    Anyone using the term “leftist” is a faithful republican. Non republicans don’t think like this.

      Anyone claiming to be to the left of me is secretly to the right of me.

      Nah, you simply don’t know what you are talking about and have never engaged with leftist politics in good faith.

      Mate, we’re not all Americans.

      We’re proud to call ourselves leftists in my country, I’m sorry you’re not.

        o7 to our Irish republican socialist comrades

        Whoop it up for liberty! After Ireland is free, says the patriot who won’t touch socialism, we will protect all classes, and if you won’t pay your rent you will be evicted same as now. But the evicting party, under command of the sheriff, will wear green uniforms and the Harp without the Crown, and the warrant turning you out on the roadside will be stamped with the arms of the Irish Republic. Now, isn’t that worth fighting for?

      Yup. I used too say and think so as never having been supportive of anything republican, but even I can fucking see the obvious and know better now.

      That is a gorram military march.

      But REFORMING the system would cost MONEY! clutches pearls Sure, we’re already hemorrhaging twice as much on the broken status quo, but have you considered that actually fixing things would require spending intentionally? Better to keep wasting billions reactively than invest millions proactively! That’s just basic economics!

      The lemming I recently typed with about the end state of automation was absolutely sure that it’ll be fine, since government needs to appeal to the population

      That government that has never cared about the population.

      Both. This and the OP. Been called neo-liberal because i say “a violent revolution will cause more harm than good” and that one has to talk like a normal person to get votes and not all idiological terminologie. And fascist because i am against china and soviets and all other dictatorships lol

      But then also others i could argue well about how reform and what and how present for elections

    Hey, nice post, but could you please add alternative text? It should describe the meme fully, to help make this community more accessible and inclusive.

    You can find (hopefully helpful) guidelines on that under rule 0.5 in the sidebar ^^

    The problem with leftists is that they are nerds. Many capitalist societies conditions their working class and their manager class to hate nerds.

      Yeah, hating on the smart people usually didn’t turn out well in the past … sooo …

      I actually have nothing because uneducated people wil not know about for example Khmer Rouge and how killing their smart people fucked them over for generations.

      That is why it all starts with a consistent good education for the populace.

    Yeah, this is the way - see the working class like idiotic children while patting ourselves on the back for our amazing and utterly irrelevant circlejerking super-powers.

    What could possibly go wrong?
