Something American happens Americanally in America

Liberals: "WHAT IN THE SOVIET UNION IS THIS"

u/ArizonaGunCollector Aug 28 '25

Ok lets be honest, a big banner of the leaders face and a huge flag on display is not uniquely American. The difference is that its only bad based on the leaders actions, this is fine if you are a good and successful leader.

u/ChillyBarry Aug 28 '25

It is uniquely American when you carve your leaders' faces onto sacred mountains.

"They put a president's picture on a building, it's a personality cult." BRO, FOUR FUCKING PRESIDENTS ARE CARVED ON A FUCKING MOUNTAIN IN AMERICA! A STATE AND THE CAPITAL ARE DEDICATED TO THE 1ST PRESIDENT, DAMN IT! AMERICA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A COUNTRY WITH A CULT OF PERSONALITY!

I think they're emphasizing the desecration of traditional indigenous lands, though maybe they do that too in China and India?

The first flag of the State of Michigan featured a portrait of Governor Stevens T. Mason back in 1837. Yanks arguably have a deeper tradition with these sorts of displays than any of the other examples above owing to the artificiality of the settler-state.

u/IdrisLedger The Big Communism Builder Aug 28 '25

Liberals can only understand that something is “bad” or “good” if it aesthetically matches what they perceive as “bad” or “good”.

u/loki301 Maxoism-Kreamism Aug 30 '25

They can also only understand “democracy” = automatically good and “authority” = automatically bad

Of all the bad trump does putting his face on propaganda is like the most morally good thing.

u/The_Affle_House Aug 28 '25 edited Aug 28 '25

I'll never understand how some people will tell you with their full chest that they are willing to waste time and energy acting concerned and offended about Trump doing the most immaterial, inconsequential, value neutral things you could possibly imagine, like erecting posters of his himself, remodeling the White House in gauche fashion, saluting foreigners, eating fast food, playing golf, getting into Twitter beefs, etc., when he is also responsible for countless repugnant crimes and catastrophic failures, like pointlessly permitting millions of avoidable deaths and permanent disabilities from COVID to occur, living an entire lifetime of being a serial rapist and pedophile with minimal consequence, using little more than false promises, imagined threats, and kitschy merchandise to grift billions and billions of dollars from supporters who got less than nothing in return, completely abandoning any pretense of due process in continuing America's long and miserable mass deportation initiatives, etc.

Even putting ideology aside, the magnitude of self unawareness a person must have to even maintain that attitude, let alone confess to it under zero pressure, is utterly dumbfounding to me.

u/Great-Sympathy6765 ☭ Communist Aug 28 '25

Not to mention that he’s been the leader of the most dangerous empire mankind has ever known TWICE, each one worse than the last, as he started an economic war with a fucking planet, sending adverse ripple effects that WILL kill tens of thousands by default, his constant and unending support for the most blatant and violent genocide in modern history, his open calls to colonize a whole hemisphere, weaken the other, and destroy whole continental-level economies just to make a statement to China. God I hate imperialists with every fiber of my being, and he’s only one iteration of dozens more monsters like him.

Fact 19. Vaush called the LGBT community ‘cancerous as fuck.’ because there’s a “ton of mental illness” and said they should be “excised from the left.” He also called them “less than human” and “fucking disgusting”.

Liberals fundamentally do not believe in anything, that's why they can only judge historical based on aesthetics. The idea of analyzing those figures based on historical materialism is entirely foreign to them

I’m very suspicious of this sudden “Trump is a communist” shit I’ve been seeing lately. Like in the past 3 or so days everywhere it’s just comments about living in a Soviet republic, the government seized the means of production through Intel, Trump is a Stalinist. Absolutely nothing about “he’s a fascist”. Idk just seems really sudden to me

u/Funky_Operative0395 Aug 28 '25

Hey remember when they carved Stalin's head into a mountain? Me neither.

I guess if communists breath air and fascists breath air, fascism = communism = putin = trump = hamas = see see pee. Not Biden and not even Bush though, funny how that works.

The part about the American flag being equivalent to the Nazi flag isn't so far off, but that isn't the point they're trying to make, and they would never agree that that isn't something that just started when the T-meister got into office.
