His son's name is literally Jack Johnson. His fucking name is Jacking his Johnson. His identity is masturbating.

If this were parody, it would be completely hamfisted. I wonder if Mike Johnson has ever searched for a ham fisting porn category

the bloodshed is invigorating the Lich-King President better than any prescription cocktail ever could

They used to use "lira", like Turkiye does today. It was changed to be more Hebrew in the 80s

They don't expect them go anywhere but 6 feet under the ground

My scientific socialism score is 100%, this definitively confirms that I am the only user of this site who is not a liberal

Chapo had it right when they said that the really poor by and large just don't vote. From liberals' perspective that's the same thing as voting Republican in effect, but they don't reflect on being resented for this snobbish disapproval and political entitlement, which costs them elections.

Excellent post.

This is exactly why, throughout the entire Trump presidency, liberals repeated to themselves, to their family, friends coworkers, to their Twitter followers: THIS IS NOT NORMAL. It was a mantra for 4 years. It perfectly represents their struggle through the cognitive dissonance of reconciling Donald Trump being the "Leader of the Free World" just as much as Barack Obama, Lyndon Johnson, or Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The question they never could answer satisfyingly is "If this is not normal, how did normal lead us here?" Answering this question definitively inevitably leads to socialist critiques and conclusions. Instead they retreated into the elitism of disdain for "populism" and the idiot masses, while simultaneously claiming to defend "democracy" even though they clearly don't like its actual practice and results. Or, they retreated into the paranoia of a foreign conspiracy, since a foreign nation can be irredeemably evil but never our own, while completely overlooking that Trump mostly did as the Blob (as Obama called it) wanted. He was of absolutely no benefit to any supposed backers, even if they really did support him. And it stands to reason that if they could have rigged it successfully the first time, why wouldn't it have worked the second time? It should have only gotten easier to rig things with a puppet in charge than with a meaningfully independent Democrat in charge. All of their answers were and are a mess of contradictions.

I was like you too. Recognizing that this madness was normal and continues to proceed just fine without Trump at its head is exactly what showed me that I am not a liberal. I would have hoped it would have enough for most people. Maybe we need Mecha Hitler III to be elected via Supreme Court decision before most liberals jump ship.

Still holding out on my $1000 bet. I have a feeling he is going to be acquitted, house arrested instead of prison (the agreement was prison), or be reelected and pardon himself. He deserves worse but I don't want justice, I want to stay solvent.

Lookin like a Roald Dahl villain

There's no material benefit to being a leftist in the west

I disagree somewhat. If we're to believe this map posted further up in the thread, any average person who does not live in one of the blue countries would benefit from global communism:

The US, Germany, the Nordics, and most of eastern Europe is a large portion of the West's population.

I think that how this potential benefit is weighed against the real possibility of sacrificing one's life, and potentially entire communities, for a revolutionary cause, instead of simply staying out of trouble and trying to survive, is the more challenging and important issue than a lack of class interest in socialism.

Even in the blue countries, the possibility of living an unalienated life with meaningful control over one's work, community, and society could be more appealing in the abstract for many than simply making more money in a rotten, alienating system. There's more benefit in socialism than simply meeting one's basic needs, as important as that is. The problem for anyone is actually working towards a point where that possibility becomes real. That entails danger and instability.

democracy is when our enlightened country has disdain for the brutish, ignorant majority opinion of the savages against us
