Act like the president of the United States
It’s like these people have never heard of Shays’s rebellion or the whisky rebellion. This is exactly what American presidents do and it goes further than Shays’s rebellion. Liberals need to learn nationalist myths will not save us.
Doesn’t it bother anyone else how ineffective the left are at making this a big deal?
Biden eats a hamburger weirdly and everybody and their grandmother are screaming how it’s proof he’s senile and incompetent.
Trump invaded two cities and the left use the same 27 year old slogans and insults and barely make any content.
It’s because the left has allowed itself to be absorbed by establishment liberals, who have way too little stock with the people for their words to move anyone. This is the inevitable consequence of progressives regarding liberals as allies rather than slightly more tasteful (and more insidious) enemies.
You sure?
If I was a right wing think tank my first move would be to get the left to identify as very strict categories and then create a bunch of infighting as if they’re little island before I crush them.
The left fails because they don’t act strategically
You sure?
Yes? The Bernie-Trump pipeline is a thing for a reason; when people don’t find solutions on the left they look for them on the right.
The left fails because they don’t act strategically
What strategy could possibly be involved in talking about a thing? What’s happening is plain and simple: The left is talking about the files, about the fascism, about everything, but the right isn’t listening and the center is only listening to the superficial stuff. This isn’t a problem that can be fixed by acting more strategically, only by adopting a better strategy.
It’s also in large part the media. They focused on that shit
Right and we are social media. The left are supposedly a much bigger population. Just by city alone. Did you see how many people drive across the country to stand in streets?
So what is stopping is from surpassing the media and online presence to overwhelm it with a message like they do when Biden blinks weird?
What the fuck are they doing that we can’t figure out.
Why does it seem like nobody else is pissed off at the left for not being able to do what they do?
Is the strategy at this point to wait until the public gets tired of watching the left get their shit kicked in by bullies?
I’ve opened Lemmy today to see if anyone is posting Marc Maron because I fucking know they’re not. I’m here to verify why we can’t engage the public. We’re lazy. All these people posting how they’ll punch a Nazi. But there’s a lot of other places they can intervene before then. But so many on the left are just talk like that while the right are actually about action. It’s maddening.
What the fuck are they doing that we can’t figure out.
Easy to influence the news if you own them.
Yea since journalists are notoriously right wing and everyone listens to traditional news.
I just am so tired of the ideas when it makes no sense in a modern digital age. They might have funding and marketing but supposedly we have numbers. At one point we had a large presence online. We fucking handed it over while whispering ‘I’ll punch a Nazi if I need to’ but we gave Nazis access to every corner of social media.
There’s no anger on the left directed at the left for failing. There’s no anger after one of the biggest fucking failures it has ever seen. Everyone assumes they did good and the reason the right is winning is because X,Y,Z. The left have lost everything because of inherent traits among the left. Without ownership and awareness, there’s so much more to lose.
Just look at Washington. What do you think would happen if Biden did the same in Texas?
The potential is there. The apathy is manufactured. People could, but they can’t. You have to lift them up a bit before they can.
My opinion is we’re passed that point. Most people on the left think they have done everything perfect and the reason the right gained so much is because they’re just big and rich. They’re not aware how they were manipulated in any way. You can’t get through to these people with positive praise. Need to call it like it is. We all fucked up and this decade should be studied as the failure it is and continues to be. It’s one for the history books. It’ll be something that in 10 years it’ll be more obvious to people how they shit the bed.
Whom would people believe if they said that we all fucked up?
Let’s be perfectly clear: This is what it means to “act like the President of the United States”.
Well normally Presidents of the United States invade other countries, it’s the self-invasion that’s unusual here
Not the first time the usa army was sent to fuck over usa citizens. Two notable ones from that list:
In 1877, workers on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad staged a walkout over scheduled wage cuts, provoking a nationwide general strike that paralyzed commerce across the emerging industrial belt of the Midwest and mid-Atlantic states. (…) From Washington, Hayes ordered the Army to break the strike, which it did with overwhelming force
During the early days of the Great Depression, thousands of World War I veterans camped in Washington, D.C., demanding early payment of bonuses owed to them in later years. Hoover, fearing radicalism and facing pressure from the business community, ordered the veterans forcibly removed from several federal buildings they were occupying. Active-duty troops under General Douglas MacArthur exceeded that order, deploying tanks and cavalry, setting the Bonus Army’s camps on fire and routing the protesters.
Not mentioned in that article, but also relevant, Battle of Blair Mountain - usa army sent to stop coal miners’ strike
Presidents of the United States also have a pretty long history of harassing and arresting people for being poor, black or leftist, so really the only strange part is the scale and that it’s coming for mainstream white America.
- He is a traitor
- This has been planned for a while
- Many Democrats are in on it
- We cannot vote our way out of this. They have to be arrested/removed.
