Political Memes

I remember the SPUSA (Social Party USA) chapter I was briefly apart of…

I remember that asshole who ran it quite well. He basically started telling people I was a “rape apologist” when I refused to give my blessing as the “token trans chick” in a meeting, to a blatantly transphobic candidate he wanted to push.

What really confused me, was the time that he condemned Bernie Sanders and disavowed him as a “sham progressive”" because he “refused to advocate for violence against the police”, as if that was realistically something Bernie could do without being arrested on the spot, or would have been a smart idea even if he was allowed to say it.

Jesus Christ. I'd ask 'Why do narcissistic sociopathic twats always end up running things?', but unfortunately, I already know the answer. Because they want power, and they're willing to do whatever they can to shore it up, no principles needed.

Without oversight from an active community, that shit always seems to happen.

I’m convinced Tankies have no morals or principles, outside of a desire to find the most Left Leaning people and shout “I’M HOLIER-THAN-THOU!” at them

It's exhausting. I just want to not die.

... well, I guess that's not REALLY true.

I just want my friends and family not to die. Apparently that's too much to ask.

I would like it if their demonstration didn't involve making everything in our lives worse for no gain. Like, a whiteboard will do, I swear.

Sadly they may be just as reactionary, but they are nowhere near as effective. Too busy eating their own for failing purity tastes instead of getting irrationally angry anytime a Republican Candidate breathes....

Tbf most leftists seem to define leftist by differing qualities. To one you're leftist as long as you aren't racist/-phobic, to another that non-racist liberal isn't a leftist because they don't want to murder landlords in the street for the crime of renting out a house (or, y'know, kidnap a rich teen, rob a few banks, pull some unsuccessful bombings, kill the first black school superintendent and a few more people, and die in a shootout with the cops. "Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people" and all that).

The more tame example may reach a day where they are at least less upset, maybe even happy. The reactionary murderer example will never be happy because the problem is inside themselves but they externalize it as "kill and murder people I don't like," and yeah ain't nobody going for it. And of course it isn't just those two, it's a spectrum, but ykwim.

Hell, they'll be disappointed by our populace.

It's only missing a fascist puppeteering them

Those parties are rarely a significant part of the governing process, and shouldn't really be considered as a fair barometer of any given country's overton.

Also, several European socialist, democratic socialist, and social democratic parties have labelled Bernie's proposal for M4A as radical even by their standards, and American social politics to be well to their left, particularly on race issues.

France had a national panic about "American University Wokeism", which can basically be defined as "not being rancid festering dick cheese to muslims for the jollies and trying to use gender inclusive language to recognize trans and NB folks."
