    Liberal *slower death cult.

    “Guys guys, lets work for the slow death instead of the fast death.”

    Gives similar vibes to “capitalism is the least bad system”

          Well that’s called necromancy and is generally frowned upon (ofc i get what you mean, avoiding death is the goal)

          They’re not mutually exclusive. I’d argue it’s easier to work on the no death solution under a slow death regime than a fast one. We’ve still got a lot of work to do to get to an ideal solution. Lesser evil solutions ensure slightly more favorable conditions while we do that work.

            But how is liberalism [the slow death cult] going to get us there. Liberalism has been the dominant system for the past 70 years. And I’d say we’re worse off economically then we were in the 60s.

                We could squabble about specifics for a long time. But using a broad definition. Yes, you are absolutely 100% correct. I was thinking with a narrow 20th century defintion.

              8/14 presidents were republican. that’s the majority, for those of you that can’t do math

              And I’d say we’re worse off economically then we were in the 60s.

              doesnt take much for a billionaire-backed asshole to undo decades of progress cough trump

              The wee basic step we should strive for is to make the treatment available to all those suffering from cancer.

              right. so the slow death. the one you were previously criticizing.

              In politics, the first wee basic step we should strive for is not a complete revolution without the support of the masses, but to put in power someone who, if not better, doesn’t ruin more the already tragic and delicate system we have, to give us time to organize better.

              And uhh yeah we kinda failed at that

                  Offer arrives from global council of oligarchs tomorrow:

                  Kill all landlords, landback by the end of the month, cops are allowed only two pieces of kit¹, but we keep gig apps cops and for-profit healthcare for at least another decade. No struggle no tear gas no death.

                  I’d take that deal.

                  ¹pants bullets radio and a car each count for one.

                  the slow death is accepting that the treatment should go to those who can afford it.

                  and how does that relate to politics, especially seeing as you are actively sabotaging the party that wants medicare/medicaid

                without the support of the masses

                Good thing clinton and harris had all that support of the masses, love how they managed to get all that support from the masses. Im glad me not voting for them didn’t matter, because ‘the masses’ supported them so much!

                    I actually voted for delacruz, and maybe if you fucking liberals had fallen in line and stuck with your natural electoral allies when your literally senile candidate shit himself and asked where he was during a debate, we wouldnt have fascism right now.

                    But, no, you people couldnt fucking compromise. A vote for the divisive harris was a vote for trump, you knew it, you knew she couldnt win, but you refused to stand with your allies. So here the fuck we are.

                    Start making your community independent of the government, report to your local central committee, or shut the hell up and think about what youve done.
