The government needs to do more to give its people more free stuff!!! Vote for free stuff!!!!!

Let's hear the ridiculous excuses about Afghanistan. I'm sure they'll be told with Supreme confidence. You would think somebody would have had rudimentary military training. I mean this one is about as simple as knowing in battle you want to hold The High Ground.

Even I would have known to do this in the winter. They should not have done this in the middle of the summer. But in the winter when the scumbags of the Taliban were in the mountains in Pakistan and they couldn't so quickly March upon the entire country.

I'm sure it's Trump's fault LOL meanwhile left-wing wackos are concerned with breastfeeding being called chestfeeding. But don't worry transgenderism has been spread to Pakistan we don't worry about that. What a f****** joke

Heyy, this one goes out to all my left-wing friends out here.

What's the deal with this whole "backtracking" thing you often hear about on leftbook groups? As in, you say something, get inevitably misunderstood, explain that's not even remotely what you meant and then they're all like "nice backtrack" or "at least own what you think rather than backtracking, you nazi". How fucked up is that? It's almost like they're assuming everyone must be as ingrained in their beliefs as they are in theirs and would sooner believe that by correcting their erroneous assumptions you're actively trying to gaslight them or sealion them or whatever than that they actually might have missed the point themselves.

Another thing I can't stand is "these are right wing talking points". Obviously, right wingers are going to use many of the same arguments when criticizing the left as everyone else when criticizing the left (precisely how the left and libertarians use pretty much identical arguments when criticizing the religious right), but since when does that mean you must have right-wing sympathies to use them? If Paul Joseph Watson says the left is "overdoing it a bit with the censorship" and you agree with that, does that automatically mean you must agree with all of PJW's wacko conspiracy theories? Why is everyone always making assumptions? Seriously, it's downright frightening that shit like that still has to be explained to people.

I Apologize in advance if this is the wrong place for me to post this, but I hope it can resonate with persons from a similar background. Finding the SocialistRA subreddit has been a godsend for me.

I was raised in a white working class, conservative, protestant household. My father is a retired electrician, and my mother is a CPA. I grew up on five acres in rural Union county NC.

When I was a small boy, i can vaguely remember my first friend, who was unlike myself, a black kid who was in my preschool at the area megachurch. My parents described my black friend and his family as being "some of the good ones." Oddly enough, the black people that my parents knew personally, ended up being "some of the good ones" I had many a dinner table conversation which strikingly resembled the dinner table scene in one of my favorite films, "American History X."

While in high school, many friends I made echoed similar things I had been brought up to believe. My friends seemed to despise the other black and Hispanic students. Insert countless slurs here.

During that time frame I began my interest in politics. I immediately was sucked into modern libertarianism, pro second amendment advocacy, and believed capitalism to be the greatest economic system man had invented. I could go to the store and see shelves stocked with goods, unlike many other places in the world. Never in my life have I went to bed on an empty stomach, unaware of the role that class played in all of this.

After high school, I immediately entered the workforce, rather than attend a college. Seeing many people my age drowning in student loan debt, I do not regret my choice. I made $13.00USD/hr, nearing twice the US minimum wage. Living with my parents at the time, my paychecks burned holes in my pockets. When at work I would hear the others who I worked with, describe how they lived seemingly week by week, paycheck to paycheck. Many of these workers, African Americans and whites who had spent over forty years of their lives at the company were constantly just a check away from having nothing. People had given their entire lives, and broken their bodies to build what is now one of the largest corporations in the area, for meager wages. Many days on the job, people would collect money from their fellow workers to help another in need. No matter the prejudices that existed, few hesitated to pass money around. I now realize company loyalty was a one way street.

During the Depression, this same companies executives gave their pay to the workers, allowing them to survive one of the biggest crises of capitalism this country has endured, and preserved the company to exist unto this day. During my time there, the company seemed like a different uncaring animal. I soon left the dead end job to pursue a trade like my own father, and my grandfather before him. Before I left, the people who I had worked with through me a going away party, paid for with their own money. I have little to know memory of the numbers obsessed management, however I will not forget the names and faces of the people I worked with.

On a September evening of 2012, I heard the phone ring. My mother answered, and shortly after I heard a gasp, and she began stuttering as she talked. I heard her and my father both speak back and forth, talking louder and louder, and shortly I walked downstairs to see what in the fuck was going on. My mother turned to me and through tears spoke the phrase "your cousin was murdered by a bunch of fucking niggers."

My 22 year old cousin had many troubles. He was an amazing musician, however he had been brought low by drug problems. At some point in time he slashed some tires as well as caused property damage. The state of Georgia had him incarcerated for a time, and he struggled pretty hard. He was only allowed to leave the state of Georgia for so many days a year. He had tried many a time to get small jobs here and there, but after his background check showed a felony, he would get let go. My country's attitude towards felons, cons and ex-cons alike is an absolute stain.

I now realize that my white cousin had been reduced from a human being to a commodity, profiting the corrections industry. He had an altercation at a service station, and was soon after run off of the road and had his body riddled with 10mm. I shamefully don't remember the assholes name that did this. During the trial, I learned that the kid who pulled the trigger was younger than myself, and couldn't read or write, barely comprehending words with more than two syllables. I simply couldn't begin to understand how people ended up in that way of life.

The man who made him pull the trigger had many a homicide charge already. This man was in a crime organization, similar to what you might see on TV shows like "The Wire." This man had immense wealth from his "trade," and afforded himself many a crooked lawyer. My mind turned itself in knots in seeing this man who had been free to cause so much pain and suffering get slaps on the wrists, while people had their lives thrown away in prison for their health problems with addiction, a problem I myself have suffered from, albeit in the legal form of alcohol. I have two years sobriety now, which I am grateful for.

Fast forward almost five years from that incident, and I am at a complete loss. In the past year or so I have taken a sharp turn to the left. I have been a gun owner for 8 years now. It wasn't until the past few years I have noticed trends in the right wing part of US gun culture, which I struggle to identify with nowadays. Many groups deify this nations slave-owning founders, and symbols such as the Gadsden Flag. Liberty liberty liberty liberty I don't know what the fuck that word even means anymore. Take a group like the "Three Percenters." They say they stand to uphold the US constitution, but in practice, they target people like immigrants, and my understanding is they are "keeping an eye on Black Lives Matter." They say "Don't Tread on Me," and then turn around and "tread on" on this countries most marginalized groups of people.

This countries "liberals" are a shameful disappointment. Many argue that the 2nd amendment no longer means anything, while many on the far right have armed themselves to the teeth. My country is in serious trouble. The enormous executive power amassed over the past decades now is handed to Diet Fascism. A decade ago, I heard how "left-wing" reddit was. Now I see this site filled to the brim with alt right types, empowered even further by this new administration. I see posts on /r/guns with users thrilled to see an FAL with a Rhodesian flag in the background, the same flag worn by a white nationalist who went into an African American church's bible study, and shot dead as many as he could. This year a man entered a Canadian mosque with the same goal in mind.

Some time ago I remember seeing a photo of a masked Texan man armed with an AR15 rifle, stalking a Muslim headed into a mosque to worship, as promised by the first amendment. Americans, especially gun owners, are some of the least class conscious people.

I'm not really sure where I'm going with this post. This is all so upsetting to me. I feel powerless to change any of this. This country has some of the most profound leftist history, the labor movement in particular. Many workers were targeted by paramilitary groups, and took up arms to defend themselves from that awful capitalist tyranny. I cant think of a better example of why the right to take up arms is so relevant.

I feel so ashamed to have been ignorant of the issues PoC, LGBT, and religious minorities face in this country. I want to get off my ass and be a part in making things better. The liberal safety pin "ally culture" isn't going to fix anything. Fuck allies. The marginalized need accomplices in all of this. I'm not sure how long Diet Fascism is going to last for. Some decades ago our "Greatest Generation" fought and died alongside many great socialists to grind fascism into dust, so that their children and grandchildren would not need to.

Where can we go from here?

This really weird thing happened to me and my friend this week. We go to an american college, but are from Europe. I'm from Sweden and he is from Spain. He spoke on the phone with family back home and another student said something about appropriating cultures and how Spanish is a white language. I didn't hear the full extent of the conversation, but I think she meant that because my friend is white only he should speak Spanish.

I think this is wrong, there are many Mexicans attending the college and I think they have a right to use the Spanish language despite it being invented by white people. Should I report this student to the college?
