  • Trump’s Endgame Is Surrender. He seems to hope to slip away without Americans noticing the magnitude of this defeat.

  • Why do you think all these bills that would substantively improve peoples lives always fails by just 1 vote, and it's always a different person? Have you ever heard of the rotating villain method? They all figure out what to do and then make the voting look like they were trying so hard but just failed.

    If I had to pick between these two dogshit parties, I would pick D every time, but the party as a whole doesn't give a shit about you, they care about power and wealth. They just happen to have a little better messaging than Republicans. By the way that's most politicians everywhere.

  • So many people (or bots, but especially on reddit) get their panties in a bunch when you say the DNC is not your friend. They are complicit. There are a handful of politicians that caucus with Dems that I really believe are fighting for the little guy, but the party as a whole loves the power/wealth the ruling class is gaining through the fascist takeover.

  • It still has the best niche subs though. Like /r/weeviltime, or any random hobbies, it has the largest community anywhere. Anything remotely about news or politics or anything is dogshit though and I try to stay away from all that (and keep it here).

  • Yes. Please drag the country and the world into complete economic chaos. It's the only way the cult will understand their actions.

    Eh... even then they won't care as long as browns and queers are getting it worse.

    Side note: I made this exact comment on reddit and they removed it and gave me a warning for encouraging violence... Wow that site has gone to complete shit.

  • They get it but it costs more to develop over parking lots. That's it. It cuts into their profit.

  • I'm not sure if I'm more worried about tankies or actual fascists. Probably fascists because they're openly in power and committing the most violence right now, but the fact it's even a thought to compare them is worrying.

  • I think we're headed towards a Troubles type scenario. Like a decade or more of stochastic terrorism, some organized groups, lots of violent suppression by the government, and further corporate capture of the state. I guess that's just the fascist end goal.

  • Trump and co are actively hostile to the US government though. There have been entire books written about how compromised he is. He's the perfect insider threat example: in debt to foreign powers, selfish and looking to make personal money, lies about his dealings, easily temptable with honeypot women (and Epstein girls, fucking sick), no allegiance or any form of duty to country or anything bigger than himself because he's a massive nihilist narcissist.

    Really really scary times for anyone in America.

  • jesus christ

    This regime has caused so much damage to our national security, much of which we won't discover for years or decades. The Russians and Chinese (and literally anyone else) are probably fully infiltrated into our entire system in every aspect. SO fucking incompetent and corrupt.

  • Here's Google's summary of the podcast for anyone too lazy to listen. But you're going to have to read more than 2 sentences so prepare yourself:

    The Behind the Bastards two-part series, "How The Liberal Media Helped Fascism Win," explores how establishment press organizations in the 1920s and 1930s normalized figures like Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. It argues that liberal institutions paved the way for fascists by treating them as legitimate political actors, focusing on order over morality, and failing to sound the alarm until it was too late.

    Key Themes of the Series

    Legitimizing Autocrats: Mainstream newspapers treated early fascist leaders with immense deference, heavily influenced by a fear of working-class uprisings and communism. By focusing on their "ability to restore order," these outlets normalized fascist violence and political subversion.

    Profit and Sensationalism: The U.S. and European press often viewed fascist movements through the lens of sensationalism and entertainment. Publications profited from the dramatic rhetoric and spectacle, prioritizing high readership and ad revenue over journalistic responsibility.

    Both-Sides Rhetoric: The episodes emphasize how "respectable" media outlets consistently attempted to compromise or reason with fascists, mistakenly believing they could be integrated into the existing political framework without destroying liberal democratic norms.

    The "Who Goes Nazi?" Analogy: The series draws heavily from historical sociological frameworks, particularly the classic 1941 essay Who Goes Nazi? by Dorothy Thompson, to highlight how the polite, affluent segments of society often capitulate to or accommodate fascism rather than confront it.
