i mean, if youre gonna regurgitate opinions, you can def do worse than 'if someone wants to lynch me thats their problem, if they have the power to lynch me thats my problem. its a question of power, not attitude' and 'we are nonviolent with people that are nonviolent with us' as the bedrock of your ideology
Liberals have no imagination. They cannot imagine a world that isn't just "what if this world got slightly better over a hundred years" and so anything outside that is just insane and unrealistic to them.
This isn't a particularly brilliant insight, but during the inauguration liberals jerked themselves off reading special meanings and finding patterns in the outfits of their favorite female political figures as if they were ladies of the Heian Court in the Tale of Genji, yet When Bernie showed up in a normal jacket and some mittens and it turned into a huge meme, it felt like an assault. But they couldn't talk about why they really felt offended because it would expose how absurdly pretentious and supplicating they were. They had to complain that it was somehow misogynistic for an old man to wear a winter jacket and warm gloves in 30 degree weather, while the women around him were supposedly expected to dress up and perform for the occasion. But the only reason there may have been such an expectation was the fawning attention of liberal asswipes who love seeing Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris both wearing purple for some symbolic reason, while normal people don't give a shit.
:leslie-feinberg: and where did that bring you?

Please let me know if you figure this out right away, very important, thank you 🙏
Just voted for this chad in the Portuguese Presidential Elections. João "the Constitution stays on the nightstand during sex" Ferreira. :panting:
I was divided between him and Marisa, and ended up choosing Marisa despite her describing herself as a socdem (which from what she says she believes in, she's much closer to being a demsoc IMO and the BE is definitely a coalition that has socdems but the large majority is socialist) because I feel the PCP is still a bit "conservative" in relation to things like euthanasia and LGBT rights.
Yeah, going into the campaign I was leaning more Marisa, but João campaign really sold me. Him presenting himself as sorta of Constitutional Originalist (our original constitution is actually good unlike the American one so it actualy makes sense to be one unlike the psychos in the american supreme court lmao) was something that I always felt and thought but never really conceptualized fully.
If we're honest with ourselves both BE and PCP mostly offer programs that are Social Democratic in nature, not really of an Anti-Capitalist Leftist Party and Communist Party.
Yeah I've also always had an image of PCP as more socially conservative party, but a lot of times it feels manufatured and greatly exagerated. Although i do agree they are bit more "conservative" in some topics like bullfighting. But the anti-PCP media campaign that the media was on this year with the 1st of May and Avante stuff really made me look at the way the media has portrayed the party over the years and if its actually warranted. It's still something to be vigilant and critical of the party tho. constant self crit is important.
Unfortunaly no. The Current president will 100% win, 99% chances he wins straight way today without a need for a second round. He's a center right christian conservative, thats a former political pundit and tv commentator and increadibly popular. Theres a chance in the the last 5 years you saw a reddit or twitter post of how "cool" and "normal" he is taking selfies with people or going to the beach. João and the Communist party will most likely get 4th. Behind the current presindent, in 2th the center left candidate Ana Gomes, and the fascist grifter former soccer commentator Andre Ventura in 3rd.
But they did a good campaing in my opinion, And I feel like he was able to reach an electorate beyond the older traditional Communist Party voters. He also presented himself as a Originalist Constitutionalist which is something that i felt they should hammer a lot more because our original Constitution post revolution was really good, before it was stripped of most of its revolutionary notions in the 80s by the revisions but the right and center left. And even after this revisition its still relatively good (advocates for housing, health, education as right of every citizen).
This is a good simple article about the election. and the rise of far-right in Portugal the last 5 years https://jacobinmag.com/2021/01/portugal-elections-rebelo-sousa-chega-ventura
Just went to one of my dealers places to pick up some valium, and there was the usual handful of heroin addicts chilling there, one of them was ranting about Joe Biden, dems stealing the election and the impending mass arrests of all the elite paedophiles etc; Q shit

This was is in Wales, UK lol
currently in a twitch chat and three insufferable dorks are talking about philosophy and i've discovered a whole new hatred for gamers
To any liberals who may be lurking here, go fuck yourself, you'll never be an ally to the working class and your failures will inaugurate a century of fascism and ecological collapse, you are the willing abettors to the deaths of millions
Now that I got that off my chest, how's everybody else been doing? :meow-coffee:
