It's a class war. It always has been. The 1 percenters use their control of the media to keep the poor and middle classes fighting with each other, so that they . . . the rich, can run off with all the f*cking money.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 1 points 10 months ago

I'd fuck them all because I don't judge.

Ah yeah, an enlightened centrist meme, coming directly from the deranged minds that think trying to take the middle road when one the sides is blatantly against human rights is a moderate position.

Calling out Capitalists as the greatest evil, isnt the centerist take you think it is....

This is obviously a leftist meme making fun of liberal and conservative fighting. It's from the perspective of someone to the left of liberals, not between liberals and conservatives.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That makes more sense. I was wondering why they were both saying the same thing when typically you'd expect liberals and conservatives to be arguing. Those to the left of liberals see everyone as "liberal," as in free markets and whatever, not political left/right, or at least the hexbear folks do.

Took me a bit longer than I'd like to admit to get what they were going on about when everyone was called liberal lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Nah that's common to leftism in general.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

They're both saying the same thing because their pants are full of crap

This reads to me like a fairly leftist meme though, just more on the classical Marxist side.

[–] captainlezbian 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It’s one of those memes that I can see from someone who thinks that the democrats are Marxists or from someone who gets really mad when you say that Marxism isn’t the end all be all of communism.

Either way, it comes with the failure to acknowledge that the culture war is one group trying to exist and the other being convinced to hurt them by the capitalist class.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Its from the perspective of the ruling class. It is their point of view being portrayed, not my own.

[–] ultranaut 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Where are you getting "Democrats are Marxists" from the image?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Nowhere... That's the fucking point lmao

[–] SkyezOpen 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's not incorrect though. If we're worried about the erosion of human rights, it distracts from the fact that corps own our government. Not that that means we shouldn't fight the erosion of human rights as well. That's the brain dead centrist take.

The problem is where you draw the line. It's a fucking shame to democrats that Nancy "insider trading is OK when I do it" Pelosi is still politically relevant, but what are we gonna do when the alternate choice is a fascist?

Oh I'll still be voting for the lesser of 2 evils dont get me wrong, i dont fuck with lemmygrad.ml at all anymore because they have deleted multiple comments ive made arguing for the necessity of voting for the lesser of 2 evils to protect the Prolitariat long enough for class conciousness to grow in America.

[–] SkyezOpen 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The genocide denial/celebration didn't turn you off of grad first?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Didnt see any genocide denial or celebration.

Maybe redrawn where purple hair is trying to get at the rich guy, and Red Hat is getting in the way

Well, the rich seems to like the stuff the batshit insane right are spewing. Plus, they also benefit from those policies, like abortion bans, child labor law regressions, and of course tax cuts for those earning 6 figures at minimum.

America’s “left” is also not fighting these insane policies effectively. It’s like they’re pointing fingers at the GOP and going “Hey, that’s bad.”

But it’s never gonna get any better, it’ll only get worse from here - be happy with what you got.

From the left perspective in the US it's basically the Democrats who are the "enlightened centrist" position, if not center-right, because they think capitalism is redeemable if it has the right branding etc, and success in the system is at least in theory available to everyone. The right faction are more honest in how they embrace and take joy in how this system runs on exploitation, and are obviously more dangerous in the current climate. The Democrats have to be dishonest because they have to take an inherently exploitative economic arrangement and give it a positive spin.

This is unrealistic, they would never sympathize with us by using the word poor bastards.

He's just pointing out that they're broke.

Trying to oppress minorities harder is actively a part of class war though. This is like, marxism 101

[–] Rachelhazideas 5 points 10 months ago (6 children)

Minimizing human rights issues to further the cause for socioeconomic ones doesn't make you an enlightened anticapitalist, it makes you ideologically pro-CCP.
