Wait do leftists really believe in the "Red Covid" thing? Propaganda truly is alive and well in the 21st century.

The only people who could unironically believe something that is so obviously propaganda are leftists.

Change my mind.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

I looked up the OpEd that supposedly popularized the term, and it also mentioned Hispanics and Black people were also more likely to avoid getting the shot.

Of course, it didn't discuss them for the rest of the article.

And it certainly didn't mention the BLM protests that btoke Da Rulez.

Progs hate small businesses because they're an example of capitalism working as intended while communism continues never worked as intended to begin with

Yeah they hate to see people succeeding in life. Which explains why they are fans of communism.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

If there's nothing extremists hate more than moderates, there's nothing reds hate more than evidence against "tthe idea that "capitalists are just evil gigantic corporations!"

they also ignore how businesses can be worker-owned co-ops. Like;

Instead of stripping every adult on the internet of their privacy to keep the comparatively smaller population of children out of spaces that are inappropriate for them, I propose we assign children a couple of responsible adults each who can help them use the internet in an age appropriate and safe way. They could set individualized restrictions and guardrails to keep kids from being exposed to things that might hurt them and help teach them how to safely exist among strangers and perhaps even how to manage minor discomfort so that it does not become debilitating to them later in life. Think about it! Kids could get the chance to grow and learn and participate in society and have someone there to help them with that and make sure things don't get out of hand. Kind of like how we teach kids to participate in real world spaces a little bit at a time with the help of responsible adults who look out for their safety. Wouldn't that be cool? I wonder what we could call those responsible adults... oh! I know!

We could call them parents.

As a lifelong Dem:

I'm not Jewish but watching people on the left not only unironically but casually repeat the kind of shit that the OG Nazis were saying in the 30s and then disregard me when I tell them that (with receipts) is scary AF. Somewhere down the line, the ideas and language of social justice got swerved in a very bad way so that antisemitism would still be "ok."

[takashi0]

This was actually completely obvious when you realize modern social justice isn't about lifting up the needy, bit tearing down "The Oppressor" and encouraging cruelty manipulation and ostracization against those deemed as part of "the oppressor", along with the absolute insane and blatantly untrue rhetoric that Free Speech and Gun Ownership were things used only by "The Oppressor" as tools to "Oppress."

All of which i cannot possibly overstate should've been massive red flags for anyone who paid attention to how the Nazis came to power.

[kal-dracule]

Ah Marxism.

So many movements but different flavors.

"we need to tear down the billionaires (commies), patriarchy (feminist), systemic white racism (blm) only then will we the oppressed be free!"

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

Or, to put it another way "Everything in the world could be fixed if we just do Good Thing. The only reason we can't do Good Thing is because Bad People are stopping us. If we can just get rid of all the Bad People, we could do Good Thing and fix everything."

[anscathmarcach]

SJWs only responses when shown the vile things SJWs have done:

“Okay but that’s not what (insert SJW group here) is.”

“Nobody EVER does this. This NEVER happens.”

“They deserved it.”

[arcenciel-par-une-larme]

> “But the atrocities that person/group committed weren’t done in the name of communism/atheism/feminism!”

> “They did nothing wrong. The oppressed have every right to lash out against their oppressors.”

> Appeal to slavery/the Crusades/the Inquisition

> “That event never happened. You only think it did because conservatives/fundamentalists corrupted the historical facts and you believe their propaganda.”

[anamericangirl]

Are you 100% horse fed for that double horse juiced-in goodness?

I’m not sure what this means but I’m sure it’s offensive

[anamericangirl]

*feeds you hay because you are a horse*

I’ll give you an apple later. Also I love your blog!

Thank you! My blog loves you!

no wonder shipping containers are so expensive

At that point why not just commit to a stone fortress instead of a log cabin

[hawkinthird]

Obviously they're retarded

[bprinny]

That explains the water tanks that are just left outside the perimeter, where anyone can fuck with them

[torix-gaming]

Th-thats gotta be their gray and black water right?

[snakeplisskenseyepatch]

That's around 150,000 dollars in shipping containers.

[torix-gaming]

Idea for my settlement money.

[snakeplisskenseyepatch]

A lot of people here in FL have done some cool houses out of them. They put them up 3 foot tall concrete pillars and a metal frame. Bolt them to the metal frame. One local guy did 7 containers together and advertises it as "storm proof" which they are.

[torix-gaming]

Is he using the 40ft ones?

And is he doing them end to end or side by side? Maybe a combination of the two?

[snakeplisskenseyepatch]

This is similar to the one he did.

[torix-gaming]

Oh shit, he went double decker, now I gotta see how much he charges.

[snakeplisskenseyepatch]

You can do them modestly or fairly elaborate. A lot of people do them now.

[dankempauthor]

I used to build MOUT training sites out of the things, and they would not be my choice.

[salt-n-tigers]

There’s a lot of added fabrication involved with using them. They were designed to take a lot of weight straight down to specific points. As soon as you start cutting holes in them their integrity is out the window, literally. As a builder I am not a fan of these things at all.

[matt-the-radar-techncian]

This just sounds like making a house out of sheet metal but way more expensive and with a lot of extra work for no benefit

[hst3000]

That's exactly what it is. You're better off disassembling them and using the corrugated steel if you're hellbent on using them, or just buy the metal stock if you like the look.

[captainjonnitkessler]

The other reason I'm generally annoyed with the "Abolish X" crowd who actually DO mean "abolish X" and not a watered-down version is that ime they very rarely have fully thought out the implications of what they're demanding and then get angry when other people ask about it.

"Family abolition means completely removing legal ties for family units and allowing all children the choice of where they live" okay. So if I see a three-year-old throwing a fit because she doesn't want to leave the park, and I go over and tell her if she comes home with me she can stay as long as she likes and then we'll get McDonald's on the way home, that three-year-old should have the ability to make that decision? The parent or guardian has no legal recourse to stop me from taking her? Cause if the answer's no, that's not abolition, that's reform baby!

"I'm done talking about what we'll do with rapists and murderers after we abolish prisons, it's all anybody ever wants to talk about!" Well yeah man! 98% of people just interpreted your words as "we're going to let murderers roam around killing people at will"! You need to explain very clearly what plans you have that will stop them that aren't incarceration or you're not going to make any headway! And if your answer involves any form of "well of course SOME people can't be allowed total freedom" - that's not abolition, that's reform baby!

I'm not even gonna touch the number of people who think we should abolish the police and replace them with what are essentially roaming squads of vigilantes dispensing "community justice", whatever the fuck that means.

Like these aren't "gotcha" questions, they're legitimate problems you're going to have to contend with. And if you wave away all these questions with "you're just making up ridiculous scenarios" and "we'll think of something to fix that once we destroy the current system", then yeah actually, I DO think you care more about sounding radical than about making any kind of change.

[alleecatblues]

It’s not reform. The rehabilitation system that prison abolitionists argue for does not look anything like our current punitive prison system. It’s not reform because it’s not slowly changing the current system, it’s removing it entirely and replacing it with something else.

Same goes for the police. I don’t know who you’re getting your information from that you think police abolition involves replacing them with roaming vigilantes (that’s basically what we have already) but even if we did replace the police with another organization, it would be a complete replacement, not a reform. You cannot reform the police. They won’t let you. You have to just tear it down and start over.

I think you should really do some actual research on justice system abolition before you start complaining about people “not understanding it” because it really makes it look like you’re the one who doesn’t understand.

[needabetternamelater]

Oh, it absolutely is reform, it doesn't look anything like the current system apart from keeping the core part of the systems. We all know how it works if you don't abolish prisons and police but that wasn't the goddamn question.

[alleecatblues]

Alright, since people apparently can't do any research on the subject, let me actually explain.

What people mean when they say prison reform: Adding more checks and balances to ensure better conditions for prisoners. Eliminating prison labor or making it at least minimum wage. Retraining prison guards to be more humane.

What people mean when they say prison abolition: Current prison system is gone. What you may think of as "prisons" are mental health diversion centers where people are only placed if they're determined to be a danger to themselves or others. Reform is based on restorative justice and addressing root causes rather than punitive action.

What people mean when they say police reform: Replacing the current warrior mentality training system with one focused on deescalation. Removing or reforming police unions. Adding checks and balances to make sure police are accountable for their actions.

What people say when they mean police abolition: Most situations that would normally involve police now involve mental health professionals trained in deescalation and conflict resolution. If a situation is actually deemed too dangerous for an unarmed response, highly trained and regulated volunteers are sent, armed for that specific situation.

You may argue with the effectiveness of the abolitionist approach, but the point is that all those systems have in common with their original counterparts is that they solve the same problems. the mechanisms by which they do so are completely different.

[needabetternamelater]

I'm sorry, I still don't see how that's *completely* different - you are still keeping the core thing and the mechanics by which they do it aren't at all different...! YOU ARE STILL doing the involuntarny confinement thing - the exact mechansim used now!

[siryouarebeingmocked]

>since people apparently can't do any research on the subject,

It's not other people's job to find evidence for your case.

If you can't even be trusted with that, why should anyone trust you for a drastic change to the whole system?

[carlosmarcosapproved]

[generallemarc]

No, I was told it was bad by the numerous historical accounts of mass murder and totalitarian autocracy. It failed, it lost the Cold War, and now Europe is free. Democracy and the will of the people triumphed over one-party dictatorships from Prague to Warsaw. Get over it.

[generallemarc]

#democratic socialism is more what we should adopt

There's no such thing. Socialism by its nature is autocratic, either you do what you're told or you're brutally reminded why you should've complied. "Democratic socialism" only ever refers to the impossibility of squaring the circle of what socialism says it wants vs what always happens, political movements that are genuinely socialistic but lie about what they want and claim to support democracy, or political movements that are genuinely democratic but are confused as to what words mean and claim to support socialism. The latter are social democrats who're just further to the left than normal 99% of the time, Bernie Sanders is a pretty good example.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

I wonder how many anti-communist people were also anti-slavery or even pro-black civil rights activists?

Google says Fredrick Douglass was strongly opposed to early socialism. And "(pro-civil rights) Politicians like Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumner, were free-market capitalists".

Also, the early NAACP rejected communists (PDF).

Red-Baiting - SNCC Digital Gateway

By the time SNCC came into existence, “Red-baiting," shorthand for this extremely vicious form of anti-Communism, had devastated many Black

And MLK Jr. himself opposed it.

Timothy McVey had absolutely nothing to do with Hillary Clinton! STOP THE BS🤬🤬🤬

[siryouarebeingmocked]

So a right-wing conservative extremist was convinced to blow up a government building to destroy documents?

I'm pretty sure murdering hundreds of people would do even more damage to Hilary if that ever got out, and it would leave a much wider paper and witness trail than a real estate scandal.

And also like 9/11 theories, the attack could've always just gone wrong in a way that didn't achieve the goals. Explosves are not known for being surgical and precise.

If you're a successful disabled women in 2026 losers on tumblr will make racist jokes comparing you to a pedophile.

[feminismisstillahatemovement]

Many things to point out about the either wilful or dumb incomprehension of this reply, but I'm primarily just impressed at the brazen labeling of the paralyzed big brained dude in the wheelchair - a man who could move no part of his body except for twitching one of his cheek muscles - as a pedophile rapist.

*EDIT* And I just now realized "darknesswindupdoll" set up their account only yesterday, just to post this. I really should have checked first before engaging with a crazy person's sock puppet account.

*FURTHER EDIT* And now they've made another: "darkstalkingshadowdoll". I really should be keeping track of all these fake stalker accounts with no other posts on them, but it's probably better to just block them, move along and forget them.
