The living embodiment of chaos testing.

The argument is right there in the article.

But Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez never indict capitalism as a system or call for a struggle against it. And they supported and hailed the Biden administration even as it was presiding over the greatest-ever accumulation of wealth on the part of the financial aristocracy.

For all their fulminations against the oligarchy, they carefully avoid advancing any demand that would deprive the billionaires of their ill-gotten riches. They pretend that society can be changed without a drastic redistribution of wealth, which requires the expropriation of the billionaires.

Tldr: critiquing the system only insofar as to not question capitalism.

I love how liberals bleat this because it implies genocide is good.

Fascists are not empowered by political apathy. If that were the case, you'd be able to provide evidence that states or nations with low voter turnout always turn fascist. 80% of voters turned out in 1932 when the Nazis became the most powerful party. Political apathy can be a result of burgeoning fascism - among other things. How do you think fascism arose in Germany? People being lazy?

Chalking up fascism to poltical apathy is what happens when you fail to look at fascism as a function of class dynamics and class conflict - and furthermore, fail to see the generations-old pattern of regulatory agencies being captured, special interests dominating political commentary, rampant lobbying, decaying education, wages being suppressed, healthcare being denied, transportation services rendered useless, etc...

If, at the end of this devolution into fascism, your only takeaway is "Damn lazy tankies and russian spies destroyed America!", then you haven't learned your lesson, and you've fallen in perfect lockstep with your liberal forerunners who made the exact same mistakes.

It's telling that you folks never engage when leftists point out that when the democrats had a choice between slowing fascism and committing genocide on Palestinians, they chose to do genocide all for sweet AIPAC dollars.

The simple fact is that Biden's and Kamala's constituents wanted an end to genocide. Biden and Kamala ignored these constituents. Biden and Kamala lost. That couldn't be a more democratic outcome; it's more American than Apple pie. If you say "fuck you" to your constituents, it's a safe bet you'll lose them, and if this is a calculus that some dumb ass like me can make, you know that higher levels of democratic leadership were aware of the risks and chose to take them anyway. The democrats are controlled opposition.

If you are a liberal reading this thread and are starting to see holes pop up in the logic and reasoning of your colleagues, or have correctly identified that the liberals are ill-equipped to deal with this devolution, I'd encourage you to learn what Marxism really is - beyond the spark notes you got from your conservative history teacher in high school.

Why were people lazy?

Why do you simultaneously need analog video AND performance equal to a modern GPU? All of the old games in analog won't demand modern GPU power.

If you had an open pcie slot (hell, even PCI might work) why not just throw in a second antique GPU with analog - which would run in parallel with your existing modern card.

The AG is not an all powerful entity.

Trump sure made it seem so what with Bill Barr.

Actually, if we are all in agreement that the two major parties both pushed genocide, then by me voting third party, I actually used two votes against genocide by not voting either for trump or kamala. Gee, lib math sure is fun.

To me, this just means there's no evil great enough that our politicians could commit that would make you start questioning the validity of our government and electoral process. This is the liberal idealism that leftists talk about.

Is this accurate? Is there any evil great enough that would compel you to start considering tearing it all down?

Remind me how they stopped Hitler.

You can body shame fascists until the cows come home. Still won't do jack shit. The only winning strategy is violence.

Would you call a fascist the R word? How about the N word? If you found a fascist in a wheelchair, would you start talking up low blows? Leftist ought to see no utility in body shaming, we are above that. It doesn't work anyway.

The rich and powerful of the nation are coordinating to usher in fascism at lightning speed, and you're worried about the 500 pinkos who won't vote Biden because of his complicity in genocide? You've taken the same side as MAGA in blaming all the country's problems on leftists. It is misdirection. You've been effortlessly oriented to be so wickedly invested in American electoralism, that you now have zero reservations about voting for candidates who both want genocide.

In 30 years, will you still be militantly democrat when the choice is between a dem who wants 5 genocides and a republican who wants 10?

Fascism Is Possible Not in Spite of Liberal Capitalism, but Because of It

Edit: Also, Musk could continue doing these monthly payments for the next 460 years without making another cent ever again. This notion of "wasting his money" is silly. Each month takes a mere 0.02% hit on his account.
