regulate harshly and with a 50s style tax

Isn’t this argument ‘free-market but with guardrails’ or did I misunderstand?

What do you mean by “personal property”? That monopolistic land ownership is okay so long as it’s individuals not businesses?

Since Nixon vs. Humphrey vs. Wallace back in 1968.

In 2024 pproximately 59.0% of voting age population voted, which is 63.9% of voting eligible population.

2020 was the only year to surpass with 62.8% VAP/65.3% VEP.

3rd place is 2008 with 58.3% 61.6%.

Well yeah, cause the only other way that story could’ve gone was “the OG Black Panthers were right, obviously the good guys and revolution is key” which isn’t a story that you’re allowed to tell.

To be fair, that series pushed that line much more than pretty much anything else I’ve seen on TV, but they did Ekko so dirty.

Daily reminder that’s how deportations have worked in the USA for over a decade.

Liberals cannot actively support it without also confronting the inherent contradictions within liberal ideology.

Thank you, I couldn’t have asked for a better demonstration of this point. A healthcare system that is based on the free market but that is “regulat[ed] harshly and [with] a 50s style tax on the rich” is not universal healthcare!

If you can see the issues with healthcare and can understand why universal healthcare would be a necesarry improvement then how are you still advocating for a free market solution for anything?

That baby died a long time ago, and required required constant human rights violations to keep it alive in the first place. Getting rid of the bathwater won’t bring it back or make it require less cruelty to keep alive.

It’s still shocking to me that people were stupid enough to believe that Jim Crow Joe would be a remedy for fascism in the first place.

It’s doubly shocking to me that you’ve already forgot about Roe v Wade, most deportations in history (even more than now), building and expansion of prisons/cop cities, expanded drone strikes/kidnappings, start of multiple genocides, etc. and then feel entitled enough to be this fucking glib.

You have not been paying attention. If you believe in electoralism then stop punching down and redirect your rage at those who actually have power to change things within that system.

Universal health care is antithetical to both market economies and economic freedom which are both core liberal principles. Liberals cannot actively support it without also confronting the inherent contradictions within liberal ideology.

Unless you’re using the term “liberal” in the US sense of ‘anybody “left” of fascism’ in which case you’re statistically correct, but mostly due to generalization.

What do you think Gitmo(GTMO) and other military black sites are for?

I don’t believe blacks and minorities were ever kidnapped and trafficked to foreign death camps

Historically domestic death camps have been good enough. A prison where people are serving life sentences is a death camp, just a very slow, inefficient one.

Those sent were charged with a crime, but not convincted. The laziness to not even coerce a plea deal as is tradition is the only real deviation from the “status quo”.

I do appreciate that the fascist morons are too stupid to realize that the “inefficiencies” they saw were design features not flaws. Allowing for the whole charade to be exposed without having to argue against each individual part of the kafkaesque machine.

In less than a month, the nazi party have already disappeared 1/3 the total number sent to Gitmo the last 23 years.

Can you provide some more specifics+sources on those numbers so I can also reference them later with more specifics?

Remember_the_tooth is spot on, but also glosses over the 20-21st century transition and the litany of bullshit that led to the modern police state. Jim Crow Joe and the 90s crime bill, Bush Jr.'s coup via Bush V Gore and the subsequent formation of DHS, expansion of black sites via the Iraq war, etc.

or are a registered member of a long dead movement.

Oh, it should be long dead, but it’s not. There is a significant amount of people that legitimately think “Hitler was right”. Those you’re referencing aren’t all Nazis (though some certainly seem to be, or at least are heavily inspired by) they’re fascists.

Using the word “Nazi” instead of “fascist” limits the useful historical comparisons that you can draw from and can have a blinding effect on making important comparisons. I do disagree with Stormdahl about ‘just calling them MAGA’ but I do agree with them that MAGA =/= Nazi just because it’s an explicitly fascist movement.
