it really fits this era of fascism: vapid but colourful liberal platitudes being painted over with the gray mundanity of hypercapitalist rot

Mostly it's funny because this could just be a shitty political cartoon but it's real .
oh no the meaningless virtue signaling is going away!
"Sorry brown people, we tried everything. We even put words on that wall over there!"
If anything this is just showing how performative that shit was lol
100% performative and anybody with a spec of brain matter knows the FBI is none of these things, but i still prefer it be up on the wall because i know there are people who get pissed off seeing it.
I don't prefer it because it conflates the fascist empire with LGBTQ+ struggles and poisons it. The further separated they are the better, then things can align correctly into two discrete sides that can engage in struggle instead of one disgusting mess that is stuck in contradictory stasis.
The more we combine progressive ideas with the fascist death state, the more that's going to backfire on us when it comes crashing down
that’s a good point but also mad hogs are funny
Yeah I can see 
here, on the one hand I don't like them blatantly lying like that but they do that all the time anyway and on the other hand it did serve as a nice little humiliation ritual for the worst boomer chuds
I prefer it this way
Could have chosen a better colour though.
Couldn't have chosen a better color to represent themselves tho
What about white? 
All government buildings go with the worst, blandest color imaginable.
diversity and equality as they murdered a drugged fred hampton next to his pregnant wife
America has fallen our murder agency is painting over the live laugh loves
Tbf this makes it easier to radicalize liberals since they can't fall on the "the FBI is different now because they believe in principles" excuse, which, I mean, that's what this stupid performative shit was designed for.
They'll be back on that beat the second there is a blue man who puts up the nice words again
We say this as if most here weren't berniecrats in '16 and the majority was still electorialist up until he got fucked in the primaries in '20. Tons of users have posted about how they've become more radicalises after X event or year or whatever.
Yeah we shouldn't trust liberals, but pretending like Trump isn't creating circumstances for radicalisation is, at best, silly.
This is a fair point. I should try to be less pessimistic. The majority will return to brunch, but many will also hopefully reevaluate their politics, like many posters here did.
I like to look at the summer riots of 2020. Sure they got coopted and memoryholed, but it's not like people weren't out in the streets actually doing actual stuff, and since then the general vibe has been much.more antagonistic. Since then we've also had more unionisation efforts. I really think Biden was a more competent ghoul than many here give him credit for. He came in right as things were about to pop off.
A lot of people got good experience with organising and other stuff, and that hasn't been forgotten.
Bidens 2020 campaign was a masterful recuperation of the energy in the streets. And I'm honestly still mad at it, and mad at the liberals who decided that things were fine now.
If you sort by controversial you can find hexbear strugglesessions about Biden being a harm reduction candidate. I also made a post gathering a bunch of those kind of discussions a while ago. Its one of my highest voted posts, if you look at my profile (just telling you this for if you're curious and wanna look about).
I remember some Biden struggles, but people were so upset about Bernie and interested in the protests that I never thought that was really a serious position. But I generally avoid the struggle threads so idk.
I do remember the podcasts around that time where everyone had to hash out the Correct Position(tm) on voting for Biden lol.
I joined right after Biden had already won but I remember seeing the last embers of that struggle session when I got here
I know but it's hard, maybe I need to 
and try taking a break from being pissed off at liberals
Being pissed off at liberals is what this place is all about, but we could all do with some grass
Agreed. For me 2016 lit the flame, and 2020 poured on the gasoline.
Watch the federal space. Now that Elon is X-ifying their liberal 'we love diversity and support the veterans' playground, I think many who were disillusioned under Biden will now have to contend with the thought that maybe it's not the party but the system.
right, there's always "one of the good ones"
This is the issue of the liberal conscious. They don't see that its the structures of these institutions are what produce the "bad ones" and they think all that's needed is to put the "good ones" in charge
Live. Laugh. Love. Assassinate MLK Jr.
is made specifically for these people
Oh no, not the Bureau of entrapment, domestic terrorism, and extrajudicial surveillance!
Anyway
Me when the leftist murder organization is openly being racist (they've been like this since they've existed)
Gilding, but with progressive thoughts instead of gold.
thought he was at the Tate Modern
Seriously looks like a highschool.
Imperial high schools have been modeled after prisons for a few decades now - fitting how the model of late-collapse architecture is a bastion of slavery.
Damn, Trump must have really hated the CIA's cisgender millennial with imposter syndrome ad
the one thing he has in common with everyone else
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I don't know, i don't think it costs millions considering all I see is an organization taking off its faux progressive performing mask.
That looks like maybe a couple dozen words max, their counting is bad
Especially since the FBI favors fourteen words.
The comment section on TikTok was doomerism-inducing.
Swathes of idiots clapping like seals about how “based” this is.
Tiktok has changed itself to kiss Trump's ring like a codependent person's willingness to comply with their abuser's desires; it's probably best to stay away.
