Not embarrassing at all. No Sir.

Just really fucking cool.

    lol, if we're talking about either /r/wsb or reddit as a whole, I've seen more takes about "secret government interference" and demands to "free the free market", than realizations that the system of capitalism itself is inherently rotten and irreformable.

      Genuninely think you're wrong on this, although I have heard kinda lib takes linking the alt right or whatever to the whole thing ( jack allison on latest ep of struggle session)

      I've been seeing massively upvoted posts/memes about class war, class conciousness.....about tearing the system down, not reforming it to make capitalism better. Plz don't ask me to find them.

        Fash want to tear the system down too.

        And libs love to appropriate radical terms when they really just mean modest reforms

          The Masters Of The Universe types were venerated on WSB up until very recently. If you can't see massive opportunities here I don't know what to tell you.

          I'm not seeing lib posters looking for modest reforms either, or looking for the system to go back to the former normal. The curtain has been pulled back for them.

            I mostly see radlibs and protofash, but I'd like to be wrong, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              Where is there good analysis on possible protofash influences on wsb? Bobert Bevans? He's probably got the connections lol

          you gotta see the positive side of libs appropriating your words - it means you're winning. it means that your ideas are popular enough that the only way for them to make sense of everything is to pay lip service. get ready for more lefties coming down the pipeline
