I see they're running with the "fascism is rising because of this one dipshit and his magic speeches" explanation of world events again.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

This is how Anastasia portrayed the Russian Revolution, lol. Libs still haven't graduated from a literal children's movie understanding of the world.
I remember even as a kid thinking that was bullshit. They'd show Hitler speaking and say he was this master orator. I watched iy and was like, yeah no
Look, I'm going to say something a little controversial and unpopular especially on a place like Hexbear but it's true and it has to be said, I never liked Hitler.

Yeah, that occurred to me while reading some of the response to the thread. No analysis of what fascism is, it's just when the Wrong Guy gets elected. If any of them took their Great Man beliefs seriously, they'd be conspiring to assassinate Trump.
People from other countries scared of alt right rising there due to Trump
lmao I live in one of those countries and our fascists are 100% home grown, thank you very much. Amerikkkan exceptionalism at its absolute worst, we've had this shit here way before Trump was anything more than a weirdo celebrity
Also Bidens policy is already brutalizing leftists lol
blatant which ones they're oh so concerned about too

Oh, coincidentally, I found this version while scrolling through my 2020s memes folder today. 
These people can never fail. Only the left can fail by not supporting Genocide Joe, who demands law and order as state thugs beat up the protestors. Every time his polls slip, he acts more like Trump. Trump supporters will never support him and I will never support someone that tries to make them happy.
And the wild thing remains - it's always our fault. Never the Dems for being wildly unpopular. Never dem voters for failing to mobilize their own people. And never ever anyone's fault for failing to do anything to mobilize the vast number of American non voters. And, of course, it's never the gop's fault.
It's us. It's always us.
Blaming communists and fascism, name a more iconic duo
in this cartoon the liberals decide to cower while the fascists purge their staunchest opposition.... so yeah, checks out
even in their wildest fantasies they cant imagine themselves stepping up and fighting for anything
"No Dr Jung I understand why I'm impotent in real life, I'm talking to you to figure out why it happens in my dreams too."
People of other countries scared of trump
Biden is bombing yemen, escalating the Strait Crisis, worsen the situation in Korea to the point both govs dont want reunification anymore, and is still continuing the blockade of cuba, trump will just continue biden's policy
Ukraine is currently losing to Russia and if biden wins they will still continue to lose
and for palestinians Biden is already sending 1 billion dollars to Isntreal so trump will do the same he just wont lie about trying to negotiate a cease fire.
Libs will say anything and support genocide just so people vote for their favorite fascist

as ever, the analysis that libs find settler-colonial genocide acceptable (Churchill) as long as it's not happening inside the imperial core (Hitler) to people that look like them, cuts through their tortured pseudo-ethical posturing like a laser.
Yeah when Trump wins, anyone left of MTG will be treated like the Palestinians are treated now. You guys don’t understand this year is the endgame for the US. You guys will too be busy fleeing from Trump’s Schutzstaffel to even think for a second about Gaza. It’s easy: If Trump wins, the world will fall into total chaos and Gaza will be everywhere, nobody will care about them anymore. If Biden wins, we’ll still have at least an opportunity to improve their situation.
There is absolutely no way they believe this, is there? Liberals have become 2008 era conservatives who thought Obama would put them in FEMA camps. The federal government is far too lazy and inept to do anything like that domestically. Also have these liberals not seen the police brutality on college campuses over the past few weeks? The American SS is already here, it's the NYPD.
Not to mention how dismissive this is of Palestinians. They're being carpet bombed right now. Imagine an American saying we're worried of the same thing happening to us. It's ludicrous.
And if liberals truly worry about this, that Trump will create apartheid and begin slaughtering people domestically en masse (more than people already are killed through poverty and police brutality). The response shouldn't be to vote for Biden, it should be a call to dismantle the entire American state apparatus because it shouldn't exist
There is absolutely no way they believe this, is there?
If they believed it was true, then they should be organizing insurgents and guerillas to fight the feds like resistance fighters in countries occupied by germany in WW2. The fact that they clearly have no actual resistance plan means they either don't believe that Trump is as bad as they claim or they plan on doing nothing as he sets up death camps, much like how they're not doing anything about the camps on the Mexican border right now
Above all else, we must trust the process and be civil to the people we deeply believe will immediately create roving murder squads to kill us all.

plus even if Biden wins they must believe the next republican will do this too, right? forever and ever.
do they just expect democrats to win every single time? no such thing has ever happened in history and if it does then they get a one-party state.
and their precious "democracy" (their conception of it) is destroyed anyways.
You guys don’t understand this year is the endgame for the US.
"You guys don't understand that joe biden is basically tony stark in this infinity war"
Looking forward to being told how 2028 is the endgame and then how 2032 is the endgame
Certain portions of the left would rather spit in their own eye for unrealistic principles, even if it means that a worse alternative is the result.
Stopping a genocide is a unrealistic principle you guys

frat bros being deputized to beat protestors under biden
what is brownshirts?
and no, trump couldn't harvest them as mussolini did (cause he is less erudite). but billionaires buying teams of "beat those guys up", coupled with increased union activity, astonishing wealth inequality, and petit bourgeoisie looking not so hot (but not too bad yet) is kinda exactly the cocktail for fascism (on low simmer, as both union activities are kinda low and amazon haven't started fucking bar owners and car dealers)
you've got to admit it's kind of amazing to watch these libs try to walk the tightrope to appear to be the most radical while just taking in the minimum quantity of information outside their shared fantasies
or how even in their own cartoons they are nowhere to be found actually fighting for anything. where are they when the leftist is being brutalized? wincing silently out of frame somewhere

Liberals have been indoctrinated out of object permanence. This is why they cannot fathom a political project beyond the next election cycle and why they are easily led around by these scare tactics.
Kill the liberal inside of you!
To paraphrase Yanis Varoufakis, we all have a little Hitler inside us that we must kill every day.
neither are good or popular, but only votes for trump or biden matter this election
only by voting for biden can we save US democracy
Idk how so many libs can believe both of these at the same time
I think it's honestly the case that libs think Americans have democracy because they can cast a vote. The content is irrelevant. You can go to a polling place and vote this democracy. Pay no heed to literally anything else.
Of course only in America does that count. China is evil compoudlist even though they can cast ballots.

it's cute they think it's LEGISLATION that will do this and not just like the regular old paramilitary state sanctioned violence that will actually happen
like they think trump is gonna pass some "kill the leftists" bill? I guess? lol
privileged and safe
likely a white person
likely lives in the west
likely cis and straight
But no, I, the non-binary brown person, am privileged and safe
I am writing in the Ghost of Vladimir Lenin and there is nothing these libs can do.
A red star is rising 
On another non-lemmy website I was told that Macklemore's release of Hind's Hall is suspicious because he performs in Saudi Arabia.

I unironically love this little meme; there is so much *sniff* Ideology 
buried within. The post-modern pastiche of a recycled meme encodes the evergreen liberal shaming-as-praxis, ignorance of history, and the obliviousness to their own behavior. They could post this in 2020 as well as 2024, and probably beyond. It truly never gets old. It's almost like the whole artistic vehicle is its own critique. It is perfect! It is art! It is liberal Zeitgeist dripped directly from their own subconcious!
an admin in an FB politics group I sometimes lurk (I know, I know...) refreshed a thread about Biden vs Trump from 4 years ago. It literally took me like 10 minutes before I realized this was not even about this election, and I only realized it because of the timestamps. It was all the exact same smug liberals talking of the most important election of everybody's lives.
One funny thing was that some fresh new comments were posted in there, like "so how about that universal healthcare, did you get any yet?..."

Imagine caring who wins between Trump and Biden.
These debates are, to begin with, meaningless. If the entire left, as a block, voted for Biden, it wouldn't move the needle either way, there's not enough of them. People act like these are elections in Kurdistan or something. "The extreme left" are part of the least populous generation with the least access to the right to vote to begin with and live in mostly non-battleground states. This is on par with chiding never trump republicans for not voting for Biden. If Biden loses it will be for the same reason the Hillary lost: for not appealing to the greatest voting block in America: the non-voter.

They're so excited to say I told you so, while people are dragged to death camps.
Like you're worried about fascism? Look in the mirror.

If I hear "first past the post" one more time, I'm going to fuck some shit up.
Also, no lib anywhere has a plan to fight fascism. They have no plans before or after. They're just gonna roll over and accept it because they are truly the ones with comfortable lives and nothing to lose.

Technically speaking the best move for me as a white male would be to support Trump. Instead I vote for Democrats hoping for positive changes for all people.
bravest settler
You see the only way out of this 2 party system that even we admit is not ideal is to vote for either of the parties that will defend the 2 party system to the death, thereby legitimising the 2 party system further.
We can work on making things better once we get through this existential threat, which is what we've been saying every election since forever. But this time it's really real, guys.
Thank Allah I am not American.
