Because they shouldn't be doing only symbolic gestures; they should be doing things that matter. Symbolic gestures are nice in addition to that, but when all they're doing is one symbolic gesture every few weeks or months while bending over the rest of the time you've got a problem.

I'll say this as many times as needs to be said. Liberals will see this shit and then tell you to rally around the Democrats with a straight face.

Mass protests where people did nothing in particular. That is, in fact, not resistance. People in LA are actually making it harder for ICE to terrorize them.

Is it me or is LA the only part of America doing anything resembling resistance?

Uh... No? There was no two-party system in Weimar Germany what are you even talking about? Hitler came to power because conservatives and centrists prefered him over the left. Like, it was Hindenburg who appointed Hitler as chancellor.

I agree; I just wanted to push back against the idea that American soldiers who go invade countries halfway across the world for oil and genocide are innocent. Victims yes, but not innocent. Glorification and whitewashing of the military is part of how America got here.

That's fair. As I said I was nitpicking, not making any sort of serious argument.

The homeless are the permanent underclass of capitalism.

Don't some countries effectively have zero homelessness, though? I'm thinking of Finland, but I think there were more.

I know they think he's a terrorist, but I just wanted to point out that technically the tweet never actually calls him a terrorist or Hamas or anything of the sort. It's more of a minor nitpick than anything.

Brain drain from an institution that only does evil is a good thing, yes.

Because fascists don't care about the law? What even is this question?
