Blue is a colour associated with the democrat party of the USA. Maga is a cult associated with the republican party of the USA.
Referring to non Americans in terms referencing US political parties is nonsensical. Are you an American? If so it seems you're one of those American Exceptionalism types who insists everything in the world must be viewed via the prism of the USA.
Mate, assuming youre an American, whatever you need to feel better about your inaction is up to you
Bottom line: once an Americans ability to vote is gone all your catchphrases mean nothing. The fascist is the one who will take that action.
American involvement in the middle east has worsened the situation for Palestinians since Trump was elected. That doesn't mean Biden was anything but an awful leader but Trump is worse. Way way worse. Everything he does both foreign and domestic was enabled by those who both voted for him and those who refused to vote against him.
So you called me a bluemaga liberal but simultaneously you didn't assume I was am American voter? Lol, whatever.
So when you referred to my comment as 'blueMAGA liberals ' you weren't referring to what I said?
"I don’t really see why people continue to blame the lockdown for why it has impacted socializing"
I'm not blaming just the lockdown but it certainly played a part. For a lot of people who are now legal adults it happened at a formative stage of their social development.
"I wouldn’t just put the magnifying glass on 4chan when Reddit and Kiwi Farms are just as bad if not worse."
True.
I guess the same way you assumed I am?
Really? You're assuming of course that I'm am American citizen, which I'm not, or didn't attend numerous protests to support Palestinians in the country I do live in, which I did.
The whole world is not the USA.
You had a choice OP
Instead you chose secret option d. Make 'both sides equally bad' memes to justify the acceptance of fascism.
Always vote against the fascist. Or revolt.
And you're not wrong either - they're still shit excuses for treating people like sexual commodities and thinking its OK to beat/rape/kill them if they don't give you sex. At some level personal responsibility kicks in.
We live in online world that normalises abusing women gamers on Twitch, DM-ing women in order to hit on them and/or attack them on Insta or whatever, that considers sites like 4chan legitimate humour and where a web search for something like a gym membership can bombard you with scum like Tate.
Add to that the hit that people's socialisation skills took during lockdown, governments around the Westernised world normalising hate and violence as legitimate ways to get what you want and then dangle in front of them the fictional lives influencers flaunt on Instagram, TikTok etc and tell them they too could have that life if they do this that and the other oh and by the way, its totally fine to abuse women to prove your masculinity because you, as a man, are owed sex by women.
All these reasons like 'men are lonely', 'gender roles are different' - yeah they play a part but lets not pretend this shit hasn't been coming for a long time and men being sad they have less role models is no excuse for the rationalisation of violent hate that's on display.
Some of our UK Order will be at the Satanic Flea Market this coming Sunday (6th October).

Last week, our "Satan Not Hatin'" campaign - set up to challenge hate and far-right extremism in alt music scenes - welcomed it's 200th opt-in participant. That's 200 artists, bands, record labels, promoters, venues and other organisations not prepared to tolerate hate.
As well as the documentary on the project (which is still being shot), a Stockholm based radio show, Trigger, have announced they will be dedicating an episode to the campaign and playing bands that are participating!
You can read more about the campaign at it's dedicated website and details of how to access the Trigger episode (either as its broadcast via their website or the next day on their Mixcloud account) are also on the site.
The latest episode of GOSPod is out. It's also on YouTube and PeerTube as well as the usual places - Spotify, Amazon etc.
In this episode we talk about the campaigns we've done in the past as well as our current campaigns and some ideas for the future.
If you genuinely think things aren't worse under Trump whilst simultaneously claiming you speak facts then I don't know that you are capable of reason. Couple that with your apologia for excusing voting against fascism and its very obvious you're about as left wing as Thatcher wasn't.
