I don’t understand why so many people think being vitriolic is in some way revolutionary. People who will stomp on anyone just because they feel like it, or because they want to feel superior, people who have zero sympathy or sensitivity to the fact that some might have different life experiences from them.

I don’t have any interest in being degrading to anyone who is not truly a terrible person. If someone doesn’t know something, I’m happy to try to teach them.

A million Leftists in America, a million Leftists promising to kill their boss with a shotgun, and absolutely none of them do anything except look at other Leftists to do it for them.

Every Leftist could die tomorrow, and once the bodies were cleaned up, not one thing wouldn't be done, they do nothing of value to society, they are parasites and saboteurs, and as we now see - wannabe terrorists - but too goddamn lazy to ever pick up a gun.

This was two weeks ago...

Need new news to feel better

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

"Some of you are going to have to realize really fast that posting on social media about your acts of resistance"

Leftists? Become self-aware? That ain't happening. They post for virtue signal points. They don't give a shit about actually doing stuff.

Leftists TAKE, they do not give. They've been screaming for a communist state for a century, but none of them actuallly go off and live in communes, and when asked what they would DO to contribute in the Utopia, their great vision is sitting at home, posting on social media. These are NOT useful people, they are idiots and parasites. At best, they harm society. They can never improve it, that would be work. "charitable actions like volunteering"

Again? Seriously? Leftists doing things for others? Leftists HATE others. They barely tolerate Leftists.

Which is fair enough, because Leftists are awful people.

"some acts require secrecy to be effective" Oh yes, I am sure you can organise terrorist attacks on Tumblr and no-one will notice. "how no one is currently firebombing a Walmart" Leftists absolutely can start doing that. Might want to ask yourself - how will humanity react, when Leftists become a threat?

Historically, the next step is that humans shoot the Leftists. What happened to The Weathermen? They were shot. You want to die? Ok, well, that is your choice, communist.

Then, afterwards, we'll make action figures out of the people who ended you.

Some of you are going to have to realize really fast that posting on social media about your acts of resistance, or the acts of resistance of your workplace/student group, or things you're planning, or even about charitable actions like volunteering, is a stupid idea in the kind of climate where such acts are increasingly incredibly necessary. And that therefore you cannot and should not assume that someone is apathetic or not doing anything important based on their social media activity. And that some acts require secrecy to be effective and people might only be able to safely talk about them years later, if ever.

And then get off your high fucking horse about how people aren't doing anything, how no one is currently firebombing a Walmart, how "white women who say things like 'joy is an act of resistance' take no other acts of resistance" etc. I promise that right now many ordinary people you will never know about are taking actions that seem small on their own but will lessen harm in significant and tangible ways, and that those people are doing more good than anyone whose main revolutionary actions are snarkily complaining online. This is not the time to be tallying social media points and using them to judge each other.

The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.

The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)

The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.

Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.

Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.

The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.

The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.

The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.
