And as far as the whole "duuuhhh a cop "saved" AOC so some cops are good mkay" take goes....
....Congratulations :amerikkka-clap: to our resident crypto-chuds for spending a whole month wracking your brains just to come up with the most media-conformist horseshit take of the year so far
Because yes, lets HELP the media rewrite history by pretending that it wasn't the DC pigs who let the "cOup fOrCeS" into the building, and that the class character of those people wasn't exclusively made up of COPS, off-duty cops, former cops, the fail children of cops, the fail mothers of cops, the fail uncles of cops who also happen to be cops, Military cops, cops temporarily suspended for killing black people and car dealership owners who are all informants for said cops
FUCK THAT PIG AND FUCK THE MEDIA :acab:
Despite the fact that AOC and the other quasi-succdem opportunists probably would have killed Rosa, it's hard not to sympathize with them and their trauma here, since they'd be on the same chopping block as actual Marxists and anarchists, with the neolibs and centrists throwing us all under the bus in a vain attempt to save themselves from the fash.
The neolibs in congress using this event as an excuse to build the case for a second Patriot Act or Homeland Security Act, on the other hand? They can go eat shit.
Taking the above into consideration, Jimmy Dore's and Glenn Greenwald's kneejerk impulses to downplay even AOC's anecdotal experience - practically indistinguishable to something that might have happened to Kshama or any other independent left officeholder if they had been in AOC's position that day - in opposition to the liberal deep state are thus understandable but dangerously misguided, if it means flirting with delusions of a red-brown united front against the liberals.
At the risk of getting banned again, AOC being determined to center her trauma only adds to the spectacle and encourages massive overreaction.
My only concern here would be the Dems and never-Trumpers shedding crocodile tears for AOC to launder their own cynical natsec-bloating goals. AOC correctly called out the cowardly Ted Cruz for being part of the fucking problem when he tried to extend an olive branch (likely in bad faith).
No, lol. It's just right wing in-fighting. If a Qanon mob marched every dem to the soccer stadium tomorrow it would literally make no difference to any socialists. The only thing they provide is the pretense of opposition and who needs that?
yes it would make a difference because they'd probably be marching us alongside them, if not before them
If you wouldn't at least risk it to get rid of them then they've already won
what are you even saying
That pearl clutching over the threat of right wing violence only helps the libs.
we absolutely should be worried about right wing violence, but we must be careful not to simply reinforce liberal narratives and agenda when doing so
just as we should also be critical of libs, but careful not to do so by simply reinforcing right wing arguments and furthering their agenda, which is something I'm seeing a lot of when it comes to criticizing AOC from supposed leftists
The current state of bourgeois dictatorship is the largest perpetrator of right wing violence already, the fact that there was a drop of blowback from bankrupt chuds is like music to my ears, I hope all those legislators have to hide in closets, especially the ones trying to grift me by claiming they're "on my side" as they run interference for Pelosi.
