Former redditor ready to finally burn that bridge. Sick of the libs always finding excuses to justify making deals with fascists or saying "we should do X" when it's obvious the machine will never allow their fantasy reforms. I'm a fan of dissecting rhetoric and propaganda, with an interest in mental wellness, comparative religion, and consciously examining how we make meaning.

I do my best to live a life without illusions while not becoming disillusioned and try to focus on bringing change over the long term.

Ever notice that cop cars are the same black and white as orcas?

Yet again the fascists must steal because they cannot create. Take it back, my monochrome comrades!

"Both sides need to find peace" which is such a willfully ignorant rejection of the reality of the situation.

It's a marriage of "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor" and "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing."

Si vis pacem, baby.

Liberals don't consider the daily amount of violence required to maintain their current cushy lifestyles. They look at an alternatives and see self-determination and self-defense as violence, yet they eagerly create justifications and defenses for the cancer of capitalism and the daily buckets of blood that sustain it.

One point of leverage that I use is MLK, who libs pay a fair bit of lip service to.

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

No, maybe SocialistRA?

Chum in the water makes it more likely that fish will bite the hooks.

The ruling regime always sterilizes the radical figures it cannot ignore, which is a weakness I try to exploit. Even republicans will quote MLK, so I try to use their lip service against themselves to drop truth bombs. And like you said, it's food for thought. I'm not debating anyone, just stating facts. Just trying to sew seeds where I go.

The Floating Magical Kingdom of Zeal from 12,000 BC in Chrono Trigger. They could achieve almost anything, but their greed, prejudice, and arrogance doomed them to a terrible fate that nearly killed all of humanity.
