That's it.

I can't decide if I want him to enact all his communist/socialist policies and give American's a first hand experience of why Communism is terrible, or if I want common sense to prevail and his communist/socialist policies are stopped before he can destroy NYC.
^ This guy is a cop.
Tell me you're a christian nationalist, without actually telling me.
Atheist but good try.
I've never heard of an atheist Christian Nationalist before. How do you deal with the cognitive dissonance?
How do you manage to reply semi on topic without being able to read? Remarkable.
Do you have any specific policies you are worried about?
Just the general racist "take all the white mans stuff and give it to minorities", "seize the means of production" garbage. You know, communism things.
So, stuff you made up.
He's literally on record saying those are his plan lol

Still think I made it up?
Oh no, you wouldn't be so clever. I think you just fall for obvious pieces of propaganda.
So videos of the guy saying exactly what I said he is saying are “propaganda”? Propaganda for who exactly?
Cool. I just wanted to make sure my downvote and block was warranted.

Can't even articulate an actual critique. Definitely a cop.
Where did you get that from?
How do you understand it?

Wahhh, not the rich & white folks who mostly all happen to be both rich AND white for some mysterious reason that we can't deduce historically! Noo! 😭

Anyway, kindly fuck off with your propaganda please. :)
You are literally watching videos of the guy saying exactly what I told you he said, and saying he didn’t say it lol
If you read carefully, Mr. Doctor, I'm deliberately addressing the rest of the articles only. I hadn't even watched the video because I block Twitter. I'm calling out your sources for the sensational and loaded message that they're sending out and that you seem to reference without pause instead of, you know, linking direclty to the video itself.
Unfortunately for you, he makes no metion of white people specifically because (surprise!) the video is a dud. But it's telling that that's what your mind accepts based on these headlines alone from dubious sources and even dare to double down on it.
Oh so you’re not even watching the videos while replying half a dozen times about the content of them. Explains a lot.
See ya.
He does specifically say white people btw.
LOL! Any excuse to not wipe the floor with you again, huh.
And yes, I did watch. Only after I realized that the contents of the video were unrelated to what you were claiming based on the headlines after your three seconds of googling.
This is not the race issue your sources are trying to make it out to be. You do realize that if he's targeting white rich neighborhoods, it's because there are disproportionately many of them, right? Or do you really think he'd codify whiteness as a requisite for the tax to apply?? xD
Wipe the floor with me again? I don’t even know who you are, and you’ve done nothing but make yourself look like a fool, and admit you didn’t even look at the links provided.
Won’t be making the mistake of replying to you again. See ya kid.
Oh, we've crossed paths before. I have you tagged for some dumb shit you were arguing before. Not surprised you're onto this now.
And don't you worry, even if you block me I'll still be fact checking you every time I see it.
A neckbeard "fact checking" me and saying "no you're wrong, 2+2 = 5!" and then patting himself on his back and saying how he "wiped the floor with me" is nothing to worry about. I will enjoy knowing that you're fuming behind your keyboard every time I post and don't see your reply :)
Bird, please. I will maul you.
This you? Because whoever that is got ratio'd hard. But show me how I said 2+2=5, go ahead. Because that whole thread is you getting your ass handed to you.
Also, you never answered my question: Doctor of what, exactly? BS? It shows.
No, boo, don't forget I have you tagged and I have the patience of a thousand house cats for dealing with scum.
The ego! 😂 Has it crossed your mind that it's not about you and that people will see your bullshit on full blast?
Yeah man, reverting back to the old stabilized rent control policies and opening a city owned wholesale grocers, and making DoorDash pay minimum wage. Socialism as in Norway, not Stalin.
Stalin was the dude who purged all of his dissenters from his party, implemented mass deportations, and threw people in lawless gulags. Kind of like America’s current president.
It should be pointed out that Norway is not socialist. It's a social democracy/capitalist country.

I'm sure the people that fled communist countries because of how bad communism went, destroying the countries in the process, would disagree with you.
Do you understand that even just in the category of communism, there is an enormous gamut of different approaches, of which you only seem to understand a very specific one? You understand that the bolshevicks, even under Lenin, murdered the "competing" communist groups, effectively regressing right back to authoritarianism and what would inevitably degrade into Stalinist autocracy? And so that even the, mischaracterizing, claim that "communism" went bad is basically nonsensical?
Can you show me the communist countries, of any approach, where they are flourishing with no poor people, everyone is financially well off, wealth is equally distributed, and there is no ruling class and no impoverished underclass?
Because that's what communism always becomes, by design.
You're not very good at this...
Muh freedumb!
Some people clearly never been fishing with the way they respond to bait
