sincerity is important here - when I see Gavin Newsom talk about how much Republicans suck, I don't think he actually believes it, I think he's playing a game will Ossoff do everything that needs to be done to impose consequences on these people? I don't know but I do believe he hates them

Ossoff is one of the very few people adequately channeling Evelyn Normielib these days the base doesn't want to hear entreaties to our better natures, they don't want to go high while the other side goes low, they want someone to come on the TV and go "these people are garbage" he's good at it

Yeah man I think it's weird we're doing a livestream execution of a disabled man, and if your reflexive reaction to this is to roll your eyes and mutter about how libs are being racist, you are nothing more than a termite eating the floorboards of opposition

When this group of goons is ousted, and I do think they will be, there is going to be tremendous media noise about finding common ground and coming together. Absolutely not. I will not forget the people who helped hammer at the foundations of civil society and helped imprison and kill my neighbors.

I know some people just want to cast the United States as ontologically, irreparably evil, but there's something to the idea of framing political movements through the lens of "we're just trying to live up to our stated ideals" *That* resonates with people broadly

There's a strain of leftist thought that basically acts as if an authoritarian regime can do no wrong as long as it isn't white people in charge, and this is bad in so many ways that should be obvious from alienating voters here to whitewashing atrocities abroad

Imagine how ridiculous it would be to say “um actually liberal people used to die of measles all the time, this is who we’ve always been” I’m not ignoring anything, we had already fought and won this particular battle, that we regressed to needing to fight it again is in fact pretty damn novel

Yea it is in fact noteworthy that the regime is trying to undo the good work of civilization and resurrect horrors we threw off a century ago, pretending that this isn’t a radical change to the status quo is just “I can’t wait for society to collapse so MY utopia can rise from the ashes”

South Korea is now a democracy and not, let's say, a hybrid authoritarian regime thanks to the blood and efforts of its people. And I'm not only talking about Yoon. 1988, the anti-junta protests and movement. Which is why it pisses me off when tankies reduce the ROK to "fash capitalist dystopia".

it is not the continent’s fault that some of the most repressive regimes today are located there it is also the continent of some of the freest countries in the world, like taiwan, japan, and south korea. we should all aspire to be more like the korean protesters who broke up the 2024 self-coup

This braindead fascist cargo cult assumes most Americans are as sadistic as them when really the vast majority no longer have any stomach for Real Violence. They're so embarrassed of not getting to be their Eurofash comrades that they're forgetting the structures they have to obscure their excesses

In the past, these activities had the tacit approval of the silent majority of white Protestants. What is unique is the top-down nature of this administration. Your smug cynicism blinds you to the fact that unlike the past WHITE PROTESTANTS ARE BEING FORCED TO FACE THEIR COMPLICITY TO BRUTALITY.

If there's one thing I hate almost as much as disinformation "for the cause" it's being willfully obtuse just to get a fucking dunk off. The cynical "nah we've always been like this" ignores the fact that things HAVE changed in tone. The fash are mask off in a way they weren't before. We can use it.

And frankly, while not the most delicately put, "this is something North Korea would do" is very fucking clearly not about them being Korean but about the hollow authoritarian pageantry and plain denial of reality at the expense of the people that the DPRK has become rightly synonymous with.

As someone that knows history, I get seriously annoyed at those "what are we a bunch of ASIANS/BROWN PEOPLE?!" because it's willfully obtuse and we both know it. "We conceived of ourselves as better than our nominal enemies" is step one of escaping the propaganda bubble. Don't make them feel stupid.

Sorry but no, it is in fact notable that the US is doing something only very extremist regimes do. To willingly abandon “this isn’t who we are” as a response is to throw away a very powerful rhetorical weapon.

Ive been drinking to celebrate but yea fuck it. This feels so good to see Jackson AES and Ossoff treat their Republican opponents with the respect they deserve which is none. Collins is a miserable c-word, the other Collins is a klansman, and Rogers is a overrated bigot.
