I want so bad to live in the world that chuds think we live in.
Same. Chairman Biden is coming to start the protracted peoples war against the capitalists? Don't threaten me with a good time.
I remember way back when in an episode (can't remember which or when it was specifically) Matt had a somewhat controversial take.
Like after Charlottesville there was a hysteria of the left that these Trump supporters truly were a paramilitary army in waiting, that any day now Trump would call them to arms and these brownshirts would march in the streets and institute a fascist terror. In hindsight we now know that Charlottesville was the real high-water mark for the neo-Nazis and "alt-right" LARPers and they have since faded into total irrelevance.
Matt's take was informed by this hindsight and he basically made fun of this hysteria, saying these Trump freaks are some of the laziest and most spoiled babies in the heart of empire and there's absolutely zero chance these fat entitled dipshits would ever actually put their money where there mouths were. And now it's proven beyond shadow of a doubt that that's correct. Their highest conception of praxis is literally just posting about all the courageous shit they'll totally do on the internet (which hits its apotheosis with the QAnon freaks), and maybe they'll go out and hold some signs or block a street with their obnoxious trucks decked out with massive flags. That's it.
High water mark for Qanon: <500 totally disorganized
High water mark for the left: >100k all over the world uniting behind a movement for black lives
They are non existent, they are literally a paper tiger that the media likes to blow out of proportion with hopes that more people will join.
QAnon is much larger than you give it credit for but luckily they are a terminal case of engaging with politics as spectator sport.
Theres three types of QAnon freak: Grifter, Spectator, and True Believer. The last of them is the rarest and most dangerous. Not saying the Spectators don't genuinely believe their bullshit, but the True Believer is one who will act on their supposed insider information, like the guy who actually went and shot up Comet Ping Pong to save the children while the Mike Cernoviches and Jack Posobiecs were just posting about it.
The True Believers are few and far between. The only threat they pose is as an extension of the police like the Proud Boys were during the protests
If it weren't for a handful of necromorphs dumping billions of dollars into each of their movements, combined with the CIA constantly stamping out ours, they would barely exist.
Without the backing of the entire military, the chuds would get absolutely wiped. Which they would have, because the US military isn't going to be supporting a communist revolution any time soon. They just can't admit that because then they don't look as tough.
I ask myself this often, but if they are at all reflective of boomer comics/fox news/OAN/etc... then I think they are mostly unironic, because at this point in America there are 3 kinds of communists:
- Actual MLs
- Anyone without an "R" next to their name who doesn't kowtow to Trump (according to conservatives)
- Russia, specifically Putin, and any twitter user or high level Republican associated with "Russian collusion" (according to libs)
Republicans: If you don't have a red R for Republican you're a commie traitor!
Democrats: But also if you do have a red R for Russia you're a commie foreign agent!
Elizabeth Warren: I believe in welfare, just corporate welfare. Do I get to be a commie guys?
Biden: Listen fat, no one gets to be a commie on this ship. I met Gorbachev okay? I was there when they did that, that thing. And hey, then I went to Moldova because I wanted to know what that was all about. So keep it in your hat, Jack. You're all strawberries and no preserves. I'll take my shirt off and do push-ups right now, and then we'll see who's talking.
communism is when u disagree with me or are russian depending upon my favorite color of the moment
Communism is when a few people hoard the products of your labor and only give you a small portion of that value.
These morons will die for capitalism because they can't fucking read and have them mixed up.
Super Capitalism is when you kill your boss and landlord and keep all of your hard-earned money
Anyone without an “R” next to their name who doesn’t kowtow to Trump (according to conservatives)
Actually they've been calling Republican like Mitch McConnell commies for accepting the election results
They have no idea what communism means or looks like
Everything left is communism
I've confronted chuds on this one, demanding an answer for what communism is. More than once they've described democracy itself, i.e., when a majority will is expressed through a practice of social equity to make demands of society. My racist moron cousin literally described communism as "when idiots get together and think they know what they want, but trust someone else to get it for them" Yeah, ok, so all elected officials are communists.
Heh yep
It's even more skewed with anarchy, where people imagine violent chaos
Some do, while the rest are kinda like us when we sniff a target that's open to learning and being educated -- playing the game. Radicalising people.
He would rather kill his neighbors than have someone challenge the power of the rich? Very cool, dude.
You can't build a sustainable community on lies. It will collapse eventually.
I mean... what would be a lie about it? The goal of communism is liberation and equality for all, freedom socially and economically, so there would be no deception of values, just removing the words they find scary
"You know what? Yeah, ok, Biden is a communist, you are totally right, now let me introduce you to this ideology is called, ehrm, 'mutualism', is the opposite of what Biden wants. Basically we all take care of each other and the environment so we all live as best as we can; it's the opposite of what Biden wants. Take this, read this author called, erm Charles Scorx. What? Will there be racism?, ehm, sure sure, it will be super racist, there will only be ONE CLASS of people; now go shoot up some of the many communist police stations"
I had someone unironically tell me police are an example of socialism because they're in a union
Yeah, there's a reason 17N, the Red Brigades, Red Army Faction, IRA, ETA, FLB, and so many more were all somewhat successful in a way that these morons aren't
Sure they will. What are they gonna do, shoot up the local McDonald's again?
rather they shoot themselves than at innocent people, myself. gotta follow their leader after all.
Why is thedonald.lose obsessed with beanie man Tim Pool? Why, just why?
Love to mock people for hiding their natural hair on the donald trump website
The animosity some older people have for beanie hats is hilarious, I'm gonna wear that shit until I die.
Is this ... oh shit. Is poolposting their version of vaushposting?
How fucking delusional are these dumbfucks that they think Joe Biden is a communist??
I work with someone like this. Communism is when you glorify private capital regardless of the social consequences, which is very bad. It's also communism when you challenge private capital, which is a terrible thing to do. Democrats do both of those things, and Republicans do neither of these things.
This is what no Marx does to a mf. There is no way to have a constructive conversation.
There's actually 2 things Americans are good at: eating AND propaganda!
I feel like the vets from the older versions of the military would have done something by now. The modern ones seem completely incapable of acting without having an overwhelming advantage or thinking for themselves. I think we only got Micah and Dorner because whatever was going on with their mental illnesses offset parts of the military indoctrination that make the other vets so docile.
