      I want to say that these guys would pull an SPD and attack the commies on behalf of the liberals first chance they get, but they aren't even left enough to be the SPD lmao

    This really doesn't look like the "reluctantly" voting for democrats that these anarchists say is their reasoning for voting and shaming 3rd party voters for not doing

      Can you please stop calling Vaushites anarchists.

      Anyone who can't stomach a transitional socialist state on the way to communism but will wholeheartedly campaign for one of the most bloody war criminals who's ever lived to take command of the most dangerous military earth has ever seen isn't an anarchist. They're a capitalist, an imperialist, and at best a liberal.

        why did you just say liberal 3 times?

        They did, totally. There was a posting war sometime back that reclaimed him because the alt right sucks so fucking bad. They still try to use it, even Alex Jones tried to sell stuff with it but he got sued by the actual original artist and had to settle for couple million 15k

          The lawsuit was settled for $15,000 not millions. I would have been psyched if the artist got millions out of it, but it didn't happen. https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/10/18660312/infowars-pepe-the-frog-settlement-copyright-meme-alex-jones

            Oh my bad, I'm dumb. I think he did try to get a lot more, his lawyers worked pro bono and for whatever reason I thought it was a lot more. Thanks

        It started on 4chan before twitch and was used during the 2016 election for trump. But the alt right did basically highjack Pepe during that time. it use to be used for basically self loathing meme and or stuff about depression. It honestly was innocent memes for the most part. The original one being posted was the feelsgoodman meme. Which sucks cause it was good before it got tainted by the alt right :sadness:

          The thing about the pepe meme was it was so widespread and so versatile (and still is to some extent) because a pepe could literally be ANYTHING. The two biggest groups who have held on to the meme are alt-righters and gamers and while there is definitely overlap between the two I would say both their usages/cooption of the meme were simultaneous for the most part.

            Exactly yeah. It got added to the ADL hate symbols list too, which . meant every journalist covering it just flat out said it was bad so people just believed that if they didn't know any better

      It's a long and sad story. The Shah took many political prisoners and tortured them. However, when the revolution started some (don't know if the majority) of leftist group supported the Islamists because they thought it couldn't get worse. How wrong they were...

          Yes, definitely. It's really bad. They didn't solve any of the problems. The oil they saved from British takeover did not help the general public at all. My family is pretty mixed, I have some leftists family and some very religious ones. One of these aunts (not my aunt, but second degree or whatnot) wouldn't even touch my hands. Anyways, for them life is good. They are very rich and own some kind of cookie factory. However, if you're not very religious and not rich life is hard. And has gotten even harder the last 20 years. Fall of my family tries to get out, some did some couldn't. My dad is very sad evertime he returns from travel. I think there isn't one part of life that improved. A cop onces slapped my cousin because her hair was showing under the scarf. Even though her way of wearing it was the norm at the time. Sometimes they just enforce strickter rules for a couple of days. We had a breakdown in a car once and every time we would see a police car, we had to turn off the music because it is forbidden to listen to western music sometimes (most). People barely get by since Trumps new embargos. I think Iran is the only reason I could come up with that is in favor of Iran, because Obama lifted sanctions and it really made a lot of difference for the people there. If you have any specific question feel free to hit me up.

    Yeah let's just use pepe, there are definitely no odious and/or murderous associations with that cartoon that I, Vaush, the one true leftist, could possibly know about.

    This dude sucks so much, virtually all of these left youtubers become increasingly more cringe and liberal the more famous they become and money they make.

      I dunno if I would lump V*ush in with other leftubers though. He's basically Destiny with an anarchist coat of paint.

      they're doing that for every dem candidate this year. I'm getting attack ads for state/local elections where a solid 1/4 of the text is Chinese characters with a gold on red color scheme lol
