    :astronaut-1: More influential people than these dorks did this years ago with the "walk away" shit.

      /pol/ won't be happy until the media's openly calling for the extermination of anyone who fails the paper bag test

          If their skin is lighter than paper bag = good

          Darker than bag = bad

          I'll add to the other reply that this was real historical shit too. People actually used this as a standard. Pretty sure it even appears in some old legal documents, but could be wrong about that part.

      It’s funny because these people would say the exact thing about leftists/liberals (they lump us all together)

    Counter op: Whenever you see liberal cringe and far right shit but can't reveal your power level, simply respond:

    "Thanks for pushing normal people even closer to the far left"

    "Are you trying to push people closer to the far left?"

    "Is making more far leftists your intention? Because that's what you're doing."

    "This will definitely radicalise people further left."

    "This made me realise I am a communist."

      I've unironically said this to people who were (and are still) angry about "Bernie bros". Don't want to give some minor concessions to the ungrateful poors and workers now? Fine. Your loss.

      It's interesting to think that I would still probably be a SuccDem today had Bernie won and was able to pass some decent legislation.

      It's the Moral Majority. This tactic has existed since before the internet. 8chan /pol/stains aren't actually numerous enough to write the playbook for the right; the self-justifying machinery of ideology in each of us is just very effective at identifying and reproducing these discursive tendencies.

    This has always been a thing. Conservatives are always whining that a "moderate" candidate from the opposing party hasn't been voted in, even after they go on TV and beg for the police to be funded.

    :comedian: You know I was an anarchist, but each lib is making me more sympathetic to gulags. :joker-troll:

    Unfortunately threats don’t work if you are not in power, so

      Half of them think Biden is a communist, the threat might and with some.

      If I want to make a chud get unsettled I like to tell them that I'm an armed communist with military combat experience, but I don't talk about my politics publicly, I'm mild mannered, like to grill, and I keep my lawn mowed. I'm white, have a good paying job, own a home, and go to church every Sunday... I grew up in far right wing circles and was raised to be racist, so I can speak their language and blend right in... I could be their next door neighbor and they'd never know...

      Some of it is embellished, I mean we've stopped going to church.

    This has been a mainstay in anti-communist propaganda since communism existed, not something that 4chan invented 4 years ago.
