26. This is untrue misinformation and existentially stupid
Sat Jul 12, 2025, 06:22 AM
Jul 2025

The statement from DSA strongly condemned the October 7TH attack and called for the end of violence against all people.

Trying to gin-up the claim that the "left" is antisemitic does serve one purpose though. It helps the fascist reich-wing win political elections and power.

We are witnessing, with our own eyes, America descending into violent fascism. We are witnessing, with our own eyes, the creation of a reich-wing armed, masked Gestapo security force, snatching people off the streets based on their skin-tone, political philosophy, or name.

This descent to fascism and creation of a reich-wing secret police, was made possible, in part, because a certain percentage of voters bought the lie that "both sides are the same".

The most despicable, disgusting, corrupt, lawless, racist piece of shit to have darkened America's door, is able to drag this country to fascism and create his secret stasi police force, because a certain percentage of the voters bought the "both-sides are just as bad" bullshit.

Because of this "both-sides" horseshit, the political philosophy that could protect the rule of law and justice, IS COMPLETELY LOCKED OUT OF THE POWER REQUIRED TO STOP THESE FASCIST FUCKSTICKS.

I have NO doubt about who, or what the "real" threat to America's values and morals are. It's not a couple thousand stupid college students chanting ignorant shit!

I know who and what the enemy to freedom, justice, equality, peace, law, morals, ethics, decency, compassion, integrity, respect and courage is...and it isn't the left!

It's like watching the Civil Rights marches of the 50s and 60s, and being told that; "the real problem is anti-white discrimination on the 'left'".

Despite the fact that there is no comparison between the left, or reich-wing governing ACTIONS, I have the "pleasure" of having to see this "both-sides" horseshit promoted on DU.

I can see with my own eyes, and feel in my bones what the reich-wing wing is transforming this country into, yet, the "real danger" is being promoted as "college kids on campus".

Unfortunately, a big enough percentage of voters believed that shit...enough to put true violent fascists in power!

It's OK though, at any moment, these fascists are going to quit being fascist, right?

Trust them, their college kids never said a bad word about the Jews. I am sure they will be "nice" when using their unfettered power.
