Self inflicted oppression.

Can we stop the whole SJW shit now, this is what it did.

When saying “Israel shouldn’t commit genocide” is how you define “SJW shit” (stuck in 2014 with that terminology?), nobody here will take you seriously. (Before you answer that, by the way, understand this community has zero tolerance for genocide denial.)

Edit: maybe I phrased my comment poorly? I’m pointing out that they label people who acknowledge Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinians as “SJWs” – to show you how low their bar for “SJW” is.

No, a combination of white supremacists, self-serving billionaires, religious extremists, and useful idiots did this.

All of them united by sjws calling everyone they don’t agree with Nazis and being a General bürden on society.

Not saying that the other people did the right thing, just saying that this was expectable.

Yep, I understood your point the first time. It’s just an incredibly stupid one.

That’s just an argument that democracy cant work. Because voyers are too feeble minded to discern the wheat from the chaff.

I’d give this some credence if it was a “fool me once” but that’s not what this is.

If voters are gullible fools that we can be easily misled then that does explain why we’re here and why it can never be anything else.

As Orwell opined in an essay in 1937, democracies always tend to fascism if times are tough. Even relatively tough, with the poorest American being better off then the poorest 50% of the planet.

The irony that many low income idiots who rely upon the very safety nets that the Republicans are targeting to limit or destroy is palpable.

These movements are sometimes led by fantastically wealthy faux populists who hoodwink gullible voters by promising to solve a litany of problems that always seem to involve money, immigrants, and minorities. The appeals from these charlatans resonate most not among the very poor, but among a bored, relatively well-off middle class, usually those who are deeply uncomfortable with racial and demographic changes in their own countries.

That’s not how Republicans do. They’ll love every second of their own oppression so long as women/queer/colored/etc people are being oppressed too.
