Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?
Nope.
P.S. this topic is highly controversial
Not really.
- Comment on I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas? 3 weeks ago:
Scratch a fascist and a liberal bleeds.
- Comment on Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are? 3 weeks ago:
Why do you need to imply I have some racist agenda here?
This you?
Putin has singlehandedly caused more death and suffering than anyone else.
- Comment on I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas? 4 weeks ago:
I’d suggest NOT giving him more liberalism, since that has already has already demonstrated the predictable outcome.
- Comment on Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are? 4 weeks ago:
The (so-called) “War On Terror” unleashed by George Bush has caused about 900,000 dead. That is just the death DIRECTLY caused by warfare and not the far, far greater number of people dead through indirect causes such as starvation and disease as a result.
Or does it only count in your book when the people dying “look like us”?
- Comment on Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are? 4 weeks ago:
Putin is a scumbag, but he still has a long way to go to even beat George Bush Jnr, and he doesn’t even scratch the paint on Henry Kissinger’s record levels of crimes perpetrated against humanity.
- Comment on Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are? 4 weeks ago:
Putin has singlehandedly caused more death and suffering than anyone else.
And your proof of this is… what?
I almost never see the kind of hateful, nasty, and mean comments directed at him
Because Putin is not a product of the US. Trump is, and, to a large extent, so is Musk.
- Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine? 5 weeks ago:
Look at Michael Flynn.
So, you chose an example from another country that also cannot win it’s wars despite an overwhelming technological and logistical advantage over it’s victims?
The Palestinians doesn’t seem to have any problems trusting theirs. I wonder why?
That’s because history
History is not an excuse to assign white supremacism any kind of “superiority.”
This seems like an emotional opinion.
Really? I find it funny that a person that claims to base their opinion on history doesn’t seem to understand the intimate link between liberalism and fascism.
- Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine? 5 weeks ago:
If you think Palestine is going to survive for much longer,
The literal ex-commander of the Gaza division doesn’t share your denialism. about Israel’s chances.
Like I said… you give white supremacism a lot of credit.
So expect more of our BOOM BOOMs
You mean the ones that are already there?
Yes, and the last time they got REAL power it took millions of lives
Oh no… they were costing millions of lives looooong before Mussolini gave it a name. And western liberal society was perfectly fine with it both before and after as long as it remained in the colonized world.
It’s almost as if liberalism simply accepts that a bit of fascism every now and then is simply the cost of doing business.
- Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine? 5 weeks ago:
Have they tried as hard as they’re trying right now?
Nope. They have never been this desperate.
Did they have someone named Donald Trump who was interested in helping them
The (so-called) “west” has been interested in helping them since 1948. That’s why they have the kind of firepower now they could only have dreamt of in 1948 - and they are failing nonetheless.
or at least entirely getting out of their way
The US isn’t standing in their way. Palestinians with RPG-7s are standing in their way.
white supremacists are willing to go when given enough power.
White supremacism gave itself all the power it wanted all over the world. And yet, despite this power, one by one the colonialist chickens was forced to come home to roost after the failure of white supremacism to remain dominant in the colonized world. It’s now the US’s turn to experience that failure.
- Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine? 1 month ago:
How do we prevent our government
It’s really simple. You start getting your head around the idea of actually OPPOSING your own government.
Don’t pretend you don’t know how to do this. Antifa and BLM have already shown you how to do this.
- Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine? 1 month ago:
You can send the US military directly in to finish the job.
You want the US to lose another war?
- Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine? 1 month ago:
Because supporting that genocidal white supremacist colonialist project is US POLICY.
- Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine? 1 month ago:
Don’t tell other people to read anything when it’s perfectly clear you don’t know what the fuck you are gibbering about.
- Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine? 1 month ago:
Don’t tell the liberals that. If you spook them now, they might start “reaching across the aisle” today instead of next week.
- Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine? 1 month ago:
Palestine will cease to exist.
You mean Israel has been trying, and failing, to do since 1948?
You sure do give white supremacists a lot of credit, don’t you?

Again. This makes you less of a capitalist bootlicker… how, exactly?

No, Clyde. You’re not.
You are just politically incoherent, like people who call themselves “fiscally conservative and economically progressive” (or whatever claptrap so-called “centrists” tell themselves).
Liberalism fetishizes capitalism. If you’re anti-capitalist, you have abandoned liberalism.
This is not complicated.
Next you’ll be telling me you’re an anarcho-fascist.
- Comment on US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? 1 month ago:
It doesn’t correlate with liberalism across the world.
Really? Find me an anti-capitalist liberal. that should be very easy if this…
It doesn’t correlate with liberalism across the world.
…was the truth.
- Comment on US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? 1 month ago:
How is this true?
No, it’s not true. The liberals never had the working class’ backs.
Liberalism fetishizes capitalism, remember?
I don’t doubt Bernie Sanders though - he seems like a straight truth teller.
He’s not consciously lying - Bernie, like all liberals, actually believes you can (somehow) represent both the interests of the working class while also representing the interests of the capitalist class that is parasitizing off their labor. As any leftist will tell you, this is pure delusion.
- Comment on "The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK." 1 month ago:
It works on liberals because they pretend to be the “good” cop. Give something similar to Trump and you’ll just be flattering him and his white supremacist base. They want genocide.
- Comment on "The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK." 1 month ago:
Oh look… it’s Genocide Joe.
- Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US? 1 month ago:
The loud and proud fascists want shit like mass deportations.
Keeping the expendable labor violently repressed is literally one of the main “services” fascism renders to the liberal (ie, capitalist) order. What did you think all this “immigrant” hysteria was really all about?
No, they don’t want deportations - that’s just what they tell the rank-and-file goons in order to get them to do the dirty work. They want all the expendable labour appropriately terrorized, under constant threat of state brutality and violently prevented from integrating with US society. Ie, it’s literally as old as the Book Of Exodus.
So no. This is good for business. And the Reagen-fascists knows this as well as the Trump-fascists do. It’s just the vile way in which capitalism has always used fascism to further it’s own ends.

old guard Reaganite Republicans
So, the non-overt fascists?
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
the will to kill and immunity from their actions.
That’s what they’ve ALWAYS been.
There’s a good reason leftists say, “Fascism is just colonialism coming home to roost.”
What they have been doing in the rest of the world they will be doing to YOU sooner or later, and no amount of “voting harder” is going to stop that from coming to pass.
You don’t get to decide that. It’s inevitable. The only thing you get to decide is what YOU will be doing about that.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
The left is such a small population in the US, it’s irrelevant.
And yet this “irrelevant” left managed to beat the far-right off the streets despite the far-right enjoying the support and protection of the police, not to mention luxurious funding. You don’t have to believe me, you can hear it from a Neo-Nazi himself.
It’s almost like… if you were to stop paying attention to the liberal gaslighting you might realize the answer was right in front of you all this time.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil.
Firstly, undestanding what left actually is would be a good start. You’re not talking about the left. You’re talking about liberals. Liberalism isn’t left. Liberalism is right-wing, and always have been.
The actual left is very happy to be “uncivil.”
Secondly, a good second step would be to finally accept that liberals, and liberalism in general, has never, and will never, oppose fascism.
Those are two very basic things you can do right now.
- Comment on If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump? 1 month ago:
They won’t.
It’s like MLK said - the white liberal will always prefer “a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.”
That’s the whole reason they didn’t bat an eyelid when Neo-Nazis and KKK-boys were marching under open police protection back in 2016 but collectively lost their shit when antifa showed up to physically confront them.

Nah, I don’t really think I want to play a Nazi simulator. Besides, there’s already something akin to that out there. It’s Call Of Duty.
