Ew, US politics in my memes community
The Lemmy.ml meme community allows politics, and has a non-political meme community if you want it.
Bottom line every policy platner is calling for, is the exact opposite of nazi rhetoric. Meanwhile musk is retweeting great replacement theory posts and bolstering white suppremicist groups.
In a vacume I'd have given musks Nazi salute a pass. Symbols can be mistaken and mis-given. Were it not at a time when he... literally was not just not banning, or unbanning white supremacists on twitter, but explicitly re-tweeting and bolstering them as well, it wouldn't have meant much.
Musk is in the Maine ballot‽🙃^rhe^
You know that it's a class war, and not a political one...right?
Right?
Class war is political.
What does that even mean? You know that war is the continuation of politics by other means, right? The class war is entirely political.
Platner has presented zero class analysis. 90% of his anti-war position is "we should spend that money at home". And best he's a sheep dog social Democrat like Bernie and AOC. At worst he'll just slide right over his career because he won't actually address his past.
