Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

Anarchist/libsoc. If we’re stuck with a government, it should use its taxes for healthcare and education, not murdering.

  • Republicans are obviously fucking evil. They smile as they pass laws that enable the worst parts of the government to be even worse. And then say it’s because of the woke or some shit.

    And then democrats just… Allow it. They then go “our compromise was that we allowed 2% less people to die from this bill being passed. So only 500K will die from this, instead of 501K.”

    And it’s obviously better by numbers, but that’s all they want. Pure data. They don’t care about the optics of actually trying to stop republicans, they want the look of it.

    They don’t want to stop aiding genocide, pretending they care about BIPOC as they say to bipartisan applause “We need to fund the police!” as they kneel for a photo.

    But pass a law that says “Police should obey the laws they enforce” is impossible for them, somehow, no matter how many votes they get.

    I’ve been swindled too many times. Republicans are obvious in that they hate me. Democrats act like a friend and then ghost you.

    I sure do! So we must:

    • Keep COVID-19 away from the public eye as trump wanted
    • Keep Mexicans in cages like Trump wanted
    • Build the wall using federal funding despite several federal laws saying we can’t, like Trump wanted
    • Allow the erosion of rights for BIPOC like Trump wanted
    • Allow for the removal of rights for women, like Trump wanted
    • Allow for the removal of rights for trans people in red states, like Trump wanted
    • Fund genocide because it’s good for my 3000 year old book, like Trump wanted
    • Boast about how we’ll have the biggest military, like Trump wanted.
    • And do nothing to help the population with inflated prices of housing, rent, medical needs, groceries, and say we did all we could and you should be thankful the economy is doing great, like Trump wanted!

    Anything else is Dreamland! Why wouldn’t I want what Trump stans want? I want to court them so much I’ll vote for anyone who’s on the blue team, no matter how much they hate me!
