Don’t you hate it when you have to pretend to care about war crimes and human rights violations? Just vote for team blue already!

    My favorite tweet about this was someone saying "Vote Biden if you want to read a book at night instead of doomscrolling"

    Oh my god, I forgot about reading books. This sounds like paradise.

    Fucking disgusting people

    THE ANIMUS IS ON YOU.

    IT'S UP TO YOU TO EDUCATE YOURSELF MOTHERFUCKER. IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT AND CONCENTRATION AND DISCIPLINE, IT PUTS A GREAT DEAL OF STRESS ON YOU AND YOUR DAILY ROUTINES. BUT YOU HAVE TO DO IT ANYWAYS. IT'S NOT PARADISE. IT'S HELL. BUT FACING HELL IS WHO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AS A POLITICAL ACTOR.

    This the real difference between being a communist and being a liberal. As a communist you face a hell on Earth head on. You stare it down, you understand what is required of you, you respond accordingly. When you're a liberal, you pretend it's not there, and then hope someone stronger than you will eventually deal with it. Being a communist is about resolving otherwise. That the meaning of real courage. It's what separates communists who truly believe in the potential of individuals through collective action from utopian morons who fetishize individualism.

    It makes me so angry I want to fucking scream.
