Our instincts draw from pretty far back in our biological origins as well. The notion of mimiclike predators is pretty damned ancient and likely a factor for very earliest common ancestry.
President Joe Biden promised Black voters Wednesday that he would appoint progressives to the US Supreme Court if elected to a second term, suggesting he expects vacancies on the high court over the next four years....
He called Trump semi-fascist in 2022 and backed off since. Biden does not push the limits of any power he wields.
You’ll note there has been an endless amount of arguments about Biden’s limitations to his ability and power to effect change, but never that he is pushed up against those limits.
Biden was most popular when he was fighting for Green New Deal and BBB. But his inability to whip his party into voting for the platform the Democratic party ran on was disappointing and he has never recovered.
I hate that his pledge to be a one-term president was the deciding factor for me in 2020. I was so frustrated with the Clyburn maneuver to neutralize Bernie’s momentum that I needed something that made me believe the goddamn reality of this 2024 ticket wouldn’t come to be.
A right winger I know looked at the stats from the FBI, and his only takeaway was “Yeah, but crime is up since 2014. Media just making a fake narrative that only works on leftists.”
The White House on Tuesday indicated an Israeli strike that killed dozens of Palestinians in Rafah did not cross a “red line” that would lead to a change in U.S. policy....
Originating from 4chan means it occupies a little of both.
For example: 4chan intentionally trolled mainstream American media to make the ‘ok’ finger gesture be white supremacist, because it wasn’t a symbol. But then the media reported it was a symbol AND white supremacists started using it. So the ‘ok’ symbol now being a white supremacist symbol is quite real.
Any amount of sewage in a soup makes the soup sewage. Only question is was the soup made with sewage or was the sewage added later. This meme being related to current events indicates the likelihood the creator is aware of the connotation as ‘high.’
Seen some folks suggest Hamas deserves critical support because they’re the lesser of two evils by fighting imperialist/colonialist/western powers. Obviously a controversial take for many, though it doesn’t attribute Hamas as left wing. (Maybe relatively in the plainest sense imaginable?)
Otherwise I have also seen discussion on organizations like the PFLP apparently also fighting in Gaza right now: effectively(?) allied with Hamas. Understandably this works out to them being seen as supporting, if not a part of, Hamas. (Note: I am not sure of evidence of either coordination or fighting between them alike.)
I haven’t seen any calling Hamas as itself left wing, though. Maybe I can see how someone could interpret the above as furthering some leftist theory, or think that’s the argument at work?
Not just that: people who campaigned for him were wary of the risk he might turn right once elected. So he went out early to really convince the leftist coalitions backing him he was legit and definitely not going to do exactly what he did.
