I would hate to think that this group is as gullible and easily fooled as Trump's cult followers are.
Why can't liberals detect jokes
Federating was a mistake
Because they were told that everything on the internet is Russian troll farms. Kinda of ironic actually...
Being purposefully obtuse allows them to bask in their smug sense of superiority
Wait... this is fake?????
This guy is gonna go back to his instance and talk about how tankies at hexbear support "Islamist Trump"
We’ve been had, we have no choice other than abandoning communism
lol
lmao
THIS IS 100% REAL!! RED PATRIOTS ARE IN CHARGE, TRUST THE PLAN!!
It’s a shitpost lol
Obama was born watching Magnum P.I.
Biden was born at the Dunder Mifflin paper factory.
Trump was born in Waziristan.
These are facts.
Check Wikipedia if you don’t believe me.
wdym? it's pretty believable. just look at the red underlines and the side-by-side photos! the resemblance is uncanny
the post is a shitpost making fun.
this essay makes some strong points about why people endorse absurd lies, and it isn't primarily because they're gullible

Yea theres an element of this essay that has always felt wrong, which is what you said about how the proletariat doesnt benefit from imperialism. Every problem the working class has is directly tied to the existence of imperialism, and although there are upper stratas of the working class that get more of a buy in, its only relative to the massive towering wealth of the monopoly capitalists who are still sucking the blood out of society and humanity itself while completely immiserating the lives of the lower strata even in the US. On a long enough timeline, all upper strata workers and petty bourgeois either join an ever shrinking monopoly capitalist class or join the continually growing proletariat and theres only one solution to this that isnt the common immiseration of humanity as a whole.
People choose to believe because there is no communist alternative between the two parties. Building that communist alternative is the only solution.
This is interesting but to make sure I'm understanding it correctly, does the last paragraph posit that the people that are representative of the shitpost cliches actually understand and are complicit in the "wink-wink" nature of the lies being passed off as legitimate information because they understand that they benefit from the goal achieved?
Like, this guy is aware of the completely baseless and disingenuous nature of their fearless god/leader and is just putting on a show?
(Closes dictionary) What morons.
