Cool does that mean they're gonna vote this time

Will they have a candidate who seems worth voting for? The answer to both questions is "probably not".

Old man vs literally Hitler who's also old. But both are equally bad ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ /s

is this meme condoning violence or condoning conflating young leftists with violence?

either way this is fucking rancid.

people are being dragged out of their homes to be executed as we speak and none of them by “yesterday’s avant garde.” white supremacy has always been the west’s norm. slavery and economic inequality has always been the norm. violence against those who cannot resist is not edgy or new—it is literally the status quo.

This should be the top comment. Gold.

It's an old joke, about how today's avant-garde or radical is tomorrow's establishment. To quote Pterry, 'We Shall Overcome is a song which, in various languages, is common on every known world in the multiverse. It is always sung by the same people, viz., the people who, when they grow up, will be the people who the next generation sing We Shall Overcome at.

A Biden-supporting, Soviet-hating, Ukraine-backing, US-positive Market-socialist tankie.

Huh. I must be a new breed.

lmao, nice edit. Pretty far from your original stance of "I'm sure this guy is a tankie, I checked his post history!"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

I haven't bothered to check your post history, but assuming that the adjectives you listed are indeed true, I would not consider you a tankie.
