Soycialists of America

Bear in mind as you watch this that it isn’t a comedy sketch, this is real life.  Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Democratic Socialists of America convention.

[thegreekstranger]

American comrades ? Excellent ! And it seems that there is in the US an increasing interest and sympathy for the ideas of democratic socialism, especially among the younger generations - of course to the dismay or even panic of the people of the mix of right and far right that has become now the American conservatism (”Send them back” etc)…

BTW @redbloodedamerica, why “soy-cialists” ? ”Soy boy” in the American far-right (alt-right) slang that you adopt means “effeminate liberal”, as I read on the net. But I see in the -very much edited -video that you have posted normal people, mostly young ones of course. I wonder what is for you a “real” (not “soy”) man. I suspect that hard-line right- wing beliefs and agressivity, uncritical love for capitalism, a good dose of (gratuitous) machismo and some degree of obsession with guns must be among the basic characteristics of your definition of this “real” man (I should add perhaps a huge appetite for meat eating, often accompanied by very bad taste, if one can judge from your favorite persona of Ron Swanson). But to say that such characteristics are irrelevant or totally erroneous  for a definition of what a man should be in our days would be an understatement, I think…

[redbloodedamerica]

I’m not sure what country you’re from but you clearly do not understand American political culture.  The term “soy boy” is not “alt-right”–which I’m not even sure is a thing anymore–but simply a pejorative mocking the men like those at the Democratic Socialists of America convention and part of Antifa.  Considering how you seem to believe this video edited-for-time has somehow been deceptively edited and that this is normal social behavior leads me to conclude you are also the butt of the joke.  And sorry to break it to you, but made-up “democratic socialism” thankfully is a fringe moronic political movement that hopefully intelligent children eventually grow out of as the become more mature and knowledgeable.

[psyonic-cobra]

Isn’t Democratic socialism basically just “make the rich and the state one entity” when you get right down to it?

[redbloodedamerica]

“Democratic socialism” is basically anything that the proponents of “democratic socialism” want it to be.  It is a nonsensical term with an amorphous meaning that can be shaped in any way to solve any social problem using the state apparatus. Therefore, it is an easy term for authoritarian statist politicians, pundits, and academics to use in order to promulgate their top-down government solutions to dumb people, and in turn its easy for dumb people to embrace and regurgitate to other dumb people.

[themodernmaccabee]

Its fucking socialism

[redbloodedamerica]

You would think they would just come outright and call it that, but what’s occurred is that socialism has a lot of flagrant connotation that comes along with it–being that any authoritarian group from the Soviet Union to Nazi Germany to North Korea have all advocated for it in one way or another.  

Plus, ownership of the means of production has never worked as advertised.  So they have pushed for what Kevin Williamson called–for a lack of a better word–“new socialism”.  This basically is a government tax and redistributionism scheme taking the mixed-market economy to the extremes including nationalism of whole industries if they can get away with it.  The Europeans called this social democracy and historically in the US it has more been associated with the watered down version of progressivism and some forms of populism.  

But now “democratic socialism” represents a catchy buzz term where they can jettison all the negative significance of actual socialism while embracing anything and everything they want the state to provide by leeching off of the private sector.  And apparently the DSA has really latched onto to the whole social justice, intersectionality scene as well.

Stop ironically stanning Dolly Parton and start acknowledging her for the genius that she is

[unwastelandunbaby]

her nonprofit the imagination library sends out monthly books, completely free of charge, to any child that wants it. anyone who knows anything about reading education will tell you that simply putting books into children’s homes is the best way to promote literacy. they even have braille and audio options!

we love dolly

[athena-noctua-bubo]

As a Children’s Librarian I can testify that kids who grow up w/ books, see people reading, and have access to books grow up to be readers.  

[littlefeatherr]

Dolly Parton also is a musical and songwriting genius. She's written over 3,000 songs and plays seven instruments.

She's supported charities benefiting Appalachia and shut down racism and misogyny for decades. She's incredibly brave.

Everyone needs to put some respect on her name.

Nation Torn Apart By Routine Election Starting To Wonder If Government May Be Too Powerful

U.S.—As the nation was torn apart by a relatively mundane, routine midterm election, just like the ones that regularly occur every fou

[moonlit-altar]

’“Like, if the government is so powerful that it’s a life-or-death fight every couple years to take control of it, maybe we should just dismantle the whole thing?” said one anchor before the program suddenly cut to a “Technical Difficulties” screen.’

Amazing.

[the-anon-recovery-group]

“I was starting to wonder why we were all at each other’s throats,” said one Democratic voter in Oregon. “And then it hit me: the politicians and policies we’re voting on could shake up who has the government’s blessings for the next few years, and which groups will get left out. And then I was like, ‘Whoa. Maybe if the government weren’t so huge and bloated, we wouldn’t care about elections that much.”

[the-anon-recovery-group]

Sorry, this is satire. Sorry; when I clicked the clinked the link I didnt even scroll up, I was just so thrilled that someone had some sense. Its absolutely *true*, that’s why I was so eager to post in the first place. But never happened folks, sorry.

But who paved the roads that allowed them to carry on their business? They didn’t build that. Someone else made it happen. Now that they’re successful they owe the rest of us something! Right?!!

[redbloodedamerica]

Get over your state-dictated roads.  As if businesses would not have come up with their own, probably superior, transportation methods if the state didn’t have a monopoly on the goddamn roads from the beginning.  If we really want to play that game, how did the government build the roads without first taking money out of private businesses’ and workers’ pockets in the first?  The government is not a god.  It didn’t just create roads out of kind providence for businesses to flourish.  It had to reallocate wealth created in the market towards infrastructure.

The government is always the middle man.  Always.  They are that one kid in a school group project who signs their name to the project at the very end and takes all the credit for its success.

[cyrodiil-burns]

Bro I love you but that was obviously a sarcastic take on Obama’s FAMOUS “they didn’t build that” quote.

[redbloodedamerica]

I did see that the first time, but you may be right upon a second close reading.  Perhaps even sarcasm mocking statists is too on-the-nose nowadays.  If that is the case, I humbly apologize and bow to your on-point mockery, @shadowfromthestarlight.

im gonna need youtube to stop recommending me videos of mbb its too depressing 

[buried-l0cket]

Bc Hollywood is a never ending cycle of female child stars being encouraged to dress and act mature incredibly young to appeal to grown men, preyed upon and groomed by grown men in Hollywood, being in relationships with these men twice their age the second they turn 18, then Hollywood turning on them as adults for relying on sex appeal and ruining their careers, and here we are in 2019 where all the female child stars from the 90s are at that final stage and opening up about how gross their treatment as children was and we’re all like “yeah put an end to this!! #metoo!!!” And then Millie Bobby brown, a 15 year old, is dressed like this by her stylists for every public appearance and is being persued by grown men and everyone’s just like “aw it’s cute! Let her dress how she wants!” And it’s just never gonna get better or end we’re gonna treat girls like this forever. :)

#SaveTheTrees

[estrolatte]

I feel like an important message is trying to be communicated to me but I have no idea what it is

[mirroringseas-blog]

Our forests are being cut down 3x faster than they can grow! One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees!!! This is super useful for so many things, especially paper production! In addition, hemp takes in carbon dioxide 4x as fast as trees do, which makes it especially valuable in the act of reducing CO2 emissions/greenhouse gases! 🌲🌲🌲 source 

[getfawked120-deactivated2023053]

#the scope of the anti-hemp conspiracy in the united states is terrifying once you start doing research tbh#like it was initially smeared/banned bc lumber lobbyists pushed for it to be…#and a major smear tactic was to associate it with black people#who now a hundred years later are the ones primarily being imprisoned for it#and the plant itself has now been inextricably linked to the drug so people won’t even allow for it to be grown for commercial purposes#like paper making (via literallyfuckeveryone)

[temporarilypermanenturl]

Important reminder that industrial hemp can’t be used as a recreational drug, so if anyone tries to pull that card you can just stop them then and there. There are no real arguments against using industrial hemp, even if you’re rigidly against the legalization of any recreational drugs.

So only the rich can have kids? The is literally eugenicism but okay

[thejaystar13]

Everyone commenting on this says it’s Eugenics , but what the post said was financially prepared, not rich. As in if you’ve factored a child into your life and made the appropriate financial and life sacrifices it’s okay. Some poor people take better care of their children than wealthier people because they were willing and ready to put aside whatever it took to raise their child no matter what hardship they themselves will face, this actually incorporates both the mental and financial aspects of being ready to have a child. Whether you’re rich or poor, if you haven’t made a plan or set aside funds for your child it’s unfair to the child. Even if your preparation is making sure you’re on welfare, gathering food stamps and stocking up on free supplies, it’s enough to raise a child, just make sure you’ve prepared and are ready to do anything for that child.

[howaikr]

that’s a really good point, thank you for explaining!

[invincible-selfxmade-punk]

The dumbest thing I’ve ever been told when trying to explain why I didn’t want kids was this: “If you wait until you’re ready, you’ll never have them. Sometimes you just have to do it anyway.” No. Literally no I do not.

[pumpqinking]

Okay but also please don’t do this. POC and LGBT people and all immigrants will not read the hat, they’ll see it from a distance, instantly feel unsafe and uncomfortable, and you’ll have put some really bad feelings into whatever space you’re in. They won’t check the phrase, they’ll avoid you and you’ll ruin their day.

[yourladyindank]

They’re humans, not children, they can check the damn hat, or they can grow up and mind their business.

[burningmanonacid-deactivated202]

I find it funny how that person is like “uwu you might scare poor minorities” but my first thought is “the person wearing that is gonna get the shit beat out of them by someone who won’t even read it”

[ambitiousanarchist]

“why should I be care about intentionally making minorities feel unsafe?”

Honestly fuck you @keyhollow , fuck you @burningmanonacid, fuck you @sad-white-boy for Reblogging this, and fuck everyone else who did.

Thank you, @pumpqinking for being a reasonable and sympathetic person.

[yourladyindank]

As a minority, grow up

[ambitiousanarchist]

As a minority, if you think making other minorities feel unsafe is okay in any case, fuck off.

[dangerbooze]

As a minority, stop infantilizing others. It’s gross and pathetic.

[ad-hominem-sappies-deactivated2]

I should buy it for my dad. He’d get a kick out of it.

[libertarian-druid-ny-separatist]

@lizzthehunter as someone who is an ethnic minority, bisexual, and a religious minority, read the damn hat. Even if it’s a MAGA hat, don’t fucking assault people. Ya know, like the fucking law says.

If they attack you, then by all means fight back. But if you initiate it then you’re in the wrong.

[done-with-your-bs]

Imagine being so weak that a red hat triggers you that much. Y'all need to take @keyhollow’s advice and grow up.

[im-the-princess-now]

As a minority, I’m tired so seeing other people tell me I’m too weak and fragile to see something that may or may not offend me. Grow up. Sticks and stones bro. I do t need you to shield me from a fucking hat.

[drinkingwhitetears-deactivated2]

Who is even saying “as a minority” we are people of color. And obviously the “I am a minority” people are not black. They are probably white passing people with a distance relative who was 1% black. Give me an entire break

[dangerbooze]

I rather say minority than a colored person. Because an ethnic minority sounds better than a rephrased racist term that ends up meaning “you’re either black or not”.

Either you support all “POC” or you’re just as much of a race supremacist as the people you claim to be against.

Fuck off, racist.
