đMaximum DerekđMitch McConnell escorted away from cameras after freezing during a news conference
Move to lemm.eeLmao
The libs bending over backwards to lick his arse despite spending every single day of his life working to kill the poor deserve the same suffering.
brygphilomenaJust because he doesnât have empathy doesnât mean I donât.
Paying him empathy is a slap in the face to all of his victims.
You wouldnât do this shit for anyone else that murders children. I 100% guarantee you that this man has killed hundreds of children in his lifetime.
The issue you libs have is that you believe that the institutional murder that these fucks perform is magically different to murder that isnât institutional. It allows you to look the other way when they perform horrors that are unspeakably more evil, and then to performatively pretend youâre on some moral high ground for being nice to someone far far far worse than any person that has directly murdered with their hands. Youâre not on moral high ground for it, all it does is highlight the incredible lack of principles that liberals have, that institutions and performing in the ritual acts of the civic religion are more meaningful to you than the actual pain, suffering and death theyâve reaped upon people.
Itâs one of many reasons so many people continue to stop calling themselves liberals and start calling themselves socialists, anarchists, communists, or some other variant of real leftist.
đŻ with you here. Fuck McConnell. Some people do deserve to die for all the horrible things theyâve done to their fellow man. Heâs one of them. Limbaugh was another.
Just wish it didnât take 81 years to happen. Heâs lived a long and full life, and thatâs a terrible reward for all the hate and evil and death heâs brought into this world.
Spot on man. I used to call myself a democrat and now i hate (yes actually hate) the party with more fiery passion than the Republicans.
it could be the part they play in this farce, the browbeating to vote for them as if itâs my duty to vote for them as a citizen to fight the Rs regardless of the Ds platform. Then they do fuck all and tell me its not that they donât want to, i just donât understand politics to know that they cant.
I prefer the naked hated of the R party. L, frankly. Its frightening, but less paternal, insulting, and demeaning.
I hear you, but I think there is still value in voting D, if only to make the Overton window shift slower.
If the election is close or contested, Dems can pretend their hands are tied and let Rs enact their facist bs. If Dems own the house, theyâll need to do something or come up with some other bullshit excuse not to enact more left leaning policies. In an ideal world thereâd be real consequences to them if they meandered like they usually do.
Itâs not great though, happy to hear your perspective.
Great comment, saving this one!
Well liberal means youâre pro-liberty. Which is a virtue that is up there with freedom and justice, so I donât see liberals going anywhere soon.
That is not what liberal means. Itâs an ideology from the enlightenment based on the emancipation of the individual as being key to the emancipation of society. It has completely failed.
You just described liberty?
relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise
It definately hasnât failed. Not yet, as those things defined still exist.
Not really unsympathetic to the tankies plight, as it is my own, but I think some of you guys are smoking a special kind of Kool aid.
Communism isnât a magical fix for all our problems. Sure more of those ideas should be implemented into our system, universal Healthcare, a more centralized means of production, wealth caps, term limits, etcetera. All great ideas. The only way theyâll happen is with a more unified country. Or war. A long and terrible one that will completely destroy us. Now I know the idea sounds romantic, but I promise you itâs not. Youâre better off coming to the table with your head on straight.
individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise
Where do these things exist? They donât exist much in the USA for example.
Communism isnât a magical fix for all our problems
Its aim is to fix these problems, capitalismâs aim is to make money for a small group of people using liberalism to trick them into helping.
The only way theyâll happen is with a more unified country. Or war. A long and terrible one that will completely destroy us.
The political class are united, they have the countryâs workers fighting over niche issues like gay rights etc while they kill millions around the globe and do whatever it takes to maintain the privilege of a few.
Agreed about Mc Connell.
Where do these things exist? They donât exist much in the USA for example
Iâm sorry what? Freedom of speech? Civil rights act? Freedom of assembly? The right to bare arms? Etcetera?
Its aim is to fix these problems,
How? Through violent revolution with a benevolent authoritarian leader? Seize the means and then humans just stop being corruptible shitheads? Okay buddy
capitalismâs aim is to make money for a small group of people
Capitalism doesnât have an aim. Like communism it will do what you direct it to do. If youâre going to try to revolutionize you might as well fix the system you already have instead of going to war.
using liberalism to trick them into helping
Yeah see this is that kool-aid bullshit you guys must have been smoking in the LateStageCapitalism ban chamber all those years. Liberals OPPOSE these same assholes they are not your enemy you dumb fuck
Liberalism is the political ideology of free markets and capitalism.
Liberalâ shares a root with âlibertyâ and can mean anything from âgenerousâ to âlooseâ to âbroad-minded.â Politically, it means ââa person who believes that government should be active in supporting social and political change.â
Hmkay
When using liberal to refer to liberal parties that believe in liberal democracy then liberal means capital L - Liberalism. I understand that this is the first time youâve actually spoken to people to the left of you but this is extremely basic political ideology 101. Socialists hate liberals, they are our political enemy, we use lib as if it is were slur, and we do not call ourselves liberals. Socialists do not support capitalism, liberals do.
If you have other questions I suggest that rather than arguing with me about it you visit basically any socialist community to see that essentially everyone in any of them will agree with what Iâve just said.
Yes âliberalâ can mean âfreeâ and âbelieves in egalitarianism and a live and let live set of living standards when it comes to peoples personal choicesâ when applied to cultural beliefs. This is not the political meaning. The two have been intentionally conflated by liberals(political) in order to confuse you politically and ensure that your political education and literacy is absolutely garbage.
A communist and being wrong, name a more iconic duo. Have fun forever fighting for a system that will be just as shit and corrupt as capitalism. Humans are shit, they will always corrupt and a system run by smarmy assholes is doomed.
Yeah tankies think liberal is a slur kinda like Republicans do. Weird how itâs just used as some kind of boogieman dogwhistle to rile up their supporters? Not really based in reality as most people who like having rights and freedom are going to be LIBERAL. Which means donât FUCK with our LIBERTIES, BITCH.
This is absolute nonsense.
Humans arenât shit. We have plenty of evidence of how humans behave in different systems and environments. Human behaviour is determined by the system in which you place them. You just hate people.
Being an asshole within capitalism is as natural as coughing in a burning building. If itâs all youâve ever known of course youâre going to think itâs âhuman natureâ, but itâs not.
Oh and going around using misogynist slurs to get your point across doesnât really help the image problem liberals have.
I donât have a choice of who I am empathetic to. Itâs just a core part of my personality.
I agree he is a terrible person. I agree he shouldnât be legislating. I agree he has caused untold suffering. I canât stand the man. He angers me, he infuriates me, and when I hear him I want to beat him senseless.
Iâll still have empathy to him.
and when I hear him I want to beat him senseless
Clearly not. Or you wouldnât have this emotional reaction.
You can let go of this, simply recognise that some people are real monsters and that sometimes those monsters do in fact thoroughly deserve it. The emotional reaction youâre having is, in fact, latent propaganda still living in your bones, put there by having heard it from liberals postering as the âgood peopleâ over and over again by doing this shit.
Nobody has empathy for Mussolini swinging upside down until he died. The institutional propaganda implying you should have empathy for political opponents is just not pushed for him, and so the feeling doesnât exist. Thatâs what this is, a feeling created by institutional propaganda that you absolutely donât need to have for any monsters.
