uneasy anime battle music plays Lightning crackles around AOC as she writes an epic blue sky post and closes her laptop.
She goes to work the next day and lets a group of the most evil Amerikkkans be racist against the only Muslim and Palestinian women in congress.
Later in the Rotunda…
uneasy anime battle music plays AOC locks eyes with Loren Bobert and and squints as they face off.
“You’re so fucking lucky that you didn’t hurt my friends.”
waow, just woke up, crazy we have oligarchs
Seriously, wtf is she going to do? Shame the fascists while every now and then voting for their legislation to oppress minorities for political points
Liberals fucking love the concept of ‘Nazis’ because the imagery is so culturally specific that you can narrow it down to a group that basically doesn’t exist whenever it suits you.
Genocidal enthnostate of Israel? Well it’s Jewish so they can’t be Nazis, that’s silly.
Far right parties with fascist pasts? Well they’re part of the democratic system so they can’t be Nazis Nazis.
Explicitly racist, dehumanising border camps and agencies? They’re not camps, just temporary detention centres, and it’s a law enforcement department, they’re not Nazis.
Extreme right and fascist groups abroad, opposing enemy governments, using fascist militia tactics? Well some of the insignia is unfortunate, and obviously once a new free state is established we’ll definitely support the more moderate parties, but yes they make up part of the resistance to authoritarianism (which is worse) and you have to understand the nuanced local cultural history, so yes, they might get some weapons and support. But it’s not like they’re Nazi Nazis.
The Nazis only really existed between 1920 and 1945 anyway.
I was thinking about this a few days ago, except about the dystopian genre. Liberals have to exaggerate what evil looks like because they can’t recognize evil as it presents itself in the real world. And it has the reverse effect of actually making people think that if someone isn’t literally a Nazi then they can’t be antisemitic, or if they aren’t calling minorities slurs then they can’t be racist. 1984 is a particularly bad example of this problem, but I don’t think I’ve read/watched a dystopian story that I cared much for.
Liberals live in a world of euphemisms precisely so they can twist reality to show how they are different from their enemies. THEY have secret police, WE have plain clothes cops, its totally different lmao. They gotta try real hard to look different from nazis and it only fools other libs
The FBI is never described as “secret police,” despite being exactly that.
“And by ‘fight’, I mean ‘oppose at the ballot box’”
but.but but works so well on poor people. why isn’t working on nazis!!??!?!
Why does this cursed emoji exist?
Well, unless they’re Israeli…
Can’t wait for AOC to vote “present” ✊
She just takes breaks from doing so for 4 years at a time.
Antifa cosplaying is the new radlib schtick I’ve seen it in a couple of places now
Unless they’re Israeli or Ukrainian. Only the American ones are worthy of the ire her fingers can conjure as they viciously type away on her phone’s touchscreen.
Is she going to do another photoshoot where she looks wistfully past the fence of a concentration camp?
She’s doing what the anti-fascists asked her to
I’d rather fight nazis til they’re six feet in the ground tbh
Jesus and his self sacrifice was a disaster to poor peoples politics in western civilization
My Christ.
