This person is a fucking lib, but I've known my share of nazbols and they're fucking annoying. I have a friend who's very much to the left on economics, he's all working class this and that but goes ahead and shares a video by fucking Camille Paglia
It's maddening. It's Paul Cockshott brain and we can do better.CW TERF shit
talking about how transgender people are essentially a sign of a decadent society.
Thing is, those are nazbols, not tankies. These people are immensely ignorant about social issues and history.
I love the parent comment:
Pro tip, leave the deprogram. It's a tankie subreddit that often use fear tactics to make you listen to opinion pieces that will negatively affect your perception on things.
Is stuff fucked in the US? Yes. But putting yourself in a fearmongering political echo chamber just makes it so much worse. The goal of that subreddit is to make you angry and get more engagement out of you from it, not to inform you.
Do r/196 users not see the irony of first posting this and then directly following up with your own fearmongering?
How can you be a leftist who lives in the US and not be angry?
Because they know that one day Bernie will rise again and save them from fascists and us. 
Western leftism is 200 people with a self-researched mosaic of Wikipedia articles attacking and defending the actions of communists from 100 years ago until we find the One Good Leftist who never did something problematic that we can all rally behind.

His guitar though
Over/under on them being a 196 /
