“My enemy is simultaneously too weak and too strong”
Straight up fascism from conservatives
The Jan 6 insurrection was both Antifa leftwing crisis actors and also patriotic Americans doing the right thing.
J6 was all undercover antifa agents out to discredit Trump, that’s why Trump is promising Day One blanket pardons for any and everybody involved.
Also a peaceful tour group.
That’s my favorite paradox so far!
Joe Biden is running an international money laundering operation with Ukraine right under our noses.
Joe Biden is senile and doesn’t know where he is or put together complete sentences.
Well… which one is it?
Am high functioning sleep deprived this is basically what my life feels like
You should join a therapy club
The first rule of therapy club is that you talk about therapy club.
Joe could literally kick puppies and still won’t be half as much of an evil fascist dick as Trump.
both actually
To be fair, as a democrat, I generally view conservative voters as easily-misled people - essentially “dumb,” I view conservative leaders as thugs trying to overthrow America, and I view conservative corporate heads as ruling class elites. When you’re using such an overarching term as “Conservative” or “Left” it comes with the unsaid caveat that there are many subgroups that can differ greatly from one another.
Fascism requires an enemy that is too strong, to unify a base; and too weak, to convince the base of their superiority.
the left is all. the left is life
What I think is hilarious is when conservatives call Joe Biden of all people the radical left.
Oh we are safe, no way in hell Trump reads Dostoevsky
Ahahahaha. Nice one.
Thanks, it is good to know a few people got my niche reference.
Amazing to me that Trumpists have zero self awareness.
These “signs of fascism” docs should add “a blind and ignorant base”.
They read it as a recipe not a warning.
Ive also seen people who praise Elon Musk and Trump who said that the left is far right
Honestly I wish the proud rigged market capitalists who don’t believe in progressive wealth redistribution for a society with any equity would stop calling themselves the “left.”
It’s nice that you support 2 homeless people being allowed to get married regardless of gender identity and live in the same refrigerator box in the same gutter, but the fact remains that no one should be homeless in a society that generates such wealth. This neoliberal mindset shouldn’t pass for left-wing. Our entire effective political spectrum has been reduced to “give rich people all the money and let people do what they want socially” and “give the rich people all the money and torture any non-white conservative Christians socially.”
And yes, i’m voting for Biden to stave off Jerry Lewis Hitler, just as I did last time and Clinton before, full well knowing it solves nothing and only slows the rate of descent into oligarchal madness and dystopia. It’s just voting to keep the water pumps running on the Titanic, it buys time, it is not a path to survival in itself.
USA is a multi-party democracy, and as such laws and programs need to be approved by representatives with opposing views. Currently, republican governors are refusing to accept free federal money to feed children. There is absolutely no way they care about giving the homeless homes. I absolutely agree with you that this is an “orphan crushing machine” issue but unless the GOP implodes we’re not going to have such progressive policies.
My views on Republicans are similar. The voters are both ignorant and poor, as well as selfish and wealthy. Those are two subsets of the same group. The leadership tends to fall into the latter category, with a few idiots thrown in for good measure.
Most comments make this conclusion.
But none mention that at this point, hating on the left, the right or anyone other than those shoveling money is helping the status quo stay like it is.
Any radicalization is a direct effect of financial despair (slowly creeping up). The fascists are a symptom but the greedy are the disease.
It is what brought hitler to power and it is the same for trump. Please unionize and start striking, your life depends on it.
Its all true because to them the left is anyone that they dont like or agree with.
American “Left”: maybe we shold do some student debth relif? Just a tini-tiny. If you don’t mind.
Rest of the world right: universal education, more funding!
Rest of the world center: universal education, state must provide students with everything(including housing and food) so they don’t worry about anything else other than learning, state must provide teachers with everything(including decent salary) so they don’t wory about anything else other than teaching, state must provide universities with all necessary equipment, buildings must be maintained in good condition(so ceiling wouldn’t fall on students’ and teachers’ heads)!
I truly don’t mean to be pedantic here, but aren’t these nearly word for word the same beliefs Left-leaning people here have about the Right in America?
Maybe if you’re being generous and want to write out the other side of these beliefs you could leave out the descriptors “lazy and weak” and replace them with “psychotic and brainwashed”, but other than that, is this meme not the same for Left and Right?
If I had to guess what the conservative attitude is here, they notice that both poor and rich people (occasionally) disagree with their social project. Their news bubble presents all violence as left-initiated. Assume a binary mindset of “disagree with me = leftist” and you are left with what’s in the meme
