You dunk on Lindsey whateverhernameis for tweeting bad things about leftists fomenting violent insurrection, but hopeful Balkanization and US collapse posts are downbeared. Are you just larping? Either the bourgeois state can be ended without violence or it cannot. I'm not here for enlightened centrism, folks.

      Am I comparing the culture and imagery of two groups or am I comparing the actions and ethics of them? You yourself used the British monarchy as an example of the same imagery and culture of strongman worship so you're now starting some different debate I didn't say a thing about.

            north korea of white people

            of white people

            the "of white people" pretty obviously brings to mind the way in which trump supporters are proponents of an ethnostate and are currently actively commiting genocide on the basis of ethnicity. again, what are you not getting here?

              That's saying that if you look at any Trump rally or train or truck with a bunch of bumper stickers they're white. That's not bringing fascist actions into it or drawing some ethical equivalency between the groups. Sure you can point to the British monarchists or the Canadian Trudeau liberals or the Obama/Clinton/Harris supporters, but the imagery and focuses of that imagery aren't to the same degree .
