• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are these ICE agents allowed to fire on protestors like this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was in the CJ field for 10 years, which opened my eyes to a lot. I know you think “they’re fascists who ignore the law” is reductionist or untrue, but that is literally it. It is that simple. It is also not new, regular law enforcement in the US has been exactly like this for pretty much our entire history.

  When you break the law, and you have powerful deeply ingrained cultures and institutions backing you that will look away or refuse to apply the law to you, then the law effectively does not exist. Laws are social contracts that are invented entirely by us, and literally do not exist if not enforced. The universe does not care. There is no karmic balance that steps in to even things out.

  I think many are just ignoring this or trying to rationalize it some other way, because it is terrifying to come to terms with when you are told your entire life that these institutions, police and courts and laws and checks and balances, are in place to protect you. Law enforcement in the US has fascism and nationalism baked into its core, and most of them are actively wanting what ICE is doing. Many law enforcement are in their ranks or are assisting in ways that most people don’t even realize. And beyond that, the rest of our judicial and political systems are also being manipulated or just blatantly ignored to pave the way for this.

  Ultimately the question being posed to the US at this point is, what happens when the people in power do not care or feel empathy, except for their own goals, and there is no sufficient opposition. There are no easy answers to this. When two opposing forces collide, one or the other has to give in some way. ICE has had basically zero consequences for their actions, despite how blatantly illegal and wrong they are. So far, their side is applying more force and it shows.

  Just because you were ignorant and bought the propaganda doesn’t mean everyone has. The US has always been an imperialist bully built on rampant capitalism, nationalism, and a misguided self-image of being exceptional. Instead of whining and incorrectly projecting that everyone was as gullible as you, perhaps you should focus on asking others to help you understand the US and its place globally in history, so you are less susceptible to more propaganda.

  If even a fraction of the general US population was willing or capable of recognizing the reality of what the US is and has done, we’d be much better equipped to deal with the situation we’re in. Instead, most choose to get indignant if you even dare to suggest they may be or were the bad guy at any moment ever.

  All people are people, regardless of where they live. Borders are just another way for capitalists to fuel the class war. Keep malding that I’m not a tankie 🤙

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political discourse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good thing being left of center is far more nuanced than communism, then.

  Also, not going to get into a debate about whether certain people should be considered people or whatever you’re baiting, sounds like fascism to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political discourse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So to sum up:

  1. You think punishing immigrants will fix issues caused by capitalists somehow, don’t worry about it they deserve it anyways

  2. Whatever sciences you dislike (you keep saying social sciences, which I assume is a dogwhistle for anything you consider woke as you won’t give specifics) are fake, but you can’t prove it, just google it bro, you’ll find the truth

  3. You believe the fascist regime is doing a lot of things right

  But it’s us leftists that argue in bad faith and have no ideology, and are wrong for opposing things like fascism.

  Thanks for playing.

  Reeeeeeeeeee I spouted centrist nonsense in a leftist space and I’m getting ratio’d reeeeeee

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political discourse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes? You do realize tankies are a minority group and that in many nations “leftist” is just a normal political position?

  I’m honestly not sure what you’re trying to say here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political discourse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Our nation is not overwhelmed with immigrants stealing our jobs and resources, as much as fox news has convinced you that is the case. It’s in fact fascists and capitalists doing that, not that I expect you understand the difference between the working class and capiltalist class.The problem with you people, to use your phrasing, is you think there are MS13 members on every block shooting Americans and taking their paychecks, but “the left” is covering it up.

  2. You keep saying there are studies and provable facts showing science is fake. Let’s see it, show us your peer reviewed sources showing us how fake science is.

  3. You did not say corporations. You said farms. Should I quote it back to you? Here: “But farms are already inefficient, corrupt, and mismanaged and also living on the government tits”. No coincidence that the Trump regime says the same shit and is cutting agriculture funding and instead lining billionaire pockets, which brings us back to point one. Though I’d imagine you think the leftist immigrants are also the CEOs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political discourse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First, I never said they were a socialist. Pretty clear they aren’t, not sure where you’re going with that. Second, they’re criticizing the government using tax dollars to ensure we have functional agriculture. Cutting funding for agriculture and giving the funding to corporations instead is literally being carried out by the regime, as shown in project 2025 and with doge cuts.

  But sure, we can just assume it’s a coincidence that they agree with the fascists on that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political discourse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, that had a semblance of socialism and rational thought to it, but the fact that they spin it as a negative and imply that the government shouldn’t be funding social welfare is pretty clear in showing that they’re too ignorant to actually understand what socialism is.

  Ironic, considering that right-wingers more than any other group rely on sucking the governments tit to survive day to day

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political discourse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you’re leaving the US, considering you’re an illegal immigrant here right? I mean, unless you’re indigenous it seems pretty illegal for you to claim any right to live here and boot others out. See the issue with saying people are illegal?

  “Living on the governments tit” is straight up right-winger bullshit. We pay taxes, why the fuck should the government hoard that money and use it on shit that doesn’t benefit the people? That is the ENTIRE FUCKING POINT of a government, to pool resources and skills to better society as a whole.

  You think science is bullshit and that higher education should be “creatively” destroyed. How you think that isn’t fascism is some serious mental gymnastics.

  You could continue, but you know your viewpoint is hard right and you’re too cowardly to stick around and defend your bullshit because your fragile fee-fees will be hurt.
