Dear (neo)liberals,
I’m not here to make you feel better about yourselves and gloss over your hypocrisies that are at the heart of the mess that we find ourselves in. I’m not here to pat you on the back when you write a strongly-worded letter to a fascist asking him to please limit his persecution to the Other. I’m here to remind you that your willingness to perpetuate an unjust system as long as it benefits you personally IS the reason the problem exists in the first place.
I'm seeing some people on here who are very angry at all the Americans who didn't vote for Kamala, be it by abstaining from voting or voting for a different candidate. These people honestly don't have the slightest inkling that their own "I'm alright Jack" attitude is a core part of why we're in this mess.
I hope these individuals gain some insight, especially re the need for systemic change and how the Dems and MAGA are simply two sides of the same coin.
Everyone who isn't signed up to unchecked fascism needs to be pulling in the same direction, preferably in the direction of a general strike.
@Shivviness @aral That "two sides of the same coin" bullshit, coined by Ralph Nader, has been ushering in Republicans for two generations now.
Republicans and Democrats serve the same oligarchic and corporate masters, and have done for a long time. Their masters' goals are therefore these parties' goals.
Dems have seemed perfectly happy playing their part in our well orchestrated slide into fascism, from what I can ascertain.
It saddens me that so many Americans still can't understand that they've been played by capitalists, who will always side with fascist interests.
@Shivviness But… wouldn’t that be… terribly inconvenient? I really don’t think you’re thinking of the shareholders here, Andrew.
