this is too optimistic. Probably like 3/4 of these doofs will watch another sheep get eaten and go “must be a lion in disguise”
He said he was going to eat the other sheep, not us?!
“Election”
And the the wolves win 99% of the vote. Guess sheep want to be eaten.
What’s crazy is if you are an American that has lived in a “developing nation” you have a very realistic idea what is going to happen here.
And there is no way to show/explain/persuade any “real American” of what is coming.
WAAHHH HE’S EATING THE WRONG SHEEP!!!
They will not have this level of self reflection. They will blame whoever they’re told by the wolves to blame. Particularly, the closest and most convenient differently-colored sheep.
2024 is basically just “2016: The Sequel”
The 2016 trouble were triggered by the murder of Harambe. Is it possible that the 2024 trouble were triggered (escalated, really) murder of Peanut and Fred?
Who and what?
Peanut and Fred were a perfectly healthy squirrel and a racoon with millions of followers who were euthanized a few weeks ago by health authorities because their owners had no permission for their custody. Squirrel bit one of the health officers when they took them away so they had to test the animals for rabies (which ends with the death of the animal).
This all was propangandized by libertarian muskrats and the south african apartheit-fan himself for the elections to show the overreaching of, especially the democratically ruled, big government.
With a bit of added 2020 spice
Yeah I think it’s a sacrifice they’re willing to make, unfortunately.
Not only US politics. Romania is about to vote for a right wing extremist as their president, Germany is going to vote for a right wing, extremist party in February, France gave right wing extremists 30% of parliament, Spain voted for a right winger too, Hungary has had Victor Orban for years, and so on. All the while progressive and left leaning people either don’t vote, strategically vote for a center right party, or vote for some unknown, unimportant, backwater party that has no chance of doing anything in parliament.
Well, Germany isn’t that far along. It will vote for a conservative party first, which will do nothing to change the crumbling economy and infrastructure but will further cut social services, all this while normalizing far right talking points by trying to court the voters on the right fringe (who only ever vote for the original), while ignoring or even demonizing any position even slightly left. This will lay the groundwork for the fascists to take over after the next election. And once more conservatives will have helped fascists destroy democracy.
This is not new though, Orwell pointed out in 1939 that demcroacies inevitability turn Fascist when times get harder.
Climate change will see that get even worse still.
As Yeats famously wrote:
The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
Seems it’s happening again.
The problem is that centrists consistently align themselves with the far right in order to screw over the leftists.
Centrist is the funniest political term ever. Most self-proclaimed centrists are actually further right than most self-proclaimed right-wing people, far less supportive of democracy, AND are also the least informed about political matters than either right-wing people or left-wing people. All of this has been verified by multiple studies, too.
Again, a leftist disparaging a comrade. As is tradition. “Any opinion I disagree with is right-wing”. Funny how that works.
And leftists can’t unite because they spend their time arguing about whose motives are more pure.
“Judean People’s Front!? We’re the People’s Front of Judea! And if there’s one thing we hate worse than the Romans, it’s the bleeding Judean People’s Front!”
Leftists are busy screwing over other leftists because they’re not good enough.
MAGAs are dumb but ‘both sides same so I’m not going to vote’ leftists might as well be braindead.
Centrists like to call themselves “other leftists” while supporting genocide and cozying up to the Cheneys.
What they call “purity testing” we call “Don’t support state-backed murder.”
Centrists wish they had morals.
Centrists denigrate people who have standards because they have none.
The downvotes are proof of this. Why have a platform that improves the lives of everywhere, when you can act smug and support horrid policies that fascists love?
There it is.
Hitler also carried out everything he campaigned on. It’s the appeal of a populist strongman, they actually do what they say they’re gonna do.
The problematic part was all the extra stuff he didn’t mention. When he said he would deal with the Jewish problem few people understood how far he would go. He was also beholden to big business despite his apparently socialist posturing.
You’d think we would have learned from the past, but no. Humanity has a short memory.
I feel like it should be something along the lines of told/outspoken/self-proclaimed [socialism] as apparent would imply that his acts had the look of socialism, which was not really the case
I wish.
And I’d like to propose a more humane perspective, the “wolves” here will go great lenghts to keep their fanbase from understanding what’s going on.
They’ll just keep blaming it on the other sheep and the sheepdogs and the shepherds
Yeah, he will just manifest a new enemy to blame for his incompetence. Last time, it was the “deep state.” Remember, everything he says is accepted as fact. Like election fraud, where the only evidence is that he said it. Reality has never stood in the way of sheep logic.
As long as it doesn’t directly hurt them they’ll still love it
Even if it does they’ll always find a scapegoat
Now there’s no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw
Rush’s don’t do stuff like that. They got these lyrics about… how trees are talking to each other, and how different sides of your brain works, and outer space bullshit.
Relevant:
I used to think like that when in my early-mid 20s I would revisit childhood cartoons of mine (80s and 90s stuff) and I would say to myself that this crap is unrealistic because no way the villains could have such dumb followers and be that dumb and continue to exist.
Now I realize that the only truely unrealistic scenario is that in those cartoons you have the good guys who are lauded as good guys for defeating the villains. In reality the villains would simply have some basic PR and propaganda to label the good guys as the real villains and people would swallow that shit up like nobody’s business.
Unfortunately, I think you are right about this.
I don’t know who this villian guy is but I’m hearing good things on the kill all superheros network.
Make trumpgret great again
