Maybe if the wokies were more willing to rip people’s arms off, the fascists wouldn’t be all clamoring to come out from under their rocks.

Whining about it won’t change anything.

Want an honest answer?

Fascists end up like WWII Germany, with The Other persecuted and everyone living in fear.

Leftist extremists end up like the USSR or France right after the French Revolution.

The difference? Extreme leftism is usually auto-correcting and indiscriminate about who suffers. It can only be sustained if authoritarians trick everyone into giving them power. Fascism requires an external reset and is very methodical about the suffering.

Umm, no offense, but is English your first language…? I think I’m losing something in the translation.

If you have a choice between you and your enemy getting $100 OR you and your enemy getting punched in the face, the fascist choose the punch in the face while the woke chooses the $100.

This is because either the fascist is so well off that the only joy they see is other people suffering, or so bad off that the only joy they can feel is in other peoples suffering. The woke just wants to make everything better.

Create post

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
