I’m not on Twitter, so I get my news elsewhere, but most of the actual pictures I see are from here. So is there some kind of bias where only the fascist imagery gets posted here in the the dunk tank? Or do the libs scrolling through Ukrainian posts on Twitter literally see and ignore fascist imagery on every single post? Like, if they see 1000 Ukrainian soldiers, will they see 1000 fascist symbols?

      Liberals saying everything that's not liberalism is fascism again.

      Illiberalism ≠ fascist.

      This is why you see liberals that are as afraid of antifa as they are of Nazis.

      Everything unlike them is the same to them the same way they can't tell the faces of non-white people apart lol.

      It's not a command economy like you're interpreting here. It's a grift economy. Basically, it's a freak hybrid of public/private company structure that functionally allows Putin to reward his favorite cronies with high-rolling executive positions while also providing shitty, expensive service to the Russian people. It's really not all that far removed from a lot of what we've got going on in the US.

        Basically, it's a freak hybrid of public/private company structure that functionally allows Democrats and Republicans to reward their cronies with high-rolling executive positions while also providing shitty, expensive service to the American people

            Libs always lying to themselves that what there seeing isn't the inevitable endpoint for liberal capitalism

            What are they going to do, command the economy not to do that?

            The inevitable next step now that capitalism has outlived it's usefulness and can no longer produce utility without being commanded?

            Marxism-Leninism also has an inevitable endpoint once production is sufficiently developed that the state is no longer necessary as the conditions of reaction (such that create the grounds for rival classes to arise) have been abolished.

            Leftists differ from their political rivals by recognizing the inevitability of history. Even social democrats think they can keep going indefinitely.

            Radical liberals are conservatives the same way that monarchists hung on to the immortality of political systems that have nothing left to contribute.

          To be fair, they did close with "It's really not all that far removed from a lot of what we've got going on in the US." I think this person is pretty much on the right track, they just haven't been exposed yet to enough actual theory to rid them of the more pernicious liberal brainworms.
