Which angle am I supposed to read this from? That Biden's critics are being duplicitous, or that Biden's supporters are being repressive?

Based on OP's post history, it's meant to be against Batman (and Biden) here. Post has the opposite effect though lol

I for real saw it and thought, yes, that is 100% the correct response at this point 😃. I mean I don't think extensive criticism is the same as hitting them in the face, but metaphorically speaking, yes, it sounds good.

When there have been 2-3 extensive discussions on your viewpoint, then okay sure, that's your free speech and we are here for political discussion whether or not I agree with it.

Once it reaches 20 or 30 times and you're still doing it multiple times per day every single day from multiple accounts and totally unresponsive to people pointing out every time objective flaws in it, I think we can start hitting you in the face as soon as you start.

I gotta be honest, I seriously had a lot of support for Batman when I first saw it 🙂.

I mean the whole premise is hilarious. Disagreeing with them is not the same as hitting them in the face, obviously, and of course they're not planning on stopping disagreeing with anyone around them or yelling their viewpoint at people who don't want to hear it. It's the standard conservative tactic of "how DARE you do back to me a lesser version of what I did to you, actually specifically in response to me doing it to you, that's literally oppression so unreasonable and I'm a total victim now and how dare you."

No, no, I've been assured archomrade is just SO far left that they can't help but proudly repeat fascist talking points all day, every day!

Everyone knows the best way for the left to make progress is:

  • Pick the leftmost candidate who has any chance of winning the election and talk shit about them relentlessly
  • Spend 0 energy promoting any other left-helpful causes
  • Claim with no evidence that anyone who does supports that leftmost candidate is making a terrible mistake because that must mean they oppose the idea of any other left-helpful causes, even though (a) that makes no sense and is generally the opposite of how it works (b) they all keep telling you repeatedly that they actually do support left-helpful causes, and generally are very supportive of them whether or not the candidate is involved

This stuff is literally the first thing they teach you in Left School.

Clearly, I’m So Communist Bro that I talk endless shit about the more socialist candidates - ones who support LGBT causes, Unions, environmental regulations, clean energy, consumer friendly financial regulations - HATE THEM and will always say Id NEVER VOTE FOR THEM because they’re not good enough. Meanwhile, not say a single bad word about the fascist party in the US, just keep trying to discourage people from voting for the other party. Specifically, the Democrat candidate is not good a an issue where the Republican would be even worse, so I can’t vote for them despite that they’re way better on everything else. That makes sense, right?

It’s all about the absolutism. Until Communist Jesus descends to earth and magically, instantaneously creates a utopian state of equitable harmony, every single person is a heartless greedy warmongering ratfucker bastard who will never get support.

This makes sense because of books. Look it up!

I Read Some Theory(tm) and now I am ready to oppose to the death every movement to the left of the status quo EXCEPT those which match my policy preferences EXACTLY (or promise to give me really tasty leather boots to lick).

Damn, I think I must've gotten my accreditation from a degree-mill.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

bro, I'm so communist that I repeat fascist ideas with no filter. I'm so leftist, yo!
