This is the epitome of rage bait. They are trying to sow chaos in Minneapolis to distract from a whole lot of trump not looking good, the epstein files never being released (broke law) and his polls being abysmal.
An interesting thing to note before people get upset: this is literally one dude with a megaphone while Good's vigil had thousands.
In a million years I couldn't come up with a more poetic representation of USA's political atmosphere: one angry white guy with a microphone and a wall of bulletproof vests against thousands of people unified in the cold dark night.
It's crazy that the line between good and evil is getting comically obvious: the David vs the Goliath, the weak vs the strong, the murdered vs the murdurers, the (bulk) of the people vs the elite.
And yet so many are still blind to it.
We didn’t cancel the 1864 presidential elections during the civil war so let that sink in what it means if he attempts to cancel any elections. He doesn’t have any jurisdiction over elections anyways but still.
You mean Marshall law? Lol.
It's Slim Shady law now.
LOL. The orange misspelled Marshall a few times before on tweeter.
I hope you can keep the same spirit when they come for you, bud.
Thank you for your service.
Who is that impossibly serene icon in green? My blood pressure would be through the roof and here she is just calmly sabotaging him in the most peaceful way.
This douche definitely has my blood boiling. Fascist pigs!
That's how they get you!
A little bitch with a megaphone is still a little bitch.
Little mutt is yapping because he has a bunch of pigs backing him.
Keep trolling, jr. The last thing you ever want is for peaceful people to cross their line.
Demons run when a good man goes to war.
Fuckoff but that's good! Is it a quote or thine own wordsmithery?
Ah! Found it! Steven Moffat! Well played, sir!
likea yorkie , pomeranian.
Soooooo...any chance this turd works somewhere?
He might have gotten promoted…
probably getting on the fox news or a right wing organization grifting circuit.
The only good nazi is a dead nazi. Just saying.
Someone knows this guy's name. And someone knows this guy's address. And someone should ask him a few questions on video when he's not surrounded by the Gestapo.
I wonder how tough he'd be if that were to happen...
Or could they maybe just straight up beat him until his legs never work again, maybe take his kneecaps away?
Hey, I'm not ;-);-) suggesting violence, I'm just asking questions to see if it is possible...
"If he were in heaven, he would not trouble me so" to roughly paraphrase a critic of George Washington
Half of those sentences are straight out of QAnon lore.
All bark and no bite, for sure.
hes like a barking chihuahua , only does it when he feels safe.
Okay chat, where does this guy work?
5 Lemmybucks say he vibecodes his own financial tools.
Work??? LMAO Doubt
I mean, it's on the video
This guy behaves and dresses the same sort of way I would expect an agent provocateur to. He would be so out of place in a MAGA crowd that they would be laughing at him. Except for the hat, he actively made a choice to dress up like Snidely Whiplash and to go and try to provoke people.
an agitator, probably being paid to be there.
Paid agitator.
We're watching live the Inevitable fall of the house of cards, no external force needed, as every single empire since the recorded history, always from the inside, the rotten core will always collapse on it self
This dude just won the prize for most punchable face since Richard Spencer got his comeuppance.
isn't this the guy who recitet some Hitler speech (in English) some years ago in front of his peers?
He does look really familiar. I'm pretty sure he's Kristen Stewart's stunt double.
Come on, make him famous.
Adolf dipshit.
"Activist"
Was the video removed? Getting a source error.
Just checked and still there.
Also, if you click on the mastodon link, it's his vid and it's hosted elsewhere.
Thanks, must be a mobile client issue. Got it from the Mastodon link.
I'd love to see what would happen if the crowd just started laughing at him
Can't... Resist... Stupid... Timeline thing
As a liberal I don't want to be put in the same group as communists.
Pretty sure mega maga man couldn't define either term.
Communist Marxist leninist socialist fascist liberal yadda yadda
They literally don't know anything other than hatred and Christian "love"
Commies don't want to be associated with liberals either, especially neoliberals
Yeah because "Communists" are delusional morons living in a fantasy world. And apparently think people don't deserve such basic freedoms as choosing your line of work.
Apparently they also think conservatives are better than whatever the fuck they think "neoliberals" are.
No they don’t.
I would suggest you to read up about different communist movements.
Because most of them (not all!) are absolutely in favour of giving you more freedom to choose how you labour or whether you labour at all.
“communism” is about as diverse ideologically as the neoliberal-liberal-social democrat spectrum.
But you called yourself a liberal
Neoliberal is different from liberal.
Kinda like how nazi and neonazi are different?
Can always count on you to punch left, even in a thread about fascists.
People who call anyone they don’t deem left enough neoliberals helped bring in this administration.
Anyone with any criticism at all is a trumpist according to people who want to keep sprinting to the right forever.
*anyone with endless criticisms but no solutions.
Says the guy who worships the wing of the party that blocks all solutions. Good work on the public option. Great work on the minimum wage increase.
Only thing your garbage wing of the party doesn't block is the genocide you hold dearer than anything.
You guys are the "protest voters" who brought fascists to power, so...
I voted for harris. You were so unwilling to say no to netanyahu that you didn't care who won.
Nope. You’re wrong.
I guarantee most of those idiots have no idea what that term means. They use it like Republicans use "communist".
Did you support ACA/Obamacare over single payer? You might be a neoliberal.
Do you think student loans should be on income based repayment plans instead of forgiven? You might be a neoliberal.
Do you only favor government intervention in "free markets" when the US invades a sovereign nation or attempts to enforce NAFTA like trade deals? You might be neoliberal.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, please see your doctor today and ask if reading a book is right for you.
Thanks for demonstrating that you, in fact, do not know what "neoliberal" means. This post is truly embarrassing. It's obvious that to you, neoliberal only means "what I disagree with".
Supporting the ACA doesn't make one a neoliberal. The accusation just doesn't make sense and makes it clear "neoliberal" is just a generalized bad word for you.
What do you support? No health care coverage at all? You immature morons act like Obama had an option for universal healthcare when he was barely able to get the ACA through. It made a lot of key changes and expanded coverage to tens of millions.
But that's bad? A marked improvement is worthless because it's not perfect. That's FUCKING STUPID.
Again, no relation to the political/economic theory of neoliberalism.
IBR can be supported for any number of reasons and Biden pushed loan forgiveness.
Nothing about "invading a sovereign nation" is inherent to neoliberalism. Once again, you don't know what you're talking about.
What's the opposition to trade deals?
Nice strawman you set up there. No idea how you got that i dont support Healthcare coverage at all since I support single payer and that was literally the first sentence I wrote.
Keep raging for the machine tho. Im sure it will get you far.
I don’t think that’s true.
It is, in terms of simplistic internet slang "neoliberal" is a generalized insult. It has little to nothing to do with the actual ideology.
Why not? Genuine question. Keep in mind, ML are not communist. Soviet Russia wasn't communist. China and North Korea aren't communist. Communist != authoritarian.
Most social liberals aka progressives and actual communist would agree on most things socially. Which is the important bit. Economics can be debated. As long as we agree on social/personal liberty. I'm okay with debating and defending my ethos on how we should get there.
As someone who is stubbornly clinging to the word "libertarian" despite the unfortunate reality of other people who have co-opted that label, I wonder if we should both just let it go.
It all depends on the context in which it's used. In mixed company in real life, I likely wouldn't use either term. Simply because of the propaganda misunderstanding it would cause. Some specific contexts like this, though. There's no better way to disarm the fascists than to acknowledge that you are. And that they are using words that they don't know the meaning of. Though in that situation you best be prepared to be factual and come correct in correcting them. Staying cool and on point as they start foaming and melting down like the petulant children they are.
In a generally left friendly space like the fediverse. Why not use the terms if you're going to use them correctly? While there is some of the built-in propaganda bias against them still. People are generally more open to them. The fact is. Whatever terms you choose to use. The authoritarians will come for them too. And if we flee those terms and adopt new language. It doesn't stop the them. It just hampers our efforts to organize and educate. That and the pyrrhic ML downvotes are badges of honor.
Agreed, you can keep the slavery on your side of the line.
Please, god, shut the ever living fuck uuuuuup.
You're here on a communist-dominated platform, so IMHO you are kinda associated with them a little bit at least. But I think it says something good that you're participating in direct action against the social media oligopoly that helped create this mess. Most of us forget that context from time to time, and it can get really hostile because we're all angry about these events.
Actions speak louder than words, and particularly louder than labels. From that video dude's perspective everyone here is in the same boat.
