People complained that the Russians didn't protest more at the beginning of the war, and here you have the Americans, who won't be sent to Siberia or thrown out

People complained that the Russians didn't protest more at the beginning of the war, and here you have the Americans, who won't be sent to Siberia or thrown out of a window, doing nothing.
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoAmerican liberals are so full of lifelong indoctrination into thinking that laws, courts, and constitutions are what hold up democracy ... they're just going in circles for the last 10 years expecting the next election or court decision to save them. They have no real concept of the mobilization of people power, street protest, disobedience because it's been stripped from the ideological palette of American liberalism. Those on the left who do hold these concepts of opposition are deliberately marginalized by their two party system. Just like with Russians and the war, the world cannot expect domestic dissent within these countries to save them. It's up to the people of Europe & Canada to form alliances and do the best we can.

- crystal_revenge 2y agoAmerican liberal propaganda is so powerful because liberals sincerely are incapable of seeing it because they take it as fact. What's odd is that, despite considering themselves "left", no one them seem to have gotten through enough Marx to understand the concept of "ideology" which is the basis for their distorted worldview. I always felt this 4chan Harry Potter copypasta perfectly captured contemporary American liberal ideology: https://preview.redd.it/qiqe74sl19141.jpg?auto=webp&s=07645c6452259b7e90ae9a35be864d3adadcb3b1 https://preview.redd.it/qiqe74sl19141.jpg?auto=webp&s=07645c...

- crystal_revenge 2y agoI always find it interesting that Americans will rant on about how oppressive China is because you can't talk about a particular event (Tiananmen Square massacre), while not batting an eye that mention one of the most prominent thinkers in Western history will get everything else you say absolutely invalidated. Again, a perfect examples... somebodies writings on ideology.
