https://twitter.com/Lukewearechange/status/1376669658980450308?s=20 This tweet bugs the poo poo out of me because there's no contradiction between any of these flags in the context that they're being used. None The snake flag isn't actually about the big bad state taking away ur freedoms. To them "the state" isn't the cops, the CIA or the military. It's those evil minorities and the poor who would use these tools to push through reforms which would negatively affect them in some way either through increased taxes, diminished power or decreased control over the culture. In their minds they (read: white people with money) ARE America and this new society that's come up in the wake of the civil war/the sexual revolution/the fight for civil rights/etc that shares money and power with their inferiors is something else that's eating the good America (the "real" America if you will) alive from the inside. A hostile force that must be defended against and destroyed if necessary. That's kind of what fascism ~is~. This person isn't stupid, they simply identify with those in power more than those they oppress. They know exactly what each flag means and people like this aren't accomplishing anything by cheekily pointing out that when you use THEIR definitions of these symbols there are contradictions because nobody gives a poo poo about other people's definitions. Honestly I'm incredibly tired of this game people play where they try to get somebody to abandon their beliefs by pointing out hypocrisies or contradictions. The contradictions aren't actually there half the time (because liberals don't understand conservative thought as well as they think they do and vice/versa) and when they are nobody cares because most people don't try to fit their worldview into a single perfect coherent model of everything. Just explain why the underlying ideology is bad or fight them directly and get them kicked off of the local PTA board or whatever. This isn't that complicated.

incredibly weird that the same people that said $75k is the absolute most money you are allowed to make before you are too rich to deserve a stimmy check now want to uncap the SALT deduction that almost entirely benefits the extremely wealthy

As the guy doing the revisit of the Bush years I can say confidently that the answer is an emphatic "yes". Though they used to be more polished and better at hiding it due to the internet not being a thing. Hell, even way back after FDR passed the new deal like 80% of the media had a collective meltdown calling him a communist/terrorist/whatever. The US media has always been a sewer.

ted cruz beat every single "independent" and democratic member of the house and senate at exposing the horrific concentration camp conditions that weve known about for months with the sole exception of henry cuellar ted cruz beat aoc. omar. tlaib. bernie. all of them.

Also Democrats have become the party of stasis and protecting the status quo since the 70s which made them very popular with certain sections of the capitalist class including the media. As a result a ton of news coverage is basically just Democratic propaganda which pisses off conservatives.

I mean, the racists are there, and the overlap between the racists and the spite demons is pretty much 1:1, but I don't think anyone would still be flying confederate flags or gadsdens or that tacky trump 2020 bullshit if it didn't piss off the guy on their block who thinks getting somebody kicked off the local PTA board matters and is a sick own

Nothing better will come out of the USA. 1) Its people think they're more well-educated than they are. This leads lots of leftist movements into the ditch. 2) Politicians at this point are just trying to keep the power structure intact. 3) Corporations own everything. Embrace the gridlock and give up hope, it will set you free.

So the only time corporate news publishes anything of note its either an accident, off-sync messaging, or because someone slighted the news people personally and they're publishing in revenge. Cool. Cool cool cool cool

The US media has always been a sewer. Yeah I started going through old newspapers archived and google and it's funny how many anti-New Deal articles/letters to the editor sound like any "we can't have better things" list of talking points I've heard for the last 30 years.

I am having kind of a hard time not PMing some liberal psychopaths from D&D and just trying to figure out how they can live with themselves after instantly deciding that what the US runs no longer count as concentration camps the moment Trump was no longer in charge. It feels like it's impossible to still think that you're a good person in any way at all after such incredibly blatant disgusting poo poo like that, literal blue MAGA poo poo. I wish there was a single admin who wasn't an apolitical computer toucher/football fan/small business owner or whatever the gently caress is wrong with them lol
