there’s nothing neo about this, let’s not even give them the credit of originality. This is exactly what happened 100 years ago.

Organize. Sabotage. General strike. Protest. Political action isn’t one day every four years.

they’re too busy sanewashing totally normal ideas like seperating children from parents, tariffs on every import, and mass deportation. Totally rational positions squarely in the overton window.

What will they say about the concentration camps those immigrants are rounded up into? What will they say about the military being deployed to round up residents? I guess we’ll find out.

Taxing billionaires though, how radical

The Democrats have been spoiling elections plenty on their own

The abortion issue is part of fascism. It creates a lower unequal class out of women.

wouldn’t it be nice if the profit motive wasn’t the only driving force of the economy?

it’s easier to raise tariffs so that efficiently produced foreign electric cars are just as expensive. God bless America

and that’s all it is, a reference not a joke.

A good example of a pavlov joke is the one where pavlov goes to a bar after work, and just as he’s about to order the phone rings in the bar and he shouts “oh shit I forgot to feed the dogs!”

an eye for an eye is more restrained than the Israeli response

out of the principle of charity I chalked it up to the type of person who fixates on the wrong thing but I suspect you’re right

People are explaining the nuance to you and you’re not getting it, maybe it wasn’t an act.

Don’t deprive German consumers of Coca Cola they did nothing wrong

You are adding degrees of indirection that don’t apply, the playing dumb act is one thing but all you can say with your reasoning is they shouldn’t play in Afghanistan or China which people might agree with.

Nobody’s saying they shouldn’t play in Germany because Germany supports Israel.

granted, I should have given more thought to my hyperbolic hypothetical.

point being I dread to think what “lesser evil” we’re looking at when the time comes

let he who is without sin cast the first stone isn’t really about encouraging everyone to cast stones simultaneously and at will

I’m (truly) not sure if this reasoning applies to the people of Israel at large. To be fair, the same can increasingly be said of Americans who continue to support Republicans as they go mask off.

If there was a strong unified labor force we could use general strikes and other collective action to fight back. I don’t know why the American left isn’t trying to organize something like this.

if we’re imagining a better place why not go further? private ownership over collective production is the only way such gross amounts of wealth are possible.

A 100% tax bracket is fine and all, but why don’t we reimagine the economy so that individuals aren’t controlling so much of it? We built the infrastructure, we built the factories, we invented the machines and algorithms.

20 years ago it was Bush and the Cheneys that were so bad we would have been told to vote for anyone running Blue.

Can’t wait to vote for the Democratic candidate in 2048 based on the idea that they’ll only conscript first-born children into mandatory asteroid farming and have Barron Trump’s enforcement over Megahitler.

You had me believing you thought in the first half of your comment but then your proved otherwise
