American politics truly is "status quo good, facism bad"
Or status quo bad, fascism good. The binary shitshow seems about as bad as their understanding of gender

But you must realize this sign is explicitly telling you they'd rather be at brunch, it's only when their comfort is interrupted that they will move. If your protests interrupt their brunch they will turn on you...
I would hope that what is happening now will open the eyes of some neo-liberals and, assuming the US doesn't start a nuclear war, there will be more people not ok with returning to a status quo of minorities suffering while they are out to brunch.
That all hinges on if we can work together to stop what is happening and survive to rebuild. My point of contention is more with the people who are creating division in a movment that just started picking up steam.
Moreover, deportation to El Salvadorian prisons were happening during the Biden presidency. No one talked about it because they were deporting the "right" people, and the oppressor was wearing blue.
Exactly, we can't even get the country to agree facisim is bad. Kinda happy to settle for incremental steps forwards compared to massive leaps backward.
Who's going to take these incremental steps? It's certainly not the Democrats. And how many people are you willing to throw under the bus while these incremental steps happen?
Libs only know how to be reactionary when it comes to political "resistance". Political tribalism is more important to them than actual conditions. I'm glad to see these people are self identifying so that real radicals know to stear clear of working with them.
Lol you have no fucking clue how many people I've provided relief to from cold hunger and desperation. Or how many lives the harm reduction supplies I've personally distributed have saved. I dare you to walk up to the people in my community talking that shit about the work my comrades and I do.
We're building on a decades long tradition of community self-defense and mutual aid, and you're just out here assuming that - because you can't imagine how a community might be really improved by the actions of a few people - there's no possible way for real people to do real work for their communities.
Be a better person, but also eat my whole ass and GTFO of this community.
Did you really just reply then remove their comment? ... why is it not in the modlog?
Because I didnt do it?
Must've been some other mod then, it just looks rather weird to see that "deleted by moderator" right before you appearing upset
Well sure, but it did create the modern reincarnation of it
The status quo as it stands will always lead to fascism
actually supporting genocide --> bunch time
the previous part but with fascist aesthetics --> funny sign time
Deporting innocent people without due process to a concentration camp = just aesthetics. I guess.
deportation of innocent people is happening and is bad. i just think that someone who would be at brunch if the u.s .was just still supporting genocide is someone that is there because orange man bad.
It's because orange man affects them, too. If orange man didn't affect them, they'd just be at brunch.
There isn't space for a lot of nuance on a sign
I think the message is clear that they only give a fuck if it affects them
faScism
Sorry, that typo makes me crazy.
“Fuck Biden, he needs to step down if they want me to vote!”
Black lady appears
“Ew no, I’ll just let trump win again”
It would seem we have rather different perspectives. What's up with this strongly polarized view of the political landscape?
It's the view that the binary - i.e. two party - system in place in the USA is not good enough.
The slogan on the poster is "if kamala won we'd be at brunch"; which ignores the multitudes of issues that any kamala presidency would have brought. It's not like she said to sanction Israel or to actually help people out of poverty. Instead she is a symbol of the status quo, that which her party represents.
The status quo that f.ex made sure US prison population is the highest worldwide (by population percentage)
The whole post is critizising the polarization, as it has turned the two parties into "good and evil" only depending on which party you support.
