yea, but you get to brag to all the other inmates in the political prison yard that you stood up for your principles by not voting!

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

They'll be in the same political prisons as their primary enemies, the classic liberal Dems.

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck the fist fights, I'll be playing human shield with their corpses while I sneak out in the cadaver wagon.

Am I allowed physical violence to the purported leftist idiots who land us there? I'll piss on their cracked skulls while reminding them we have the same values but I'm practical and trying to survive to fight for them.

You'd fight us but not Republicans because we destroy the notion that you're the good guys. You both want to preserve the status quo, with libs preferring marginally less grotesque methods of enforcement, and superficially opposing the fucked up methods Republicans prefer to employ. Good cop vs. bad cop routine, and you hate us because we're pointing out that the good cop wants us imprisoned too.

Let's be real, in actual prison, you'd be making aliances with the skinheads and guards 15 minutes in, then call on them to do your dirty work instead of doing any fighting yourself.

Same dynamic you're employing right now actually: "Fall in line or I'll sic the Republicans on you!" while fantasizing about the left getting sent to the camps for daring to oppose your brand of status quo preservation...just like Republicans, but less honest about your intentions.

Dipshits of both lib and fash varieties fail to recognize themselves as allies in defence of capitalism, imperialism, patriarchy, and white supremacy, yet somehow you always instinctively know who is more important to fight, the left.

The SPD voted for the concentration camps the KPD died in. Same dynamic will play out here.

You defended Biden for not closing the migrant camps, understanding that you would never spend a second inside one. We opposed them the entire time, not caring that they'd eventually be used for us.

Smart fascists understand how useful your brand of performative opposition is to legitimizing the system that keeps the treats flowing, so even if they throw did your ass in prison to appease their base (they won't), you'll be let go. You're too useful an idiot for keeping the real opposition (communists) from taking power.

I deleted a long personal rant. Tldr I've spent decades fighting the right. I am the left. I never fought "the left" until you useful idiots showed up in numbers. Only outcomes in reality matter. There is an objectively better reality for the 99%, out of our two options. Yelling and screaming, and opting into this victim role in an internet stranger's hypothetical about a group responsible for the end of society...dude wtf? Why does that have to be you? Just don't do that to us and you'll have nothing to be defensive about Same victimhood porn as the right.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
