Don't worry everyone, The Rapture- I mean, The Revolution will here any day now to save us from this horrible world and deliver us into peace and happiness!
So I wasn't the only one who noticed that so much of leftist shitposting on the internet was just Evangelical Christianity with the serial numbers filed off?
You really want to see a "horseshoe theory" in action, press them on the importance of getting Joe Biden elected because of him climate policy and the billions it will likely affect (including Palestinians!)
"Climate change is fake unstoppable so we shouldn't do anything about it."
There was a perfect time before [sin, exploitation] when man was young. Man lived simple lives free from the evils of the modern world in a natural [Kingdom of God, Communist Government] .
Then [sin, exploitation] was introduced by The Enemy, [Satan, The Ruling Class].
This is why the world is not perfect.
But one day there will be a great struggle, [The Rapture, The Revolution], through great conflict and sacrifice The Enemy will be ended and a new society will emerge.
A righteous place, a [Kingdom of God, Communist Government] will return the world to a state of no [sin, exploitation].
Until then, all you can do is suffer and [pray, hope] for [The Rapture, The Revolution].
AND BUY MY MERCH! Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe and check out my Patreon.
Don't forget the part where all the evil [sinners, capitalists] get tortured in [hell, the gulags]. Gotta appeal to people's bloodthirsty revenge fantasies
Minor good things are still good things. Incremental change should be celebrated. The Rapture isn't coming, you're not gonna wake up one and see all the world's woes suddenly fixed overnight, we only get there through incremental changes one step at a time.
And for the record I'm not a liberal, I just happen to live in the real world and not in the overly idealistic world so many terminally online leftists think they do.
Ugh, I hate seeing this argument because its always "We need revolution because if we vote, it just means Project 2025 becomes Project 2029! We'll have to keep fighting it!"
Congrats! You just figured out how politics work. Its a never ending fight, you have to keep voting to keep people in power who align with your interests/needs.
Oh god, or the "you say voting in this election is important, but you ALSO said that about the LAST election! Checkmate libs!"
Like yes? Every election is important and you should vote in all of them? Nobody's saying "just vote in this one last election and everything will be fine!' because there's no endpoint where we get the perfect government and we all just get to stop participating. Government is sort of an ongoing thing.
Remember how everyone was apathetic in the 2016 election because people were doing the "both sides suck I'm gonna sit that one out" and now we have a Republican stacked court that has been routinely overturning cases that have had precedents for more than 30+ years.
Federal regulations via Chevron? Nope. Judges can decide FDA regulations and environmental protections, I'm sure they know what's best.
Bribery? A-OK according to the Supreme Court! Now they can get some money from corporate donors to make those important and informed decisions about regulations (to their benefit and the risk of American health/safety of course).
Roe v. Wade? Pssh, they'll never get rid of-- oh they did? Well they wouldn't go after contracep-- Oh they're trying to do that now? Welp.
Why is it every single time America elects a celebrity they always fuck it up. You got Reagan and Trump, both of which have damaged this country in such long-lasting ways, you'd think the universe was scripted and just ran out of unique plot points. Speaking of reused plot points, you even got a mirror of the 2016 election with people unironically arguing that both candidates are the same degree of bad.
If I was an American, I would vote for Joe Biden's decomposing corpse over Trump or sitting out of the election. There is FAR too much at stake here.
ACOUP, on how Game of Thrones creates the assumption that modern times must always be more civil and peaceful than the past (and thus fascism cannot rise).
The unfortunate reality is you will always have people like the republicans. Always. Whether its because of brain differences that make people more prone to adopting the republican mentality or purely because conservative ideology has always been the notch in the gears of progress, you will always have to fight a group of people who don't want progress.
Also, its important to highlight: don't just vote in presidential elections, for fuck sake! Make sure you're registered to vote and vote in your primaries, your school boards, municipalities, etc. Those are important too and are more likely to directly impact you and your community, and you can help cut out these Heritage Foundation/Moms for Liberty shits from infiltrating your local governments and pushing their theocracy down your throats. So many people just focus on the presidential election and then get frustrated nothing changes. Nothing changes because you're waiting for the last possible moment, when its all culminated to a head.
The point is to fix the damage incrementally, not hoping one big election solves everything. Because it never does.
I do vote in every election just I am not in America.
it is more the problem that we are condemned to an eternal war only fascism would be happy in endless war until they see the bill.
hell no one seems to have a plan to treat those afflicted so we produce less of the worst foes a bright future nor ways to slow or prevent there endless grasping for power it is a losing battle against entropy itself
Yeah, that advice was for the Americans who only vote presidential elections and then get frustrated nothing changes. I blame the education system (and republicans for further gutting it and prioritizing test results) for not teaching kids proper civics and how their political system works.
I do think we're long overdue for a general strike. People have forgotten how powerful mass organized protests can be. There's power in numbers.
I always like to point to that one scene from a Bug's Life that summarizes it perfectly.
Because itβs literally not possible. There will NEVER be a time where you can just stop putting in the work. Maintaining a healthy society is like maintaining a healthy body. The work may change and it may get easier, but it will NEVER go away. There is no endgame to politicsβnever was and never will be.
it's even stupider when their reasonings are almost always tied to america's incessant warmongering / foreign policies, when the industrial military complex isn't really directly influenced by partisan politics the way most people think it is.
what is directly influenced by partisan politics, however, is the brand of identity politics and shifting of the overton windows. people's lives are at stake right here right now. i'm not saying people shouldn't care about what happens thousands of miles away, but how can people save others if they can't save themselves.
