To be fair, as a democrat, I generally view conservative voters as easily-misled people - essentially "dumb," I view conservative leaders as thugs trying to overthrow America, and I view conservative corporate heads as ruling class elites. When you're using such an overarching term as "Conservative" or "Left" it comes with the unsaid caveat that there are many subgroups that can differ greatly from one another.
Yeah. The leadership is #2 and #3 while the rank-and-file are #1.
"My enemy is simultaneously too weak and too strong"
Straight up fascism from conservatives
Oh we are safe, no way in hell Trump reads Dostoevsky
Ahahahaha. Nice one.
Thanks, it is good to know a few people got my niche reference.
Amazing to me that Trumpists have zero self awareness.
These “signs of fascism” docs should add “a blind and ignorant base”.
They read it as a recipe not a warning.
Ive also seen people who praise Elon Musk and Trump who said that the left is far right
What I think is hilarious is when conservatives call Joe Biden of all people the radical left.
Nice. Needs more AI hands.
My views on Republicans are similar. The voters are both ignorant and poor, as well as selfish and wealthy. Those are two subsets of the same group. The leadership tends to fall into the latter category, with a few idiots thrown in for good measure.
Most comments make this conclusion.
But none mention that at this point, hating on the left, the right or anyone other than those shoveling money is helping the status quo stay like it is.
Any radicalization is a direct effect of financial despair (slowly creeping up). The fascists are a symptom but the greedy are the disease.
It is what brought hitler to power and it is the same for trump. Please unionize and start striking, your life depends on it.
And the "liberal news media" controls all the information. You know, that media that is all owned by about six corporations.
Look up "news consolidation" sometime. In the 1980s, all the news outlets were ultimately owned by about 30-40 companies.
American "Left": maybe we shold do some student debth relif? Just a tini-tiny. If you don't mind.
Rest of the world right: universal education, more funding!
Rest of the world center: universal education, state must provide students with everything(including housing and food) so they don't worry about anything else other than learning, state must provide teachers with everything(including decent salary) so they don't wory about anything else other than teaching, state must provide universities with all necessary equipment, buildings must be maintained in good condition(so ceiling wouldn't fall on students' and teachers' heads)!
I truly don't mean to be pedantic here, but aren't these nearly word for word the same beliefs Left-leaning people here have about the Right in America?
Maybe if you're being generous and want to write out the other side of these beliefs you could leave out the descriptors "lazy and weak" and replace them with "psychotic and brainwashed", but other than that, is this meme not the same for Left and Right?
Fascism requires an enemy that is too strong, to unify a base; and too weak, to convince the base of their superiority.
Replace "The Left"(tm) with Jew and Conservative with Naizs and the Meme would still make sense.
American Left?
and then you have the liberals claiming to be the left while pretending we're not living in a class society 🤡
2 hours after calling libs right wing you don't have any downvotes!?! What, are they all in business school still?
Edit: one finally came, god bless :)
🤣
the left is all. the left is life
The Jan 6 insurrection was both Antifa leftwing crisis actors and also patriotic Americans doing the right thing.
The fact that some people genuinely think there's any kind of leftist representation in the US or that its system would ever even allow that to happen is funny
What if I told you "the left" isn't a single person...
I mean, it's a large enough group that they're not necessarily mutually exclusive. And I happen to think the last 2 things about the right 🤣
This meme just highlights for me the fact someone could make nearly the same meme for right-wingers simply by changing left to right and it would sound much like what we're fed by the media we consume on the daily.
