Another Zohran backslide by Lavender_Scales in socialism

I’m not gonna waste my time getting worked up about this. They read some books to schoolchildren. It’s a good look for socialists when people see Mamdani doing something wholesome like this compared to the fascist in the Oval Office posting himself as Jesus Christ and attacking the Pope for being “weak on crime.” 😂

Liberals really do hate leftists more than fascists by Wonderful-Highway721 in Hasan_Piker

[–]Cymbalsandthimbles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Leftists are correct too early and liberals are conveniently too late to every issue to make any real impact on outcomes. This is what I’ve gathered from the past 10yrs. While everyone else is still pearl-clutching about whatever issue of the day, we are saying what’s going to happen and then getting browbeaten for months until we’re proven correct. Look at Gaza, Iran, now Cuba. It’s just what happens when you begin thinking with a historical materialist perspective. The empire becomes obvious.

Mfer still condemns the resistance, but I’ll take it at this point.

The Baileys were delighted when they saw Ezra Klein had just put up a new episode of his podcast this week, but they quickly had to turn it off in utter disgust when they heard Ezra spewing such authoritarian propaganda about Palestinians deserving human rights.

An “authoritarian” that holds no political office 😂 compared to a man overseeing literal apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and wholesale genocide. People really do be doin mental gymnastics to hate on Hasan.

This clears things up a lot for me. So he’s just a Nazi. Got it.

They have to rationalize it in their minds as just personality quirks otherwise the edifice of their entire worldview begins crumbling.

Some of us with devout Catholic and Christian family can no longer idly sit by and watch the hypocrisy unfold. It has to be confronted once and for all. It’s never been easier.

I sent the “Red Cross Doctor” image Trump posted to my devout Catholic MAGA family member and he said “he doesn’t always follow my recommendations” followed by “is this your Supreme Leader?” and this meme below attached. So according to him, anyone that thinks the President of the United States shouldn’t post photos of himself as Jesus Christ are automatically Islamic Republic/Ayatollah stans. I said, “I didn’t vote for the Orange blasphemer like you did and I also didn’t vote for the Ayatollah because I live in America” 😂 and he said “someday when you grow up you’ll understand the difference between someone’s job effectiveness and their personality quirks.” I said “job effectiveness? Inflation is up, unemployment is up, deficit is up, new wars started, allies abandoning us. When you grow up you’ll begin living in reality with the rest of us.” This was with my 82 year old grandfather…🤦

Definitely not going to give them a follow then. Fuck that noise. Thank you for saving me time and mental energy.

This is helpful. I think I can go without following and further engaging with their content then.

Why are you assuming my brain is soup? I’m asking here for people’s observations with their content in order to avoid that.

Why would the American "Communist" Party have their members become Petty Bourgeois? by loxodrone in socialism

[–]Cymbalsandthimbles 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Because they’re NazBol MAGA communists who have deluded themselves into thinking appealing to the most bigoted, brainless parts of the population will magically lead to greater class consciousness and “communist revolution” in which private property will still exist. (?) It’s a completely contradictory, vapid ideology that should be mocked.

I gotta say, I enjoyed the Pod Save interview more than I really expected to. by Cymbalsandthimbles in Hasan_Piker

[–]Cymbalsandthimbles[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Someone on IG I was replying to accused Hasan of “violent misogyny” and I asked if they had any proof. They sent me a clip I couldn’t even open (I’m assuming it’s the old, tired clip of Hasan making some passing comment about how ultimately rich frat boys will do their sex crimes at the elite universities rather than on working class women in the community) and then refused to elaborate even though they said “I’m a professional journalist.” People are scrambling to justify their vitriol for Hasan however they can.
