My sister's history teacher was talking about politics and did the horseshoe theory bullshit. I don't expect any better from an American school.

He used the Burger King crown as an example of how both fascism and communism become equally bad. The Burger King crown. This country needs to be boiled in order to sanitize it.

Gommunism is when burger.

    I'm ngl, the use of something people are probably familiar with culturally is good pedagogy. It's just a trash understanding of how the world works. Like the flat earthers of political literacy.

    I treat my own country's state affairs like a circus most of the time. It's a neverending shitshow.

    It's a coping mechanism for the fact that the prices of most products (especially food) have gone up 2-300 percent in the last few years. And the country is burning and nothing was done for it. It affects me, and everyone here, except for anyone with a stake in real estate, private companies, or government workers in high positions. When the most leftist org in your country is questionably left, it's kind of hard to start something on your own.

    Recently someone told me that capitalist critical Eastern Bloc literature is actually subversive communist critical literature because both systems are the same as they put an elite class of people at the top. Horseshoe theory! Extremes are bad!

    Usually, when libshits say "reality is satire" they will point to something that is the consequence of capitalism.
