The “For the better”, also known as Anakin and Padme 4-Panel and Clueless Padme meme. The first panel shows a guy saying “You should vote dem and push them to be better.” The second panel shows another person saying “So you’re going to push them to be better after you vote?”. The third panel shows the first person saying nothing and staring. The last one shows the second person with a concerned look on her face saying “you’re going to push them to be better after you vote?”.

    They are the more culturally liberal of the two Wall Street parties, essentially the “good” mobster to the Republican “bad” mobster á la “Vote for me and I’ll try not to make things worse – for now. Or do you want my friend elephant over there to beat you up?”

    (Of course they are lying, they are just far more gradual and self-cucking in their reaction)

    They are the liberals covering for and collaborating with fascists. They have no issue with concentration border caps and with the pillage, rape and destruction of societies infinitely more valuable and cultured than theirs.
    Just put some rainbow and BLM stickers on those bombers and border patrol trucks and everything is good and civilised again; they are the ones that protect you from “the backward barbarians” after all.
    But when all that reactionary violence is funnelled inwards as well, when they loose their imperial privilige, they start to whine about “the downfall of our civilisation”.

    It disgusts me with such deep disdain, because they are just the keepers of capitalism, holding it nice and warm for as long as they can, until the ruling class requires the backup of fascism to “bring order” back into the world and upon the working class; just so that the cycle can begin again and again and again…

    (and also two side rants:

    • Henry Ford was given the highest award a foreigner could get in fascist Germany, by Hitler himself mind you
    • There is nothing inherently progressive about being “LGBTQ+”, you are not subversive, you are not “bringing society forward”. You are reinforcing capitalism by making it more inclusive, you are just another consumer target group that will be disposed of once you become undesirable for the capitalists (so the fascists can have one more “common enemy” to rally against e.g.)

    From an older comment of mine:

    To quote Malcolm X:

    The white liberal is the most dangerous thing in the entire wester hemisphere. He is the most deceitful, he’s like a fox. And a fox is always more dangerous in the forest than the wolf. You can see the wolf coming, you know what he is up to. But the fox will fool you. He comes at you with his mouth shaped in such a way, that even though you see his teeth, you think he is smiling.

    All their supposed progress and opposition to capital only reinforces and propels capitalism, alleviating the need for fascism just for a little longer (which arises for the ruling classes when the majority of the population grows disillusioned with their lies, be they conservative or “progressive”). In the end only legitimizing the underlying framework (capitalism), without ever threatening it.

    TL;DR: scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds
