  • You’re overestimating the uninformed stupidity of average people. They might be fine with trans people, but if they grew up in a conservative environment, they’ll act based on what their friends believe.

    Most will not accept that they were wrong, but they’ll be looking for villains for their suffering, and we need to point the finger at the wealthy. If we don’t, every single one will target us. They’re scared fools looking for answers, so we must give them.

    Honestly, Trump isn’t that much dumber than most presidents. He actually understood how to break the system, mostly because he wasn’t clouded by love for it. I wouldn’t call him a mastermind, but he has better political instincts than anyone. He’s an idiot, but he’s fully aware what he’s doing.

    They don’t deserve sympathy, but giving them mercy is necessary if we’re to undermine and resist fascism. I hate how hung up everyone gets on what people “deserve.” Punitive justice is trash, and I will not accept putting retribution before what’s right. I won’t defend the evil they committed, but I will defend them if they want to help.

    There is no way to undo an injustice. You can sometimes rebuild, but that isn’t undoing what was done. The past cannot be corrected, but the future can be improved. All that matters is what must be done. Kill the fascist threats, not as vengeance, but to prevent future harm.

    Fuck what you think people deserve. If you can make a person a fascist no more, they can once again be good. However, the only good fascist is still a dead one.



  • They’ll realize the economy crashed and look to blame someone. We need to tell them the real answer(the rich), or they’ll default to the wrong answer(the queers, Jews, brown people, women, other countries). Tell them who fucked the world up. Not Trump, but the real corporations that have been sucking us dry.





  • Why do we need the Democrats? Outside of relevant politicians in our cities, the party is obsolete. Elections are toast, and keeping them around when we can get rid of the worst of them is prudent. The accelerationists got what they wanted, so we need to do what the larpers wanted to do better than they can.

    The old game is over, and while the new one doesn’t yet have a meta, leaving the establishment behind when possible will benefit us the most.


  • You misunderstand current Trump voters. They were who we needed to sway. The neolibs are a tiny block compared to the disengaged poor people Trump reached. Neolibs must be pushed aside. They weren’t who we target for socialism. We must target the poor who lost faith in the system and leave the system behind. They’ll be more open than neolibs once they feel things are worse under Trump.


  • No. Harris did almost everything right. The only mistake she made was not being more radical. She needed to offer answers, but Trump offered more. She needed to admit where Biden fucked up, but she didn’t. She needed to be a populist reformer, but that would never have happened from her. She tried her best, but was set up to fail.

    Biden needed to be a 1 term president after the midterms, but nothing helped him realize that. He needed to accept his limitations earlier. An open primary from the start was needed. I was wrong about that myself.


  • I’m a firm believer in providing answers to why we’re here. The buck stops with power, and the rich had all the power. Neolibs did their bidding, and thus they deserve no kindness. I’m never listening to their arguments for business again. They need to be told to shut the fuck up. They have no goodwill from the public, so we don’t need to pretend to like them.

    They can be our allies because our interests might align, but we gain more by explaining why they failed than by letting them have respect. We need to build the left as an answer, and neolibs have no place with us.


  • As someone who disagreed with the poster originally, you’re the one not thinking in terms of utility. We can accept help from neoliberals, but they are the people who brought us here. We needed left wing populism, but the Dems wouldn’t give it to us. They played by the book that got us fascism in the first place. The rich are responsible, and their enablers need to stfu. It’s time for bold action, not denial.
