Social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism. The social democrats can only improve the conditions of western workers by exploiting the global south. In doing so, they are deteriorating the material conditions of the exploited countries. In addition, when they protect lgbt rights in western societies while also being imperialists, the rights of queer people in the global south are in danger because of “rainbow imperialism”. For a quick example that i can think of rn, there was an pic of an IOF soldier with a pride flag that was posted on lemmygrad recently. The authorities in those countries will associate lgbt with their oppressors. Due to this, they view lgbt as being inherently bad, an attribute unique to their oppressors. Those are just a few reasons as to why social democrats, like Bernie Sanders and tyt, are full of shit and only serve to make capitalism temporarily stable. They are the last line of defense to protect capitalism, mostly because they offer concessions to the workers of the global north at the expense of the global south.

They're not coming after me, they're coming after you and I'm just trying to get in on the grift.

Young Turks have been awful for a very long time. Not sure what this image is saying though.

It means that some people on the nakedly pro-capitalist right don't understand that his social democratic positions are also defending the interest of capitalism and are the last line of defense against people taking actual socialist positions.

Pretty honest moderate wing of fascism. Also dude's 53, that's more like Middleage Turks.

Given their genocidal opinions, I like to think of them as Ataturks.

It’s a good grift. You could make more money by moving further right, but if you move further left there’s no corporate money at all.

Is he even allowed to run for president? I heard he can’t because he wasn’t born there.

[–] Addfwyn@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think he can technically run, but not win. In fact I think he managed to get on one ballot, might be wrong.

I assume there is some grift there to drum up donations, but I can't imagine it will be very effective.

I think it’s a silly endeavour but, who knows, maybe he’ll prove me wrong.
