That was always the plan, and it’s worked many times before on smaller scales, this is what they have been practicing for for literal decades now and they’ve managed to get all of their pieces into place. We have no valid options, this is going to lead to large scale conflict and there is fuck all to be done to stop it at this point. We lose or we lose fighting.

This is literally authoritarian rhetoric.

If the options are fight and die or just die then I’m going to fight.

We’re so fucked.

Fuck you. Do better.

How is that a false standard of beauty, perfection, or excellence?

So, in a situation and conversation about him being an ally in the only substantial way he can be in this specific situation you’re going to get hung up idealism about a perfect elected leftist representative in a country that has never reflected those ideals?

In a post discussing how he is one of the few U.S. politicians making a substantial stand against the authoritarian regime with the legitimate threat of arrest while we stand on the cusp of civil war, I would respectfully and highly disagree.

If the conversation is about what they are doing to help, maybe don’t be a dick about it, there is a time and a place. Choose your battles.

Tankies are not leftists, they’re authoritarian boot lickers, they just hate capitalism and love fascists and genocide.

A rational and situational understanding of the situation gets a lot of spears thrown at you, a lot of people claim left or right, I think for the most part the ones demanding absolute perfection with no compromises really just want a war. We’re in a world of broken boy soldiers with no glory to kill or die for. We’d rather devolve.

Yeah, that’s why there are so many protests going on right now with people being arrested for confronting and resisting the current administration, because leftists never do anything, right?

At this point I’d take that as a win. Do you not understand the shit soup we are drowning in right now? Don’t let your idealism be a tool for the fascists.

Only the sith deal in absolutes. Idealism is for idealists, aka tools. We are flawed beings, living in a flawed world, we have to deal with flaws. Nothing and nobody will ever be perfect for anything and everyone, that’s not a good reason to let fascists have their way. We can work out the details after the revolution.

I’ve been talking about this for a decade now and a lot of people accused me of being a conspiracy theorist.

Time is a flat circle that only consists of about 100 years. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it (or rhyme, whatever) and those that do learn from history are doomed to watch everyone else repeat it.

When someone is cooking a good meal, even if they are generally bad at cooking, shut up and let them cook.

If they hold him accountable it would set a precedent for the rest of them, they’d rather see the country burn than be held to their actions.

Love your username.

You’ve shed and replaced every atom that you were made of when you were born and many times over since then, are you still that same entity?
