"Well you know I'm a military man. My opinion is we need to carpet bomb Russia. If they want to push the button and use nukes, fine. I know there's a life after this one and I know where I'm going. I don't have time to play games."

He was in the marines. He's parents were gusanos. He's a leader of the small business community. He's very Christian, has a bible verse painted on the hallway of the entrance to work. He keeps bringing up race at work. He literally said "Yeah I'm racist. I'm proud too. If you disagree, come talk to me about it." Then he brought up race again today. He mainly hates black people. He talks worse shit openly than even most white people I've met. It's really astounding. He once said he had a friend who has this great sniper rifle and was talking about picking off Democrats. He laughed about it.

Just absolute full on reactionary brain worms. The last time I heard someone openly talk about carpet bombing was the Iraq War. It's just so jarring to hear it again out loud.

Anyway this is in c/doomer because I don't see any way to rehabilitate these people. I know we should try. I know it's likely a lot of bravado that would change given the right conditions. But right now gulags sound fucking good to me. I can't really see a future where we have communism and not at least a little bit of gulag for a while. And I fear I'm going to curse any leftist who tries to say we can't have authoritarianism. Because I don't see any other way through this. We need a dictatorship, in every sense of the word, of the proletariat.
