Someone should ship him in a box to Kim Jong-Un to help with NK's fertilizer crisis.
The way they are trying to implicate Republicans as communist sympathizers just makes me even more sure that this whole patsoc thing is an op.
You know, I'm usually not on board with labelling every random thing as an op, and mostly fall down on the "people are weird and do weird shit for weird reasons" side.
This patsoc shit really has me wondering though. Take that Hinkle guy for instance, no more than six months ago he was a literal nobody in some dusty corner of youtube, and now he's on fucking Tucker all of a sudden. Gotta admit, seems weird as hell.
I have to constantly remind my parents sthat they don't actually understand what the words 'capitalism', 'socialism', and 'communism' are. The op is a long time running.
westerners are educated to not know what political ideologies mean, in order to entrench one of them as the status quo forever
It's not that republicans are sympathizers with communists in the global south, It's that they're playing with the lives of victims of communism, which is mean. and we all know that republicans are woefully vulnerable to allegations of being big 'ol meanies.
Just terrible politics and messaging.
Excellent reply by Ben Norton countering this narrative btw:
When it comes to imperialism, Democrats and Republicans are indistinguishable bloodthirsty anti-communists and racists
Nicaragua has some of the lowest migration levels in Central America
Most migrants are from Honduras (after a US-backed far-right coup), El Salvador, Guatemala
DHS data on undocumented immigrants detained in 2020:
318,516 Mexicans
61,382 Guatemalans
51,011 Hondurans
23,051 Salvadorans
13,028 Ecuadorians
11,227 Cubans
7917 Brazilians
2739 Nicaraguans
2220 Dominicans
1639 Venezuelans
Blaming "communism" is insane
1639 Venezuelans
Wow the way they framed it you’d think there’s like a million Venezuelans trekking to the US lol
Economic situation was very bad, there was an uptick I believe
No mention of the death squads the USA set up in latin america and the drug trade that fuels it maybe being a reason why people want to flee? Nah, it's communism.
Guatemala is communist. Mexico is communist. El Salvador is communist. Honduras is communist :theory-gary:
When America fucks your shit up, that makes you communist and the more America fucks you up the more communister it is :so-true:
Is this red baiting 5.0 now? I've lost track. This is partly a swipe at China, partly a swipe at labor, etc. We've become to comfortable with the word communism. The media is gonna start kicking up the fear factory.
NYT already did it

(I have never, for example, met a “tankie” in real life, but they yell at me on Twitter fairly often.)
it never crosses the author's mind that being a communist party member is illegal and that being open about your communism will result in official and social consequences
Or that very few people this lib would consider a tankie self-identify as a tankie, or that due to their upper class nature they are unlikely to cross path with many communists…
this lib would definitely respond to any accusations of being in a social bubble by talking about how diverse thier upper class friends are
Damn. I thought that this was maybe an exaggeration, but I watched the video. The democrats are irredeemable.
Lmao is this Biden's press secretary?
The Dems are not sending their best, folks
"When you think about Venezuela." What is exactly about Venezuela or Cuba that is communist and making them flee?
