Yes these radlibs also supported overthrowing Assad and US occupation forces in Syria stealing oil. They supported destroying Libya. They supported the Hong Kong colonialist tantrums. Every single time the rubber meets the road they are on the side of imperialism. Only decades later to they ever admit they were wrong, if we are lucky, and that never seems to change their current day chauvinism
How is that a paradox? Why would a communist support a rightwing fascist capitalist party of the rich like the Democrats? We support the working people
Most people don’t disown ignorant family and friends outright unless they really cross a line. This guy being passively terrible probably causes them to just generally lose touch though
Hey man it’s ok for me to say it, I have a black friend…
Hilarious too because they admit they voted for Trump in 2016.
So I guess we need to listen to the guy who voted for a “dangerous fascist” about how dangerous he is? It’s like when Germans try to Germansplain genocide because they are experts at it
I wish, unfortunately it’s very difficult to gain permanent residency in almost all of the socialist states and they are under intense siege and embargo by the dominant Liberal world order.
Homie look at all the European “liberals” clamoring over themselves to arm and fund Nazis to kill Russian orcs. They only pretend to be above that shit, when rubber meets the road they all fall in line.
If all it takes to make a Liberal into a fascist is a scratch, they were always a fascist with a thin coat of paint.
you are never going to find a perfect candidate
We don’t need perfect, just good (ie communist) although right now I’d settle for a non-warmonger anti-imperialist Liberal who didn’t support genocide, but none such options are available because we live in a genocidal war nation.
You having fun alternating between two rich fucks who want to suck your soul out? When will you learn neither is on your side?
All of them bourgeois Liberal dictatorships
The original fascists invented austerity and deregulation and privatization. The Nazis and Italian fascists were the pioneers of these policies, unwinding the regulations and social policies of the social Liberals that came before them.
They are functionally indistinguishable from the “economic Liberalism” described elsewhere in this thread and “Libertarianism”. It’s all the same thing in different degrees.
American Liberals are extremely nationalistic, chauvinist, revanchist, warmongering and imperialistic. Your point of difference doesn’t even apply
Yes you have always been a Liberal because you exist in a hegemonic Liberal society, ie the only option presented ever are various flavors of Liberal. You are like a fish who doesn’t understand what water is because you’ve never tried to jump above its surface
I would contend that Fascism is a subtype of Liberal. You go down far enough the neoliberal path and you are suddenly fascist, there’s 0 hard dividing line
Everyone who isn’t a communist is a Liberal, yes.
I’m going to vote for neither and pull out a weapon
The answer to the trolley problem is destroying the trolley, not hitting the lever
“I’m not a liberal I voted for a liberal”
Convincing argument, now face the wall
Nietzsche wrote in Thus Spake Zarathustra: All truth is crooked; time itself is a circle. (this is a translation, so there’s various versions)

Basically people here just like Rust and identify with his cynical and jaded outlook, and in our lowest moments agree that we don’t want to know anything anymore and history has no justice and truth is crooked. Rust is a cool guy. It’s about that simple.
It also dovetails in with Marx’s quote about history repeating itself. Once as tragedy, then as farce. History just keeps happening over and over and getting stupider and stupider and nobody is learning anything.
It’s a reference to True Detective which is a reference to Nietzsche. Maybe don’t start insulting people’s intelligence when you don’t even understand the joke
I gifted 10 RANDOM Iranians a nuke. You won’t guess what happened next!
