Order must prevail
That’s just an open-faced club Fascism right there
little decorative toothpicks and everything
"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”
60 years ago, MLK called out this shit for what it was.
Vote for me, and we can bring order to the galaxy
(Even Darth Vader promised to end the war, lol)
In today’s news, the Galactic Empire has just passed a law that declares any criticism of the efforts to expand the Empire, crush the Rebellion, and eradicate the Jedi, to be classified as hate speech against force users.
Hitler condemns Warsaw antiwar riots, says ‘Order must prevail’
situations where arguments must be made from ‘law and order’ are inexorably undivorceable from a Hitlerian school of statecraft. outright saying ‘there is no argument against your cause, but you’re not respecting me and you’re making me look weak, so I’ll stamp you out.’
“order must prevail” and “dissent must not lead to disorder” are the kind of comically fascist lines you would expect to find coming from the over the top bad guy in a YA novel
Our society is run by literal Captain Planet villains so YA novel antagonist is kind of a step up.
-we have democracy at home
-democracy at home:
okay I am actually a posting coward and got too much anxiety about the FBI actually killing me for this post so I changed it lol
What did upbears do to you??
Fuck the F.B.I. and fuck all the Army troops
Fighting for what, bitch? Be your own man
You’re braver than I
fuck all the Army troops
Is this Soulja Boy?
fuck all the Army troops
Yeah what about the Navy, Air Force, Space Force huh?
Bringing out the Clintonian classics. Love to see the concept of “order” to justify draconian actions of the state… again.
Also this:
In his remarks Thursday, Biden also criticized “those who rush in to score political points” from the protests, saying that “this isn’t a moment for politics, it’s a moment for clarity.”
WHEN IS IT TIME FOR POLITICS YOU FUCKING MONSTER? God fucking damn it. Genocide isn’t political! Crushing protests isn’t political! Don’t force the president to do politics, it’s not his job!
Also WHAT FUCKING CLARITY.
It’s pretty fucking clear that Isreal is doing a genocide and you’re supporting it. What you are doing is trying as hard as you fucking can to muddy that waters on that incredibly clear subject.
I’m sure the speechwriters are capitalizing on the widely held US view that “politics is all bullshit has nothing to do with me”, hence the “this isn’t the time for politics” line.
Mass organizing your state to systematically kill innocent people isn’t political, sweaty
It’s actually amazing how this naked fascist, this tough on crime fossilized ghoul would be more popular if he just kept his mouth shut.
Where have I heard this “law and order” bit before?dun dun
This is really emblematic of the Democrats full tilt to being the party of the old order after co-opting and shutting down BLM once it was no longer useful to their immediate goals.
I wonder what can give once they completely criminalize dissent? These restored Bourbons are going to make people do stuff like banquet campaigns just to talk about soc dem stuff.
BLM, Me too, Greta thumberg before she became based, I’m sure there are more but that’s all I can think of right now
Malala, basically any LGB(notT) movement after the 2000s.
Trans movements only have a matter of time as well
Did the Dems ever even make a cynical co-op ting of trans rights? On Terf Island our bourgeois liberal parties sure as shit didn’t.
Dems will attempt to rewrite history just like they did with gay marriage and pretend they supported it the whole time.
DOMA? never heard of her
Didn’t think of those at first but, you’re right. BLM was the best example in my mind because of all the protests it drew.
- but unironically, the two are indistinguishable at this point
Death to America
we hear you, and that’s why kent state 2 will be committed by womenHonestly more like Kent State 7 but who can keep count anymore?
It would be nice if liberals could imagine how they’d feel about this if Trump was the guy saying and doing it.
Incredible day for radicalizing well-intentioned but naive “default”-mode young liberals.
Hopefully so. I feel like “but Trump and project 2025”is still effective for a lot of them
Is it? campus protests are spreading all over the country so it’s rapidly getting to the point where a lot of young people at least know people who were at the protests and seeing the Democrats crack down on them looks just as bad as project 2025 (which also the Democrats don’t really bring up that often IRL so many don’t even know what it is.)
That’s true. The only arguments I ever see being made about it and even those of Trump being a Zionist have been online. Outside of that most people have never heard of either.
