Americans are genuinely shocked to learn that most people around the world don't find the proposition of throwing babies into incinerators for eternity so that the most comfortable people in history can maintain their comfort very persuasive.

After this last year, I need Americans to understand that I would support their destruction even if revolution wasn't the prospect on the other side. If the genocide in Gaza wasn't a red line for you, I hope your entire family is turned into meat.

Man, I'm an Amerikan black enby and I've been trying to get the crackers to internalize this for a full year now. If they're not listening to me, they're definitely not gonna listen to you, big homie; you need to find a way to incept this into a cracker's head and get them to repeat it

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Please don't turn me into meat, I can't help that my parents are libs sadness

[-] Redbolshevik2@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

Don't worry buddy. I don't have the power to turn people into meat, otherwise there'd be a lot more meat.

For the first time ever, Republicans will be in control of the government.

"Tankies" a real insult

"Liberal" not real

Got it

Coping libs are rapidly approaching their own Jan 6 level of delirium. I don't think they have the guts to do it, which makes their futile little angry boy raging more enjoyable to watch. Being a leftist almost feels sinful at moments like this

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 58 points 1 month ago

Their idea of January 6th would be cancelling New Yorker subscriptions en masse or something.

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 49 points 1 month ago

They can't even quit twitter☠️

[-] LeZero@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Just canceled my subscription to the failing New Yorker, bye bye

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Right? To watch this meltdown feels decadent in the ice cream commercial sense, I feel like a cozy little kid bundled up all warm, watching a morality play called Why Doing Hitler Shit Never Pans Out

I'm gonna start trolling them like "slide for Kamala" i-cant give em that Lil Durk treatment, "c'mon lib when you gon slide for Kdolf"

western leftists

who do you think wants the collapse of the great satan the most, LIB

[-] Redbolshevik2@hexbear.net 63 points 1 month ago

This idea that desiring the downfall of the US is relegated to "Westerners" is so revealing of their Hitlerite chauvinism. They genuinely believe their own bullshit.

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 41 points 1 month ago

The rest of the world wants a strong US state because who else will give us our liberty if it was ever threatened by us fantasising about governing ourselves?

[-] SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net 50 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They don't possess the basic empathy skills to a) recognize that the ~7 billion or so people outside of the West are actually people with internal lives, hopes, fears, worries, desires, etc, and b) that the lives of those people would be infinitely improved if the American hegemon collapsed. The "western leftist" position (at least economically) is the position - knowingly or unknowingly - of the vast majority of the world population, but they are also the most powerless people in the face of imperialist plunder and austerity.

To any libs lurking on Hexbear: One of the most highly populated countries on the planet, and the single largest economy and manufacturing power, holds the position that the world can be improved for the poor via massive development projects and facilitating fairer trade. Both things are in fundamental opposition to the position of the United States, which only destroys that development in wars (Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Vietnam, Korea, etc, while China has not militarily attacked a country in decades) and relies on setting up terribly imbalanced deals through either IMF-led austerity or more directly through coups and colour revolutions to install compradors.

I am firmly an internationalist, and while I'm in the UK and not the US, I would still always support a party or initiative that prioritizes substantially alleviating the suffering of those abroad, even if it negatively impacted myself and others through previously easily-accessible commodities no longer becoming accessible (fruits in off-season, etc). Though I don't believe it would even have to require much suffering and sacrifice for the working class, because most wealth and capital in Western countries is obviously stolen from the workers by the 0.1% and we could simply take it and redistribute it.

Though I don't believe it would even have to require much suffering and sacrifice for the working class, because most wealth and capital in Western countries is obviously stolen from the workers by the 0.1% and we could simply take it and redistribute it.

If all the wealth in the world was distributed in equal amounts to every person, then each person would make about $54.000 dollars a year. Every person would own 2.5 acres of land, if it was distributed equally. If we just redistributed the financial assets of the richest 1% in the world, then that would be about $24.000 a year.
If all the money (which I understand is made up) in the world was distributed in equal amounts to every person, then each person would make about $10.500 a year.
The first would put me much better off than I am now. The second, assuming rent and so on is still a thing, would make me slightly worse off. Not even incredibly worse off, just a bit worse off, in exchange for basically ending hunger/houselessness. I'd be fine with that.

I know this is a meaningless exercise, what is "wealth"? How would it function? Inflation? But again, the financial system is itself fictitious, we produce 1.21 times the amount of food needed to feed the global population, about 40% is discarded before reaching a supplier. There's so many empty houses. The market for speculating on debt is larger than the amount of debt. If we go into the practicalities of it, we have to acknowledge that "redistributing all wealth" - however irrational - would still be more rational than what is going on now.

Don't blame us for the fact that you're lying in the bed you made. This is always how colonialism and white supremacy ends. We "tankies" have been fighting for over a century to take the only off-ramp out of this, and you violently suppressed us every time.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 51 points 1 month ago

So we're to blame for their system decaying inevitably in to fascism, because... Struggling to follow their argument.

[-] TrueStalinistPatriot@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

to follow it you would need to teleport

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 15 points 1 month ago

If you hadn't brought it up, the country wouldn't be going fascist! You posted a cartoon on Instagram that made 16 million people stay home! You predicted this outcome and that means you must have wanted it! /s

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

You pointed out the problem, thus you're responsible for it getting worse, just like racism

[-] TrueStalinistPatriot@hexbear.net 50 points 1 month ago

"you reap what you sow" no we reap what YOU sow this is entirely the fault of reformist cucks

Also it's not like there's millions of tankies in the US all voting for trump lmao

[-] AmarkuntheGatherer@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

that's not a legitimate insult for ppl who actually ~~go outside~~ can't read

[-] Dimmer06@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago

The fascism has been here since at least 1946. Probably more like 1776. Libs are just scared it might hurt them now unlike before.

[-] Alisu@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

Don't tell them what inspired nazi theory and how it has to do with the US

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

> Calls people tankies

> Talks about going outside

lol

[-] frauddogg@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ask me how I know this poster's white and comfortable?

Because fascism has been here since Reconstruction was intentionally downed. Do the ghettos live under a 'democracy'? Are the tenement slums 'properly represented in the halls of Congress'? She's just terrified the fascism she's been claiming 'didn't exist' for the past 20 years will come to her; and at this point, I say let it.

I'm not naive enough anymore to believe that a cracker suffering the way my people have been forced to learn how to live and thrive under would ever learn the lesson anymore; I just want to see blood at this point.

Louder for the libs in the back: Bernie Sanders was the compromise candidate.

Obligatory fuck Bernie Sanders for stanning the currently-committing-genocide candidate.
