“If the republicans won’t deport Mexican families, I WILL”
Says a lot about their confidence in Trump actually doing the same. Shit is always projection, isn’t it…
Which means Project 2025 was actually a liberal agenda
I read Project 2025 as both a scare tactic and continuation of existing policy. If so, then yeah, it only exists in the media as a whip to get voters to show up for them. There was no material policy opposition.
All the research I’ve done on Project 2025 has led me to the conclusion that it doesn’t exist. Not because people aren’t trying to push these things but because as the policy exists I can’t imagine who benefits from it. Ban social security, medicaid and AFC and all you have are a bunch of pissed off poor and old people. Federally ban abortion and all kinds of maternity benefits, then the situation doesn’t really change, and then some of the shit is just frivilous. A porn ban? A video game ban? There’ll be riots in the streets.
It really is absurd, it’s just “evil for evil’s sake” saturday morning cartoon villainy. I’m sure most republicans want to get rid of basic human rights as much as possible, but they do so because they profit off of it, not because they just like being evil. I guess it is the end result of Marvel movie brain and its consequences.
That’s all I’m getting at. Even the most evil political decisions have some kind of monetary gain behind them, there’s no money in civil unrest.
Biden has always been against abortion, social security and all semblance of state welfare programs, so nothing new there.
I do support the porn and video game ban, though as part of a larger grass-touching program. Any accelerationism that comes out of that is a bonus. ; )
Was the other party gonna give them free healthcare and abolish documentation requirements for immigrants?
Jesus Christ
I know they do this every time but my God is it revolting. And they’re somehow surprised that we don’t vote for their people? We are poles apart
Least racist
userLibs before the election: “We must stop Trump because he will hurt minorities and the marginalised! 😱”
Libs after the election: “Now that Trump won it’s time to hurt minorities and the marginalised! 👹”
“Don’t hate the game, hate the player” or smt
also what the fuck
Wild how it’s a binary choice between doing civility politics and being a Gestapo
It seems like those people want to be racist, they just wait for a convenient excuse and social approval to do it. It’s very telling. Imagine if real Nazis were actually elected, all those libs would be like “Oh you chose the Nazis? Well I’m gonna out-Nazi the Nazis so you get what you voted for!”
Carrot and stick
Must feel cathartic to finally take off the mask
They’ll just direct their anger at the vulnerable and blame the mexicans and black men… you know, because they are the opposite of republicans.
I have seen people trying to organise boycotts against Muslim owned businesses in retaliation for maybe not voting for Harris.
And they want us to believe they are totally the caring non-racist side.
For you brilliant commenters reacting angrily, this doesn’t represent actual views. /r/UnethicalLifeProTips is satire.
Where’s the satire here?
Oh cool! Topped off with some racism!
@Deconceptualist@lemm.ee Very satirical funny racism. You fucking pathetic worm.
I get it, I get the feeling but if we want to think about organizing calling people pathetic worms is not going to help
Drive-by comments from these types are not the ones we’re gonna reach through. I’ve had more luck with my Trump neighbors than these types (made a post a while back and had more progress since then). They’re ignorant, smug and straight up having a meltdown over on Reddit right now; where this is from. It’s full fourth reich over there. Someone defending this is definitely not type to organize with.
I was having a decent conversation with another lib from lemmee; different than this type.
You seem to be both forgetting their perceved stakes, and more importantly you seem to be casting people off over relitivly minor. We dont have the luxury of deciding who we should or should not convert, they entered into the grad, we should work to bring them over rather than drive the wedge farther. I am not sure when the cool and hip thing was to carpet bag anyone who passes by, but thats going to convert noone, thats going to educate no one
Fair enough I suppose. I’ve had quite a few hostile experiences as of recent; my bad for bringing them over. Not sure why you perceive it as a “cool and hip” thing though, I was having a relatively decent conversation, as I said, with another lib. There are some I can stomach, some I can’t. Satirical racism, as a joke, is something I can choose to not associate myself with…better yet, I can get really fucking pissed at it. Same thing with those who defend it; because the whole thing…like the whole post (in unethicallifetips) even if it’s MEANT to be a joke or not is still really fucking gross.
So, I think I can at least get real fucking pissed at that. But understandably, I did have a bit of venom to it. Also. They literally came in being hostile “To the brilliant…”
I do not disagree that it is something that is angering and that you SHOULD be livid about you should. I am mostly worried that we are going to squander what is likely our best chance to organize, this is also a large tendency I have seen of pushing people away.
But what I see happening in the next few months is that we will be able to get blue team liberals after the sting of loss ends some of them will be receptive to new ideas because they will not be fed that everything is good, however we will be unable to do that if we have already alenated them all now. I can also start to see us able to get the red team liberals as trumps miriaculous economy turnaround fails to develop, agian assuming we do not alianate them now
Ok, apparently there are actual hateful idiots in that thread. You didn’t share that part previously. Not too shocking though. That’s why I don’t use reddit.
I shouldn’t be shocked that these have raked thousands of upvotes, but I am.
Ironic Brownshirting is just Brownshirting with less confidence.
I didn’t post it, I’m just explaining what I think the author intended. But I certainly don’t agree with them. I come from an immigrant family that fled the original brownshirts.
Yeah, I understand this post is not reflective of your own views. I’m just pointing out that fascist rhetoric starts our pretty cagey, or by being edgy as a way of testing the water before jumping in. I read through some of those comments and this really isn’t satire, the resentment, anger and blame is authentic. It’s thinly veiled racism, at best.
Ah, thanks. I agree now that I’ve gotten more context.
I was a bit on edge because some jerk tried calling me a racist for suggesting maybe this isn’t the fascism it looks like (sadly, turns out it is). So I thought perhaps you were calling me a brownshirt, which is a particularly nasty insult against people of my origin.
I’m sorry, I could have been more concise. I didn’t mean for that comment to come across as an accusation toward you. I think we’re all pretty fried watching this endless fascist nightmare, and I’ll admit being pretty sensitive about anything that looks like apologia toward this shit, too. It can take some real patience and mental discipline sometimes ; )
Whew. 100% to all that. Cheers and hang in there, friend.
“satire” is when you say out loud your sociopathic thoughts and get epic updoots for it. The posts on ULPT are, as i understand it, humorously unethical means of achieving an objective which is socially acceptable to desire. In this case, the apparently socially acceptable desire is the removal of the minorities who we are deciding to blame for the election result. Note that this is different from the desire to win the election, the election has already passed - this is pure vindictiveness.
The brownshirt already threw out the defense and drive-byed. They’re probably going to self-wank on android making updoot-worthy quirky jokes.
For this brilliant fucking idiot that I’m responding too; satire isn’t planting suggestions into the heads of disgruntled liberals to attack marginalized people even while you do so with your tongue in your cheek.
Eat shit.
In the first place, do they seriously think that the election of Trump will cause a disaster. Donald Trump is less evil in real life compared to the Liberal fake news depiction. At least, Trump could not possible be more evil than the previous presidents in US history. Even is Trump fit his evil depiction in the fake news of metropolitan elites, the check of power and evil villainous schemers in the government ensures that Trump could only direct his evil acts towards the marginalized groups like the Indigenous First Nation people or refugees from wars and repressive governments that Pax Americana supported.
The indication of the rise of Fascist uprising followed the widespread leaks of evidences of unspeakable altrocities like the fake school Holocaust in the European colonies and countries of British diaspora that the European emigrants ignored due to bribery by the disciples of the anti-Christ. Is there any neglected persecution of ethnic minority that will foreshadow horrible events after the election of Donald Trump other than the continued land thief of Indigenous people to create “natural parks” or the continued concentration camps with planned chemical attacks, planned starvation, and planned attacks by white rapists?
unironically quoting a nazi who goes on to massacre a jewish family is peak “scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds”
To me both comments sound ironic, though that may be because I’m still an optimist.
These people never cared about the disadvantaged. It’s all a performative holier-than-though veneer easily broken to reveal the reactionary underneath.
Not even report undocumented people who voted for Trump, report innocent people for the crime of being related to somebody who voted for Trump.
Gotta out-nazi the nazi
It’s the only way to win!
“Outflank them from the right”
