Political Memes

I mean, an explosion is a bit simpler than a polity, although I do agree that we should be aiming for political harmony, which I do not think will come from a state as means or ends

Letting capitalism spiral into fascism is literally what the Democratic party did but ok

It's kinda funny, how the right-wingers consistently manage to infiltrate parties and turn them into a vehicle for their own agenda, while the left-wingers are either busy fighting each other, or fighting whatever they perceive as "centrist". Funny in a sad way.

What about those people that realize how big of a game is being played to get them kids who would sit there and play video games and eat Cheetos twelve hours a day to get tf up outta their crusty battlestation and go be useful members of society.

A fisher of fish; catches fish and serves himself.

A fisher of men; catches people and serves society.

Jesus turned water to wine. He fixed the broken so they could do something of benefit to society.

Our culture is engineered.

We needed a big bad for the last twelve years, cuz your ass would be apathetic as fuck with your TOYS you masturbate your life away with, still, despite the biggest caricature of the devil we could put in front of a screen.

Dopamine is a bitch, ain't it?

I can't tell right now if it's too little too late, but some Democratic candidates are catching on, refusing to take corporate donations, AIPAC, etc.

After Hoover, it was impossible to get Republicans into the presidency until after the war (and then it was Eisenhower). Democrats got us the New Deal, the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act.

From Nixon forward, the only reason that Republicans have been able to get into power is due to hatred of blacks, opposition to abortion-access and a fuckton of voter suppression, gerrymandering, the electoral college and when those fail, election tampering. When elections are free and fair, we do in fact get Democrats, and while some of them are almost as corrupt as Republicans, they still sometimes push forward progress.

This time, I must admit, the MAGA movement has us in a wringer, especially since SCOTUS is loaded with antebellum extremists who are controlled by the ownership class. Since in the current system, they have the capacity to veto anyone else, the US may be screwed.

But then again, Trump, the Project 2025 coalition and SCOTUS are moving at breakneck speed bringing the nation to ruin, and making circumstances unlivable for huge portions of the population. Unlike the ten years of Nacht und Nebel that slowly wearied the German people as the German Reich seized power, the proverbial frog is being dropped right into boiling water.

Hence the visibility protests have been bigger than any ever seen in the US. Labor unions are forming, growing, and coordinating towards an effort of recurring general strikes. So I don't know how this ends.

Especially since, you know, that might happen at any time, either naturally or unnaturally, and dear leader has arranged time and again the humiliation of his would be successors. When it does happen, the whole MAGA movement goes down as well, and the Republican party will be a worse trainwreck than it was before Trump went down his escalator.

Nobody's saying not to fight. They're saying don't encourage things to get worse first.
