There certainly is a lot more mask-off demands for obeisance

Literally had someone tell me the other day that as a POC, I was obligated to vote for Biden

Which, let me tell you, is not the route you want to take with me

Usually it's post-election rationalization like "lol look at those poor Texans freeze guess they should vote democrat", but they're not even waiting for the election this time. Scratch a liberal and so on.

all American politics can do now is choose who to punish

[–] Deadend@hexbear.net 38 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I choose the rich.

Oh, they aren’t on the option list. What the fuck.

Oh, they aren’t on the option list.

Who do you think wrote the list?

[–] Deadend@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

Obviously a non-partisan source made the list agony

They love "justified" suffering because it allows them to stay idealists. "You're suffering because of your own personal actions rather than some systemic issues outside of your control" is the cornerstone of liberalism and idealism and so they'll always latch on to what they see as the most obviously "wrong" personal action.

Ukraine gave them a brief taste of what it feels like to drop the mask after years of repressing their latent racism. They have been finding it more and more difficult to contain themselves since then.

This is just an incoherent in-between step of them wanting Muslims to be punished (in the US) full stop.

Either they are loudly psychotic or they are quietly psychotic.

The US is just a nation of “good cops” and “bad cops.” The good cops will politely ask you to vote for them, support their policies, accept your destitution as deserved.

When you refuse to accept, ask why it has to be this way, or ask if they could do a better job, the good cop will just shake their head and say “I tried to help. But it looks like we’re doing it the hard way” and walk away for the bad cop to come in and beat you half to death.

Yeah. White liberals always hated and feared brown Muslims -- in fact they were why the War on Terror was so bad for my family, the conservative racists were way easier to deal with (hint, through social violence to teach them respect). They're even worse about it now because it's their war criminal in charge, but they've always been racists.
