Shitposts in languages other than English aren’t against the rules, and shouldn’t be, but can we get a translation? Because most of us got no habla for dat Espaniol.
Their eyebrows also close diagonally, which is obviously evil.
On the other side the “obvious way to make somrthing better” could itself not be very bright either.
One way to make something better could be not very bright, but are all ways to make something better not very bright? When someone keeps rejecting everything and offering nothing workable, good chance they just don’t want progress.
Did you… did you just ask me to explain my ideas only to completely ignore them? Like do you think that’s a funny thing to do?
I mean, my country of origin is a military dictatorship so I’ll answer with the way I’d like to fight the system if I had something resembling political rights: worker organization and dual power. The problem with the modern Western left is that it’s forgotten its more militant (and, uncoincidentally, more effective) roots; even if you only want to reform the system, in any negotiation you need leverage, and leverage is how you can help the other party if they accept and how you can hurt them if they refuse. Both the carrot and stick are necessary to turn leftwing ideas into leftwing policy. For example, would ICE be running amok like this if a significant number of Americans had went on strike and shut the country down back in April or even June? I sincerely doubt it. What’s great about my preferred way of fighting the system is that there’s a clear and realistic path from idea to action to victory (however you define that) with real precedent. Aside from being a good thing on its own, this means it’ll be much easier to get people on board who are dissatisfied with and hurt by the system but don’t see anybody fighting for them.
That aside, though, I’m not saying it’s my way or the highway; there are plenty of possible ways to fight the system, but liberals (as in establishment Democratic leaders and pro-establishment Democratic rank and file) aren’t doing any of them. Liberals only sabotage the people who are actually fighting the system while doing no fighting of their own. I mean is Schumer fighting the system? Is Jefferies? These people have only ever perpetuated the same system we want to fight and sabotaged or destroyed opposition to it. Unity with your allies is good strategy; unity with your enemies is folly.

Just like anything else an argument could be made for rehabilitation, but yeah banning for this is insane.
You don’t have to agree with how they are fighting the system,
This only applies if they’re fighting the system in the first place.

I think this is more of a loincloth at this point.
