I wanted to award you for this comment but I had no coins lol.

Ok, wow, you just checks notes won the internet for today!! Take my updoot and leave anon!!

Yes, I support the largest most evil murderous genocidal regime that exists, and yes, I'm a leftist. We exist.

There's no way you can be a communist and love America. If you do, you either don't understand communism or you don't understand America.

I'm actually convinced that the smarter patsocs believe this, and they're lying to the rubes to recruit reactionaries to the cause.

Liberals when they meet Hitler: "He's definatly a leftist."

no steppy flag

You know which animal is immune to rattlesnake venom and eats them for lunch?

Is it really that hard for people to say “the dude’s politics are incoherent, contradictory, and clearly not thought out”? Not every variant from boilerplate politics is a sign of nuanced ideology, sometimes it’s just a mess.

I would only "believe in my country" if it was communist.

look just enjoy the music and don't worry about the band member's politics. or don't! i don't care, just don't try and rationalize it like this

most americans do not have a coherent politics because we are, as a people, very ignorant

It's a jersey thing. Ayyyeeee

I have a recurring mental anguish between wanting to branch out and think for myself and seeing the product of people who aren't tempered by theory. You can't fight well without pressure testing/sparring. If you don't read Marx you're going to have a don't tread on me flag and say it's chill.

The one good thing the germans did was sack rome.

Maybe I'd be willing to let appropriating the no steppy flag if it means meeting people where they're at and then eventually discarding it when the euphemism is not needed, but do they not realize that the USSR was Russia rebuilt from the ground up? Even if I waved a magic wand and the US became leagues more redeemable, that's just what needs to be done.

I see the same talking points on r/liberalgunowners

Some white guy will post shit like “GUYS! We NEED to take back our flag! We can’t let the right wing co opt it!”

And some black guy will reply with “No. I don’t think I’ll do that. I don’t like what it represents and I don’t like the people who are obsessed with it”

And the white guy will respond with “I understand where you’re coming from. You’re valid. I’m a leftist and I’m not a big fan of America either. The police and white supremacists proudly wave the flag while oppressing your people. But you have to understand that we’re in this together, and it’s OUR flag. We can’t let them have it”

It’s the funniest shit ever. It’s incredible how there’s a small minority of liberal gun owners in the US, and they’re 98% as big of domesticated losers as conservative gun owners.

"Not everyone has to fit into a neat little box"

My homie in christ, the box fits itself around YOU. The box of ideology.
