As we all know hexbear was entirely silent when Ukraine blew up those data centers
And libs are still extremely upset about it (and how people want actual evidence it did anything)
Why is not being American posed as a bad thing?
to OOP it implicitly means they don’t count
because most AmeriKKKans are hardcore into this fascism thing

“If non-Americans are posting in a place where Americans can see it then that counts as foreign interference in our elections!”
That’s supposed to be lemmy.world right, so why are these white supremacists talking like 2017-era reddit Chapos? What happened, did the little cowards detect the national vibe shift and decide open fascism and worshipping DC think tanks wasn’t “punk” anymore? They got bored of being quiet Trumpers so now its time to roleplay as Berniecrats?
…hopefully warm the public up to demilitarizing…
Motherfucker 50% of Americans want to abolish ICE right now! What warm up? Again these trust fund Neets always give the game away with some asinine statement that proves beyond a shadow of doubt they have no fuckin clue what they’re talking about
It’s very funny that this person thinks the reason the US is militarized is because it’s a matter of public opinion and not, you know, an imperial project by capitalists.
it’s a project of offloading parts of military budget (sorry, surplus) onto the police and municipal budgets, terror war on middle east required lots of armored vehicles and you can’t just let go that to waste or reduce military budget.
The chapo pod’s takes on BLM at the time were so embarassing, and revealing of their reactionary liberal leanings. I still listen to them but I’m very skeptical of them if only for the stance they took during the riots
What did they say?
Class reductionist bullshit talking about the rioters as if they’re misled ‘liberal’ children.
They even mentioned that ‘I’m sorry, not all cops are bad’ or something along those lines
My expectations for the takes of white dudes who can afford to live in Brooklyn really aren’t high, but damn that’s shameful.
IIRC there was an episode with the Bruenigs where there was a lot of “you know black people actually want cops!” thrown around.
~~Oh yeah, that’s exactly it. And…the Bruenigs. Jesus Christ. The more I recollect things the more embarassing the pod becomes. No joke, I don’t think I can picture bigger libs than the Bruenigs.
TIL anarchists are part of the “authoritarian left”, and “authoritarianism” involves dismantling the police state . . .
“you want the state to dismantle our policemen? sounds pretty authoritarian to me!”
It’s almost like terms like “Tankie” and “Authoritarian” are so utterly meaningless that they are only ever used by libs to mean “Thing bad! Me no like!”
I’d be willing to bet most of them aren’t American
Ok and?
The internet, like everything else belongs to America and non Americans are guests or tresspassers
Not American? That’s the ultimate compliment!
If you’re not American, you’re RUSSIAN!

That’s an extremely funny thing to say when I know from context posts that most of the most critical Mamdani posters (moi included) are from the U.S. while it is usually our (small contingent of) European, Asian and Middle Eastern posters who were far more optimistic.
Honestly the most critical perspectives come from U.S. Midwestern socialists, mostly because we are extremely used to NY fucking everything up for everyone else. While our NY contingent have been extremely quiet on Mamdani for oh, three or four months now. This isn’t me gloating btw, I was extremely optimistic about him when he got in, but he rapidly dashed those hopes, but I hold out the minimum hope that he will somehow turn this puppy around.
I’d be willing to bet most of them aren’t even illiterate
I can’t even understand what their critique of the radical left is besides “they are more radical” and allowing the reader to assume radicalism is bad.
I like radicalism in my movement, pulling me toward the edge of progress. Do I think we are going to abolish the police after an election cycle? I dunno but I do know surrendering before we start the conversation isn’t leadership or a plan, and a lot of police would probably behave better if they were under serious threat of losing their jobs. Isn’t just getting the cops to behave a little better what liberalism wants anyway?
Personally I feel every pig should be out of a job while we dig deep into their records. Some real accountability. But libs won’t prop up the boogeyman of going too far in order to get a little, even if that meager little is what their liberal conception allows them, and so they get nothing.
I can’t even understand what their critique of the radical left is besides “they are more radical”
They want both their lanyard class privileges and their sense of moral and intellectual superiority and leftists upset that. We create a cognitive dissonance they would never feel without us.
“Radical” is always relative, and their first instinct is always to blunt the movement back towards the status quo.
The grand effect of punching left is that you are signing yourself up next to be seen as radical and the recipient of the leftward punching.
These people didn’t understand the swimming scene in gattaca
I’d be willing to bet most of them aren’t American
Thanks for noticing
I think some of these people on the world wide web may not even be from Omaha, NE
abolishing police is authoritarian, the poisoned worms of ancaps lodging firmly into the brainstem of allegedly normal leftists
So abolishing police, which is probably one of the most “authoritarian” institutions in the US, is too authoritarian?
you can’t do it authorian-like (by being elected and enacting your program of abolishing dhs), you have to establish trilateral bipartisan commision (who are unelected btw) for 4 years on possibility of reducing size of dhs, and ooops look another, parlimentarian says no and its election year, would you look at the time
“Authoritarian” is defined by deviation from the status quo. So stopping the gas chambers is actually more authoritarian than speeding them up by 25%.
Authoritarian is when you author a bill to abolish fascist institutions. The more bills you author the more authoritarian it is.
Totalitarianism is when your bill does stuff in totality. Completely and totally abolishing fascist institutions is Totalitarianism
No, it’s when you do stuff during totality during an eclipse. SMH, tankies forgetting about our blood sacrifice rituals to ancient and mysterious forgotten gods…
“aUtHoRiTaRiAn” is whenever the government does something, because it’s not conceivable that state power could be used in a positive way. anyway here’s my depiction of an AES leader as a racist caricature of a cartoon bear
Reminds me of this frustrating documentary about trying to implement environmental measures in some rural American town and the chuds voting all of them down. The filmmaker concludes that this is a frustrating aspect of democracy and to force through those measures would be stepping into authoritarianism.
i was saying we should do climate stalin
It’s not authoritarian to support LESS militarized police!
At least just call us ultras!
If I’m a bot how do I have crippling self esteem issues? Checkmate athiests!

Carl Marks programmed you wrong because he thought it would be funny. Big L on his part tbh.

Dear Liberals,
Explain that

If you can’t have a backbone against the genocide lobby, then you are of no use. Simple as. I refuse to make any sort of compromise with anyone abetting it, Mandamni has done that. It’s really not that high a standard to hold. I’m not American let a lone a New Yorker, so my opinion means jack shit anyway. But i’ve called the German people either cowards or willong participants in the holocaust and I would be haunted from beyond the grave to be the same as them. Giving them an inch makes you a bad person. Being mayor of New York and placating the pro genocide crowd makes you an even worse person. If you can’t whole heartedly stand against a genocide, you can’t be trusted to stand for anything.
As far as the police state goes, the only thing that can stop a capitalist police state is a communist one. We will have to arrest like…LOT of people in the event of a successful revolution. Police are fine if theyre on my side

If someone comes at you with a knife your goal should be to get that knife and use it against them. Not try to force a fist fight.
I think that’s reasonable and to make it clear I am pro peoples police. I don’t think there should be civil liberties for fascists should we ever take power
I do think we need to be careful to not go overboard with the police but if there’s a place that needs a lot of re-education, it is certainly the US.
What constitutes a crime and the consequences should change but you cant really have laws without law enforcement.
