Comment on Rage for the machine?

• SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I’m saying “leftists” are part of the same machine they pretend to rage against. For fascism to take hold, it needs to destroy political opposition (democrats) discredit the free press and it needs enemies to hate.

  Leftists are are useful idiots of the fascist machine.

    Democrats are controlled opposition paid by the exact same donors as the openly fascist republicans. Just because they don’t want to actively kick out brown people and take basic rights does not meant that they aren’t perfectly willing to continue those policies elsewhere.

    There is no true opposition party in the US because it is a dual party system meaning there will always be an “underdog opposition” fighting for a silent majority which magically never appears.

    What does get people active is real opposition politics, not stale milquetoast Democratic walk-back policies meant to appease the republicans.

    Blaming the Dems consistent failures on “leftists” as if everyone left of the dems is some cohesive entity is not only a strawman argument, but is actively covering for their failures and willingness to participate as the neo-liberal wing of this fascist empire.

    Its victim blaming at its finest, demonizing those who call for our politicians to do better and actually serve the people.

      Wow you’re really dedicated to attacking the political opposition to fascism. Been consuming a lot of media coming from “leftists” that have been recommended to you by the big tech companies?

      Have you been listening to Hasan? I see he’s currently on the front page of twitch.tv, a company which is owned by Jeff Bezos.

      Yeah, you’re totally not part of the machine at all LOL.
