libs on Minnesota Reddit were praising this as some epic pwnage - people rolling things down a hill with anti ice slogans on them, and then this bowling pin lineup of ‘dictators’
what are we, a bunch of… people who effectively resisted U.S hegemony?
(Trump included because he may have just accelerated it’s demise)
They cannot even focus their hatred on orange man bad, they MUST sneer at the insidious subhuman east.
Fucking libs man
ALSO KIM IS THE LAST NAME YOU RACIST FUCKS!!!
Jinping
lmao
you really expect Americans to do an ounce of research about the surname of someone they don’t consider human
I would at least hope their Weebs among them would point it out
This is what substituting materialist analysis with vibes does. It’s false consciouness manifest: in some of the clearest, most radicalizing conditions that you could conceive of for a bunch of Minnesotans, they land at the conclusion that their fight is against the nebulous concept of authoritarian leaders instead of the real material structures that are occupying their cities.
How much blame do we give to organizers on the ground and how much is these people are just that far away from us? Like it’s hard to see people not get it when Fascism is right at their door. IDK what will move people… I don’t understand how to change people’s minds
Perfect analysis 💯
It’s american nationalism performed through the use of ritual slagging off of national enemies instead of through the use of worshipping an american flag.
Republicans perform their nationalism through “America First”
Democrats perform their nationalism through “Putin/Kim/Xi must be second!”
This single degree of separation allows dems to convince themselves they’re not nationalists, but are patriots, in reality it’s just two shades of the exact same thing that results in the exact same foreign policy. Imperialism coming home in the form of ICE doing occupations and terror campaigns in cities is a direct result of this nationalist support for imperialism abroad.
In my opinion the exact moment when a person addresses this nationalism inside themselves is the same moment that a person becomes an anti-imperialist and properly graduates into the international leftist movement.
Yet another example that the average imperial core lib is 100% on board with the American empire, they just have an issue with the optics of having trump in charge.
Fuck me, they could have made the other pins other members of the trump regime/republican party, hell they could’ve labeled one “ICE”, but they have 0 problems with the fact deportations are happening they just want to be able to ignore it
Edit: and this is ignoring the fact that this “protest” is basically a theme party
I don’t think libs dislike most of Trump’s cabinet, or even ICE itself. They pin all the blame on Trump, like an evil mind controlling villain that has “taken over” the good and wholesome republican party and forced their brownshirts to do terrible things against their own will. They see it like a movie, where you get rid of the big bad guy and everything returns to normal.
In a way it’s similar to the way Hitler (and a few others) is used to take the blame for everyone that contributed to the Third Reich. Even high ranking generals like Rommel got whitewashed as “good Germans”
The right wing Jesus effect individual “great men” take on all the sins of the system in the eyes of the libs.
was there any doubt that Western Liberals are for US empire? Even Western Socdems are pro-US Empire. The only difference really is just about woke Imperialism, Liberals like using identity politics when they do their bombings, whereas Trump doesn’t bother, he’ll outright say he will steal Venezuela’s oil.
These people are angry about having soldiers in their streets because those soldiers should be in Asia committing genocides for the oil industry!
“As somebody who trained on weapons of war, I can tell you that there are weapons that have absolutely no place in American cities or neighborhoods in peacetime, ever.” Pete Buttigieg, 2019, on bravely saving his ammo for the people who deserve it, you know, over there

白左 báizuǒ naive, self-righteous Western liberals
so easy to write, incredible to know, thank you
Exceedingly useful phrase
Calling these libs anarchists is far too generous to the political consciousness of the average liberal
Is the person on the right an anarchist? I’m not overly familiar with the format but just from the image it seems more like a caricature of an anti all aes white “leftist” going off the pin mostly.
They have a DSA pin so not really anarchist
Thats a DSA pin? Looks like a soviet/PRC flag and it just says anti under it.
It’s the black and red anti-fascist flags
Oh its a red flag, it looked like a rose
These dumb motherfuckers really think Asian given names are last names
I know multiple people have already remarked on this, but it’s amazing to me that these people feel the need to make these pronouncements when they can’t even get given name versus family straight. Like, how much do you really think you understand what’s going on in those countries if you don’t even know which name is a family name? It’s like Ted Cruz calling for regime change in Iran when he doesn’t know how many people are there or what the second largest ethnic group is.
Do you know what the names on the four obscured pins are?
As was pointed out by a few people why would they bother wasting their oh so precious time learning anything about a people they clearly view as subhumans in need of the great guiding hands of the white saviours. Which is honestly extra ironic given they clearly can’t even save themselves.
Bin Salman, Erdogan, Netanyahu, and Lukashenko
Every single time. America behaves Americanly and the libs are all like “What are we, a bunch of Asians?”
Every day I agree more and more with that tweet saying that their enemy is the American people.
Inside you are two protestors:
Those that break into the squad cars and steal weapons
And those that play slap and tickle with one another in mascot costumes
was kim jong un the one who created ICE, or was it putin?
Not even a single person involved in making this knew that in many east Asian countries, your family name comes first and your personal name comes last. Jong Un? Jinping?
I’m guilty of this, I thought it was only in Japan that it was family name first. Jinping sounds funny to Xi.
This protest is brought you to by:
- Liberals.
- The Ching-Chong Ding-Dong School of Chineses and Other Asiatics Studies.
- Tide! Please don’t eat our pods!
Grading this a perfect 10 Mint grade.
Fuck that’s a good one
It’s true! I saw it in a ballet!
I remember that, it was just after the giant Karl Marx head devoured all the people’s food and vomited a red tide of communism all over everything.
Oh yeah that’s the juice
tagline plz
This reminds me of how I’ve had to repeatedly explain why publicly criticizing Maduro and Iran right now is counter-productive to opposing Trump, and would also legitimize American intervention, which has historically gone poorly. Some people just don’t really dig/think any deeper than “West says dictator, dictator bad, only politics other than vote is basic protest”.
John Oliver will someday answer for his many crimes, I firmly blame him for this
Even if you’re a liberal, this is poor political messaging. Why are you bringing up other world leaders? It just distracts from the point you want to make;
We want Trump out! Why? He sent ICE and the military into our city, abducted and killed people
Clear and to the point.
This on the other hand is just… what if no bad government everywhere. Nice sounding (if you don’t scrutinize all the assumptions and biases), but also unactionable. Empty spectacle, but not even particularly well stage-managed spectacle.
Exactly and it’s just further evidence that Russiagate conspiracy bullshit broke libs brains
Guy Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle. French and pretentious but has a point that in the west spectacle has replaced any real action/interaction.
