You know, fuck this, stream of consciousness coming up. Mute/whatever as you see fit.
Trump didn’t win this election. Kamala lost it. The Democrats lost it. Neoliberalism lost it.
Turns out if you’re on team moderate social injustice and your opponent is team total social injustice, you’re playing the social injustice game with the people who wrote the damn book. Who did you think was going to fucking win?
What I’m trying to say is this: Fuck. Neoliberals. (1/13)
Fuck you if you’re happy with billionaires and trillion-dollar corporations as long as you get work for them and take home your six-figure salaries and stock options. Fuck you if you’re fine with Brown people on the other side of the world getting slaughtered in a genocide with your tax dollars as long as you’re safe. Fuck you if you vilify anti-fascists and “the far left” as “just as bad as…” (2/13)
And some of you have the gall – the fucking gall – to blame this on anyone and everyone else when it was you assholes that perpetuated the myth that capitalism and democracy were somehow complementary instead of diametrically opposed. When it was you who made sure that any actual alternative – any alternative that might have negatively impacted your own fucking wallets – didn’t have a hope in hell of being presented to the people. Bernie Sanders? Too fucking radical. (3/13)
In the UK, Jeremy Corbyn? Too fucking radical. Why? Because they threatened your system of moderate social injustice. Because they wanted social justice, period. And you were too fucking afraid of losing your own privilege should that come to pass. (4/13)
This isn’t the worst possible outcome for you. The worst possible outcome would have been someone who threatened the interests of the capitalist system you benefit from coming to power. So great job! You avoided catastrophe. You know as well as I do that you’re going to be fine under fascism. Some of your friends and acquaintances? Not so much. But that’s OK, you can learn to turn a blind eye to their suffering just like you did with the children being slaughtered in Gaza by Israel. (5/13)
Congratulations, you’ve travelled the neoliberalism to fascism pipeline and ended up at your final destination.
And you’re not the first, either. Ever heard of Turkey? Look into its history. See how Erdoğan came to power. If you don’t feel like you’re looking in the mirror, you’re not paying attention. (6/13)
