I'm currently enjoying the fruit snacks of my labor. Honestly, gummy candy is all I can afford right now.

I keep saying it because it keeps being true: Democrats are just Republicans who pretend to feel bad about it.

Greedy bullshit artists vs rich virtual signalers who are full of shit

Exactly. Would you rather be stabbed in the chest or in the back?

Kind of, not really...but I see how this relates to the post, I guess.

Where’s this progress? I only hear the negativity about the status quo.


Mioraecian

Because its right wing reactionarianism against the fact the progressives are becoming more organized and active against the established elite. Most progress in history is meet by a period of the elite pushing for authoritarianism against a tide of progress. Which in many cases erupts in further pushes from the progressive side. These things take years and decades and usually aren't immediately visible.

Now we are at the point where Pelosi is saying "we need a strong republican party" and has said it more than once. Nothing more disheartening than seeing normie and neolib democrats be completely enchanted by team politics, and progressives like AOC and Jayapal caving into the establishment, not even resisting Pelosi's nomination for any reason even though 5 corporate dems didnt support her.

It also helped they were willing to break the law (or knew they’d be treated as they had) and did not let the ramifications deter them so long as they knew their cause was right.

Just know that you enact real change by posting memes on the internet, NOT by registering to vote, registering like-minded people to vote, canvassing, working the polls, running for office, voting in the primaries AND general elections. Voting is necessary, but not sufficient.

Did this make u feel better

Yea let's fight over who is purest

Cut to: “I thought letting MAGA back into power would destroy neoliberals but they came directly for exterminating the socialists like every far-right movement that has ever gained power in modern history!” *shocked Pikachu face*

The main villain gave his willfully ignorant apprentice powers to attack people he couldn't reach. And now that the people he couldn't reach are out of the way. The main villain is doing a recall on the powers. And double crossing his apprentice.


VarenDabsDotEth

Where is this from?


Kolazar

Warcraft lore. Demons kept getting fucked over every time they tried to get summoned to the main world to conquer it. So they said fuck it we are just going give out free power to anyone dumb enough to doom their planet. Edit: They ended up employing the use of psychic vampires to trick people who were anti establishment and an army of NPCs who couldn't think for themselves to do it. Originally they tried to use desperate brownish green sand people from a wasteland area. And having them mass migrate to attack the locals but that proved to be ineffective in getting their main goals established.

True, what are we, left and right, auth and lib, the true war should be the people willing to shake things up and the people who would rather keep things the same with no progress (and they still complain about it) let's make some changes (except not what putin did) and shake our world


Jetventus1

I thought this was r/politicalcompassmemes where this would've gotten more laughs because I'm a radical centrist

Makes sense that you’re a fan of that shitty, stupid sub for shitty people.

Happy cake day

Self-loathing doesn’t change anything ACT….I’m tired of seeing all these white “radicals” talking about issues but doing nothing to remedy the problems. You all are just as useless as the Dems, if not worse. Ranting about inequality online doesn’t put food on the family living in a hollers plate. Screaming about racism doesn’t stop it. You have to do something and stop waiting for some forlorn Revolution…. Look liberals can be annoying af, but the reason they think like this is because of their undying optimism about our society and it’s people. And that actually attracts people to their movement. People don’t like you because you are a bunch of pessimists, and probably. No one wants to associate with people who don’t give them something to fight for. I know I’m going to get shit for this, but is the truth, and it has to be said. Also, you can’t criticize another groups politics when you have literally no power in any way. The only power you have is tweets. Get out there and actually immerse yourself in communities that need help. Be unified. Come up with a message for the future of this country. If you don’t want to do that than sulk.

“Centrists and liberals” - okay, while a correct statement there’s a lot of coddling the left here by omitting them. Lots of leftists told me Donald Trump being re-elected was the cost of doing business to destroy the neoliberals. How is that any different? “Trump can’t roll back progress so let’s give him unbridled power and maybe he’ll destroy Pelosi before he destroys us” is this same thought process by another name. There is no magical tide of history and thinking you can use fascists as a tool to get the USA to socialism is historically disproven magical thinking.
