“I feel you are both outsiders compared to the rest of DC, and less ‘establishment’,” said one. Another, “both of you push boundaries and force growth”. And: “It’s real simple … Trump and you care for the working class.”

“You are focused on the real issues people care about. Similar to Trump populism in some ways,” said a fourth. Lastly, a respondent said: “You signaled change. Trump signified change. I’ve said lately, Trump sounds more like you.”

Utterly brilliant. Complete geniuses with a firm grasp on current politics. I see why you count these as intellectual kin.

Nothing to see here, just politics as usual, the liberals are just trying to scare everyone. /s

People are dumb as shit.

I think you’re making the take even less credible

Not very. The DoD is aggressively apolitical with regards to domestic politics.

Rotters of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your decay!

Fairy folk - in traditional mythology, fairies and the like aren’t sweet little pixies, they’re very alien fellows who abide by strict-but-seemingly-arbitrary rules. To differentiate them from modern conceptions, the older term ‘fae’ is often used for traditional fairies.

The power of words and contracts are common themes with the fae, and often in mythology knowing their ‘true name’ gives power over them, so they’re reluctant to give away that information.

I don’t have an eye for such things. If you find any more info, I’ll gladly change the title though!

Let’s go a little lighter on the language describing individuals if we’re going to go for condemnation of modern obesity. It’s a society-scale problem.

Oh, I didn’t mean as a matter of optics for the public, just as a general “Association with repressive Soviet shitheads is undesirable”

Mod privilege is being able to erase bigots with a click of a button

Also why good moderation is so important

Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Oh, I have no clue if they did or not, I just found this pic online at some point and saved it.

It does, unironically. Soviet aesthetics are pretty cool, a shame the Soviets ruined them by being the ones to use it.

Uh, that’s an interesting positioning of Trump.

Oh! But also, we’d love this at !politicalcompassmemes@lemmy.world

Me, antisocial and rotting in my apartment: “Damn where all the antisocial girls rotting in their apartment, how come I never meet them”

Because Biden and the rest of the leadership are a bunch of Cold War fossil fucks.

Being comrades with someone with a Soviet ushanka sounds like a great way to have workers’ protests violently suppressed.

The slaves were much better off. Roman empire was a slave empire.

And the resulting polities were slave kingdoms. Wow. Much improvement.

That’s the main reason it’s celebrated in our empire. Europeans and the founding slavers of USA looked towards roman slavery as their ideal.

Wow, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard in the past 24 hours.

Arguing for the roman empire is like saying that USA was better before the Civil War.

what

Today the worship of this slave empire remains a foundation of white supremacy.

Yes, the foundation of white supremacy was a multiracial empire which had very mixed feelings on those pale G*rmanic savages and thought of Africans and Syrians as the smartest people in the world. You nailed it.

What the fuck are you on about
