  • It’s also just a lie. Conservatives are constantly in a crabs-in-a-bucket-esque power struggle. The only thing ensuring cohesion on the right is the cult of personality surrounding trump. They all want their particular flavor of oppression to be the one at the top and are happy to stab eachother in the back as soon as the opportunity arises.

    Left unity is similarly a myth. The left is full of diverse ideologies, many of which are fundamentally incompatible with one another. We’ve already tried the “left unity” thing before, it lead to the Bolsheviks purging anarchists the second they had the chance, and there’s no reason to believe that left unity would play out any differently nowadays. And while I’m at it, liberals are center right at best and “leftists” should stop concerning themselves so much with what libs think about our politics

    First, “make it 0!” - * Number *! As a “surprise factorial” (as seen in comments in this very thread making this exact joke) is a common joke in threads like this and that was the only connection I could make for this meme, having no previously knowledge of binary quirks.

    Second, I don’t know if you were trying to be a dick or you’re just some overly wordy ass clown high on your own farts, but how on earth is me explaining what I thought a joke meant, showing why it didn’t work, and then asking for help to understand it vacuous?




  • Not trying to start shit, but the DPRK seems democratic in a similar sense to how the US is “democratic”, i.e. a kneecapped electoral system that is vulnerable to the whims of tyrants and plutocrats. A functioning democratic system shouldn’t have the same family at the head for 80 years. Again similar parallels to America, where several political dynasties have had varying degrees of influence for most of our history. Happy to be proven wrong here but I just don’t really consider single (or two) party systems to be worthwhile/aspirational democratic systems
