Agitprop idea:
- use the budget figures of implementing $2000 checks and say that's how much Biden has wasted on imperialism already.
- when libs inevitably umakshually you, pull the uno reverse: ask how much the military actions have actually cost.
- if you get a figure, respond with "ohhh okay so that's [X amount] of the [total $2000 checks cost] for checks, wasted on foreign interventions working people don't need or care about, sorry for exaggerating the amount of money your daddy has wasted so far."
starting to think that believing in a “lesser evil” just means American Privilege
/r/politics mods kept deleting the posts about it, the one left up has like 200 upvotes while under trump they had megathreads
I guess it's stupid to care about /r/politics at all but like dangIt's not stupid to care about the main politics board on a large social media site -- that's how a lot of people get their news. Posting may not be praxis, but it's propaganda, and we shouldn't dismiss it.
It's weird though, I'm posting over there for god knows what reason, and my "attacking US imperial troops is actually cool and good" posts are getting more up than down votes (not by much, but still), but my "Obama was a murderer too" posts are all predictably getting downvotes. Critical support for r/politics in their peoples' war against the US military?
Good thing the /r/politics mods are nuking all mentions of the bombing because it is non-political.
holy shit you aren't joking. The only thread mentioning syria is 3 hours old and has 250 upvotes. Everyone in the comments section is just bitching about the mods and US imperialism
Radlibs on Twitter are celebrating the bombing because Biden isn't peacocking or beating his chest about it. <rubs hands>
Ah, a return to normalcy.
"While the strike could be the first retaliatory moves by the United States following last week’s attacks, the move appeared to be limited in scope, potentially lowering the risk of escalation."
De-escalation. By killing people.
This shit is getting so pathetic that they don't even say who they're killing or pretend to know who they're retaliating against.
Deescalating attacks on American soldiers in Iraq by attacking Iranian soldiers in Syria, some real 4D chess going on I'm sure
Nah, killing Iranians is too risky. These are 'Iranian-backed Militia'. Probably Afghan, Syrian, or Iraqi. Maybe Lebanese, but unlikely.
Ah right, how could I think that any connection at all would be necessary to justify an attack a few hundred miles (I assume, tbh) away from whatever happened before this.
De-escalation. By killing people.
"See, if we escalate it as far as it could possibly go, we make it impossible for the situation to escalate any further"
They're judging escalation by the standard of the maximum they can do. Since they killed a few foreigners, when they could have nuked Iran and killed 80 million people, they've deescalated.
The strikes appeared to be limited in scope, potentially lowering the risk of escalation
Punches someone in the face "Hey man, don't get angry at me, I didn't hit you as hard as I could've, I deserve some credit here!"
Huh. He waited a whole month before sending the bombs. Better than I thought. Truly the lesser of 2 evils
"like my dad, he bombs middle eastern people :amerikkka-clap: "
Biden literally lied to your face about $2000, made kids in cages woke, bombed Libya, and more than half you cucks will vote for him again in 2024! 😘
CONGRATULATIONS TO JOE BIDEN ON THIS SIGNIFICANT RITE OF PASSAGE!
(From 2017 "Fareed Zakaria: Trump just became president" — after he just bombed Syria)
I was blown away by how quickly libs fell for that shit. All Trump had to do was launch a few missiles and the media took him seriously all of a sudden.
thankfully he either didn't care or didn't notice
This is precisely why the left shouldn't vote for these pieces of shit.
Where is the person who was defending the vote for Biden the other day because “Trump is worse”?
No idea, but I remember ContraPoint's 30 minutes video shitting on leftists that wouldn't vote for Biden. I understand that she, as a trans woman, feels much better under Biden but holy shit you don't have to take a huge dump on everyone else.
She didn't even list good reasons. There are good reasons, but the video was pure left-punching.
I don't support Biden. Voting for a candidate and supporting them are two different things.
It's sad you know? Because she produces some great content, a couple of her videos are very very good but she's dead to me, she goes on Vaush stream (Yes, I did watch that) to talk about how the left needs to start building coalitions, then immediately proceeds to shit on those that don't want to vote for Biden. For fucking JOE BIDEN, a rapist, a war criminal, a neoliberal and a racist piece of shit, not a SocDem with whom Communists/Anarchists would strongly disagree with, FUCKING JOE BIDEN.
and to think I was actually conflicted about voting for this freak or not. I legit think I would have lost sleep by now if I ended up filling in Joes name.
Same, I voted for Howie but felt conflicted about it on election day. Pretty much every single thing that has happened since election day though has just reaffirmed that I made the right decision.
I decided not to vote, and I feel the same way lol.
