Yeah like America, a country which pretends to be democratic but is actually a dictatorship of the bourgeois. I’m glad we’re on the same page.
Authority lets people justify anything~

Rich people are really struggling with the whole “act normal” thing as of late. Thanks, smartphones.

Imagine, if you will, a pulled pork sandwich… except someone then un-pulled the pork back into an imitation of a rack of ribs.

It’s difficult to get someone to reject something they’re actively profiting from, and the west profited from the abuses of capital for decades. That’s only slowly changing…
I still don’t know what a Riblet is.
Hmm, I have another take on it.
Nobody wants to think they were “lied to”, even if it’s true. Westerners default to thinking of themselves as the main character of the story, and swallowing the idea of having been fooled is difficult, nearly impossible. You can’t be a victim, can you? That doesn’t fit the narrative arc at all.
Come at it from the other angle. Even those people deep in the shit pit of reaction can still FEEL when an atrocity is wrong, even if they twist it into blaming it on minorities or whatever. The right wing runs entirely on feeling, it’s literally all they have. The other side of their knife is taking blame away from the self- it’s never their own fault, and they never have to sacrifice anything. The other edge of their knife is the dulling and nullification of feeling.
When someone you know- someone shamelessly liberal- agrees with you that an atrocity is indeed wrong, embrace them and build on it. Not “No, but”, but instead “Yes, and”! They’re feeling something, and the people profiting from their suffering would prefer if they dull that feeling. Instead, link the feeling to facts- “Here is why the bad thing is indeed bad”- and turn that feeling into praxis- “You can fix it!”.

3·2 years agoI think this is that debate tactic where we’re actually talking to the audience through the fourth wall? This is for the fence-sitters, if any still exist.
Black supremacists are something we can joke about because they don’t hold power the way white supremacists do. I’m never sure how to feel about this kind of stuff.
Yes, of course one of the largest countries on the face of the earth fighting a country right next door to them is not the same kind of opponent as an impoverished nation being bullied by imperialists.

Transformation? She was always that way, working within the system doesn’t work when the system was built to stop you in the first place.
