@AlexisuwuAlexis @LinkofSunshine Um, yes. Every time I hear about speech laws in other countries, I inevitably feel terrified. Can't imagine what we'd be seeing right now from the Trump administration without the First amendment.

@LinkofSunshine like if chick-fil-a wanted to could they run a ad labeling all the gay people who boycott them as pedophiles? and get away with it?

Were there ads like this in the 90s and 00s against gay people or have Republicans become the party of degenerate scumbags only recently

@MSA21212 @hecubian_devil

@FloraKaline @hecubian_devil yeah how did that work out for the left wing parties of Germany, when the communist party worked with the Nazi party to bring down the weimar republic which was dominated by SocDems?

@bradjchester @Kat_Says_Stuff The degree to which the left has been willing to become a Nazi Bar is depressing. I saw someone posting Sinfest comics about holocaust denial and someone was saying 'oh, he just means it about ZIONISTS.'

@Kat_Says_Stuff I will choose to never be in a coalition with Nazis and suggest you do the same!

*young Democrat opposes israel* hell yeah *you Republican opposes israel* …In your own words… say why

It was wrong to whip a bunch of young people up into a frenzy, demand they be treated as gently as possible, and then tell them that treatment was literal fascism while simultaneously downplaying the threat of actual fascists who want to ruin their lives.

@hecubian_devil Despite what you tell yourselves, liberals like change, particularly lasting and institutionally robust change (what you deride as “incrementalism”), and you are failures at it to an even greater degree than you are at radical reform. Consider why no one wants to be you.

internet leftists when people who oppose genocide are morally consistent about it:

the formal position of PSL is that Tiannanmen Square didn’t happen, but if it did happen, it would be good

Mon Mothma blew up two Death Stars, toppled the Empire, and restored democracy, Gerrera died an easily avoidable death on a dusty planet because he sat on his ass instead of running a few paces. Score one for the resist libs lmao

We should have a program where we permanently trade China 100,000 American leftists for 100,000 Chinese dissidents

Today, like every day, Merrick Garland sat down with a cup of tea at precisely 11am. He then opened one email, composed a thoughtful response, saved it to drafts, and took lunch. Back at the office, he opened the draft, fixed a typo, hit send. "Justice is done," he chuckled.

@trouble_man90 The left doesn’t believe that winning elections solves anything so I don’t think they have a problem with the outcomes

What we’re seeing now in our nation’s political landscape is the obvious outcome of leftists engaging in a decade long crusade against the Democratic Party. And they were successful—democrats are broken, defeated, embarrassed, in disarray, and out of power, just like they wanted; but at what cost?? The Supreme Court is gone perhaps for the rest of our lives, fascists are days away from taking power, the country has regressed socially, leftist policies are unattainable, even center left policies seem out of reach right now. Our youth aren’t as left leaning as they should be. All the things that the collective left should have been doing over the past decade got neglected because leftists decided punishing democrats over a lost primary was worth destroying themselves and their political aspirations as well. And now we both have nothing.

Across the political spectrum, this cynical aversion to ever possibly harming whatever sacred totem of righteousness various groups have latched onto just needs to be unashamedly rejected. Life is about trade-offs and anyone who refuses to acknowledge that is an enemy of progress

Gaza was apparently so important that it required us to again sacrifice the Supreme Court, the house and the senate, sacrifice passing any legislation or appointing any judges for the next four years, as well as putting our civil and voting rights in jeopardy. Yet since the election we have barely heard a peep from them.

people, like clockwork, will yell at me and say Biden was actually a fascist Republican who tripled their student loans and personally banned abortions and if I correct them they’ll say “the fact that I could believe this says a lot about society” so let’s just skip that plz

elected left threw in with Biden because he did what they wanted him to do, but entire left media ecosystem just relentlessly lied about this over and over, including by turning on people like AOC, so both factions realized there is little to be gained from working together

I’m being hyperbolic but I’m just so frustrated by the left everywhere embracing its absolute dumbest ideas and shitting on its best ideas. complete suicide
