I’m fairly convinced trumpism is a psy op by the rich to delegitimise anti establishment movements and guide them towards fascism to control them. The majority of trumpists have the right idea, decapitate the oppressive capitalfascist system. But they took the wrong turn. I bet that is by design.
In some ways, that’s exactly how fascism grows. Take the failures of liberal democracy, borrow some arguments from the left, and then make a sudden right turn.
The Nazis had arguments that started with “banks are driving you into debt that you can never repay” and then followed up with “and they’re all run by Jews”. They can’t point to any actual solution, because that would undermine their system of control.
The right is notorious for co-opting revolutionary language and using it to push their own narrative.
It is absolutely by design.
Member how they told the National Guard not to show up, specifically?
I watched that whole thing from start to finish, disappointed that they never machine-gunned that entire crowd. The only thing smooth-brained dipshits like this understand is a solid steel-toed kick to the teeth
…do I see a Japanese and Korean flag in there? Is there something about maga cultists I don’t know?
There’s this weird overlap between the Moonies, The Epoch Times, and the American Far Right. I think the Shen Yun group is also involved. They’ll all hard core anti-CCP and went far, far too into Authoritarian Capitalism as a result. The Moonies were the cult that Shinzo Abe had connections to and his assassin’s mother gave all the family’s money to.
If it wasn’t all documented, I’d think it’s a nonsense conspiracy theory. But it’s true. The Moonies pop up with a weird number of attachments all over the GOP.
Abe’s assassin’s story already sounds like a work of fiction. A young man radicalized to the alt right because of his mother giving all his college money to a cult, only to find out that the same cult has ties to the alt right groups he was aligning himself with and changing course.
The Moonies themselves don’t even look like a normal conspiracy group from a Bond movie or something. They look more like some parody from Kingsman.
The Moonies own DC’s second newspaper, the Washington Times, which has a strong conservative streak.
TiL that Shen Yun isn’t just an innocent performing arts show
Please elucidate. To me they are that weird Chinese outfit that comes through town every couple of years. I’ve never known anyone who has seen their act.
I’ve only seen billboards and tv advertisements and it seems kinda cool.
It’s some kind of state-sponsored propaganda, but I don’t know much more than that.
Not sure about Korea but Japan has a weird little MAGA cult going on. They have had little pseudo-rallies, although I dont remember the details clearly enough to say anything else on it.
I know there are enough low-info or ultra national voters in Japan to maintain a bit of a maga cult-- some people just liked him simply because he screamed about CHYNA a bunch and they don’t like China. It’s just weird to see it in the J6 setting. I wonder if it’s any crossover with the manosphere bullshit about how all Japanese women are totally submissive and thus the ideal spouses for the ultramen living in their parents’ basement.
There was also the flag of the defunct Republic of VIetnam

The depth of anti-communist feeling in the Vietnamese community, which includes many military veterans and former government officials, meant that it has always leaned strongly Republican. While Asian Americans as a whole voted 2 to 1 for Joe Biden over Trump, Vietnamese Americans supported Trump over Biden, 57 percent to 41 percent. A deep animus toward China, amplified by misinformation in Vietnamese-language media, bolsters the support for a president they see as tougher on foreign policy. This dovetailed with their anticommunism.

Almost guarantee they’ll use that because their base does not know the difference. Unless you embed your explanatory text in the picture, anyone cut and paste to portray whatever they want
with all the trump flags it’s pretty obvious it’s not in la
.
^Here, you dropped this. It’s called the point. You must have missed it while stating the obvious.
he is pretending to first assume this is LA, but no one would ever assume this is LA with those flags, so what exactly ís the point?
The point is that Republicans are allowed to have a literal insurrection with Trump supporting them, while Democrats protesting ICE’s human rights abuse triggers Trump enough to deploy the national guard on them.
OP is drawing a parallel between the two, not pretending that anyone will mistake that for LA.
ahh ok thank you, i wasn’t fully aware of the current events
c/woooosh
Google en passant.
Holy hell
