Oh man, you'd be surprised how many Latino white supremacists Nazis there are out there.

Context? Like as a threat to AOC or to ICE?

Also, if you have that much clarity of thought you probably should look at getting organized locally. Whatever rage you're feeling; you are not alone.

Yeah. It really doesn't have to be political brain rot anymore.

Maybe it's not in this case...we'll see. But we're going to have cases of complete normies going "nothing left to lose" after their loved ones or friends are taken/killed by ICE.

Imagine finding out your partner/kids were taken from their job/school. You can't. I can't. There is no law or order that matters to people when the "law and order" are the ones doing it.

And at some point, hopefully, we all realize that those people are the sane ones. The people standing by and watching it happen well...

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

I forget who I was listening to or reading that said something like "political doomerism is the last stage of your liberalism before it dies"

Essentially, the point was that as people become radicalized they will learn all of the problems of capitalism and gain class consciousness and then conclude that any action is pointless.

They'll essentially sit at home, talk about activism, but judge both people working within the system as well as people protesting or demanding change from the system. It's a way in which a radicalized class conscious person is held in a state of inaction. Essentially making them useless.

It was a good little one sentence summary of those people. I'll try to remember who said it.

By "left" I'm assuming you mean liberals. "The left" doesn't really have elected politicians. Unless you count Mamdani and he's not even fully elected yet.

Someone's gotta do it eventually. Maybe some radicalized Tesla or SpaceX employee.

Yeah I was gonna say the whistle blowing is searching for videos of the IDF online. They literally make tiktoks of their war crimes set to some awful music track.

Yeah. It's not like you "suddenly" realize you're a Nazi and decide to kill yourself. His brain broke after being a fucking Nazi for so long. Rest in piss.

So, while I agree with the "vote away Fascism" being bull shit I do still think that working class momentum can be built through wins like Mamdani.

While I wouldn't normally sympathize with "MAGAts" I would say especially in this case the people that are being hurt the most our the people I would consider victims of a system of anti-science and anti-education.

We can point the finger at the individuals that choose this (excluding their poor children obviously) but I think it's unfair to point that finger when the vast majority of them are essentially "children" in terms of their education.

I would sooner judge individual well educated liberals that fall victim to "new age heal yourself remedies" than I would the the highschool dropout in the southern state that "doesn't trust the government."

They are both victims to misinformation but one is given significantly less information (and more propaganda) to come to the wrong conclusions.

Idk. I just pitty them more I guess. I just see them as victims to a larger narrative that only benefits the ruling class. I can't really bring myself to place blame on them. Only pitty.

If the blame for measles resurgence can be put on a few idiots. Then, well, society has failed. There is no scenario in which a handful of people can cause that. It is a systemic problem that needs to be reflected on.
