Shits probably only going to get worse.

Glad to see more and more liberals arming themselves though. Don't be too sure yall won't need it. The right seems hell bent on starting some shit.

I think there was a miscommunication regarding the intended message. Generally "end of a country" is taken to mean "total collapse of governmental order" and that rarely happens peacefully and is accompanied by chaos and death.

The intended message was that Trump winning and empowering right wing terrorists is good, actually, because all of that suffering may someday lead to Kaeser's preferred ideology being in control. So who cares about the gays hanging in the streets, the blacks indentured to the fields. They may someday know the true joy that comes only from the testes of Father Communism.

Please quote where I said that.

Please quote where the end result I assumed was "Trump winning". Cause I nowhere have any wish of that. At most a tiny morbid curiosity how you Americans would react to that situation, but certainly not a wish because fuck no having to suffer another 4 years of him in the news.

I like how the media is still calling Trump supporters like these "trolls" instead of you know, actual terrorists.

What happened between the Weimar Republic and the current German state. Remind me.

lol, y'all don't really think capitalism is a good system to live in, right?

Keasar may have not communicated his point clearly early on, but socialism has been gaining more traction the past decade in the US than it has in a long time. DSA membership is blowing up, we have open socialists in Congress who are lauded for their progressivism in the face of establishment democrats, open socialists filling up city councils and local government positions.

Thank fucking god.

Trump supporters need to have their voting power removed or remove them from the populace entirely. Education and empathy were attempted, but they've failed. I don't see how America can ever progress with these people around.

Put on Last Week Tonight for 6 hours and listen and fucking tell me how people are NOT suffering RIGHT NOW!

Death Penalty: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Can the death penalty be executed humanely? Should we even be implementing it at all?Why are we talking about this on a comedy show?John Oliver tackles the t...
Lead poisoning. Crippling student debts. Police civil forfeitures. The President. Nutritional Supplement corporations. Bribed doctors by medical producers. The WWE. College football. Lotteries that does jackshit to help the states they operate in. Election systems that are lies. The Miss America paegants. Televangelists. Massive food waste and hunger crisis. Auto lending. Compounding Pharmacies. Charter Schools. Private Schools. Stadiums draining money from tax payers to private interests. Predatory Lending. The NRA. The obesity epidemic. The opioid epidemic. Bail Bond Companies. Debt Buyers and collectors. Florida. Government Surveillance. Robocalls. The Corona handling. The poor handling of infrastructure. Filibusters. Mitch McConnel. And just everything else. These are just a goddamn fraction of all the shit I listened to this week and it just keeps going.

How the fuck is America doing!?
How the fuck is the WORLD doing!?
These are all symptoms of fucking capitalism and I want this shit to end! All I want is for fucking people to finally get a chance to live well! My country is suffering too under capitalism! Sweden was supposed to be the fucking welfare state, the humanitarian country of the world, we are talking about peace yet selling weapons to mass murdering dictatorships like Saudi Arabia, we closed our borders when refugees fleeing the very fucking wars we sponsor came to us for safety and refuge, we are loosing our healthcare to privatization, every single year we don't really talk about expanding our welfare or improving it, just "preserving" the ones we got, while more concessions and exemptions are given to the rich and the workers here loose more and are burdened with more work!

I am personally not the fucking solution, but this bullshit sure ain't it either!

So yeah, I am a goddamn Communist, but fuck you comparing me to disgusting Stalinists! Read some fucking literature and get this red scare shit out of your system!
I'm just thinking that you would be better off hoping for the good in people to outlast the bad. I don't know who or what hurt you, but to speak so, it may be an overreach to call to action those here in this country to weaponize a rejection of fascism. Do you truly believe that the next step of my compatriots to be violence, based on what you see over media? I should say, were I in your position looking upon the US I may think the same. How can I explain the nuances of the disporia of this republic, let alone the burden of late-stage capitalism upon the ill in our country?

Please be well, friend.

Ah yes, the socialists who support the Nordic model of Capitalism. So socialists in the sense of how Republicans use the term.

Oh yeah, the Nazi shit, doesn't mean that will be the end result of a societal reform which I was referring to. I really hope not in your case anyway, but if that is what you assume will happen, maybe it's time to look at yourselves as a country.
Have you studied what happens in most, pretty much all failed states?

It's not a beautiful communist revolution.

Thank you for having their back. It did not seem like it would be taken well, but we can see recently that those that fight against oppression are given high voice. We can only support them from our position, and speak against those that would hurt others to gain what little agency they can in this, these hardening times.

why was the white car in both lanes? Why did the truck swerve into him? Why do people drive like this lol

At the start of the video, the white car is behind the bus, and the black truck is on the shoulder. The camera pans away and by the time it returns, the white SUV is straddling its original lane (behind the bus) and the lane to its left when the black truck pushes it further to the left. In other words, it looks like the black truck was forcing the white SUV to the left and then ultimately used physical force to push it out of the lane entirely.

Good Lord, I was clearly just pointing out poor wording that made it seem like those people just gave up and the good ol' USA won't let that happen. I even said in that post I know it wasn't meant that way, but it was a shitty way of that saying it. That's all. Did I hit some kind of American exceptionalism chord here or something? I have no idea what to make of these responses
No, you just took what someone said, reinterpreted it into something you made up in your head and then scolded them over it. It was pointed out and you're now attempting to play it off as if the issue is us by bringing up some exceptionalism mindset that's not really present here. I'm sorry, but that's not cool. I'm sure the poster and others here are anxious enough about the upcoming election without this kind of behavior being flung their way.

In either case, we've probably run the course on this discussion so it's probably best we all just go our separate ways. Cheers.

edit: disputing a made-up narrative someone invented regarding something no one ever said in the first place isn't exceptionalism no matter how many times you regurgitate the phrase.

It's the most pragmatic next step from what we have. Doesn't mean we're not Socialists. What else are we going to do? The DSA has grown considerably, and gaining traction in elections, but it's still an organization with less than 100,000 members. Anything else electorally is self marginalization.

And yes, the guy advocating for our collapse is delusional in thinking we'll become Communist lol. Communists and Socialists are outnumbered probably more than 600/1 by the Fascists :-P

Edit: Socialist in the sense that Republicans use the term would be anyone to the left of Hitler lol.

The problem with societal reform whether for better or worse is the middle period. Like historically whether it's the US, China, Germany, South Africa, India, etc when society has to change it's going to be terrible for a whole bunch of people for a few decades. Even post-Nazism in Germany the transition took decades for the two states to stabilize before uniting again and going through another rough patch when the USSR ended.

I wonder if any undecided voters will decide they don't want to be associated with the crazy people that do this stuff.

Yeah, I'm not for harassing at all, but why the fuck did that white car drive in 2 lanes? Looks like that driver actually caused the accident. Maybe the driver didn't see the truck?
In the beginning it looks like the bus is driving in two lanes trying to get over to the right. The white car was with them trying to follow, it was a staff member

The more footage I see of this whole thing from every conceivable angle (much of which is coming from participants) the more it's making my blood boil.

Please for the love of Jesus Fucking Christ don't let this guy get another four years in the White House.
