Holy bootlicking batman. You already had your argument dismantled elsewhere so I won’t do so myself, but what the fuck how delicious does the boot have to be for you to so persistently defend such blatant cruelty? This is “you don’t know why those IDF soldiers shot children in the head” levels of apologia and you should think deep and hard about why you’re doing this.

We have no idea what actually transpired here, but there’s no viable chain of events that would make it acceptable to evict a 93 years old. Full stop.

Protest doesn’t, direct action does.

These clauses don’t apply to the rich.

Or the middle option: She’s incompetent but this is what the people guiding her want.

I mean depends on execution but giving members even a cursory view of socialist literature and ideas would make it a worthwhile affair. This is the sort of thing that would have real teeth if widely implemented.

I wasn’t expecting much from a literal banker, but what the heck Carney? Just… what?

he also might not be bothering with the billionaire tax because the billionaires would all just fly off Hawaii or Nevada or Jackson Hole or wherever to avoid paying it anyway.

That basically never actually happens. See: New York.

Clearly the meme is referring to rebellions against the interests of the country in question. So since they brought up Ireland: How supportive were the British of the Irish war of independence? What about the IRA during the Troubles? How does France react when its neocolonial empire in Africa is disrupted? Before 2023, what was your average European’s image of Palestinian resistance? What’s the verdict on the Houthi “rebels” again? And so on. With some exceptions, these supposed liberatory ethos are thrown out the window the moment they become inconvenient.

Don’t join the army and don’t be a cop, especially not in 2025. Odds are you’ll be sent to beat up protesters.

The point is that just because there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism doesn’t mean we should drop all pretense of trying, because there are still levels of unethicality.

Background people not smuggies, immersion broken.

Gee, I wonder if there’s a formative event in the early 90s that could’ve had some effect on this. Maybe a decline in quality of life that would make people liable to embrace a rightwing dictator. Perhaps neoliberals could be involved? Nah, no way.

how is this take any different than the u.s. propoganda that would say very similar shit about communism.

It’s true, that’s how it’s different. There’s nothing “complicated” about how Britain installed the Shah in Iran or America helped Saddam wage a war with Iran that killed half a million people. Some things are just fucking evil.

C’mon you can’t bring up Ireland as representative of the West when they’re the OG colony. By that metric the West is anti-Zionist.

High-quality ragebait, upvoted.

As a wise man once said: Things will have to get worse before they get better. The average American will need to suffer a lot more before they’re ready to think about taking their guns to protests, let alone using them.

Please explain to those of us who don’t sp*ak French.

Africa moment.

This is what happens when people from the other side of the world stick their nose where it doesn’t belong.
