It is hilarious that liberals have actually appropriated the rhetoric that saying “actually, both sides are wrong” ends up favouring the “evil” side, but they continue to apply this maxim to the USSR and Nazi Germany. An inability to realize that what makes this maxim ridiculous, in the latter case, is that, in fact, it was the Soviet Union that ended fascist barbarism, while the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are two cogs in the same bellicose, anti-democratic, imperialist machine. As long as the choice is reduced to “blue vs. red” (a fake contradiction), the freedom of the human race will remain, at best, a distant dream.

But perhaps what irritates me the most is the overly pedantic use of Jim and Pam memes.

    i started being skeptical with libs when i studied revolutionary politics and suddenly became a propagandist russian bot or whatever. “everything i disagree with is propaganda” is such a bad take

    i guess those people must be really comfortable with the current status quo.
