    You know the types who only believe in a "cause" for 4 years and claim to be pro black but still patronize and look down on black people like they are the white saviors. Those people who are only socialists because its trendy and still consume products made with slave labor by people who suffer from true oppression. Meaningless gestures of "progress" like a major corporation that profits of slave labor putting a lgbt flag on their logo only when it becomes profitable to do so or complaining about not enough women or minorities in superhero movies is what modern day leftists equate to "activism".

Solidarity, in GSH’s understanding, can be based only on relationships of interest, and it is not ultimately in the self-interest of wealthy, college-educated whites to overthrow the system that has given them so much privilege.

    Rather than overthrowing the system, GSH states that blacks want only their fair share of its fruits – a stable job, enough money to start a family. Blacks don’t have time for the foolishness and gestural politics of the counterculture.

    True, I don't really give a s*** about much but free college for all, more engaging and alternative k-12 education (cuz it's trash right now. Why is my school district historically bad and poorly funded with a 65% dropout rate while the school 5 miles away where the white flight landed, they got some of the highest scores in the nation with great funding?) , reforming criminal justice (shit is just as trash as our education) , and getting rid of systems in place that keep people from moving up the social class ladder like what I mentioned in parentheses above and like stupid s*** when they take away your benefits cuz you made 10 dollars over the 'cutoff"

    As if that 10 extra dollars is gonna pay for your insurance and food for the month

    But that's why BERNIE2020 IS SO POWERFUL. HE BRINGS TOGETHER PEOPLE THAT WANT REAL CHANGE. NONE OF THAT FAKE OBAMA HOPE S***, THIS THAT REAL WORKING CLASS S***. PROPELLED BY THE PEOPLE TO DESTROY THE GREED AND CORRUPTION THAT IS TAKING PLACE BEHIND THE SCENES OF THIS SOCIETY. THE PRESIDENT IS LETTING HIS RICH CROOKED FRIENDS OUT OF PRISON, WHICH NO ONE ASKED FOR OR EVEN CARED ABOUT. WHILE THOUSANDS OF BROTHAS SERVING 20 YEARS FOR SOME BULLSHIT THAT DIDN'T EVEN HARM ANYONE. NOT TO MENTION THEIR LIVES WON'T BE THE SAME DUE TO MENTAL TRAUMA OF LIVING IN A F***ING FREE FOR ALL CAGE AND STUPID ASS FELONY RECORDS THAT SHOULDN'T EFFECT HOW LIKELY YOU ARE TO BE HIRED BUT LESBIHONEST IT ALWAYS DOES, NO MATTER WHAT IT IS.

    IF YOU WANT THIS TO STOP, I IMPLORE YOU TO VOTE BERNIE2020 THIS YEAR AND STOP THE MAN FROM OPPRESSING US AT EVERY AVENUE OF OUR F***ING LIVES. I AIN'T ASKING FOR NEET BUCKS, I DON'T WANT FREE MONEY, I JUST WANT S*** TO BE RIGHT FOR US BECAUSE ONCE THINGS ARE RIGHT AND JUST, EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FALL IN ORDER, BUT S*** CAN'T HAPPEN IF SUPER RICH ASS WHITE PEOPLE ARE MAKING THE RULES AND SETTING UP TRAPS FOR US (PAYDAY LOANERS, PREDATORY LOANERS, CREDIT SCORE SYSTEM, I'M LOOKING AT YOU!!)

    you're half-right and half-wrong, because the only people who have ever been serious about overthrowing capitalism in the US have been black and indigenous people. the idea that black americans merely want a slice of the imperialist pie simply isnt true.

    everything you wrote about college libs is true though.

  • Feb 19, 2020

    they're jobless crybabies, that's it

  • Feb 19, 2020

    i think some college liberals, myself included, are truly socialist and are truly for the cause and have actually read theory.
    majority, however, have not.

  • Feb 19, 2020

    I have a problem with libs who think that Corporation™ actually gives afuck about lgbt rights or minorities when they change their logo to a pride flag and add 1 (one) lightskin black girl to every ad. Petty gestures like this only exist to convince them that their "activism" is working on the wealthy corporations but its just meaningless bullshit that still perpetuates the capitalist system. No one benefits from having a gay guy a black guy and a disabled guy in a f***ing ad. Nothing in the world is getting better. But most social activism is nothing but mental masturbation and vapid platitudes that exist to make people feel better and look good to friends and neighbors.

    Its hilarious that rich white celebrities complain about the plebs polluting the earth when they are in bed with the wealthy capitalists who are destroying it and profiting off literal slave labor. Yes the real problem is the guy who is drinking out of a straw and not the tech giants etc.. The real thing wrong with society is the common man and not the capitalist who is stomping on everyone's livelihoods. of course

    Should they be republican instead? What are you advocating for?

  • Feb 19, 2020

    OP why are you saying “college liberals” then mentioning socialism? Why would you then go on to say corporations promoting LGBT is socialism?

    Liberals are your warmongering, capitalist racists.

    Maybe university students feel enough is enough. They said the civil rights era and anti war sentiment was just a hobby of “liberals”, the difference between now and then is that things were much more dire. When it gets worse I can see students (especially non white) actually mobilising and pushing for change.

    i think a big problem is the hypocrisy of the type of liberals im talking about. they claim to be anti-capitalist and complain about boomers upholding the status quo but then they go on to profit off the corrupt system by either working for/within it in the future or by abandoning their socialist or anti capitalist beliefs when they get older.

    at least the conservatives are open about their support of the status quo and the powers that be and dont hide behind a basic perspective of the world and sit on their high horse virtue signaling to feel good. I agree that they both are annoying f***s but one is worse imo.

    Don't care about virtue signalling or identity politics or anyone being on their high horse. At the end of the day the conservative ideology is okay with people who aren't able to produce fiscally through no fault of their own suffer to reduce the burden put on the top 1%.
