos of hostages being mauled and killed, like ISIS’, or what is going on in Gaza. All these people abuse drugs, they are incredibly emotional, irrational, immature, violent, cynical, evil; they have it so easy to threaten your family and you cannot do anything about it because they can censor you, they own the media, social medias, newspapers, TV news channels, everything. They kill people everyday without getting their hands dirty. And people still think these things only happened before cameras were invented, or are super rare, but no, they are literally what “The Game” is.
The only people that can be in positions of power right now are the most psychopathic. It is not hard for them to act. If you think acting is a skill you can only see in movies and TV shows, and cannot be seen anywhere else, you are making a massive mistake. It is a talent anyone can practice and develop, for god’s sake, Hitler was famous for doing that, and it paid off, it made everything he said “look or feel more real to the Germans” and whatnot. To think the elite are not surrounded by psychologists, economists, scientists, heavily-connected people filled with rumors, the assholes who don’t give a fuck and will ask them to do something illegal like it’s a normal conversation because they have the money to buy entire cities, let alone judges/governors they themselves mega-donated to or whatever… It’s such a different world, I don’t think they see wars or everyday topics of discussion the same way we do.
We are all being played, distracted with bullshit. We must keep using every opportunity of discussion, argument, debate or insulting we see online to turn it about Class Warfare. Trump said something insanely racist about Obama? Don’t care, eat the rich, talk about how the rich are keeping you poor and distracted. Elon Musk shat himself? Don’t care. Eat the rich. Trump threatened with nuking an entire country, or half of the world? Don’t care. Eat the rich. What is he gonna do? Bomb us all until there is no Working Class left? Good luck. It’s the biggest flaws of nukes; the survivors will not accept whoever dropped it anymore. You won’t be able to force Humanity to do whatever you want by killing 50% of it, 80% of it, or even 100% of it which at that point is over. People will fucking hate you and they will remove you and replace you with someone who is the absolute opposite… and well, for so long they managed to lie to people and convince them that “communism/socialism means being dirty poor and a lazy fuck who doesn’t want to work and hates humanity”, but they are doing an amazing job at showing people the truth, that capitalism is actually that, the lazy fucks are the elite who don’t really know Algebra or Chemistry, they don’t write a single line of code or do absolutely anything meaningful for the product, they are just dudes with a lot of money who attracted talented artists because artists know they need the funding of someone big to be able to express themselves without limits. But what if we don’t rely on a few lazy fucks anymore, and instead rely on everyone as a whole? I don’t care if “technology” slows down a little, we need it to slow down. AI is replacing us all, it needs regulation or millions will keep starving to death or committing suicide. Being social, or working as a community, as the words communism and socialism imply, doesn’t mean being a lazy fuck or being broke, it’s the opposite, you work for the community, and community does the same. It won’t be perfect, human nature is what sucks the most, narcissism, lazy, jerks, jealously, traumas will still exist, that creates racism or discrimination in general. But fuck capitalism already, it only empowered these elite assholes so easily. We need to keep educating everyone as much as we can, that’s our biggest jab, and it has been working, to be honest. Compared to what the Internet used to think or be 20 years ago, we are so different now. It’s just that the assholes are not leaving quietly, that’s it. They are being super loud and hyping up the children to cheer them on, but just wait until those children grow up, man.
They will all realize some baby boomers had better lives than they had. 7+ children in average, a home at 19 years old, or at least a happy family of four without a college degree. The average age the current American is getting their first home at is 52 years old, not 19 anymore. The fertility rate used to be a solid constant 6.0+ for centuries before Reagan’s Trickle Down Economics, today, it’s a 1.5, which means, the amount of virgins, incels, single people, or couples not having children because it’s not feasible, are increasingly high. Sexual frustration can be a bitch. It’s so easy to squeeze it and channel it into hatred toward the elite. They are the ones who have all your money, afterall. They are the ones gatekeeping your future, your potential family, your bridge to the future like children, they are gatekeeping pussy for those who still talk like teenagers, man, fr, nocap, you are a virgin because you still think the elite deserve to live. You will never have even a quarter of what the average baby boomer had at your age because you still think the elite deserve to live. You cannot afford games at their full price, you have to wait for steam sales. You cry about RAM prices, housing or healthcare costs. Yet they’ll clap the 6 new yatches of Gabe Newell or whatever billionaire they cocksuck with their 6 teeth.
People still think the USA should be the World Police/Only Empire, when it shouldn’t.
I think you are right about WWII not being fought for higher ideals. That is the propaganda we got later on. Also, the connection between Nazism and the US is way stronger than you allude to. Ford and other industrialists helped bankroll the Nazi empire. Nazism was very popular in the US back then.
The US were not the good guys by any means. Those same wealthy industrialists lobbied against taking in the Jews when Hitler decided to expel them. They also helped reinforce anti-Jewish sentiment and made sure no one else would take the Jews in.
US companies like IBM gave material support to the Nazi as well. They developed the census system that was used to tattoo Jewish prisoners and then later helped out with the logistical efforts to make sure the optimal amount of Jews could be executed without backing up the trains.
As many people here on Lemmy are found of pointing out it was really Russia that did they heavy lifting of defeating the Nazi. The US showed up to take credit for solving the problem they helped create.
it is still an option
