to the extent that you’re “coming off as an asshole,” it’s justified, because this is an infuriatingly unjust situation!  And, like you said, most of the people who spout off about it are (willfully) misinformed on the topic...my question always has & always will be:  If the white peoples of Europe/USA felt sooo…

100%  i’ve always said that if the white folks felt so bad about the Holocaust they should’ve donated their own fuckin land for a Jewish state...as always, white folks demand people of color make the sacrifices...

preach!  You’ve made a fan out of me...

“Wake up you idiots. We need you”

“nothing said here will have any bearing on anything, ever.”

so - just taking you at your word - you’re saying that the far left’s “unwillingness to do anything but bitch” is equally bad for the country planet (a lot of you americans really need to broaden your view; the USA’s decisions impact the entire planet) as the neo-nazi conservatives’ “willingness to destroy everything…

...you honestly think it’s the PROGRESSIVE “extremists” who are to blame for America’s coming collapse?  lmao...wow...

yup.  We are.  (and we’re still right about it, lol)

...so, you acknowledge that your Democratic representatives “will never hear [you], don’t care, and will do fuck-all to change [your] situation.”

exactly - the centrist liberals would rather fight progressives than fight neo-nazis!  (i wonder why...)

yup - that’s centrist liberals, for ya!

“it’s always interesting to see how some people will excuse failure after failure after failure and never demand anything more from those with power while shifting the blame leftward and downward (while at the same time reinforcing specious arguments designed to make sure alternative voices are shut out).”

You’ve understood the centrist liberals perfectly.

appealing to these people to stand up for themselves is pointless: They’re in every bit as much denial as the conservatives who maintain that climate change is a “hoax.”  The only people worth your time at this point are people who have been labeled “radical” and banished from the mainstream discourse...

100% - fuck shit up. It’s past time for a civil war (aka Revolution), truth be told...

lol, exactly. i’ll say it again: The Democrats & their few remaining enthusiasts are more interested in fighting the progressive wing of the left than in standing up to the real enemy: the neo-nazi conservatives.

truth be told, the fact that centrist liberals (such as the ones who religiously troll these comment sections) are more interested in attacking passionate progressives instead of standing up to the neo-nazi conservatives tells me that the centrists can sense that their #Time’sUp.

carlin was so insightful - it made his humor that much funnier. The best & brightest always end up withdrawing, to some extent, from the rest of society. In carlin’s case, that took the form of his principled act of not-voting...

i gotta say, though, that i have gotten slightly tired of having to repeatedly tell these naive liberals “i told you so” for the past two years...

glad to see that i’m not the only one...
