I don’t agree with this take. I don’t think any leftist is fooled by Bernie’s lying ass, or that the racist MTG all of a sudden has a soul.

The problem is there are very few leftists in the US. Many people call themselves one, but are liberals in reality. So my disagreement was over semantics more than anything. Otherwise, I agree with your take.

Hi Texas

Then again, I never thought Tucker Carlson would make sense!

Actually Tucker Carlson is no yokel - he has a priceless education. St George's is not famous or a "brand name" in the eyes of the masses, but you get a world class education in the liberal arts there. And the same is true of Trinity College.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Carlson

"....Carlson was briefly enrolled at Collège du Léman, a boarding school in the Canton of Geneva in French-speaking Switzerland, but said he was "kicked out".[86] He attained his secondary education at St. George's School, a boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island, where he started dating his future wife, Susan Andrews, the headmaster's daughter.[87] He then spent four years attending Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut and graduated in 1991 with a B.A. in history.[88]

However, the history of his career shows that Mr Carlsen has, from that privileged position, spent his time systematically enabling and supporting and spreadiing ignorance, demagoguery and and outright racism. For decades on end.

We cannot say he didn't know better - you only have to look at his education to understand that he has no valid excuse of "ignorance" for the many vile things he has said and done.

The leopard does not change its spots, they say. I would give it some time and see if he has actually changed. I doubt it. I think he is just infliltrating.

For sure. Anytime someone like him or MGT does this about face and feigns morality, it screams paid actor. Much like Bernie been a sheepdog for the Dems, these two are emerging as sheepdog for the republicans.

I refuse to believe these parties are redeemable, because they aren’t. These parties aren’t fluid! They have always represented the elite and the elite only. They will always be capitalist, racist, and genocidal.

The only reason the US and Western Europe are rich nations, is because of their lack of any humanity.

Fortunes built off of African slaves. Fortunes built off of stealing natural resources. Fortunes built of murdering and stealing peoples land.

Then they have the nerve to vilify the very people they’ve murdered and stole from.

I’m ashamed of this country! Not because of the sociopathic elite. I’m ashamed of my brothers and sisters that are soulless. They punch down. They blame each other.

They don’t have the ability to think for themselves, yet they only think of themselves. US liberals may be the most self serving and immoral people in existence, besides the Israelis.

The people of the US deserve what’s coming. 70% or so vote for Republicans or Democrats in every election. This means 70% of Americans are soulless, genocidal, fucks.

Only one country outpaces the immorality of the US and its Israel, where 85 - 90% are genocidal maniacs.

I live in the US and I would gladly give my life to stop what’s happening.

I’ve gone through the motions of trying to stop what’s happening, but protests and writing politicians ain’t going to cut it.

Aaron Bushnell was a kind soul, that deserves a higher circle in the afterlife than I do, but I’m not going out like that.?

What happened to the BlackStone executive caused fear. They are so scared, they made up a story of CTE and the NFL.

I don’t condone striking fear into anyone, so don’t get me wrong. 🤞🏻

The elite can’t do shit without us. We are their drivers, their chefs, their assistants, their waiters, their maintenance workers, their construction workers, their babysitters, etc.

When you go to protests, make like minded friends. Make plans, brainstorm, figure out ways to disrupt the system. We need ideas, and we need to recognize our enemies.

If there was ever a time for class solidarity, it’s right now and it’s urgent.

We have the power! It’s time we realize this and we take it back.

This is about your kids, your family, humanity in general. Show me what you’re made of men/women!
