Has anything changed in 70 years? The legacy of the suppression of the left wing in the United States is still with us today!
The cold war ended, the USSR collapsed, and china shifted to being a semi-capitalist autocracy.... I could go on but you're just trying to dunk on the libs (like MAGA, big surprise) and I'm not one anyway.
You're living proof that the Cold War mentality is alive and well lmao
Cool let's just insult each other, Hexbear is great ๐๐ฏ
Genius strategy to never allow yourself to grow as a person. Any time anyone points out something negative you're doing, close your mind to it with a reactionary "I'm being insulted!!" and shut down in a huff
You said:
Glass houses and stones
that's not an insult. it's quite literally a statement of fact.
You understand the fact that the content of the dunks, and what we're dunking ON, being different materially matters right? That just the mere fact that we both dislike liberalism doesn't make us the same when we dislike it for entirely different reasons?
Like, even on the few points where we agree, its almost always different reasons and logic behind taking those positions.
Similar because a good portion of the propaganda in both extremist groups is coming from places like the CCP and Kremlin that want to destabilize the US and other powerful countries (like India).
Divide and conquer isn't anything new, but it's implementation on social media is.
Question for you, why would the destabilization of the US be a bad thing? For me it would be an objectively good thing considering all the evil in this world it has wrought. While I will continue to deny that I'm a paid shill for China and ESPECIALLY Russia, I won't deny that the end of western neoliberal hegemony is a desirable goal for me.
The idea that American right wingers are taking their ideological cues from a communist government is probably the most galaxybrain take I've ever heard
And by the way, it's the Communist Party of China (CPC). You just come off as ignorant and possibly racist when you deliberately use the wrong name for them.
And are you actually saying that destabilizing the hegemonic global empire is a BAD thing? Let alone the fucking genocidal religious fascist government that's running India right now??
Yoooo is that a new emote? It rules.
Yeah, I think it got made around when the 'Hitler particle' quote started floating around
It's very easy to never question your own world view if you think everyone you engage with that disagrees with you is getting talking points from another government. Have you considered that your thinking that our ideas come from government talking points IS an actual talking point from western politicians?
According to who? People defending the narrative that they are contradicting? Yeah man. What a totally unbiased and reliable source for that information.
lmaoooooo
Impossible that the social institutions we built back then could still be in use when the fucking water pipes we built back then still are
And we live in a gerontocracy, like the children of the people responsible for the stuff that happened 70 years ago are still in power right now. It's not like 70 years is a world away, the current US president has firmly established memories of 1954, the guy was 12.
Very true. In fact I would like to elaborate on your point to say the very same individuals in charge during all the heinous shit during the cold war are still in place, of whom Biden is one.
