Yep, I’m reminded of Nina van Zandt Spies an heiress who gave it up to marry one of the haymarket martyrs. Sure of the Haymarket widows she’s no Lucy Parsons, but America couldn’t handle the one of her, much less a second.
We don’t have a great many stories of people betraying the upper class for the lower, but all who do are welcome among us far more than those who betray our class for the upper are among them.
Every pickme to fascism gets to experience that. Dumb motherfuckers

Yep! I’m planning on purchasing a firearm in the next year. But I’m moving first so rather than move safes and firearms across state lines I’m waiting. Because there’s little in life that’s dumber than leaving around an expensive weapon that’s serial number is tied to your name
The onion can point to fascism and call it such and consistently oppose it. Might be the only news source that can sadly enough. So yeah I’m willing to put up with learning about mass shootings like this
Everything changes except people (ok we do but we haven’t had much evolutionary time given our reproductive rates since we developed permanent settlements)
If both are class traitors than I support the one who didn’t betray my class. But also engineers and tech workers are still working class and nowhere near CEO level.
I’m an engineer who went to private schools and came from a family of engineers. Doesn’t mean I’ve never been homeless, doesn’t mean my family wasn’t financially fucked by health insurance. The middle class aren’t ceo level even when we’re a shrinking class
I think he should be freed even though he’s innocent
Because they want the jews far away
So as competent as expected
Given how us dickless folks voted maybe that’s not the insult to use for those brainless jackasses
Yeah our wait times are like your free ones, but with higher prices than your paid ones
Oh veterans are fucked here too. Imagine the nhs but worse, now imagine you had to join the us military to get it
On one hand I’ve seen catholics reject the poor on a lot of topics, really basically all of them. But yeah the American Civil religion seems to be developing a strong cult of Trump. What concerns me is the bishops joining that cult.
It’s also weird because I’m so used to American fascists being super fucking protestant, and these ones kinda still are, they’re just like the bastard children of Calvinism and Franco era Spanish catholicism.
It’s populism, but it’s a populism of “things definitely aren’t good and need to change”. Hope worked as a democratic message, the dems were seen as the less corporate party, then the reps ran a right wing populist while the dems ran a former first lady who wasn’t acknowledging their needs and fears. The current situation has become one in which the dems see every election in terms of social issues because they don’t see the reality: they’re the party of “we need adults to govern” and the reps are the party of emotive grievance. The dems can’t win the bigot vote by being bigoted enough. But they can win the frustrated vote by running on a platform of reasonable and solid change by those committed to it. But if they di they lose the billiojsires to the fascists.
There is a shoet way to say it: Inattentive type (type I), Hyperactive type (type H), and Combination type (type C)
I routinely describe myself as ADHD type C
Yeah, it’s like how as an American i have to call myself an anti-monarchist because republican means not quite the opposite here
That’s fair. One formative experience i had was seeing my childhood church have many parishioners reject our priest. He was pretty radical for a catholic priest having gone on record asking his bishop to perform two separate lesbian weddings (his sister and neice), when I came out of the closet he offered to talk to my ex father about how there’s a commandment about loving family but none about gender, and he routinely called for his parishioners to think and actually strive to be better people. They did not like that. They also really didn’t like when he kept telling the teenagers that he’d rather we think about our beliefs and convert away than to just stay catholic because we were raised that way.
Yeah in my experience there are two types of libertarian, some lean anarchist but are uncomfortable with socialism, others lean fascist but are uncomfortable with fascism. Then there are those who are edgy liberals who are uncomfortable with how necessary regulation is but I haven’t seen many of them in a while
Except in texas
