MODERATORS
Fascism has been here since the beginning, since before we called it fascism, it was just applied unevenly along class and racial lines. Our fascist party and our "democratic" party will always stop their kayfabe bickering and fall into lockstep when it comes to supporting imperialism and genocide abroad, and crushing the working class here at home. The pool of donors that "both" parties share are all following the same profit motives.
My sibling in christ, your "non-fascists" are doing a genocide right now.
Ok and your option is prevent another from starting here and trying to fix the system to get rid of these assholes or let the people who want to start another genocide right here who still support Israel's active one
Show me a candidate that has any chance of winning outside of the two party system then
Lol China and Russia are not the communist safe havens you think they are. They're just as bad as the US. Absolutely delusional
My favorite part about arguing with 'true communists' who venerate Russia and China is that they don't even read the propaganda they spread before sending it.
"Venerate Russia"
Ha, you don't know what communists think at all, you're just reading entries out of the Big Book of Boomerisms.
"Commyunist Rushia!"
This is the next stage of liberal cope. Nobody but you guys thinks Russia is communist, and China is just undeniably, measurably better than the US in pretty much every way.
Ah yeah because what we need right now is millions of deaths in a civil war that will ultimately achieve nothing and will probably result in even worse fascists taking power.
Millions are already dying, with billions more slated to follow them. Imperial war, mass poverty, covid eugenics, nuclear brinksmanship, economically engineered famines like we did to Afghanistan, climate collapse and (I cannot stress this enough) the current ongoing genocide have already far outstripped your "millions will die" hysterical excuse for inaction. We live in a country where snake-handling evangelical psychos and childwife-collecting Mormon cultists control most of the nuclear arsenal at the highest reaches of military command. Out government literally doesn't know how to exist without cannibalizing other countries through war, and foments it at every turn. People are starving to death in tents on the streets and being dissapeared into police blacksites. You can either recognize that fascism is already here and try to stop it, or wring your hands and make excuses for why we have support the right fascists, like a German liberal in the 1930s would.
Your mindset is servile and blinkered and I will not be supporting your genocide.
Alright then, move to China or Russia like the rest of your communist cosplay friends and let the rest of us try and fix the country without causing another genocide or civil war.
Lol, look how quickly the liberal turns into a stereotypical right wing chode when people don't accept their weak-ass excuses for supporting genocide. "Don't like it? Leave!"
It's an admission of defeat dressed up like a quip. It's you saying "Uh...well I don't have any response to the things you're saying, so go away!"
No, I think I'll stay here and continue to remind you that your hands will never be washed clean. You will never exist as a non-fascist again, and your desperate attempts to pull other people down to your level for solace have failed. Nobody wants to be like you.
They're already doing another one here too. Our concentration camps are packed full of kids and asylum seekers, imprisoned in squalid conditions where disease and sexual abuse from border patrol freaks is rampant. Do you know how Anne Frank died? It wasn't in a gas chamber. It was from Typhus, from the horrible unsanitary camp. Many asylum seekers and their childern have already died of diesease in these hellholes. We are currently creating countless Anne Franks, but you libs stopped giving a shit as soon as blue fascist got elected. Even when they started tear gassing them and forcibly cutting out their wombs, blue maga zombies still found excuses. You will always find excuses not to act, and your final excuse will be "I was simply following orders."
Both of those happened under trump, letting him win will make it worse that is guaranteed.
You mean it continued under Trump.
Who built the camps?
