Here’s the problem: the one with the purple hair wants civil rights and safety, and the one with the red hat wants to punch the one with the purple hair repeatedly. Can’t really compromise like that. Need to fight red hat and billionaire at the same time, which is bullshit.
Also, the one with the red hat is probably fine with the billionaires.
Certainly, he’s just one good idea away from being one himself!
There’s also a good chance that one or both is a troll online.
this meme is dumb and short-sighted and the commenters are right.
it isnt a culture war conservatives are inciting, it is a war on civil rights.
In much of the public’s eye, it is a culture war. That’s what determined their vote and support.
The whole point of eroding civil rights is to help billionaires.
Always has been.
The public gets things wrong, that’s why it’s important to set the record straight rather than serve up pablum.
“The whole point of eroding civil rights is to help billionaires…”
claiming an absolute regarding complex and differentiated issues is how you know something is pablum.
The long-term conservative judicial and legislative campaign the meme incorrectly refers to has a lot to do with race and religion, for example.
“Always has been”.
this is just a line from a short-sighted meme that is often incorrectly used, including here by you. it’s a fun phrase that means nothing, it’s confetti stuck in your sock.
Much of the public also voted for trump. I’m not so sure we should be thinking very highly of much of the public’s eye.
The American public voted for Trump, but the whole trans rights argument is a more of a world issue.
It’s not a culture war if they make policy based on it. Can’t really be shouting from the fence at the migrants being detained, put in camps and deported or the women being denied abortions or the trans people being arrested for having to pee that the culture war is a distraction and if they only looked at it from a class perspective everything would be fine.
I mean, you can, but after a while it starts to suspiciously just seem like you actually agree with the fascists and the anarchocapitalists on the issues, or at least that you’re just as willing to use attackig marginalized scapegoats for your own political gain.
They’re enforcing their version of culture, a very white conservative one. “Culture war” doesn’t mean completely unserious, the consequences are very real.
It is a distraction from the root cause, they have people voting against their own self interest to make minorities suffer rather than demand better working and living conditions. It’s redirected anger wielded for their gains.

This is why labor unions really started to fail in the 60s and 70s. The union guys valued race far more than class and the powers of unions diminished.
They have been doing it well before reconstruction. Once upon a time there wasn’t that much racism in the US, but after Bacon’s rebellion the elites realized that whites and blacks were working together and have since then been pitting them against one another.
Many that fight for civic rights, also fight the class war, protesting for both
Civil rights are actually a good platform to spread social awareness
It’s hypocritical republicans who LOUDLY incite and stoke any of the culture wars you refer to. Anyone with half a brain can see that since at least two decades ago.
Yet another reason in a very long list as to why both parties are NOT the same. But that ship has sailed, I have lost all faith in the american electorate. Stubbornly ignorant, utterly misguided voters allowed the noisy felons back in, and they will NOT give up power on good faith. All while global warming continues to ramp up. It’s too fucking late.
They also got you posting the truth on a shitpost sub
OPs political views and opinions are apparently shotposting worth
Check out the most recent Red flag radio podcast episode with April, a tran activist for Rainbow Rights. They discuss how social justice is connected to economic justice, how it’s all tied up in the class earlier against capitalism.
Its not the same. Those dumb MAGA animals are actively on the side of the rich. Don’t compare us to those fucking people.
See, it works
It works because you can’t squeeze water out of a rock. These meme implies that we can, as if we can recruit them onto our side.
The meme also implies that getting along still keeps you locked in. Yet how else could we achieve a better society.
I don’t know. I had always thought the internet would bring us together and shit like this would be a thing of the past. They best I got right now is to make voting mandatory
The internet has created the opportunity to come together but the internet doesn’t do the talking.
Yeah? How mad do you get over pronouns?
Honestly, I feel like getting rid of gendered pronouns is kind of woke. But unlike conservatives I understand what a pronoun is.
Well when the red hats are fighting for the oligarchs it’s not quite the same is it
They both want to distract us, cuz if we actually work together we’d overthrow thfm
Maybe, but one side of the culture includes them. And Luigi was only the start.
