turn away from identity politics

bruh they literally made effigies of you and your family with nooses around the necks hanging from trees. Why the fuck would you work with people like that or the people who pander to them?

You, too, can be shorn of 99% of baggage identity politics seeks to address with this one neat trick!

The perfect center of the horseshoe, where the American left and the American right meet and agree to allow fully autonomous kill-confirm turrets to mow down climate refugees on the border.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 32 points 2 weeks ago

People said I didn't accomplish anything on climate change during my two terms as president. Not true. That is a blatant falsehood. At the very end of my second term I signed the Paris Agreement. It had no enforcement mechanisms but it appeared to do something and it allowed me to burnish my climate change credentials. I'm all about creating a false impression to improve my all-important scam legacy.

Now that we're facing climate chaos I'm partnering with The Fully Autonomous Kill-Confirm Turrets Company. The Fact Company will secure our borders and more importantly - it'll put at least a dozen million dollars into my pocket. Win-win - I say.

I was extraordinarily proud of the Paris Accords because, look I know we’re in oil country and we need American energy. And by the way, American energy production, you wouldn’t always know it, but it went up every year I was president. And you know that whole suddenly America’s like the biggest oil producer … that was me, people.

I truly hate him so much. Hot take, Obama did more to doom us than Trump did. Trump is a symptom, Obama was the cause.

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 29 points 2 weeks ago

Eh, the rot had set in long before Obama, Clinton's inability to reverse Reagan's policy program ensured a Trump would eventually appear.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

I think it’s the way he fucking brags about it. Clinton doesn’t go out all the time talking about how proud he is of how he doomed us all. Or if he does I don’t see it as often. Obama hasn’t been president in 8 years and I still constantly see him, always so full of himself and bragging about putting those final nails in our collective coffin.

Trump is ACTUAL FASCISM and he will end our democracy and kill all trans and deport all migrants and it’s important to reach across the aisle in a moment like this. Build bridges, and camps too I guess.

"Uh, let me be clear, Social Democracy is the Moderate Wing of Fascism and we aren't even Social Democrats"

Just your typical wholesome transphobic US politician.

Well now at least when liberals accuse you of hating minorities for not voting Dem, you can hit them with this quote and tell them that you're not going to vote for transphobes.

[-] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Hey now, you don't have to vote for trans phobes. You just have to find a middle ground between human dignity and a state sanctioned pogrom.

Why aren't you as willing to be as compromised as our dear leader?

lol so Obama's advice is that Kamala should have campaigned more with Liz Cheney

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder how many important people in Kamala's inner and near orbit were ex-Obama turds. My wild hunch is a ton of them were. West Wing-brain is a terrible disease.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

They worked for a guy who got elected because he was charismatic and campaigned on change. They decided to run the same playbook with a person who wasn't charismatic and promised no change.

They proceeded to lose and concluded the playbook was the salvageable part.

Deeply unserious people.

I want to kill all honkeys.

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

This is a compromise i can get behind in the name of pragmatism

[-] M68040@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

I will not move away from identity politics. My mind was made 20 years ago; it cannot be unmade.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

Sean Connery in The Untouchables on fighting crime: "They put one of ours in the hospital - we put one of theirs in the morgue."

Obama Sean Connery on fighting fascism: "They put one of ours in the hospital - we politely and firmly ask them to stop. And then we vote for a bipartisan bill criminalizing homelessness."

It's a NYT article and the comments are off which is a real shame.

NYT is very selective about which articles it allows comments on. Maybe only a quarter of them have comments enabled, and it is specifically the articles where the editors think they'll have the subscribers eating out of their palms. They try very hard to limit the amount of pushback against their editorial line. They are not going to create a forum for their readers to reach the consensus that Obama is wrong, he should eat shit, and die.

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck Obama this is all his fault

[-] Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago
[-] frauddogg@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

I do not say this lightly when I accuse Barack Obama of this:

This some coon shit.

What I expect from the Drone King, though?
