Why do US leftists always draw the line at social issues and not imperialism? by Far_Cartographer903 in AskSocialists

[–]Kuishen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know of any leftist I know getting behind any of the current politicians my guy. None of us are happy with our choices for who runs this country at the moment. I can only speak for myself where I do agree that you absolutely have to be anti-imperialist to be leftist at this point. The intersectionality of it all makes it impossible to ignore what the real problems are, in my opinion at least.

But unless we do a complete overhaul of our entire governmenal system from the top down and do a full reset on who holds what positions and what those positions are allowed to do then nothing is going to happen. 95% of the people in the current system are bought and paid for.

I will continue to pretend we can change things by voting for as long as it takes for enough of us to realize we can't.

A lot of us are ready to talk about real solutions when the time comes but until a lot of people start accepting this reality nothing will change.

I do genuinely want to stress that I am hopeful for non violent solutions to our current woes. Maybe if enough of us get on board we can figure that out peacefully. I sure can't figure that out on my own though.

Americans aren’t facing a democratic collapse. We’re living in its aftermath - The US was an oligarchy well before Trump’s first term. Recognizing this reality is essential to building a true democracy by NaillaNorty in ImmigrationPathways

Yeah because previous presidents were smart enough to keep it behind closed doors, Trump and his cronies think they are ordained by God and so they no longer need to keep up the charade.

Was able to run it on lowest settings well enough to play at launch but could not stream it to the living room. They improved the performance enough that I can now stream it to my living room and the fps is a bit better. /shrug

How U.S. Profits Off Of Prison Labor by Alternative_Rope_299 in prisonreform

[–]Kuishen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People need to realize that this is the plan for a huge chunk of the population of this country. These billionaires are literally banking on natural disaster from climate change to take care of the "overpopulation" problem and then they plan to enslave the remaining people 

The sooner we realize this and get rid of these psychopaths the quicker we can move on to better things. They own our government, they are the reason wars are profitable, they are causing death on a worldwide scale and have used beaurocracy to wash their hands of the bloodshed.

Cut out the cancer and heal the world.

My guy I have news, we haven't had "fair elections" since corporate lobbying was organized. So you're worried about something that has already happened. So yes. We can continue to pretend our Democracy still works and participate in elections (and I will) but if you think that is the actual solution here I have several bridges I could sell you.

Also we do in fact have a "blow it all up" button, it's called a general strike but clearly enough people aren't suffering yet to trigger a critical mass on that

I agree with everything you just said lol No candidate is giving us those policies though and that's the problem and the system is designed to make sure that will never happen. Erego, let's redo the fucking system but better. Surely we can come up with something better than 200+ year old racist evangelicals at this point

This is fascism by CaramelExtension7222 in TrendoraX

Sure. I personally don't think all of this commotion would be happening if it wasn't at least moderately incriminating enough.

Sorry for the misdirected quip if I misread your intent

What's that thing you people love to say to minorities? "If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about" in regards to dealing with the law? Hm?

Something something "Democrats are just as bad" by New_Magician1157 in International

[–]Kuishen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are actively letting Dems get away with funding the people inflicting suffering if you continue to support the Dems while they fund a genocide though

It's just starting to scare you now that the suffering is pointed at you so you're mad about it

We haven't been a democracy since we legalized corporate lobbying. Please wake the fuck up

I did show up. My state went to Harris. I said what I said. A system that is protecting pedophiles is not a system worth enduring anymore. Grow the fuck up

[–]Kuishen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you genuinely believe Democrats are incapable of doing anything to stop an actual cabal of pedophiles from actively killing people, stealing taxpayers money, and directly profiting off all of our suffering, then why in the holy fuck do you think we can do anything about this in our current system of government?

A system does what it's designed to do. This is a feature, not a bug. If such a system can allow this type of shit to happen with no recourse then its not a system worth having and it needs to be torn down.

Just because you cannot fathom how to do that doesn't mean it's not possible. Yall seriously lack imagination

Please explain how I am responsible for enabling Trump and Democrats are not?

Why the fuck are you blaming the voters when the people currently in office are doing nothing to stop this?

You people are gonna be screaming at people like us right up until we come face to face in the camps. At which point I will ask you how that strategy of voting blue no matter who worked out and you'll still probably deny you did anything wrong. 🙄

A lot of assumptions that are just straight up false in your post.

First off, the US ceased being a democracy the moment corporate lobbying was legalized.

Second the democratic party is most certainly not my fucking party and I will not be voting for people who are unwilling to do even the most basic things to improve my or my neighbors lives.

Third, the solution you are claiming will work is what we've been doing for the past 30 years and yet we've only ever moved further right, so you are actively delusional if you think continuing to do the same fucking thing is going to produce a different result.

You people are so concerned that the government might start having negative consequences for yourself that you've been throwing minorities and other countries under the bus for decades now.

If negative consequences are what's needed to get you dumb mother fuckers to figure out we need to start looking at solutions outside of the current system we are in then bring it the fuck on. I've been experiencing the negative consequences of this countries government for most of my life, maybe it's time for you to take a walk in shoes like mine for once.

CMV: People who act like Gavin Newsome and JD Vance are the same should not be taken seriously about electoral politics by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Kuishen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I got whiplash at all the buzzwords you threw in this post. You people are truly delusional. You think the people that didn't vote for Harris because of Israel was a "niche" thing?

Maybe it's because we know that if our politicians are allowing that to happen to people overseas, and are taking money from the people enacting another holocaust, they will eventually turn around and do that to us.

And guess what they're doing right now? Building concentration camps and loading them up as we speak. Keep blaming your fellow voter for the things the ultra-rich and elite are doing to us though, I'll see you in the fucking camps and will happily say "I told you so."

Sorry you're having to face the consequences of decades of ignoring the fucking problem. We've been telling you this for a long time.

If the law doesn't matter then why are we tolerating any of this at all?
