but it does

oh they will make you

and they know who all of yall are, no way to hide. why do you think they spend so much in surveillance.

already happening

its already happening. with all the bible shit in schools and child labor

we are in dire need of a new one

that would at least be hilarious

fuck him and his neoliberal “achievements”, btw

dude is making the 12hour workday into a thing for app workers and opening a dangerous precedent.

we just had climate catastrophe on one of our southern states and his economy guy just said we cant afford to put that in our budget. people are still mad he is taxing away the rest of their buying power while the rich pay literally no tax. his term has been breaking up strikes in the education system too, lately. oh he also achieved the 12-hour workday for app workers. did i mention big farm is still literally burning the country down?

fuck lula. i could go on & on about the shit his neoliberal government has been accomplishing for the bourgeoise. theres no viable meaningful replacement for him in the horizon that isnt a military adjacent fascist.

i guess we will be a full on pig dictatorship again by the late 2020s. i think i can already confidently say we failed to stop it, judging by the peoples massive support for every reactionary win right now.

bingo

what do you mean. democrats are commiting genocide in the middle east, torturing mexicans at the border, sending ukranians as cannon fodder.

and moving no muscle to stop and even contributing to any advance of the aforementioned fascism despite having the power to stop it.

science. realizing our monkey brains needs external help to actually try to be rational.

democrats are literally doing all these things, right now. and you really do think geopolitics justifies financing a big fascist for a genocide? cmon man. there isnt good justification to sit at the nazi table.

people dont want to vote to biden because peoples actual lives are still slowly getting worse, and all they can do is pretend not to be commiting war crimes. most countries with mandatory polling suffer from the same problem.

if anyone wants more from socialism they can quit being on the side of the actual politicians doing heinous shit and participate instead. real grassroots needs people.

no such thing as “jointly invaded”

the paragraph you are responding to is basically me saying “not orders of magnitude, here is a real world scenario to illustrate”

the tiny minority of us socialists are not capable of swaying public opinion the way you say we do.

if we were at all we would be doing much bigger countrywide striking, not still at convincing other people of anything.

yall need some history. the USSR and germany did not share borders until much later, the west was nowhere to be found by the time they reached berlin.

the us mostly really only helped by the end when victory over nazis was already on the horizon.

good point.

geopolitics is no excuse for the things being perpetrated inside but especially outside the us, currently by democrats. if the us made a bad judgment and found itself losing the situation, financing a literal genocide to avoid losing is not a justifiable thing to do here.

is this the whataboutism i hear about? can a country with gerrymandering and the electoral college (where most of the population hates its leaders regardless of party affiliation) be considered anything other than a dictatorship?

where people get kicked out of hospitals for not being able to afford it, teenagers are allowed (and sometimes coerced by circumstances) to work gruesome jobs and the schools teach religious slop as part of the law?

the OP article talks about something the US has been doing to the entire planet since the early 2000s with the patriot act, my dude…

when racism, imperialism and nationalism have been a main part of a given country’s identity for decades, yea thats fascism, and its precisely my point here!

don’t forget US segregation laws inspired the nazi treatment of the jews, and you havent changed much in that aspect since then, honestly. i don’t even need to say anything about nationalism, even americans can see it clear as the day. these things don’t lead to fascism, they are the alarm bells.

fascism is rising outside the west because of how tight of a grip you have on us and how you meddle with our electoral system (eg. imposing dictatorships on us). milei is widely and openly supported by western institutions. brazil has seen a lot of meddling for bolsonaro to succeed, also somewhat in the open. i could go on about this one.
