lol being called a fascist by some career politician ghoul that voted for the iraq invasion, cispa, the current genocide, and god knows what other bullshit. Like the amount of political murder this mf has a hand in..
His main function in Congress is funding the military and weapons sales.
Sounds like a good, unbiased person to comment on the US sending weapons to a country engaged in ethnic cleansing
I love democracy dot meme
Asked what kind of protest might be appropriate, Smith cited a recent instance in an armed services hearing in which “people came in and they didn’t say anything, they just held up bloody hands. And the chairman noticed that and said, ‘You can’t do that, you’re out, and they got up and left.”
This is why satire is dead
So even the words they invented have no meaning anymore
They already deep-sixed MeToo in part for Biden, they don't have actual principles
Believe women
for about two years
Harm reduction party btw
Yes, the totalitarians are...20 year old college students who hold no actual power besides collectively being loud and demonstrating in the hopes that it's disruptive enough to invoke change. Not the jackbooted thugs beating them with billy clubs and throwing them in a van.
Protesters do be silencing every congressperson so hard actually the cops are protecting the US state fundamental right to send weapons to the genocidal regime won't you think of them
The fascist is calling me a fascist!
"nuh uh! youre the totalitarian! the one with no real power are the most oppressive!"
this shithead and don't feed him.
Their mean words and angry chants are like drone strikes on apartment buildings. Imagine if that happened in your neighborhood. They should find something important to protest about
What the fuck is a "leftwing fascist" lol? If you go with what fascism is, then extrapolate the left wing of that, you end up at Democrat. Like, what?
its just redfash following the natural lifespan of an anticommunist label from being used by McCarthyite Red Scare era Republicans () and then by reddit radlibs with a bone to pick against leftists () and then by Respected Bipartisan^(TM)^ Democrats ()
Some liberal dorks think that Socialism/Communism is leftwing fascism.
online communist calls for arrest of Adam Smith's cardiac muscles
we gotta build the heart attack gun

You could convince me this is the same guy just 200 years older now and with more adrenochrome or w/e
These people are not nearly afraid enough of it's really quite a shame
But remember to vote
TIL that political opinions are like a globe and when you go left enough you become a fascist.
Did you just invent the ‘political sphere’?
if you don’t believe in horseshoe theory you are basically a flat earther!
Protesters, Smith said, “would say, ‘Children are dying. This is a huge humanitarian crisis.’ And they’re right about that … and by the way, I do have some sympathy with these people. If there are members of Congress who won’t meet with them, I meet with them. All the time. So they have an opportunity to be heard. They’re not trying to be heard. They’re trying to silence people who disagree with them.”
It is kind of infuriating how they are always framing protest as wanting to be "heard", with the unspoken addition "and then ignored".
No, people are protesting because they want the genocide to stop, not because they want some Eichmann in a suit to smile and nod politely at them for five minutes.
Children are dying.
I do have some sympathy with these people.
Banger
They're trying to silence those who disagree! About children being murdered!
Won't somebody think of the oppressor!
