Weird, isn't it, like there's some vast wellspring of support a political party could have tapped into by doing literally fucking anything but defending the status quo.

It's almost like the uniting factor of the people is class. I feel like there was a historical figure once, who was assassinated for trying to pivot from race to class because the government saw the danger of a united population.

Every other cause is a distraction from that one.

Wait, who are you referring to?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I assumed they were talking about MLK.

So now the government had him killed...?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 11 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. Is it surprising to you that the US government would be involved in the assassination of a Civil Rights and socialist leader or have ties to white supremacy?

If so, I can recommend quite a lot of further reading about... Most of US history.

Did you skip education?

Government would never kill anyone mate!

Are you a brain dead conspiracy theorist?
