accelerate deez nuts into ur mouth
it is not good that macron won
this is not an endorsement of Le Pen, and is 100% correct. skull boy continues to have good takes.
The only thing I trust less than listening to V**** debating a point is watching a V**** subreddit debating a point.
There was a poll on the V*ush sub where a majority of the users selected "I would wait to hear Vaush's opinion on it" on foreign policy issues. Like why wait for their beard daddy to spoon feed them propaganda when they could simply check to see what the U.S. state department's position was.
Oh my god I saw one of these guys in the replies on that thread calling him an accelerationist... These people have no idea what words mean.
These people have no idea what words mean.
well... they're liberals so .. lol
The word is meaningless. There is no such thing as accelerationism. The development of material conditions goes brrr, regardless of anybody's opinion about it.
And besides, if the Liberals want to play the accelerationism card they don't have a leg to stand on. They are the ones who have delivered us fourty years of austerity and domestic militarization while cheerleading every single coup, invasion, and crime against humanity which occurred along the way. The people who hold globally hegemonic power want to ridicule US about making conditions worse? Go drink some fucking paint.
If the left held the power it needed to make everybody miserable (this is what "accelerationism" implies) just so they could have their bloody revolution, there wouldn't be a need for any bloody revolution in the first place, because they would simply use that power to make things better instead.
we could literally vote in socialists and just have cops [REDACTED] while systematically draining the wealth of billionaires if we don't just :pit: them. liberals just do not understand how power works.
Accelerationism is when centrist assumptions that they can get votes from the left in exchange for nothing turn out to be wrong
Oh shit lmao :picard-pointing:
I got banned from there a long time ago for commenting on a r/cringe post calling them all losers and other shit and basically haven't ever looked at the sub again. And no it wasn't crossed posted there, they just ban anyone posting on subs they don't like--no matter the reason
Objectively correct electoral analysis from Shaun, you literally cannot honestly argue that the political situation in the vast majority of "liberal" countries is anything but a hostage/mafia protection racket where the libs offer you dogshit except the promise that they are not the other guys, potentially with a few sprinkles on top to pretend to be an actual political party with goals for how to chance society.
Its objectively an undemocratic state of affairs and the only way to do anything about it electorally is to risk the kneebreakers winning the election while you either built a viable left party or play chicken with the liberals until one of you cant stand losing any more and is forced to compromise. Or you could do things not so electorally too, but thats not particularly nice of you.
gross there is a fly in my soup
the soup could be acid WHY DO YOU SUPPORT ALL SOUPS BEING ACID!!
Squirting drama within leftist drama. What a time to be alive
Great quote from the thread
It's crazy to me how much people like this want to ignore so much of Macrons Islamophobia, racism and anti working class policies. Like Le Pen fuckin sucks ass too, I hardly see a big enough distinction between the two to actually care who won. Le Pen is maybe a little more open with her views and not sugar coating it but they both want the same things for like 90% of the issues
I mean le pen wants to leave nato and the eu which is very significant, even if we don't necessarily think those are bad things. Also I wouldn't be surprised if le pen just started expelling all non whites from the country.
The old strategy - steal the populists' positions out from under them.
Then, after the election, pretend you never said anything of the kind.
Shaun's take should not be controversial among leftists. If you need anymore proof V**** is not a leftist, there you go. I can't get over how these peoples "harm reduction" is continuing violent imperialism and white supremacy.
