Normally hate political memes in this kind of tone and format. The bland "Occupy Democrats" type ones, you know. Can't really find fault in this one though.
To be fair a casual understanding of history shows they're practicing Christianity as it always has been
I love that Gladiator, the 2000 film, showed us Commodus a rich emperor who was insanely obsessed with getting everyone's attention and the US has Elon Musk showing everyone that he wants to be at least knows as the best digital gladiator of video games while we have Nero/Trump watching the city burn.
It is like we are working on The Decline of an Empire: Greatest Hits! double gate fold album for 2025.
Well, hopefully you can avoid Poilievre. Otherwise, you might be joining us on the crazy train.
Don't worry, it's obvious from the inside too.
As goes America so soon shall go Canada.
I can't understand why there isn't a large group of people with marshmallows hanging out in DC. It's just. What does it take?
It took centuries for the Roman Republic to fall. At some point in time, they were past the point of no return without themselves even realizing it.
I think we are in that position now. We have been on the decline for more than a decade now, and have had several opportunities to correct or reverse course, but the wrong decision is made at every opportunity because it's far easier for powerful influential people to increase their power, wealth and status at the expense of everyone else and suffer no consequences for doing so than it is for them to sacrifice their own power, wealth, and status for the benefit of the collective. Are we past the point of no return? I'd say an argument could be made for either yes or no, but we are undeniably closer to the precipice than we have ever been as a nation since the Civil War (which never truly ended).
Nah we're at the part when Rome when from Republic to dictatorship
This sums up how it feels to me as well. To me it was pretty much the eighties with deregulation and lowering taxes and globalization.
The average life of an Empire is about 250 years. It's just about time.
The American people voted a traitor into power that actively works for a hostile foreign power to destroy their country. And yet they can themselves patriots. Pathetic.
That traitor is capitalism. And until people stop supporting that trader it will only further degrade
Well, I didn't vote for that bag of shit
Not enough people voted, period.
Plus, they still have slavery! In the constitution it says slavery is not allowed, "except when incarcerated". There are states where incarcerated people, convicted by a corrupt justiciary system, are forced to work without pay.
Plus, they just elected an autocratic hate and fear spreading idiot who is a puppet of Putin and does everything in his power to make the US an even worse oligarchy.
The world isn't just watching, the world is watching in extreme horror and disgust.
The world isn't just watching, the world is watching in extreme horror and disgust.
To be fair some are looking for ideas, the Americans are not the only ones with issues.
But they are one of the most influential in the world, and THE most influential ally we have.
We have slavery in our everyday lives without being incarcerated, we are debt slaves, we are wage slaves without freedom of movement.
Plus, they just elected an autocratic hate and fear spreading idiot who is a puppet of Putin and does everything in his power to make the US an even worse oligarchy.
Oh sure, but we do that with every President. Trump's a Putin Puppet. The Clintons Shill for China. Biden bent backwards for Israel. They're all deeply in the bag for the Saudis.
That's before you get to Musk or Gates or Bob Iger or David Solomon absolutely leading our national leadership around by the nose
The world isn’t just watching, the world is watching in extreme horror and disgust.
They've been watching since Nixon. But they still keep cashing our checks, so they can't be that upset.
Guys like Starmer and Truduea and Shultz were lining up to kiss the ring as soon as the election results came in.
They've been watching since Nixon. But they still keep cashing our checks, so they can't be that upset.
It's the other way around. The US national debt is more than it's GDP. Where do you think they borrow that money from. We just don't want the US as an enemy because we want our money back. And so far the US has been the only country fucked up enough to drop not just one, but 2 nukes, not to wipe out military targets but 2 entire cities.
The large majority (73.1%) of US debt is owned domestically. US foreign debt is well, well below GDP: https://usafacts.org/articles/which-countries-own-the-most-us-debt/
26.9% still is a lot of money.
I didn’t know the fact above. Assumed more. But for a familiar scale that’s like a $13,000 auto loan of an average income household.
That means the big scary national debt could be paid off fairly quickly with only a marginally higher tax burden to the biggest corporations. We may need to do that if, for example, a bunch of political grifters wreck our credit.
Not to wipe out military targets but 2 entire cites.
We call that “for funsies” in the States. You ever hear of the Amchitka Island Nuclear Tests? Those seals had it coming!! /s
Anything for profit.
It's not just the US, but they are the fastest on this path
If you ain't first you're last! - America taking its notes from Ricky Bobby
Other are looking and taking notes of what works and what doesn't.
And I'm here with my bag of popcorn enjoying watching it fall
I am so not.
civilized
your colonialism is showing.
They’re asking if a civilized country would deny healthcare. They’re not calling themselves civilized other than they have healthcare and the US does not.
It's not the laopards. Its they themselves who cut off their noses to spite their own faces. Bcos Gaza. Lofl.
Guess you’re fine with genocide so long as your team gets to win the capitalist Olympics
I guess you're fine with genocide as long as it's the goal of the side you support. I call that hypocrisy.
Uh what? No, I’m not ok with genocide which is why I refused to vote for the democrats who are fully responsible for it.
Right. And I'm sure you're happy with the results. You let this one issue keep you from preventing an insurrectionist rapist convicted felon in to the highest office in the land. The fact that you're American and allowed this to happen is exactly what I meant in my original comment.
They chose to make Gaza worse but also make the county worse because the alternative wasn't as good as they would have preferred
Gaza worse? Biden already set the bar in hell. Supposedly a cease fire is in the works, and if so and Israel abides by it (the latter unlikely) liberals can go fuck themselves for eternity for constantly refusing to listen to the left. It’s liberals fault they’d rather lose to fascists than embrace any leftist positions. I for one will never ever vote democrat again country be damned.
That ceasefire is all smoke and mirrors. If tiktok does end up getting banned, the moment they go dark is when that ceasefire will come to an end.
Tik tok is not the only media stop being ridiculous. As for the ceasefire we’ll see it’s already better than biden.
Tiktok was the only media exposing it for what it was. All other forms of media including the government is in genocide denial while supporting zionists and their slaughter of Palestinians
I’m not on tik tok and I’m fully aware. I’ve been aware for a long time even before the most recent situation. Gen z and the oldest alphas needs media literacy if they think tik tok is the only source of information out there.
Well now they'll definitely listen to you.
The democrats represent their donors, not the working class. They never listened in the first place why start now?
A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.
