In a year that kicked off with the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, threats against Congress members are soaring: 4,135 in just the first three months.

:kelly: sounds like an UNcivil war is brewing.

    Well that's what I meant originally when I said critical support. My support in this instance doesn't go any further than saying "lmao owned" on the hexbear thread about it and moving on with my day

      That's not critical support. This is the like the Ashley Babbit struggle session yesterday - people laughing at her aren't (and shouldn't be) supporting the cops.

      Fascists - you do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to them.

        I didn't see that struggle session so idk what you're reference specifically so I guess I'm just using the phrase critical support wrong, sorry

          I didn’t see that struggle session

          Good for you, honestly. Wish I hadn't. :yea:

          And yeah, critical support is for guys like Assad, not random fascists killing other enemies.

          Edit: the other thing is that yes, liberalism creates the conditions for fascism and leads to it. However, that doesn't mean that fascists killing liberals is a positive development. It's indicative of a growing strength of fascism which is, of course, bad for the proletariat.

              Because Assad is

              a) not a fascist

              b) the leader of an independent country, and leader of the political force which keeps it stable and livable for its inhabitants

              c) resisting american imperialism, which is related to point b

              Look to Libya or Iraq for examples of what would happen if America unseated his government.

              Why would you even compare him to a random rabid American chud? The question isn't "what's the difference", it's "what's the similarity".
