Fascism doesn’t have to model reality, just knit together a story that confirms underlying biases of the “middle class” without questioning the system that privileged them, but is failing.

Leftists have the advantage in that we can describe exactly why your material conditions are eroding while we are more productive than ever, but for someone who was privileged under capitalism, its easier to believe the system that privileged them is good and just, its just foreigners and minorities who are exploiting them.

That doesnt really match my experience, every region has a distinct reason they don’t use turn signals; American drivers are too self-centered to signal, Indian drivers don’t use the turn signals because it broke 12 years and 800,000km ago, Vietnamese drivers/riders are too busy on their phones or stretching their legs to use a turn signal (vinfast drivers are just afraid it will drain the battery), South Korean drivers will have already made the turn or merge by the time the light reaches other drivers so they don’t bother.

Every driver in China is like that. The popular consensus seems to be if other drivers know what you plan to do, they will use it against you.

Didnt the Soviets supply their guys with vodka?

100/hour? That might be enough, but we really want wider safety margins, don’t you think?

Wait, did my neighbor spend a year screaming at anybody that tried to tell the guy killing baby after baby that if he doesn’t stop it, someone else is going to come kill 10 babies?

This isn’t a good metaphor. The libs who got us here aren’t the victims.

Learning what they did doesn’t help, the only tool we have to make sure ratfucking isn’t an effective way for conservatives to gain power. When progressives get ratfucked, the republican agenda moves forward no matter if a republican or republican-lite who is happy to work with republicans wins.

Yes, thats the fucking democrats. They knew genocide, sending cops to kick the shit out of the politically engaged young people that make up the core of dem ground game, while calling them antisemitic, that trying to be republicans all lower turnout with the base, they did it anyway, they intend to do it again.

Ok, and when they ratfuck the good option and instead give you republican-lite?

We could have avoided a lot of confusion if you started by clarifying that you think of unhoused people as less than animals.

So why is your ire with the people who don’t trust the guy who refuses to stop killing a baby every day? You get the guy to stop killing a baby every day and you’ll have no issue getting people to trust them over the guy who kills 5.

But its really, really difficult to get people to enthusiastically support the guy who killed a baby every day, and promises to do it again.

It would be trivial if instead of killing babies, they stopped killing babies, then I could say “vote for our guy, the other guy is promising to resume the genocide”, but instead we had dipshits in November of 2022 telling us to vote for more dead babies instead of telling the only alternative to the republicans “what the fuck, are you trying to lose?”

Who are the democrats in this metaphor? Some guy who was stabbing my bleeding neighbor with a different knife after Trump briefly stopped stabbing them?

They are factually genocide supporters, this is the fault of the democratic party.

I pointed out what politicians need to do to get elected, namely improve the material conditions of the people whose votes they want, but other ways too. If you interpret “dems need to not suck shit to earn votes” as telling people not to vote, thats on you.

When did I ever say anything about how I voted?

In any case, my individual vote had no effect at all on the outcome of the election. A change in dem policy and action would have had an effect.

Hi there friend, would you kindly get the heck out of my nightmares?

I’ve had brakelines fail, you press the brake, and it just stays down.

Look back at my posts and point to the thing I said that suggests I want to “let bad people burn down the system and think your perfect ideology will rise from the ashes”.

Because that is the opposite of what I want, or what I expect would happen in America, so I’m confused what words I said that coukd possibly give that impression.

Wikipedia already has a decades operating cost of savings.

What the fuck are you talking about?

It seems like you just made a person up in your head to get mad at.

When have I been silent?

I have been screaming this shit would happen since they ratfucked Bernie in 2016
