evan is good, folks. they've been in leftist/anarchist circles for a long time.
from /u/culdrought yesterday:
I think she’s saying this in response to libs calling for more funding for Police/FBI to monitor domestic terrorists

You’ll hear self-avowed progressives call for things like more funding for the FBI to “monitor domestic extremist groups.” In their imagination this will be used to target Proud Boys etc. In reality it will just deepen the surveillance state that harms Black & brown communities

IMPORTANT: In the coming weeks expect Democrats to push respond to this moment by pushing for: -more surveillance -more policing -more Internet censorship
This is the exact opposite of what we need to do. We need to address this problem at its root: systemic racism & injustice
that's clearly what she's saying, but the Paradox fandom on here can't help but read it as a criticism of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat or Actually Existing Socialism or something else from one of those games.

you know these terms exist outside of video games, right?
Yeah, like seriously what do paradox games have to do with this? I initially interpreted this as an anti ML thing too, and I would have definitely seen it as that just 2 days ago, but within the context of the current situation is does make sense. Still I don’t see how Marxism-Leninism is linked to paradox games?
No, I did not know that. That is completely new information to me. I was not making some kind of joke or humorous point. Thanks for your reply.
I dunked on this yesterday but apparently they were responding to libs calling for a stronger police/armed forces response to the chud coup
I can see what she's getting at then but the phrasing is pretty much asking for people to be like "is WWII a joke to you?" Really shows how poorly that history, and the general phenomenon of fascism, is taught to people in the US.
Yeah I was like “hmm shame there’s no real world counter examples.” Lol
Yep, Political discourse is heavily stunted by the (intentionally) poor education and also American’s propensity to just change the meaning of words on a whim.
Uh... I mean that is more correct than the point I thought she was making but it's also inherently obvious. Strengthening a capitalist police state which has already been co-opted by an out and out fascist to own the fascists is obv not the play lol. But like you said, I guess we're not the intended audience.
Went through the same process, just relaying info that people more acquainted with her told me. Tbh I’d never heard of her before.
But yeah I’m assuming she’s talking to the “the law is sacred and just guys” lib crowd from what i could glean.
let's grant new powers and a wider scope to the FBI and the cops to defeat this Domestic Terrorist threat :) I'm a leftist btw :)

Same shit with any social issue that the twitter types want to be "normalized"
"put your pronouns in your bio put your pronouns in your bio put your pronouns in your bio"
like if you want to normalized it you can get off your high horse and put it in your bio and lead by example. Same shit for mental health and most slackivist issues
