Leopards Ate My Face! The Official Thread.

[Handyman]

If there’s anyone that really needs to have their faces eaten it’s the Bernie bros that are gleefully celebrating the defeat of the “liberals” and blaming the “evil DNC” for blocking Bernie back in 2016.

Don't get me started on them...bunch of White Priviledged frauds who justify other people suffering in the name of their cause dujour. (I say this as a Bernie voter)

They aren't the worst though...the "Anti-Zionist" crowd that fell for Russian Propaganda on Tik Tock and protested on campuses are the ones that really get my hackles to rise. Not because of the BS accusations of antisemitism (though some of that was there) or even because I support Israel (which I definitely do not) but because they were getting played hard and they either were too stupid to realize it or too lazy to do even the bare minimum of critical thinking. I get that when you are that young things are black and white, but you are supposed to be educated people...you should realize there is more nuance to the fight than just "Israel Bad Palestine good!". Then again to them the 1990s is ancient history so how are we to expect them to understand a conflict that has been going on since 1948 or the 1800s? Hell to those clowns I bet they believe most other Muslims support Palestine because again, they are too stupid to research it. Ask the Egyptians what they think about Palestine (how much have they helped Gaza...answer NONE) or Lebanon or the Jordanians. Funny how Qatar kicked Hamas out as soon as Trump won...I wonder why that is.

And the thing is, it isn't just that they fell for the BS, but they allowed themselves to be riled up to the point of proving what the GOP was saying. They made themselves look antisemetic and mob like by repeating pretty vile things, dressing up in terrorist garb and causing havoc way beyond what was needed to get the point across. They allowed themselves to be seen as part of an organized effort to harass and hurt Jews in America, many of whom (like myself and most of my friends) find what Israel is doing disgusting. They didn't organize it, hell I bet most didn't know it was happening, but enough did that it gave an Israel loving media and the GOP ammo to go after the colleges and the protestors. These morons never even had the brain capacity to go back and see what happened in the 1960s. They got played and it was obvious almost from the jump. And it will be even more obvious when next year you won't hear much protesting. (and not out of fear of Trump either)

To be clear I support protests and protest votes...what I don't support is hypocrisy. And every one of those White Bourgeois dbags can eat a bag of dicks. Hey genius how about instead of sticking your nose into a conflict you know nothing about you deal with the fact that everything you own, the school that you attend, and the power that you have comes from your ancestors raping and pillaging. Your arguments fall on deaf ears when you rail against "Zionist Colonizers" while standing on the land we stole from the Native Americans. You don't get to wipe the psychic trauma away that easily. Maybe spend more time worrying about what is going on here because the consequences of your protest votes isn't that Gaza is better off (good lord it isn't...I weep for the death that is about to befall them because of our hubris) and now neither are Blacks, Latinos, Women, LGBTQ+, Jews, Muslims, Native Americans, Asians...etc. in this country. Way to cut off your nose to spite your face...I hope Trump deports you like he wants to.

[rufus]

I don't care how bad Hamas or Hezbollah are, nothing justifies what Israel has been doing to Palestine.

[Jimjamesak]

I think there’s aspect that a lot of people on both sides are missing: job losses and unemployment.

You see it a lot on the r/leopardsatyface. They talk about the deportations and how it’ll be impossible to replace workers in those low paying jobs, especially with low unemployment.

You dummies, what do you think the tariffs part of the plan is? They want a recession, they want job losses, they want people desperate. Workers have spent the last 2 years clawing back marginal victories and now the ruling class wants to win those back.

And TPTB don't like the white collar gains made via job hopping any more than the blue collar gains made via organizing and collective bargaining.

Or the threat to their real estate holdings from work from home.

I don't disagree. I think everyone above middle management in that country should be sent to The Hague and tried as war criminals. (honestly war criminals is putting it to mildly) That is not the point I was making though.

I mean...they told us as much. Both Musk and Trump said the economy would need to be destroyed to fix it. See that was one of the things "they were just saying" not the stuff they are actually going to do. #ThingsTrumpersBelieve

Most of us (and the majority of the people who post on that sub) understand the game they are playing. The morons who either didn't vote or voted for Trump think we are just going to go back to the 1980s...the problem is they are off by a century. They want to return to The Gilded Age.

Low unemployment won't be the issue, even when there is high unemployment Americans dont want to do those jobs even when the pay is ok. Deportations will happen, but prison work will become the new slavery. (btw prisoners rejected it too) If we don't fix this and soon we will be living in a Tennessee Ernie Ford song...

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said, "Well, a-bless my soul"

You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Can't no high toned woman make me walk the line

You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't get you
Then the left one will

You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I don't disagree but that is how terrorism works. Maybe one day we will all not get sucked into it, but Hamas accomplished their mission. Notice how no one is talking about the relations that were supposed to happen between Saudi Arabia and Israel now. And no one is trying to take Bibi to court anymore.

As an already unemployed person I can’t wait!

Too bad so sad...

[Kepler]

The only thing that these people hate more than us are each other. Throughout history you see that when authoritarians fall it is as much about the infighting as it is about the revolution. These people crave power and they don't like to share it and they will stab each other other to get closer to the man pulling the strings. They trust no one, they like no one and they will protect no one. Trump hasn't even taken power yet and you can see the fighting starting already. I guarantee half the information the media is getting about the nominees is coming from inside the house. When Kash Patel is in charge of the FBI he is going to make J. Edgar Hoover look like Jimmy Carter.

Yes. The Authoritarian Project puts people at cross-purposes. Power concentrations check each other because of MAD: any one that becomes too strong is instantly targeted for extinction by the others. Corruption is not just rife because of the type of people who self-select as authoritarian principals. It continually dominates behavior because laxity helps the whole: universal guilt makes everyone have to operate surreptiously and poisons cooperation that could threaten The Project. Paranoia reigns. There is no honor among thieves.

Now add the malignant narcissism of the major actors, not to mention their ineptitude, and you get all the dysfunction of a violent, ignorant crime family with incessant fear, treachery, and vengeance.

This is why the leaks started and stopped when the Trump admin did. It's why books have been written about the chaos.

The only thing we have going for us is their incompetence and lust for power.

If we don't give in to fear we can survive this. The other thing about Authoritarians is they tend not to do much and count on our laziness and fear to make sure they go unchecked and they accumulate power. This means people in the Administrative State must not quit, make them fire you and if they dont keep pushing back on every inch they try and take until they do fire you. Make them work for it.

As for the books, that was just greed. Every one of those pr!cks could have stopped this but didn't so they could cash out. That includes people like Bob Woodward.
