I'm unsettled by idiots on social media
eastend666
Ya think?
BenjaminPannell
I wish they were as unsettled by white nationalists as they were by National Socialists.
SarahMemeRunner
As a democratic socialist, I am deeply disturbed by the rise of racist nationalists!
RXJ235231
What are we supposed to do? Go to war with almost every NATO country?
ColClone54
I think maybe, just maybe Democratic Socialists are a tad better than those ol' Nationalists Socialists whose asses we kicked decades ago.
jessika95ve
And it's funnier because white nationalists are real but the democratic "socialists" are just a tale for scary people.
CoarseAndSalty
I wish people who were unsettled by Democratic Socialists knew anything about socialism, or the civics of their own Country.

IsendDickPicsIfYouAskNicely
They projected a whole lot and they sure did love saying "cuck" ... Just saying
Trelkeen
Why not both?
georgedragonslayer
I'm pretty sure that sounded different in his mind before he said it. Surely? Maybe?
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
The problem is our media has warped perspectives so badly they don't even know what's real and what isn't. They are living in a chaos world.
gatherer818
I think a big part of the problem is that conservatives are constantly told they're racist for being conservative, so when you point out 1/2
gatherer818
an actual racist, they just assume you aren't being truthful. A "boy who cried wolf" scenario, basically.
grangdom
They are not socialists. Or democratic socialists.
IAmNotNSAsodonotbeparanoid
There are. This type of absolutism is unsettling.
Asteroidrules
I wish people would stop falling for ideologies that almost destroyed the world before they catastrophically self destructed.
namesused
I’m FAR more unsettled by white nationalists than by Democratic Socialists, if that helps.
RaineGrae
Does he mean white supremacists? I mean, isnt a white nationalist literally just a white person who cares about their nation? any nation?
RaineGrae
English is my 2nd language, i feel like im missing something. I googled it, but i got the definition i thought it was and it seems.. fine?

Euchre
The 'living wage' issue is greatly because people DON'T get 40 hrs a week. Part time is predominant. If everyone got 40hrs @ $7.25, then we
Euchre
would be far less likely to feel like everyone needs to make $15/hr. $7.25 is still too low, but $10-12/hr would probably be the target.
FatherAlexanderAnderson
"No, I hadnt any idea that my supporters were white supremacists or Nazis." ~ every current member of the GOP.
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
"If you even dare prove that we're following Nazi ideology I will deem you a radical leftist and refuse to see your evidence."
tacoprincess
I agree with you but I more wanted to reply because our usernames fit well together.
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
Sounds almost like a subtle marriage proposal.
samwyze
A much needed alliance in order to hold back the Tapas Empire's advances.
wordbootybooboo
Then they would be unsettled by themselves and honestly that is not a reasonable thing to ask.

Wtf is wrong with people?

Years upon years of consuming Fox "News"

Fox News is categorize as entertainment and not news
BeautifulSound
They don't know that

onsamyj
Spy R.I.P. Sorry, I do that almost unconsciously. And they are right, of course.
fetetert
These two, I like.
SavagePatchKids
I can't wait until a republican unironically holds a similar sign thinking they're being discriminated
BeautifulSound
Dammit. Stop foreshadowing, they always do this unironically.
Euchre
I'd like it if more people registered Republican would hold up such a sign, because they're tired of the infestation in the party. Or leave
Euchre
the party, like I did, because the party 'leadership' abides the racist, fascist, white 'Christian' nationalists.
Counterfit
Andy Ngo's brown nosers use #stopasianhate on Twitter to deflect criticism of that fascist.
Counterfit
Curious whether the downvote comes from a fascist or someone unfamiliar with a horrible example of a human that tries to get people killed
MyFinalForm
At least that way we could hate everybody equally
ClericOfTheProsperityGospel
Well one has the scary SOCIALIST word. Which you've received loads of propaganda against. In school mostly. But also movies.
Emjayen
Listening to American Republicans it really does seem many of them get their ideas of the world from corny 80s action films.
Raggedsrage
No, I can think for myself. I understand the word socialism. I do not want it, thank you. No I don’t believe public works are socialism.
ProppaGanda
Unless it's "national socialism" which is deeply protected for of free speech, heil h-wait what
subrosaflorens
It also has that scary democratic word.
iamthisguy247
And nationalist, has nation in it. So that’s nice. And you can use the letters to spell anal, which is also nice.
DirtyBernie
Caper2566
And history.
MargaretThatchersCorpse
The CIA was founded by nazis.
NomDeImguerre
As a European, neh.
Escape2Fantasy
People need to realize Socialism is the future. Only socialism can keep the ultra rich in check and provide for the poor. Vote Dem always.
rossimus
No one wants Socialism. People want public services to substitute for the failures of market-driven services.
ClericOfTheProsperityGospel
No one can ever agree on what socialism means. Lots of folk want that word. For some it means that stuff. For some it doesnt.
ClericOfTheProsperityGospel
I certainly want a more scandinavian public services type model. But I also want extreme limiting of corporate freedoms and power.
Jatok
I mean. Not always. But for now yeah, probably.
Turbolibros
They react as they were taught.

BioGoji1989
You wanna know the strangest irony regarding Socialism in the United States?
BioGoji1989
The Police. They are a socialist construct... and conservatives love them. Also ironic is that the state of US police today 1/2
BioGoji1989
Would be the greatest argument AGAINST a socialist policy like that because of how corrupt our police have become.
Euchre
Real democratic socialist countries have better police than here, generally, though. Ours are like a *different* kind of 'socialist'.
kylozodaclown
Also actual pedophiles like Matt Gaetz
Subsound
Qanon has been strangely quiet about the pedos in their own ranks...
kylozodaclown
Spicy. The bots are active. Either that or other pedos.
Subsound
I've definitely noticed the abusive comments towards poor people and victims of police shootings to be really bad lately
kylozodaclown
Like a wounded, caged animal, they rage at the fact that they’re both wrong and ignorant. It’s common to be angry at stuff you don’t follow
Subsound
I can imagine all sorts of whys...but I'm tired of thinking about sadists. When they need help most I hope they meet someone like them
wheelerws2718
Or how about National Socialists?
SaintSleepyWeasel
National WHITE socialist Supremists.
eadanke
"I think you mean our racism comrade."
KoalaOnTheJuice
Let's not even get into that again..
RainbowAmoeba
National Socialists and Socialists is like comparing mayonnaise to miracle whip.
RainbowAmoeba
Those are two very different things, and people have strong opinions on both.
RainbowAmoeba
And just so I’m clear the perfect amount of Nazi friends to have is 0.
HeraldofOmega
Better than that evil HELLmans.
RainbowAmoeba
One of the first things I found out when I moved to AZ is branded items are named differently. It’s Best Foods instead of Hellman’s here.
MargaretThatchersCorpse
Well ya see national socialists had notoriously anti-socialist policies like privatization of nationalized industries and union busting
Euchre
When the right wing goes so far out, it wraps back around and connects with the left. Politics is really more of a triangle than a line.
MargaretThatchersCorpse
Politics is more like a box with 4 quadrants than a line or a triangle
MargaretThatchersCorpse
They made zero connection with the left, Left Authoritarianism is also bad but has radically different reasons for it being bad and
MargaretThatchersCorpse
Radically different policies.
SisterMidnight

The saddest part of this photo are the 80s pump sneakers making this photo, like what’s happening today, too recent.
FreePalestineAndTheWorldFromIsrael
Jesus. What do you even do in that position, what do you do or say?
Xdeddc
Tell the kid to not be so obvious. He can always just be a cop later.
chazthapaladin
That cop looks like he's debating how worth it it'd be to punt the ku klux kiddo before being murdered by pretty much everyone else there.
spamsmells
Yeah cuz that will teach him not to be racist...
Arcrosis
Looks like he understands its not the kids fault.
redpandabanana
Aww look at the little raciest gnome
ErniesWidow
Can you imagine what is going through that officer's mind? Probably want s to remove the baby from parental custody. I know I do.
KoalaOnTheJuice
Never seen that photo, and it's surely a prizewinner? Does anyone know the context?
dcostanza1
Read the article. It won a minor prize and the photographer never got a staff job. Now a cabinetmaker (and I hope a great one!)
Browniesandwholemilk
It was a prizewinner. And there's definitely a story... You should just reverse search the picture in google.
KoalaOnTheJuice
Awkward on mobile. If anyone does want to enlighten my annoying lazy ass I'd be very grateful.

Wow very sad to see how little acclaim he received for it. One of the greatest photos I've ever seen.
KoalaOnTheJuice
Awesome thanks! For others like me turns out it's a Klan rally in Gainsville Georgia, 1992. Article worth reading in full, thanks for that.
imnotsureaboutthat
White nationalism is evil, a socialist economy tends to lead to economic collapse, why can’t I be unsettled by both?
mynameisdallas
Bc democratic socialism does not equate to a socialist economy.
imnotsureaboutthat
Yeah, it does. Social democracy is capitalism with strong safety programs, democratic socialism is a socialist economy with Dem government.
GrandProtectorDark
It doesn't
imnotsureaboutthat
What is it then?
[deleted]

imnotsureaboutthat
Still has one? Cuba, and maybe Loas and Vietnam. China continues to move away from it. Most of the eastern block was, USSR.

imnotsureaboutthat
I mean, I don’t see a whole lot of them around anymore, and Cuba is pretty horrendous to it’s population.

Zipbang
Whats a socialist economy?
imnotsureaboutthat
Public ownership of industry.
Cheomesh
Is a company with shares not publicly owned?
imnotsureaboutthat
In a different sense, yes. Under socialism, you don’t buy and sell shares, either the government owns it or you have a co-op model where>>
imnotsureaboutthat
Profit and power is distributed equally among the co-op. If you leave the co-op, your out. You don’t buy and sell shares.
Zipbang
And how does that lead to economic collapse?
imnotsureaboutthat
Usually through failures of centers planning instead of relying on market forces.
GrandProtectorDark
So your problem is planned economy, not socialism
Zipbang
So if they just relied on market forces they'd be fine? Good to know you've fixed the problem!
Cheomesh
Pretty sure the corporation I work for plans everything centrally.
