I know right-wing dipshits living in opposite world is nothing new but they’re so fucking dense and wrong I wish I could throttle them through the computer screen

This was a comment on a video about a superbowl ad for Ring cameras which are owned by Amazon who are fully in cahoots with Trump’s government along with the rest of the libertarian techbro pedophile class

This dude sees his guys finally having the power to do all they’ve ever wanted and I guess he does not actually like the implications that has for him so this is his way of squaring that cognitive dissonance

“umm actually Trump is fighting against the all-seeing AI surveillance panopticon”

    “authoritarian” only means “any use of state power I don’t like” and should not be taken seriously as a concept

    American conservatism is built upon the cognitive dissonance that it must simultaneously be the iron-fisted maintainers of the status quo and the traditional, but also 1776 rebels revolting against the crown. So they have to create these fever dreams where they’re both standing up to and are the masters of the all-seeing eye.

    That’s so tiny I can barely read it :faded: Here’s the text

    Its the soft entrance of authoritarian control. Ask the UK they are in the pre-lockdown of all their rights and privacy. Canada is slowly rolling out their authoritarianism and if you follow all the western government and social involvement you’ll see that they are putting the screws to their own people and the Western “allies” are trying to force our government[1] to go along with their authoritarian/globalist[2] plan which is why you see so much push back from our “allies” against Trump. They are liberal governments who do not want any sort of right wing/conservative thinking to be allowed[3]. Yes, they do not want Center Right leaning individuals to have their opinions and they will do everything in the censorship realm to stop “wrong think”.

    Conservatives so badly want to be oppressed.


    1. “force our government” i-cant Yes the us is just a smol bean uwu ↩︎

    2. dog whistle ↩︎

    I was looking on the emulation wiki and I guess it’s run by some 4chan freaks because there’s racism across at least one article on the site and I checked the author of it in the discussion page where numerous people are mad about it, obviously. The author’s profile links to a Google doc that has this long screed that’s this insane mashup up basically fascist “centrist” drivel. Like “it’s not left vs. tight, it’s up vs. down, but also i hate all leftists” type stuff. He’s ex-muslim and hates china and russia especially. Just totally in his own world of 4chan snd 9gag (he linked his 9gag accounted, among others) fascism.

      As someone who isnt really a practicing muslim anymore it seems that a lot of internet “ex-muslim” at least on youtube/reddit only call themselves ex muslim they find Islam to be “lame” and “uncool”, they dont fundementally disagree with reactionary elements in Islam beyond surface level stuff like “its so sad HOT WOMEN cover themselves up”. Its why I don’t really call myself ex-muslim (if any of you are leftist ex-muslim thats validl)

      It didnt help that RW ex muslim love to pretend to be stupid and say shit like “how can you be racist against muslims when islam isnt a religion?” (ignore people with arabic names getting interrogated JUST for having said names) I say they are on the same side of coin as those reactionary muslims who supports western chuds just because they both hate LGBT people and then get shocked-pikachu when the western chuds hates muslims too

        There’s also the grifter kind of ex-Muslim who advocates for the extermination of muslims too. There’s a whole cottage industry on YouTube. Chuds love to parade them around as great examples of One of the good ones™ as if they won’t just kill them when the time comes.

    They say “it’s the suppressing the right wing” so they can then use that as an “Us or Them” excuse for why they need to oppress others and force everyone to adhere to right wing beliefs. They need eternal victimhood to justify their shitty behaviour.
