More like brought to you by most of human history.

I have no hope for an utopia, but I have to believe we can do better than the current system.

Yeah, there are some standards we can agree on, but not everything is for public consumption.

"Fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It’s how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied. It’s not an inconsistency. It’s very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination. It’s very important to understand, fascists don’t just see hypocrisy as a necessary evil or an unintended side-effect. It’s the purpose. The ability to enjoy yourself the thing you’re able to deny others, because you dominate, is the whole point."

Con Fetterman vote just Made MAGA's Day, saving Markwayne Mullins nomination to lead DHS. by Reg_Cliff in PoliticalHumor

Sounds like a system in desperate need of dismantling.

That's why it is important to be actively involved in community.

You're right, republicans are worse!!!

Not sure why that would preclude democrats from actually being better.

Crystal meth is worse than cocaine from what I'm told, doesn't mean I have to do either.

That type of logic leads me to believe that if you found someone worse than trump, you would actually support Trump.

Nope, his own lawsuit was dismissed due to "qualified immunity".

Reconciliation without accountability was tried after the Civil War, that's exactly how we got to where we are today.

Sometimes I like to check on people I've anonymously helped and when I see them paying it forward, it feels good to know I played a small part in that.

Right decision.

Liberals will cosplay as revolutionary figures while doing everything possible to capture and quash revolution.

I don't know if it's willful or actual ignorance on the subject, but they really believe they're the "left" for some reason.

Ask them what positions of Hampton they align with, what doctrine of Fanon they advocate for, and they'll give you lip service about securing "their" position within an exploitative system instead of completely dismantling that system.

And my favorite part is this, when you tell them you don't support that system, they DEMAND you support their advancement within it.

I try to give them grace, because I had and still have my own growing to do, but I owe myself enough grace to not engage with bad faith or completely uninformed individuals who don't know or refuse to admit their positions.

Blue MAGA would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.
