then so be it
Storming the capitol building, trying to assassinate the president, and successfully killing a capitalist….
Vaguely right wing schizos and boomers are doing leftism better than the leftists
@philthatremains The ‘no good guys��� stance is at least morally defensible.
The people pushing the narrative that sunni syrians are barbarians and need to be oppressed by a fascist dictator or else they’ll genocide everyone else are sick tho
oh noe we lost our BASTE STRONGMAN FASCIST DICTATOR who protects heckin minorities and sells meth, without him standing in the way, sunnis are going to immediately rise up and genocide 6 billion christianorinos, what have you people done?!!
@OfficialCWATSON I don’t disagree. I do think it is notable though that many become socialists thinking they can keep their liberal values, but at some point, the logic of their ideology forces them to abandon those values.
