My favourite one (it happens a lot in the UK and I assume in other places too) is when people say things like “I support the cause but the protest is really disruptive.”
Like no shit, that’s the entire point of a protest. They also sometimes complain about strikes being inconvenient for them. Oh, is this strike illustrating to you why this service is essential and it would be bad if it went away?
One time when I used to be on reddit I had an argument with someone who was against a climate protest because it could have blocked an ambulance and gotten someone killed. But this was after the protest had already happened and that had not occurred. So you don’t support it because of a hypothetical disaster that you just made up, that already didn’t happen? People, man
Got into an argument with a neo-liberal who was happy the rail strikes were over without much going to the workers. I asked them if they felt any worker solidarity and they said no outright. There’s people who just don’t care about you at all as long as they get theirs.
The worst is when they compare the DNC to the rebels, when Lucas himself said the rebels were basically the Viet Cong.
Libs think Trump vs. Harris was like Leia vs Darth Vader when in reality it was more like Darth Vader vs Palpatine.
Bingo.
this seemed too fantastical so i had to look it up and even gemini says so. lol
Yep, he said it on camera. Even said he was jealous of the soviet filmmakers for not being beholden to the profit motive.
George Lucas be like
He def had more liberal tendencies, but at least could recognize material reality.
It’s like that old meme about how Luke is a desert farmer who is given weapons and radicalized by a bearded man in a cave, then goes off to a militia training camp and eventually blows up a government installation.
When Luke joins the rebels against the Empire because his people were murdered.
Liberals: 🥰
When a Palestinian kid joins Hamas against the Empire because his people were murdered.
Liberals: 🤬
When progress and socialism is on the rise, libs will side with the fascists to stop its rise. Even so called moderates are to impede with progress.
Liberalism and fascism are rooted in the same base characteristics, after all.
Indeed. The only real difference is the smile on the face of the liberal as they step on your head as you’re drowning.
How about Easterners? Every foreign rebellion is a fight against pure evil, whereas every domestic rebellion is backed by capitalism?
