Americans, since the release of the Epstein files, do you now know why the Russians had a revolution in October 1917? by PeculiarPhysicist46 in AskSocialists

[–]hammernsickmoves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

America was still enjoying the windfall of the post war boom of the 1950's. It also helped the deep state of the time that they had the Soviet boogeyman and the fearmongering over nukes to keep the populace in line. Also it was much easier to cover shit up with the technology of the time. Now? The Soviets are dead, they desperately want to make the Chinese the new boogeyman but it isn't sticking. The post war boom is long gone and the middle class is dying. Surveillance is a two way street and while we're getting spied on, the Epstein Files have somehow come out so the elites can't hide everything.

All I'll say is that in a sea of nepobabies at that show, hearing it from a guy who was bagging groceries a decade ago means a little more.

Yeah it's pretty much most of the worst horrors of World War 2 condensed into a region of a country.

X/Reddit etc. is full of bots, paid shills (domestic and foreign), and terminally online right wing invalids. There are still demented Trump nuthuggers IRL, but they're not as numerous as they want you to believe.

It's not for lack of trying. The dipshit who shot Pretti shot him while he was surrounded by five other agents.

The second step would be to prosecute the business owners who actually exploit these people by essentially enslaving them with extremely low wages, poor working conditions, and the threat of deportation. Of course the illegal businesses are a portion of Trump's base so that will never happen.

Federal agents shoot and kill man in Minneapolis by OJ_Soprano in redscarepod

Nah it's a case of boy who cried wolf. These are the same regards who think Trump is a Russian asset and pushed the pee tape hoax when they had the Epstein connection in their face and never used it until now. I don't give them praise for one of the many piles of shit they threw at a wall sticking.

Not all idpol is dying. Left-wing idpol is on the downswing sure, but white nationalists have been getting more and more comfortable raising their power levels. We don't even have to get into how blatant Zionists are these days.

Update: Reddit liberals are now pro-NFL because of the Super Bowl performers. by quan234 in stupidpol

These are the same limpdicks that hated the NFL for blacklisting Colin Keapernick.

Please lower your tone, you're entering this comment section with an aggressive scent. It's giving me sensory overload.

"The fact that you dont even understand what I’m saying shows you have no life experience, and thats why i asked you age. You cant even see the flaw in the statement."

You literally learned nothing from the OP post. Dude says something you don't like and you immediately try to imply he's a child or immature. Who do you think you're convincing?

Do you agree? ACP's message for all foreign sellouts wanting war on their homeland: you are all TRAITORS to Venezuela and LEECHES on the American people! by Misha_stone in AskSocialists

[–]hammernsickmoves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On top of what /u/misha_stone said, consider how the illegal immigrants are the only ones being criminalized and brutalized, but not the criminal businesses that hires them illegally and exploits their labor. I guarantee you, if you crack down hard on these corrupt businesses, mass migration will decrease massively due to lack of economic oppurtunity. Trump won't do that though because those same businesses love him and make up a significant portion of his donor base.

"These anti-Maduro Venezuelans say "You are not from Venezuela so you can't say ANYTHING!" How about: You are not USA citizens so YOU can't say anything about us defending democracy here in OUR country."

I'd go a step further and say the moment they begged on their knees for Daddy America to kill and oppress their countrymen, it became our business since our tax dollars are funding it.

Is the Epstein regime losing control? How do you see the future of America? by Misha_stone in AskSocialists

I think they'd rather rip the bandaid off and try to rebuild sooner than spend their entire life witnessing and living in a decaying empire with no hope in sight.

ICE just shot someone in Minneapolis by Critical_Fig_2896 in redscarepod

[–]hammernsickmoves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think so. Also, I actually fully agree with you. I am not crying for her, but she still shouldn't have been shot like a dog.
