In America the fascist state apparatus arrests you for being upset about a foreign country committing genocide

Can't wait for every racist liberal to let me know I support baby beheadings because I want people freed from a concentration camp!

This is such an apt analysis but also very joker pilling

The last few days have filled me with a lot of dread and frustration, I hope you're all doing okay

Nothing can compare to what the brave people of Palestine are going through, my heart goes out to them

I think what guided me towards an actual ideology over time was the ick from reading those types of posts, especially the China ones. I think if you care to understand why things are a certain way, the "common sense" statements immediately fall apart.

It's really this simple, unless you develop a materialist worldview your brain is just going to take the easy route of letting the "my family escaped communism" bits reinforce your established biases.

Gamers are the most oppressed race how dare you

"very handsome workers" makes me die everytime

STRONG and HANDSOME!

Corpo jobs are a lot more self-aware from what I've encountered, small business tyrants think they're actually good people

Told a coworker that Chinese high speed rail was groovy and they hit me with an Uyghur genocide bit for no reason

They still have layers to unpack. I remember years ago I thought I was as left as could be online because I was browsing "progressive" subreddits and had liberal views, then I noticed that people kept parroting the same idealistic, vibes based sentiments about everything.

Material conditions are only worsening and the class conflicts are only gonna grow stronger but it's definitely going to take a while because of how successful US propaganda is

Americans are so beyond fucked that they'll almost NEVER recognize that capital is the problem. The reactionary, fascist response to capitalism in crisis is much easier for propagandized baby brains - especially for white men. The "right" to what they've always "deserved" in the lap of luxury supersedes solidarity with people dealing with the same material conditions. The horrifying notion that it all might be a lie is literally just too much to comprehend for hogs

Waltuh was a tankie

A true shocker to find another subreddit full of know-it-all bloodthirsty kkkrackers

The oppressive regime isn’t interested in what it’s people want
