I’m not on Twitter, so I get my news elsewhere, but most of the actual pictures I see are from here. So is there some kind of bias where only the fascist imagery gets posted here in the the dunk tank? Or do the libs scrolling through Ukrainian posts on Twitter literally see and ignore fascist imagery on every single post? Like, if they see 1000 Ukrainian soldiers, will they see 1000 fascist symbols?

Libs always lying to themselves that what there seeing isn't the inevitable endpoint for liberal capitalism

What are they going to do, command the economy not to do that?

The inevitable next step now that capitalism has outlived it's usefulness and can no longer produce utility without being commanded?

Someone should write a book about that.

Marxism-Leninism also has an inevitable endpoint once production is sufficiently developed that the state is no longer necessary as the conditions of reaction (such that create the grounds for rival classes to arise) have been abolished.

Leftists differ from their political rivals by recognizing the inevitability of history. Even social democrats think they can keep going indefinitely.

Radical liberals are conservatives the same way that monarchists hung on to the immortality of political systems that have nothing left to contribute.
