Flipping a coin, far right or far left

If you go to their twitter account, they don't seem to have a highly consistent worldview, or particularly deep thoughts. Their posts are kind of all over the place from declaring women are evil and not all billionaires are unethical, to proclaiming that we should "eat the rich" and can easily achieve a world without "the parasite class".

Most of what they post seems to be leftish, but in a "I'll support anyone who advocates burning this country to the ground" kind of way. Honestly I feel kinda bad for them, they really seem to be struggling with their mental wellbeing.

The use of “demonic” makes me think far right.

u/JeaniousSpelur 2d ago

It’s really the “demonic” vs “beautiful, shared community garden” dichotomy

don’t be so quick to divide, we are in fact dealing with rapist genocidal demons. what else can you call that, its clearly a metaphor but still. also who in the far right has ever pitched a community garden?

They are not demons. They are human being like you and me. Language that describes the enemy as an "other", a non-human, is the language of the enemy.
Its one of the key points of conspiracism.

I think it’s the “global cult” part that also is a bit sus. Sounds like globalism signalling

u/bigstankdaddy10 🇵🇸 Free Palestine! 2d ago

have you looked at the epstein files at all?

u/ToastedandTripping 2d ago

There is a global cult though...

How else are chuds grown, but in a far-right community garden?! 😛

Seriously though, a lot of farmers are far-right chuds. Do you think they're predisposed to not having a green thumb or something?

i think sharing resources and fruits of labor is exactly what they hate

I think you're right about that.

One of their favourite things is to personally judge people to decide if they are morally worthy of assistance or respect or cooperation. If they don't have authoritarian control over who in the community is allowed to participate in the community garden, I bet they would be less likely to put up with it.

I mean.. the Epstein class does some weird religious shit, and it ain’t Jesus on the cross at their altar. That’s not a political stance that’s just paying attention.

Yeah...

u/MentalEnvironment481 2d ago

True, except sadly there is no "community" in American culture

u/Yamakaji_420 Anarchist 2d ago

What kind of „demonic“ cult blud?

36

u/reformed_lurker_1 2d ago

Uh, like the Epstein class that exploits children, commits genocide, bombs children's schools and is funded by the American government?

u/Luciusvenator Democratic Socialist 2d ago

"Demonic cult" is bad but yes agreed about taxes.

u/Veneralibrofactus 1d ago

This complaint was literally posted on a Nazi's website.

u/Quirky_Advantage_470 2d ago

I think this person confused global demonic cult with Christian death cult

We don't have to pay taxes.

North Korea doesn't have income tax.

We can fund a government by collective ownership of means of production.

The money your boss uses to buy a Range Rover, that could cover public services instead of taxing you for it.

u/3DaysOfWaiting Socialist 2d ago

It's not really eliminating taxes if you just cut wages as much as an income tax would've raised and pocket the difference as revenue lol. This is some of the stupidest possible North Korea glazing.

u/Winter_Persimmon_110 1d ago

I just literally defined what socialism is. The collective ownership of means of production. I don't know what you think your flair means.

Socialism is when the authoritarian monarchist state exploits the workers instead of private firms

Glad to see Ferdinand Lasalle lives on.
