Ew, US politics in my memes community

The Lemmy.ml meme community allows politics, and has a non-political meme community if you want it.

You know that it's a class war, and not a political one...right?

Right?

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 16 points 4 days ago

Class war is political.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 23 points 5 days ago

What does that even mean? You know that war is the continuation of politics by other means, right? The class war is entirely political.

[+] radiofreebc@lemmy.world -20 points 5 days ago

No, it's not. There are selfish wealthy people on both sides of the political spectrum.

And there’s your problem.

They’ve convinced you that Democrat(R) and Republican(R) are on opposite sides of the political spectrum when they’re actually on the same side. They’re both right-wing parties. There is no left side to speak of in the US.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 days ago

Do you mean the "political spectrum" as in democrats and republicans? There's a ton outside that narrow spectrum.

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

Their political allegiance is capitalism. They’re all power hungry fascists, regardless of what political affiliation they claim on paper.

Platner has presented zero class analysis. 90% of his anti-war position is "we should spend that money at home". And best he's a sheep dog social Democrat like Bernie and AOC. At worst he'll just slide right over his career because he won't actually address his past.

Bottom line every policy platner is calling for, is the exact opposite of nazi rhetoric. Meanwhile musk is retweeting great replacement theory posts and bolstering white suppremicist groups.

In a vacume I'd have given musks Nazi salute a pass. Symbols can be mistaken and mis-given. Were it not at a time when he... literally was not just not banning, or unbanning white supremacists on twitter, but explicitly re-tweeting and bolstering them as well, it wouldn't have meant much.
