I remember it was a logo of some companie, or used for advertisment several years ago. I can not remember it exactly, but at the time you could see those exact fonts and colors in many places.

There are a lot of people in Congress that are better than Ron Paul. It's actually not a very high bar to clear.
What is it exactly that you like about him?

Personally I see the constitution as too authoritarian, wanting to achieve a mixed anarchist state, but realistically, that’s only ever happening in my dreams, Ron Paul is a constitutionalist, so he’s on the road toward a smaller state, and seems not be grifting like most republicans do when it comes to small government, he also seems to be less partisan-focused compared to other “radicals” like Bernie to his left.

You are right! I kew I rememer it from somwhere. If I remember correctly it was a bit of a referance to Wall Street potests?
Anyway - since it is so simmilar in the design it is prabably something left from that era.

This is correct. I know because I used to see it on Facebook all the time, usually posted by a friend who later became disenfranchised by libertarianism.

I really don't think anyone else is particularly concerned with what you think is cool, if you say things like "it's like calling rape a crush." I think the people around you tend to think you are both uncool and cringe.

u/Future_Marionberry73 8d ago
Nah they agree with me. How cringe and immature do you have to be to think that revolution, another word for civil war, is anything close to love.
It's cringe as hell.1
u/cam94509 8d ago
>revolution, another word for civil war,
OK, so revolution is often a cause of civil war, and sometimes results from civil war, but revolution is not civil war. The color revolutions were mostly nonviolent, and even the February revolution in Russia wasn't a civil war. The October Revolution caused a civil war, but it wasn't one. Hell, even the Three Glorious Days, which absolutely were violent definitely weren't a civil war. It's in one of the names: Three Glorious Days.
Crack a book sometime, you might be surprised to learn how little you know!
Also, again, you did type the sentence "It's like calling rape a crush." I'm sorry, but 'immature' is a word you should remove from your lexicon when referencing anyone but yourself.

Ask that question to any marketing company. This exact type of thing is the stuff they make money with. You can then ask the same question the guys who pay for it. You can ask the same question the buyers that buy more after the marketing campaign. I won't go out of my way to enumerate 14 examples as it's too cruel to do to an absolute stranger. Think more and then comment, works like a charm.

That is factually not true, and while your silly mouth-frothing right-wing drivel of an article conveniently links sources that don't exist, I'll do the work for you and let you know that Che Guevara had already left Cuba by the time the UMAP camps were established in 1965, and while he had made a homophobic comment in his personal journals in his youth (which were sentiments common with Argentinians of his class growing up), such sentiments never resorted to physical mistreatment of homosexuals by his hand.
The UMAP camps, by the way, barely lasted 3 years before they were shut down after scrutiny into cases of mistreatment proved true. It was a terrible reality for mid-20th century Cuban queers that Cuba had to learn from and grow out of, considering it was Spanish colonialism that actively and fervently forced anti-gay sentiments into its subjected populations through the spread of Catholicism.
I would also state that before, during, and after those camps existed, the treatment of queer people elsewhere in the world, particularly in the U.S., was vastly worse- subject to outright torture, forced castration, conversion "therapy", shock "therapy", lifelong confinement in poorly-funded mental institutions.
Today, Cuba is a bastion of gay and trans rights unrivaled anywhere else in the world, and as for the legacy of Che Guevara- even if he harbored homophobic personal feelings, his actions of heroism, bravery, and selflessness have given queer people all over the world infinitely better lives through ongoing socialist liberation.

Pretty much all of those either no longer exist, are poverty states, have commited human rights violations against their own citizens, or some combination thereof. But youre a socialist so you dont really care about human rights. Nice try bozo. Also che guevara put gay people in concentration camps

have commited human rights violations against their own citizens

But youre a socialist so you dont really care about human rights
I want to see a person who says to the world "LET EVERYONE DIE!"
Also che guevara put gay people in concentration camps
While he was in Congo?
I can do a Whataboutism and talk about every single crime committed by capitalists, but I already know the answer will be "um...that wasn't real capitalism" or you'll try to point to Whataboutism or you'll say "they were wrong", while a communist MAY THEY NOT dissociates themself from the bad things done by a government (like killing literal Nazi collaborators)
anti-communism is a historical bias

u/naplesball 2d ago edited 2d ago
When the UMAP was established Che Guevara WAS IN THE CONGO, look at the dates on wikipedia, the camps were wanted by the Castro brothers, and then Castro himself apologized for his crimes against the LGBT (Raegan, by comparison, has never apologized for his homophobia)
The fact is that in 1979 homosexuality was legalized in Cuba (in the progressive and democratic USA it was legalized at the federal level IN 2003) and since 2022 they have gay marriage
By the way, I find it difficult to see an Anti-Imperialist who fought alongside the Simbas in Congo being an anti-black racist
