Showing this to my liberal friends and asking, “Hey, do you believe me now?”

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 43 points 2 months ago

I'm just sending it around and seeing if any of them actually acknowledge it...

Just last week one of my friends was lamenting some norm being broken, saying, “If we ever become a Nazi country…” Like brother we shouldn’t have had to get to Red Reich and Blue for you to realize that.

I'm sure it wouldn't help telling them we hired the nazi scientists and have been taking in other right wing refugees for the proceeding decades...

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 42 points 2 months ago

We didn't just hire Nazi scientists, we hired Nazi generals! To say nothing of hiring Nazi everything when we controlled West Germany.

Operation Paperclip is a really fun and not at all frustrating discussion about how the ends justify the means. The ends here being beating the Soviets, who were also fascists somehow, to the moon.

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

Pretty much that's how it always goes, which is why I've lost the urge to engage lately...

"I already vote! What more do you want?!?"

[-] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago

This is the big problem. A lot of the liberals I know acknowledge that things aren't normal and someone needs to do something, but they don't know what to do because the only thing they know is that the answer is NOT communism, because they're the same as Nazis.

Convincing people the US sucks isn't too hard for me nowadays. Convincing them the answer is socialism is more difficult.

They need to be convinced Capitalism sucks. It's really hard and I wish I knew an answer. At least I have hope people are moving left and past the "vote blue no matter who nonsense"... maybe

If you even start to try to explain how this year is the inevitable outcome and endgoal of capitalism and isn't an anomaly, they either go fully defensive or shut down completely.

[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

A lot if libs are comfortable with where they are financially and aren't going to be reachable. The people who never vote are the people who I believe are more likely to organize.

We should spend less time tabling outside farmer's markets and more time tabling at unemployment offices, social services offices, and courthouses.

[-] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

That's a good point. The argument for Socialism needs to start with capitalism sucks and caused all the problems yiu have, and that is probably a lot easier for the people capitalism is failing to understand.

I'm glad regular folk are starting to see it

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago

They'll see it as an aberration

They'll point to this fuckface getting a slap on the wrist and be like "Look, the system works!" flowey-smug

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

Same way they just went back to brunch when Biden won. “The vibes are healing the system!”

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

Same way they promised they'd go back to brunch if Kamala won, even though a genocide was going on

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 40 points 2 months ago

the heiling is coming from inside the house

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

Imagine having a dream cushy do nothing job and NOT ruin it with this hyperimbecile childish shit but actually get a raise most likely

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

carlin-pog There's a reason.

I predict a republican winning in 2028
