The right won, they always do. Fascists are always one step ahead of the left and run this country like a mob boss.
Turning point USA? They're not just some cheeky trolls, they are the true controllers of academia, criticize the right too much and they will send their goons to [redacted] you. Free speech is a sham in this country because the nazi mob outnumbers any dissent a thousand to one and is nearly all-powerful.
Humans made up their mind: "Better dead than red". They would rather humanity go extinct than to see brown people no longer be tormented for white people's pleasure.
The right won, they always do.
wrong right off the bat. Even in a deeply reactionary capitalist country like the United States, slavery (well, outright chattel slavery, at least) was abolished, Women and POC got enfranchised, LGBT are more accepted than they were a century ago, and labor has won many rights. There is always the potential for things to get worse and to regress. Vigilance is needed, Revolutionary activity is needed, Sacrifice is needed, Education, agitation, and organization are needed. Pessimism of the mind, and revolutionary optimism of the heart are required. You must strive as though you have a chance even when you don't, because to lay down the fight will only make things worse. Defending the defenseless and improving their condition is an uphill battle and always will be. You will be demonized every step of the way, but they do not always win. They only sometimes win. As soon as you believe they always win it becomes an excuse to give up.
Free speech is a sham....
yes.
...In this country ....
No, it's a sham in general. It always exists conditionally. It can be wielded violently and it can taken away for whatever reason seems justifiable to those in power. Reactionaries who endanger victims must be deplatformed. Comrades must be given platforms. Free speech on its own, in this country and outside of it, are a liberal joke.
because the nazi mob outnumbers any dissent a thousand to one and is nearly all-powerful.
also wrong. reactionaries have class interests. they are bourgeois. They have socially-constructed norms of gender, religion, nationality, race, as well as material private property, and wealth they are afraid of being taken from them by the unwashed masses, so they lash out violently even when nothing is happening to them. Think about the reactionary couple that came out of their shitty McMansion and pointed their guns at BLM protesters marching by. They weren't being threatened. They were outnumbered by good people who weren't even paying them any mind. But they lashed out anyway. They only seem like they outnumber you because they control the discourse, but we in fact outnumber them, and always have. Read the words of James Madison, US founding father, and see the contempt for the masses dripping from his every word. There is a reason liberals always prefer representative parliamentary republics to true democracies. As long as the people are only voting to entrust a bourgeois representative with their interests, then elections can achieve little..

"Humans" did not "make up their" collective mind along these lines. The white supremacist bourgeois did. By attributing this loathsome mindset to all human beings you are accusing the very brown people you are concerned about as either A) desiring their own genocide or B) not actually falling under the umbrella of "human." And I know for a fact you don't actually believe that. You just haven't examined your own rhetoric. Glad you posted this in doomer and nowhere else.
Sorry comrade, but it sounds like you drank a big gulp of the defeatism juice.
The forces of capital want you to be hopeless, they want you to think there's never going to be a revolution. That way they can co-opt even anti-capitalist rhetoric into the cultural hegemony.
Making the Nazis appear to be a larger group than they actually are, is part of this.
I'd argue that in this moment communism feels closer, more inevitable, than it has for a while. I wasn't around to see the USSR so I can't compare to that experience, but right now looking at the movements that have erupted in recent years, a change is coming.
The contradictions of capitalism grow more and more clear, unions are returning, people are organising in the street, the fact that the liberals are trying to co-opt socialism (something that would have been perceived as a dirty word even a decade ago) shows that even the ruling class can see which way the wind's blowing.
The mob bosses (as you call them) can try to fight it, but they may as well be King Canute demanding the tide to move at his whim. The revolution is coming, and it has the weight of every past attempt behind it.
(Sorry for the long comment)
unions are returning, people are organising in the street
nature is healing
The more unhinged psychos who are annoying online and do shit like Christchurch are so over the fucking top crazy that if they got into power that shit would collapse in on itself anyway lol
I mean the people in charge right now are pretty...grounded in relation to your average Hyperborean Warrior (which is not saying much) and shit is still falling apart
As much as I lean into doomerism, getting high off culture war shit is only going to last so long for even the dumbest scumfuck conservatives before they realize that their beloved fascist junta still hasn't put bread on the table and oh hey we just lost our entire navy to Chinese and Russian missiles and oh look all of Albequerque died in climate change related heatwave
Yeah same, my views have really changed and crystallized a lot over the past couple of years, but I feel like nothing good has come of it, I just understand the predicament better. You know, a better model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
Also I was upset with my ex for, among other things, being too lib. But none of that shit seems to matter any more because well, now it's all doom and no companion. :|
Thanks to all the anti doomer action in this thread :order-of-lenin: for each of you.
