is this meme condoning violence or condoning conflating young leftists with violence?
either way this is fucking rancid.
people are being dragged out of their homes to be executed as we speak and none of them by “yesterday’s avant garde.” white supremacy has always been the west’s norm. slavery and economic inequality has always been the norm. violence against those who cannot resist is not edgy or new—it is literally the status quo.
It’s an old joke, about how today’s avant-garde or radical is tomorrow’s establishment. To quote Pterry, 'We Shall Overcome is a song which, in various languages, is common on every known world in the multiverse. It is always sung by the same people, viz., the people who, when they grow up, will be the people who the next generation sing We Shall Overcome at.

A Biden-supporting, Soviet-hating, Ukraine-backing, US-positive Market-socialist tankie.
Huh. I must be a new breed.
lmao, nice edit. Pretty far from your original stance of “I’m sure this guy is a tankie, I checked his post history!”
I haven’t bothered to check your post history, but assuming that the adjectives you listed are indeed true, I would not consider you a tankie.
yeah no problem i edited my comment because i don’t care about you that much. :)
just came here to voice that it’s bile to joke about dragging people from their homes, and i believe my edit reflects that.
