Even if a #Progressive is elected, hypothetically speaking, they won't be able to do the shit they say cos they'll be backed into a corner.
#Congress, #Politicians & #Corporations & #WallStreet will not let it happen.
A tiny minority of people still get a say, there's still #exploitation, there would be a #CapitalStrike which would lead to #civil unrest and possibly a coup to take power back for #capitalist class with the forces of the #reactionary.
Man kann es nicht oft genug sagen, um den Hintergrund zu verstehen:
> Mr. #Musk is one of a number of #reactionary figures with roots in Southern Africa who found an unlikely home in Silicon Valley and now wield disproportionate influence in shaping American and global right-wing politics. These men, such as Peter #Thiel and David #Sacks, emerged from a historical tradition that revered hierarchy and sought to sustain racial and economic dominance..."

The Enduring, Invisible Power of Blond
Tressie McMillan Cottom (2023)
"When people have outsize emotional reactions to benign inquiries about their self-evident beliefs, it is often an indicator that status is doing invisible work."

@MAKS23 obviously, both are at best #UsefulIdiots if not #Agents for #Russia and #Putin...
The fact that #reactionary & #cristofacist politicans went out of their way to #sabotage the #government using the absurd "#DebtBrake" aka. #ColdProgression as a weapon is THE PROBLEM in #Germany.
We don't need that shit over here!
@LunaDragofelis @mathowie yeah, #Reagonomics got copy&pasted by #reactionary #turbocapitalists all across the world!
@EWinterNM @thepoliticalcat @Npars01
I keep saying this: if you think the #reactionary neofeudalists want to go back to 1950 CE or 1850 CE, you’re cute.
Try 850 CE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/behind-the-bastards/id1373812661?i=1000669798693
@lovelylovely the fact that #Reactionary #Christofacists are able to do this is a systemic failure...
The sad part is that some folks literally think this is good and not systemic #sabotage of the state!
PS: you forgot to add an #ImageDescription... #plzfix by adding #AltText... #thx!
I had to stop reading this when it included #IsaacAsimov as a #reactionary.
Isaac Asimov was a social democrat and secular humanist, disapproving of conservatism and superstition.
He was also skeptical of elitism.
These views align more with progressive and liberal ideologies rather than reactionary ones 
My $0.02.
YMMV

>> The #GOP also panders to religious cults who promote #childMarriage
Like #BranchDavidians — the cult of David #Koresh
As reprehensible as the concept of child marriage is, there is another angle to it, and that is human life expectancy.
From 1500s-1800s, life expectancy throughout Europe was between 30-40 yrs and early marriage could be rationalized.
Now it's twice that, but the #reactionary #GOP wants to take us back in time.

@RickiTarr The problem with #Disinformation is that that #Counterspeech or #Corrections are pointless.
Arguing against these things makes them "#debateable" and that is the big mistake...
The fallacy that #christofacists and other #reactionary #bigots could be "converted" or "convinced" of being wrong assumes they don't know better and that they are indeed interested in the truth - neither of which is the case.
Same with #TERFs and #Neonazis:
#MakeFacistsAfraidAgain includes making #MAGA|ts and the #OrangeTyrant flee to #Russia or face Jailtime for #HighTreason and #Insurrection!
Intactivism subreddit owner is taking an explicitly anti-intellectual turn. They (this moderator) banned me a few weeks ago for asking him if he's considered that transgender circumcision sufferers may be affected differently than cisgender sufferers.

Folks need to stop using the word #conservative to describe these folks. Advocating #MassShootings of #Jews, #Muslims, and #Black people is #reactionary, #racist, #neofascism. This is what #Trumpism is about; don't for a moment think otherwise. We have a long hard fight ahead.

Look up #lawfare, that’s what the #AntiNormie #reactionary faction has been engaged in while hacking #American #institutions.
