I once knew somebody who supposedly thought that ASM was high level.

Cringe “Anarcho” capitalist bullshit

Mother said we were having steamed clams.

No. Unions get the job done. 💪

Yeah… IKEA’S CEO did that… /s

Where is that unearned hate for clowns coming from? :(

We call that a high-effort shitpost.

Yeah, maybe. That’s not the main issue I have with the meme, though.

The state’s gotten better at propaganda

Didn’t say that there’s anything new about it. I said that the meme is stupid, because it ignores that fact.

Still a stupid meme. People are fighting for a better tomorrow. It’s just that the state also cracks down on revolutionary movements (remember Tortuguita and the Stop Cop City protests? Or Lützerath? The fucking Black Panthers?)

Also, activism burnout is also a thing, framing it like people are just too complacent is simply disrespectful. Basically a leftist version of the “still you partake in society” meme.

It also reeks of the defeatist mentality/capitalist propaganda that lefties are fighting for a miserable future. Simply a stupid meme all around and to top it all off on an unfitting date.

Yeah, I made that one up 🙄 /s

Wow. It’s not like the state is quite good at repression. /s

Posting this on International Day of Solidarity with Long Term Anarchist Prisoners is quite tonedeaf, too.

Nice strawman, homie.

With electoralism, people get complacent with watered down reforms and become politically alienated.

Ok. I’ve chosen this one

If progressive policies were ever put into place by an elected body, it was always merely a by-product of already established social consensus formed by bottom-up politics.

The US supreme court isn’t even a democratically legitimized body. Why do you want to take the high road if reactionaries clearly don’t care for the rules?

Voting doesn’t really matter, though.

Quick reminder that in a liberal democracy, social movements are more important for progressive change than electoralism.

Join a union. Be it trade union, housing union, or whatever (or even any affinity group). And get active.

Complaining about election results achieves nothing, but sow despair.
