Super duper extra-spicy double-plus hot crossed buns radical left

As a very woke radical leftist I'm beyond tired of hearing people like … Joe Biden and federal prosecutors(???) called "radical leftists."

They did not. They are not. They did not earn that title! That is mine! We are NOT the same OK?

Anyway, on the bright side, when real radical leftists start showing up what are the republicans gonna call us? "Super duper extra spicy double plus hot crossed buns radical left?" You spent your biggest move! You've got nowhere more shocking to go!

A SIDE NOTE ON PUNK ROCK, CULTURAL APPROPRIATION, AND THE CULTURAL/POLITICAL SHIFT

TW: there's a joke used in a sarcastic context to pose skepticism at the expense of conservatives and in no way intended to be anti lgbtq

Look, if you want to fight the 4chan frogs you have to use humor on their level. Post-ironically. Use their stereotypical jokes against them.

Conservatives be like:

"My pronouns are failed/comedian"

Call them out for making the same dumbass transphobic jokes. Racist jokes. Anti-sjw jokes. They only have like 3 jokes. Make those jokes unfunny to them so they will stop using it to oppress others. That's the cultural Marxist way of winning the artificial 'culture war' of their own creation. Because Conservative are coping with the fact that for the first time in history they are losing their culture. So they have gotten radicalized.

Hypothetically if this sees enough of the people I want to see it. Then this is the type of psy-ops we could use to take away their desire for using these tired bigoted jokes. Gotta make it look uncool. Because it is. But it's only uncool to them if we are embracing it.

That's how they culturally appropriate. They did it to the term 'based' when they connected it to the term 'red pilled'. Practice the term 'based' as a standalone term. The Based God was originally symbolic for presenting progressive values to a modern/post modern age.

That means we are no longer the counter culture. The left have always been the counter culture side of the two party system. We've always had to fight for more culture, diversity, gender ambiguity, empathy. Punk rock has always been a left and liberal movement. Don't let the libertarians and conservatives try to revise history. They have tried to claim that Punk Rock was an apolitical movement. And that's a load of bullshit and proves how little they even know of Punk rock. It was a way to give a voice to the people. When only the rich and powerful were given a spotlight. The oppressors. The right wing. And I know it started off in England but the spirit of it has always be anti-establishment. They barrier for entry was so low because they embraced the aesthetics of lo-fi homemade charm. And it was never about technical skill. It was made to be contrary to that. High fidelity was the culture. Since Punk rock was always inherently counter culture. And what a force it was. It gave voices to so many who were up against the 'moral majority, Christian fundamentalist' culture that oppressed them and never gave them a chance to be heard.

So, my theory is since the culture is reflecting more and more on the side of the liberals, neo-liberals, and Leftists that we have become the modern majority (my answer to the moral majority since 'moral' is a double speak word that can be inserted for whatever they felt like oppressing.)

Conservatives subconsciously understand this. Some of them consciously do. That why anytime you ever hear about the 'culture wars' it's using coming from the conservatives. And when they say 'woke culture' that's what they mean. It's kind of exposing them for the white nationalists they secretly are. Because 'woke culture' is another term culturally appropriated by the black community, and used to oppress them. Kind of nazi-ish if you ask me. Because they hate woke culture. And don't let them gaslight you cuz they will try. Woke culture means everything that isn't Anglo Saxon Pure White. Once we can acknowledge this we can expose how much they have went past the Overton window of acceptability. They only care about straight white men. And Now that they are the counter culture they are using this 'woke culture ' speak to pretend like they are oppressed. Cuz in cultural Marxism speak, conservatives have been the oppressors since the foundation of America. And for the first time The Left are starting to get the power. We are as close as we've gotten to a DemSoc president, although this late stage capitalism isn't exactly in favor of the left. I feel like the system is sort of rigged against people like Bernie. The president WE deserve. We have gained the culture in spite of capitalism. We need to take advantage of it.

Because the more conservatives become aware of this, the more they will pull from that Punk Rock radicalism and they are way more extreme than the left has ever been. That's why we see Jan 6th incidents, all these anti Trans hate rallies and q anons psychological warfare. It's about as late stage as capitalism can get. And I think the Left aren't radical enough now because we feel a false sense of security where we collectively subconsciously feel that we are culturally winning. But this is why the Trump rallys are so packed and wild. They want to centralize to appear like they are bigger in number than they are. And to express their loyalty to their cult leader Donald Trump. But they are the vocal minority. The left are the majority now. But don't get complacent because it's still too early in this cultural shift. They have displayed how eager for a facistic revolution they are. Again, see Jan. 6th. And they've tried downplaying that. But they were trying to incite a one party dictatorship under their cult leader Donald Trump. Because they are already that desperate to get there 'nuclear family' culture back. "Make America Great Again" that's what that means. Take away everyone who doesn't match the standard for a family. They'll take out any genders, race, LGBTQ allies, anyone who isn't fascist like them. Hitler didn't stop at the Jewish people, he didnt even stop at the ones that looked just like him if they were speaking out against the nazis.

In conclusion, the world ended in 2012. But only for Christian fundamentalist. That's what the mayans predicted. The age of Aquarius. The culture shift. It's not just happening in America. It's all over the world. That's why their is so much war overseas right now. The new world order might actually be coming. But it's not like the fear mongerers like Alex Jones predicted. Well, it is for his audience of Far right and Alt-right conservatives. Because, we are becoming a unified culture. But unlike the last time we became this close to a cultural synthesis, we can't let the fascists take over.

We all want unity.

But unity means diversity and equality for mankind to us

And unity means genetically and through skin color for them.

Counter culture was in much safer hands with the anti- fascists.

The Five Nights at Freddy’s to Radical Leftist pipeline is a bit too real

"oh you'll get more conservative once you get older and experience the world" Getting older and experiencing the world has turned me far, far more radically left then I ever thought possible before

Okay I’m just gonna say it:

Y’all only want to vote for the lesser of two evils for your own comfort.

There is no promise for a good future for our children in any route that the USA government made.

In fact the children/young adults in America right now don’t even have a good future anyways.

Maybe just maybe if the system is so fucked that it’s impossible for a third party to win, that it’s genocide VS genocide squared, that it’s impossible for anyone in power to keep a promise…

the system shouldn’t exist in the first place, and it’s time for a new one.

i will recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about leftists in Israel. an extremely good breakdown of the israeli left by a woman who, in 1948, was an active participant in colonizing Palestine.

No job, no rent: I was a full-time militant in the nineties

“I existed in a radical counterculture predicated on direct action, political and cultural experimentation and a resistance to waged labour. The various projects that constituted this scene were based on ideological commitments, volunteerism and free association. If you didn’t like the direction of a particular project, you could go away and start your own. As such, the early 1990s saw an explosion in self-organised and militant anti-capitalist activity, ranging from radical ecology to anti-fascism and beyond ...

“Free from the bondage of work, our days were spent producing radical bulletins and newspapers, flyposting local estates, organising protests and direct actions, frequenting radical bookshops, meeting comrades for informal gatherings and cooking collective meals. There were plenty of entry points through which younger activists could get involved in ‘the movement’, and, without the need to work or pay rent, were able to reproduce their lives as full-time militants.  

“By the time the 2010 student movement was in full swing, changes to both the dole and tighter anti-squatting legislation made this lifestyle increasingly difficult. However, the self-organised politics of London’s radical direct action movement nonetheless shaped the concerns and sensibilities of this generation, many of whom would, in 2015, redirect their efforts and resources to supporting Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party leadership bid.

“The turn toward institutional politics heralded by Corbynism was seen by many within the socialist left as a means to escape the narrow, ‘noble heroism’ of direct action and political minoritarianism. While this may be true, one can’t help but think this turn – coupled with the near collapse of the dole and squatting – has, in many ways, had a negative impact on both the political imagination and political opportunities presented to younger activists.”
