I mean, their use of ‘THEN’ rather than ‘THAN’ indicates that they’ll soon adopt the socialist agenda, so there’s still hope!
Oh that is just beautiful.
I actually now understand what was meant, because of your comment! I was like Why do they want to receive socialistic agenda later? Incredible what difference a wrong a/e can make! (I’m a non native english speaker, but I think it bothers me/I see it more than the actual natives)
Glad I could help, in a fun way!
Then/than and loose/lose mixups bother me every time I see them and it’s “fun” to interpret them as written rather than as they intended!
What I mean, is that you made me realize what they actually meant, because I’ve read it as is.
Yeah, I understood :-)
Way to “loose your mind” on irritating gramatical errors! :D
That fellow clearly just wants to become a heavily radical leftist, so he wants to maximize the jump he makes on the spectrum! Good on him!

Exactly! They’ve got it all planned out!

Lmaoooo just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. 😆 Good luck to all the lemmings out there who have to deal with conservative family members today/tonight.
To those that are about to dine, we salute you!

Unless you meant that all conservatists gladly convert to socialist views once confronted with true information.
That one word changes the meaning of the meme drastically. ;)
Where in the US is there socialist agenda?
Our choices are either a stripped rights corporatacracy or full on fascism.
Yes but these people think nancy pelosi is a socialist.

Exactly
Medicare, Military, Social Security, Minimum wages and bailouts for banks and billionaires. All forms of wealth distribution but god forbid your country actually implement national healthcare in a way that truly benefits everyone.
The core values of libertarianism: (god I wish I saved the original reddit comment, oh well I’ll paraphrase)
“Yes it’s fascist pseudoscience with no basis in reality, however it’s still a useful theory so I’m going to continue to believe it”
Tbh I was confused for a second and then thought. “Oh… Right-wing libertarianism!”
Where do you live that after reading “libertarianism” first thing you think about is left?
Left libertarianism was first… But nowadays it only exists to “well actually” people with, at least in the US.
Yeah. In Poland libertatrianism started around 1980 with a pretty fun episode when Janusz Korwin-Mikke went to the famous opening strike of solidarność in the Gdańsk Shipyard and preached to them the virtues of capitalism and free market. Shocked workers listened to the nonsense, concluded he has to be a militia provocateur (he really wasn’t) and locked him in the shed.
Currently, polish libertarians have such overlap with monarchists and neonazis they are even for years in a single political party - Konfederacja.
it took me a long time to realise that just because it has the word liberty (almost) in it, doesn’t mean it’s a left-wing idea.
In the US, that’s almost a red flag. (The other kind of red flag. I’m beginning to see the problem here.)
If you encounter primly-dressed members of some Family Liberty Choice For America Council, run screaming in the opposite direction.
Ok genuinely This has to be satire
Please I beg
This has to be satire, right?
You’d like to think that, but I’ve heard multiple people say “better wrong than liberal” without any sarcasm over recent years. This is absolutely a belief of some.
Poe’s law: on the internet, it’s nearly impossible to tell.
This but unironically

This but unironically
Totally this 😉
This but unironically 😏
I really doubt it. Have you seen reality? I wish the whole thing was satire.
I’ve seen it enough that it could be a meme or it could be a disturbing trend.
even if this specific example were, the law of large numbers means there’s a very high likelihood that at least one person really holds this attitude.
Marxist Leninists when they haven’t ignored 150 years of contemporary political science for sixteen microseconds
Which parts exactly?
Mostly the parts where autocracy doesn’t liberate the workers. Even temporarily.
Every time I start to listen and learn from people more left than I am, they get to the part about how after revolution there’s probably going to be a period of autocratic rule that should then dissolve by the will of the people. Except none of them talk about plans to actually facilitate the transfer of power, or better yet, prove Lenin wrong by not going thru a period of more authoritarianism.
And “communism has never been tried” is such a stupid word game.
They tried to try. What happened, fellas? How’d it go?
If anything, communism has been tried, but it’s never been achieved. A stateless, classless, currencyless society still sounds frickin awesome… But that’s not we’ve had :(
Right, the massive gap in Marxist theory is, and has always been, workable statecraft.

This is like punching the dummy in Varrock order to get level 8 debating
It says then not than, the person wants to be enlightened
Than. THAN.
I think you said the unspoken part out loud.
