MSDOS KAPITAL posted:the seductive thing about identity politics, and where it differs from class politics, is that people can be allowed to feel empowered by them without threatening capital. capital can let people grapple with their alienation from production in a way that feels meaningful to them but that will ultimately not address that alienation, and thus not challenge capitalist rule. "is M4A going to solve racism, sweaty?" and so on This is why liberalism has always had a symbiotic relationship with fascism, and why stalin correctly called liberalism social fascism

what, that they have no intention of doing anything about it? republicans will still talk up the various (imaginary) nefarious democrat plots to take our guns. dems responding to republicans making wild deranged claims with either feeble protestations of "um, actually" or some deathly embarrassing slogan is part of why they will be destroyed.

so let me get this right... the dems go rabid and froth at the mouth, with blood shot eyes to scream at you to vote... but when people have been dying, including children from covid over 2 years, with sudden sparks of violence that is not even in the bit surprising, extinguishing 19 children... they themselves don't vote on bills? yeah, they can go get destroyed

VOTERS signal NO Dem vote imminent Democrats can make a choice, voters say. “Democrats can cast their vote in Congress” based on how politicians stand on guns, health care, abortion, economic relief, frankly anything at all that just isn't giving billionaires and defense contractors yet another money shower. VOTERS say Democrats can work with voters now to give us any reason whatsoever to support them. They are skeptical. “Unlikely, burnt in the past”

also I said they could apply the application takes a couple years to get processed and any mistakes probably mean you have to start all over. I know it sucks but better things aren't possible right now. if democrats don't like it, complaining to me isn't going to help as I'm powerless to vote for them until they fill out all the paperwork. in the meantime they should address more material conditions and maybe a couple generations from now my descendants, assuming I have any, will cast a ballot for a democrat

the problem isn't guns as much as it is that the entire nation is a fanatical callous death cult who doesn't care about the lives of anyone and is not only willing but enthusiastic about socially murdering you and your loved ones. you don't go on a murder rampage if you feel like you will have many happy years of fruitful existence in front of you. i'm sure having a bunch of cops bust down your door and temporarily taking a bunch of extremely expensive possessions of yours while saying that you are an "extreme risk to society" is going to really make people feel valued and protected
