Lmfao doing a “in Minecraft” bit but for nonviolent protest is so fucking funny, americans are so cooked
and it’s not even a bit lmfao
critical support for making “in minecraft” safe to use again
the US population has to be the most docile and subservient in the world, there’s no fucking way 😭
They literally can’t even larp in Minecraft that they can do anything of importance at resisting fascism, not even like a “punch nazis” PvP event or something, even their larp session has to be a civil obedient slave march
I bet my ass they’re going to be waving Ukraine banners, both sidesing the Iran war, and calling Trump a Russian
the US population
Tbh, I mostly think it’s white suburban libs. Black and indigenous people have long histories of, often very violent, resistance. But y’know… The whole settler Colonialism thing made a lot of white suburban libs, so that’s who we tend to hear from.
if you read this from right to left like i did at first your brain defaults to a yoda voice
I was invited to a “No Kings” protest except it was in Canada so they called it “No Tyrants” because we have a king…… lmao
Liberals get extremely offended when I say we should kill the royal family of a given country. It’s like, do you not even understand your own liberal history??
It’s crazy to think there was once a volunteer-legion of liberals lol
That was when liberalism was revolutionary. Since then it has won, solidified its rule and turned into a thoroughly conservative ideology.
See, I’m pretty “go where the masses are” about No Kings, but I just can’t take the Canadian rebrand seriously lmao
Yeah same. It’s the most infuriatingly milquetoast Canadian “compromise” ever. Right up there with “you can advertise medicines but not say what they do in the advert”. Deeply unserious country
Really stretching the definition of the word “action” there

AOC is in her 30s but it’s not like the Dems are ever gonna let her have real power
Why wouldnt the cia want one of their own in the oval office, again? Its not like shes actually progressive, its to lure in ignorant libs and neuter their revolutionary energy.
No, but she plays a progressive on TV. If she were to actually have a chance at passing progressive policies, the mask would have to come off.
Even if they do fuck is she gonna do, put her on the pile with Bernard and the rest of the useless liberal parasites
There’s people like Zizek who think that it’s good the Conservative (like trump) wins, because it shows how evil they are. I think that’s wrong. The Correct approach is electing a lib and forcing them into a checkmate where they either act or self-sabotage. Of course the obvious problem with my proposition is that the moment the Lib is elected they’d be smart enough to give people treats and they’d stop pushing them, so it’d preserve the statue quo.
Honestly I’m not smart enough to figure out what to do here. I really hope someone out there is. It’s easy to say “Just make your own party” but then why am I not doing it?
Push them into acting!? What? How is that possible? I don’t think it’s realistic.
These people know neither shame, nor embarrassment, nor obligation to grow a spine and stand up for anything.
Why? They get paid either way, win or lose it doesn’t matter, the American people are suckers who fall for the same trick again and again, like a broken record, like a bad joke that’s ran its course, and it’s not funny, it’s fucking appalling, it’s sad.
Even if the democrats shit the bed, like they have, many times in fact, people will still fall for the same tricks.
They’ve been pretty consistently self-sabotaging, it’s how Trump won in the first place.
I think people think I’m saying: “If you Vote in the Good cop then things will get better, than the Bad cop.”
Here’s what I’m saying:
“If you can’t vote out the cop, then make the good cop have to start beating people.”
Why are you allowing them to lose and let their attack dog loose? Can’t you see through it? Do you think they’re so ignorant they don’t know how to throw up a popular campaign? Those people are literally friends with each other like jfc
They can self-sabotage enough to deliberately lose, there is nothing the left can do to avoid that. There is no beating the turnismo by its rules, only by throwing the system out.
it might be advantageous for us long term to tell libs we support her in the primary to maximize the damage the party does to itself by crushing her faction
Rahm Emmanuel looking like he sleeps in a coffin
Behold the next generation
All these people suck obvs but what anyone still sees in the charisma black hole that is
is beyond me. I had lib friends in 2020 who were like “yeah I like Buttigieg he has good things to say!” and I couldn’t roll my eyes hard enough“yeah I like Buttigieg he has good things to say!”
Did they give any examples?
Medicare for all who want it. But then he found out everyone wanted it, so he retracted the good thing he said.
What could the point of virtual protest even be? Even makes it easier to identify the typical participant if you had any interest in doing so while ensuring that it isn’t visible let alone impactful to anyone who doesn’t already agree with you.
there are virtual protests that actually might accomplish something, like flooding anti-trans tip forms with garbage data, poisoning databases, things that stay on the legal side of a ddos attack.
i don’t know how a bunch of people playing minecraft at the same time would even accomplish the networking or recruitment that some comrades have reported their local PSL or DSA making marginal gains out of these lib parades.
Right… people are so afraid of violence while the right revels in it.
You’re right about marginal gains. I was there, handed out a ton of flyers and had lots of short organizing conversations and maybe some of the people we reached will show up at the 101 next week and learn something about Socialism. Or they will just keep putting frogs on their signs…
Libs believe that when 3.5% of the population protests there’s an automatic change of government, so by trying to get more people to “protest”, they expect a sudden government change.
You famously vote the zombies and creepers out in minecraft
This is not what I meant by “in minecraft!”
I’ve honestly ran out of jokes about this shit.
I was actually impressed with our local no kings. They actually had some mutal aid stuff and called it a community event instead of a protest. Also talks about local issues.
But based off the pics I’ve seen, a lot of others have a long way to go
Xi, stop fucking around and just humiliate the YanKKKee KKKlowns already
“yeah the Minecraft revolution will succeed! umm… we will… play Minecraft virtually, non-violently, and… protest this kingly injustice!”
at this point it’s more of an invitation to play on a Minecraft SMP than any political action…
“See you in the mines.” Yeah, when we’re all in a fucking forced labor camp
the good news is it’ll still probably be a virtual mine. bad new is we’re gonna be mining for crypto
That’s what they tell you to make it easier to get on the transport. We’ll die digging up lithium for the next generation cyber truck, unfortunately.
I know we had a big ol’ struggle session over no kings the first time, and I don’t want to bring it back up and make everyone fight again, but I will say I HIGHLY dislike these “protests” and the big ol’ waste of time they are.
You know in your heart of hearts what must be done…
