    We are so fucking far past any of these points, if you’re just now realizing these things that all happened god damned months ago at this point then congratulations on being part of the reason we got here, you fucking idiots, it’s worse than you know.

      Calling people who are finally joining the movement “idiots” and “part of the problem” is not exactly the best way to promote unity.

      Were they? Yes. But divisive rhetoric is not really what we need right now.

      What we need is a unified front against fascism.

      If financially conservative Republicans can join hands with literal Nazis, we should be able to accept people who stayed in their ignorance a bit too long.

        Fuck that. Feel free to coddle them, but I’m so fucking done pretending we aren’t past the clathrate trigger of this entire situation. We lost and I’m going to go ahead and blame everyone who held their matches to the gas for starting this fire. Fuck this country and every single piece of shit who refused to pay attention or sat on their hands.

          For every purity test you do the right lovebombs the crap out of those people you deem “unworthy”. One of the greatest reason why many people “leave the left”, and part of the reason why we see the opposite happen in spectacular fashion less often.

            I’m not asking for a fucking purity test, I’m saying fuck you to everybody who enabled this literal obvious fascist bullshit, it didn’t require anything close to perfection out of anyone. All it took was not living with your head up your ass or being too busy loving the smell of your own shit. Fuck everyone who had a hand in enabling this. Feel free to cry about people not coddling these pieces of shit when they’re putting us in camps, you pacifist fucks, that’ll be the perfect stage for all of you to pat yourselves on the backs and jerk each other off about your enlightened awareness.

          Damn, that’s rough.

          I see where you are coming from and hope you find something that inspires hope in the future.

          Best of luck, bro.

              Would seeing a massive wave of Americans standing up to fascism inspire hope in you?

              That is the point I am trying to make.

              If something happens in the USA that inspires hope in someone with your current mindset, we are probably on the right path.

                Even if the US is belatedly on the right path, and “if” is doing some pretty big lifting hear. Without some honest and deep introspection and recognition that they fucked up, these latecomers will fall for the same old shit again and again. Just can’t trust 'em, bro.

                  Neither of us can predict the future.

                  I am choosing to believe that America will change for the better within our life time. Call me what you will, but change never came out of defeatism.

      Democrats encouraging fear of gun rights is the start of the death spiral for LGBTQ people and culture. It’s too late to arm up and protest and fight fascism, because MAGA defends them with their massive quantity of Republican-voting gun owners. We allowed impotent pacifists to control the narrative for too long, and now we are here at this point witnessing modern-day concentration camps.

        What a strange vision of the future, a minority of people using guns to fight off the majority who has the full power of the military.

        We are not talking about Red Dawn either. This military has drones with thermal imaging, UAVs, Satellites, etc. There is no escape or hope.

        Shits gettin fucked up yo so let’s have ourselves a good old murder fantasy.
