Nah it’s a pretty clean message, we are going to consume all of their resources, and put up walls so high they can never accumulate that much again. Like God crumbling the tower of Babel.
Also, whoever shot and murdered a healthcare CEO in cold blood last year got more praise from the general public than basically anything the Democratic party has done in the last ten years, so yeah, that comment seems pretty out of touch with public sentiment
That will happen anyway, because it a core component of fascism. It does not matter what is said, it will be abused by the fascists.
The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. … However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.
Did you ever think they probably should be scared at this point? Fear is a great way to regulate behavior without the need for action. The fascist taught me that.
I’m someone they consider a leftist even tho I’m really a classical liberal with libertarian biases and guns. I do want to Tale of Two Cities them. They are correct, and I’m not even hungry yet. Just disenfranchised.
I’d probably eat the rich literally if it produced the right reaction: have a Martha Stewart style cooking show all about it: it would get great ratings!
you need to stop using phrases like that, it’s going to be turned around on you like defund the police
Message: Defund the police!
Your response: stop using that phrase. It’s not specific enough and too easily weaponized by the right.
Message: reallocate police funding to mental health response teams. Transfer duties from the police to medical professionals.
Your response: the left sucks at messaging. We need powerful slogans that capture the imagination, not wonkish policy positions.
don’t ascribe fictional quotes to me, buddy
If they were quotes they would have quotation marks…

Bipartisan support too 🤣🫡
Mark my words, it will be turned around as an example of “leftist blood thirst”

They’ll do that no matter what, so we may as well do the right thing in the meantime.
