i always knew we were fat but it's pretty horrifying seeing it after living amongst normal sized people most of your life

Obviously the situation is bad, but I don't think many people consider those three things to be true.

So, now, ice can arrest anyone they want and do anything they want with them. No due process, no checks, nothing.
Tell me once again how this isn't early nazi Germany?

Yeah its true you are straw manning American politics when you talk about leftists being Marxist. Its complete nonsense
As for the article, pointing to one single headline as justification for you horrific prejudices and outlandish comments is reactionary sensationalism
As a California resident, I learned first-hand what state authoritarianism was during Covid under Governor Newsom.
Yeah wearing a mask in a pandemic is the same as masked unidentified armed men snatching people off the street and politically appointed "judges" to rubber stamp the masked men's actions without a lick of due process or oversight.

If it’s notable that a British newspaper published an opinion supporting Marxism, wouldn’t that imply that it’s not popular.
And just as a correction, it’s Marxism-Leninism and Maoist 3rd Worldism that killed a lot of people, not Marxism proper.
And it's Marxism-Leninism that spared a lot of people from starvation too, a number that should be subtracted from LOOLuciom's stupid sum.
When did that happen? Didn’t the Bolsheviks end the revolution that brought democracy to Russia, stabbing a bunch of their fellow revolutionaries in the back because they saw they wouldn’t gain power?

Point is Marxism was and is WORSE THAN NAZISM. The only amount of space any decent person or institution would give to it would be a full 0 with complete 0 tolerance in a normal society.
Saying "I am a Marxist" should be treated like tattooing a swastika on your forefront. A lifetime sentence of exile and pariah status by everyone who isn't deranged.
That Marxism still isn't a completly taboo word associated with the worst horrors of human history is the point.
Everyone who isn't completely anti Marxist (*and everything that derives from Marxism) isn't compatible with civil society. Full anti Marxism should be a basic requirement for participation in civil society at all levels as anti Nazism is.

In order for it to be harassment, the person needed to have been targeted for no reason.
I didn't say marines weren't deployed and used to keep order.
Coordie said harassment. Harassment is when people in a position of power illicitly abuse of that to target people who don't deserve to be mistreated.
That civilian qualifies?
