      No, they honestly just have no idea what we believe. They don’t live in reality, they occasionally visit and make wild assumptions

        Steelman argument: There are just as many of them holding their noses and voting for fascists because of FPTP. They just have far fewer anti-fascist candidates against FPTP.

        Fair argument: What do you call someone who only voted for Hitler because they didn’t like Hindenburg? A Nazi.

          I don’t think that’s really true or helpful.

          These people aren’t Nazis, they’re just stupid. What they actually want is what we want… To be squeezed less by billionaires

          Not to be confused with the actual Nazis, there are definitely actual Nazis too. But not that many of them

          This right here can not be overstated.

          We ought to be teaching civics every year of school, not just one year hopefully mandated by the state board of education.

          Stop romanticizing it and teach what it is and how it works.

          Then so so so many of the things people think they might know or believe in because of vibes that some talking head generated over the course of years would be refuted easily by common knowledge.

    I feel like I’m crazy as this was one of the people exposed as a Russian plant when Twitter briefly showed where you posted from. Why does anyone care what a foreign agent thinks about their country? The account is designed to destabilize the country and sow confusion. Bravo, it worked, and here everyone is still falling for the BS?! WTF!

      Because the account is probably trying get people to forget it’s a Russian plant by seeming remorseful and ‘real’. In a few months I’m sure it’ll be wielding it’s influence over the thousands of followers in a nice Russian propaganda way

        Or because Russia’s intelligence is already on the next step of its plan, where it destabilizes Trump in favor of another fascist, inducing even more chaos as internal fights erupt in the GOP’s ranks.

    Says a lot about America that she couldn’t just say “she was wrong”. She first had to attack the people she doesn’t agree with. This image encapsulates just how broken the US is.

    I don’t think that this fits here. This is someone saying they’re sorry that they didn’t listen, not someone saying how could this happen.

    Why are we highlighting this? Arent there any activist or organizations who are more deservant of our attention?

    Pathological malignant narcissist’s first attempt at apologizing for anything serious in their life.

    Rating: 0.5/10 (F–)

    Only not 0.0 because it is at least an attempt, technically, they did at least identify some things that they did… but they don’t actually directly express regret for them… though you could maybe, possibly, conclude that they mean to imply this.

    Every single other element of this is abysmal and indicates insincerity, that its more of a panic response than anything meaningful.

    They have not done any self reflection.

    They have no understanding of what fundamentally caused them to make the error.

    They don’t care at all to have an actual dialogue as they are just asserting what the other person thinks, and attack the person they’re apologizing to in the ‘apology’.

    Its obvious that they are furious that they’ve got no other choice than to admit some kind of being wrong if they want to be taken any kind of seriously about anything, ever again.

    … and they obviously do not present a plan for their own self reflection / self improvement going forward.


    It is absurd and laughable that they think this consitutes their eyes being open.

    And that’s all assuming this is any kind of genuine or from an actual real person.

    This is an admission of guilt, like a child getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar, not an actual apology though, as they’re barely cognizant of what they’ve done, what needs making amends, how that would be done.

    Laughably pathetic, when considered as if it was a genuine apology.

    The real Trump Derangement Syndrome is this, is willingly joining a hateful death cult, and then doing hateful death cult things, with glee, and justifying them through vicious lies and nearly a decade of abdicating the responsibility every adult has to think critically for themselves.

    Seems like he could potentially be reached. Trump isn’t who Fox News said he was and neither are we.
