I know they’re going to say it is only jokes. Fuck that. I get y’all want to be edgelords, but this is the most dangerous thing that has happened this century. I would be surprised now if we make it to the end of the year without some people getting assassinated for real, and it will target overwhelmingly the leftest end of the spectrum.
Example, example, example. There are others.
Y’all are on the precipice of finding out firsthand the difference between “OMG I’m so oppressed, the police are racist and I’m struggling to pay my bills, civil war y’all” and “OMG I’m so oppressed, a gang of big violent fuckers with bats and boots and the support of the government just attacked my whole community, seriously hurt me, and burned part of my house down. They told us if they find us here tomorrow, they’ll kill us.”
This is so reductive as to be completely meaningless.
The far left are already fucking this up. Look at these dumbass edge lords.
Idk about the people in this thread; the accounts and that whole blahaj genre of left is unfamiliar to me so I can’t say. But I will say that some of the other super “left” accounts that I have observed being super amped up about not voting for Biden being real important, and not really being all that convincing about other aspects of their left persona, have pivoted seamlessly into being super amped up about how this is a good thing and everyone on the left in the US needs to do a lot more of it.
I bet that a lot of the leftists are Russian trolls.
Remember we live in divided times. Keep an eye out for the reasonable people. We need to stick together.
It’s easier than ever to spread distrust right now. And we have to deal with a foreign adversary who will 100% try to turn this violent.
Russians played the Black Lives Matter vs Blue Lives Matter and tried to make both sides distrust. It’s not just our base instincts at play here, but also foreign interference from our enemies at play.
100%
And a lot of people work by emotion and groupthink and really want someone who’s super confident with their presentation, who can tell them how to look at it in some satisfying exciting way, and want to follow the presented thought patterns. It actually works really well.
Guys, those of you (what percentage Idk; for all I know it could be 100%, too) who are US left people - taking potshots of violence at a fascist movement is about like eliminating the wasp’s nest by going up and trying to destroy it with a ball point pen.
What are you bringing the “far left” up for? I don’t think you understand what you’re on about.
