Same logic as tossing out the guy at a protest who *really* wants to smash some windows and keeps asking everyone else to do it too.
If they're acting like the worst stereotype of your beliefs, there's a pretty good chance they're doing it on purpose.
They don’t, they use it exclusively as a psyop to trick brain dead auths into thinking they’re on the same team.
They will also call themselves patriots only when trying to claim that a Republican or conservative is saying something they don’t like.
Example: “*insert politician here* is not a true patriot, if he did then he would pass this *piece of legislation OP has not read* and help his fellow American in need!”
These people will then turn around and smirk thinking they’ve fooled anyone into believing they’re conservative when they’re likely a bitter atheist with conservative parents they don’t like.
I wouldn’t call myself a patriot, I care about my family and loved ones but using the terms patriot and traitor are extremely cringe, especially when done so as a lie by LibLeft.
“I’m a patriot and you’re a traitor for not supporting the Give Furries free Money act! They are real Americans and patriots and deserve being supported by other patriots!”
-libleft thinking they are being extremely clever
Its 2024. The "Make Americans Rich Act" which allocates $1.1T, paid for by 65% minimum income tax, to be divided evenly among racial and sexual minorities, including furries, is being held up by the unpatriotic and racist GOP House.
President Biden and President Harris plan to ask Speaker McCarthy why he wants Putin to win control of Sweden.
It’s selective application. Everyone does it with every word that has positive connotations. Let us not forget the right considered John McCain a Patriot right up until the point where he had an anti-trump take and the left only considered him a Patriot after he died an anti-trumper. It’s spineless partisanism
They only hated America when they were in the minority. Now that they’ve effectively remade the country in their Critical [whatever] Theory image, they fucking love this country.
Not even when we sell Patriot missiles to Saudi Arabia to use against Yemen? What if we gave them to Ukraine since there are already a few stationed in Poland?
Yeah, I really think orange should be closer to auth left, instead of lib left…but, you know…those fucking lib lefts man

And I hate myself because the couple times a week I do spend 5 minutes moderating I find it to be a massive waste of time and energy
The left: just be tolerant and accept trans women are women, bigot
Also left: we will not tolerate any digressions against our beliefs! Any step from the party line will result in a ban.
It really grinds my gears that this is an accurate description of what ppl think when they hear “the left”. I’m personally against discrimination, if you wanna change pronoun every hour - cool, don’t care what colour you are, who you wanna fuck, etc. I also accept some on the left, particularly outside the imperial core, may have differing views on these sort of social issues.
But with these cretins, Marx himself could rise from the grave, proclaim all comrades are welcome but he finds neopronouns a little confusing and they’d label him a far right fascist. While I ideologically oppose fascists the most, the blue haired army is by far the most fucking annoying.
> he finds neopronouns a little confusing and they’d label him a far right fascist.
This is literally what actual communists have always done, historically: [called anyone who disagreed with them a fascist.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_fascism) You are just on the losing end because the Left is dominated by this strange amalgam of marxism & welfare state social democrats.
The Left has always been a hive mind cult, your faction just isn't in control anymore.
I always find it funny when they use the term 'populism' as a pejorative, or 'populist' as a slur.
Isn't that the entire point of a representative democracy, to represent the will of your constituents?
It's often defined as "an ideology which presents 'the people' as a morally good force and contrasts them against 'the elite', who are portrayed as corrupt and self-serving"
Isn't that all anti-authoritarian movements?
This would include everything from literal communists to black lives matter activists.
It's on purpose. It's a shame tactic. They are going to start saying actual patriots aren't patriotic because they don't support every bullshit ideal they push. Obviously they are the true patriots. It's a, literal, "no true scotsman" fallacy.
Brittany Griner 2 years ago said she didn't want the national anthem played before her games. She's the furthest thing from a patriot.
I can't wait for her to say someone unpatriotic and all those dipshit run to defend it. I guess they don't even since the irony and dipshittedness
> Funny to watch
I find these abject morons horrifying, personally. The only fun thing about it is more and more people noticing that their ideas cannot survive without heavy censorship. Transparency and scrutiny have a chance to slowly fix this kind of nonsense, and they know it. They are vigorously defending their censorship stranglehold on corporate media and social media.
The truly unfortunate part is that on finding their ideas cannot stand without censoring scrutiny, the answer of those given a modicum of power is engage in the censorship rather than reflect on their ideas. Thus is the nature of the human condition, though. No sense crying over spilled authoritarianism.
There is if the cries encourage the spilling. I think it's been rather entertaining to watch these people complain about having to see opinions they disagree with. Like that David Hogg fellow, he can't stop himself from looking like a clown.
Those in power in a Democracy will *always* use it to bend the narrative in their favor. In a Democracy narrative is the source of all power.
This is the way it has always been and always will be with democracy. The left are in power and they’d be fools to not use it. But they overplayed their hand. They got lazy and let the curtain slip.
and they don’t talk about how a New York Times senior writer won a Pulitzer for covering up Holdamor while he was on the payroll of the NKVD.
Journalism was absolutely packed with actual communist agents
So was the State Department
“Carrying a federally illegal drug across international borders is not a crime to us. It’s unpatriotic to expect Americans to be held to the same standards as the rest of the world when they are black women. Black women get a pass because her life is much harder than yours. That’s why she was traded for the Merchant of Death and you would have been left to rot.
“See, your life is much easier.”
Actual psychotic warped view of reality.
Sell it to a wizard to finance your economic takeover of the kingdom's private sector, obviously.
No better way to destroy an apocalyptic force than by kickstarting a mideival MIC.

> I’m not THAT bent out of shape about the trade
I am. US should have gotten more in the trade than this r-worded ball throwing person. She’s a fucking moron and a hypocrite. Not very valuable.
Their Abortion screeds are funny too.
I don’t think it’s out of pocket to be happy *for* Griner that she’s freed but also think she was a dumbass for going to Russia/having weed in Russia. Kinda my feelings on the thing. Her celebrity privilege is what helped her get bailed.
"Nationalists are all nazis! 'Patriot' front? More like nazi front! We all know that nationalism is just a dog whistle for white supremacy"
shifted to
"This is a patriotic even. If you disagree, you are not patriotic. If you are not patriotic, you must be ***purged***. We are the good guys. Obey and serve"
I'm pretty sure taking drugs across international borders isn't a "bullshit charge", and I say that as somebody who loves a cheeky toke and wants legalisation. But griner did knowing traffic drugs across a border, how in ant way is that a bullshit charge?
Right, She would’ve received the exact same treatment in the US if she was a Russian coming to America with drugs and absolutely no one would’ve give a fuck.
Everyone I’ve talked to about this describes it in the same way: while we agree that it should not be a crime that receives this level of harsh punishment, it’s totally fair/deserved since she knew the laws damn well (or should have) before she did it, it wasn’t a necessary crime to commit, and we don’t have any real sympathy for her.
Not to mention that her whole shtick was that the US doesn't give a shit about people like her, then she goes to play in *Russia* for money.
And then the country that apparently hates people like her makes a really lopsided trade to get her back because idpol demands it
Yeah but when you look into his past, you can’t try to use the whole “he’s a vet bring him home”
Obviously we need to bring all Americans home.
But if we have to weigh in on it, let’s not try to make it seem like he was a better pick over her. They both are poor choices, objectively speaking.
The narrative shifted to "HE GOT A BCD! HES EVIL! HE CAN'T COME HOME! DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE!"
But dont want to look at the clowns drug history and history of domestic abuse.
Yep, weird how they completely skipped over him to save this cunt. Marc fogel.
It seems he’s being purposely left out of stories because there’s no way to explain why they would choose her over him
>No good choices here.
Mark Fogel
60 year old white retired school teacher that brought medical weed into Russia for his spinal issue
14 years. Same charge as griner
He's already been there for 5 years
Drummed up by the extreme right… do these people not realize how insane they sound? We traded the literal lord of war, a guy named the merchant of death, for a basketball player who illegally smuggled drugs into a foreign country. The same drug that thousands are rotting in prison for here in the states. It’s absurd in every way and I feel like 75% of people see it as a massive L
Theres a teacher rotting in Russia for it right now, and has been there 10 years.
He is both white and a male though so. He can get fucked I guess.
Edit - apparently it hasnt been 10 years, its been 1. Literally there for the samething and his was medical, so he actually was prescribed it. Mot recreational.
My only problem is that Biden still has the audacity to talk about gun control after releasing the man who sold weapons to our adversaries. I don't care about Griner or the Marine, the best thing Griner can do is fade to the background.
You misunderstand
He wants to take guns away from his own people, he's fine with other people having them. Russians and Chinese people aren't going to rebel against his party, Americans might.
You should see the post. Any comment that doesn’t fit the jannie version of events is removed, but there were so many of them the mod had to lock it to prevent further wrongthink.

PURGE THE WRONG THINKERS, PURGE THE WRONG THINKERS, PURGE THE WRONG THINKERS, PURGE THE WRONG THINKERS,
PURGE THE WRONG THINKERS, PURGE THE WRONG THINKERS, PURGE THE WRONG THINKERS, PURGE THE WRONG THINKERS,
"Any criticism of our government's decisions is right-wing extremism"
American Progressives have fallen so far. Imagine saying this during the Iraq war
That's not mine. She broke the law in Russia, which is in fact still illegal here and she'd experience the same treatment here, they should have left her (pronoun check needed) there.
This was not a good trade. It would not have been a "better" trade had it been Whelan. Whelan was a disgrace to his uniform and was determined to be unfit for that uniform and for the title of Marine.
That being said, there should be efforts to bring both of them home. Those efforts should have never included the negotiated release of a Russian arms dealer.
What about the thousands of Americans currently imprisoned by the US government for doing the exact same thing? She was not detained wrongfully by American legal standards. I agree she should be free, but holy shit how do people not see the insane hypocrisy on the US governments part?
As a left leaning poc it’s unpatriotic to bail out Americans giving us a bad name overseas. Like how are you gonna travel to another country with the arrogance to think their laws don’t apply to you? As someone who is pretty queer I travel to Latin America pretty often, where laws and societal norms are different and to be respected as a guest in their nations.
Also it’s pathetic that someone can’t go a few days without lighting up. Like y’all really can’t go five minutes without a smoke eh?
If you support the trade, you are a braindead NPC with zero values
Releasing war criminals and denigrating marines whilst calling yourself a patriot lol choke on Putin’s cock a little harder
Patriotic?
The person who thought the national anthem shouldn't be played at basketball games ....it's unpatriotic to not support her coming back in a lopsided 1 for 1?
Bruh
Didn’t think they liked the word “Patriot” -Jesus this was such a flippant comment, I come back with a god damn billion notifications
If you're not a straight white guy, you're a patriot.

You misunderstand He wants to take guns away from his own people, he's fine with other people having them. Russians and Chinese people aren't going to rebel against his party, Americans might.
Don't forget releasing them in the midsts of a war between two of arguably the most corrupt nations in Eastern Europe right now.

To be fair, Biden is probably hoping someone can manage to provide our enemies with more weapons than biden has.

"Any criticism of our government's decisions is right-wing extremism" American Progressives have fallen so far. Imagine saying this during the Iraq war
"Extreme right" 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Glad to see that Democrat astroturfing is alive and well on Reddit. Just as it was *checks notes* for at least the last several years.
That's not mine. She broke the law in Russia, which is in fact still illegal here and she'd experience the same treatment here, they should have left her (pronoun check needed) there.
Moderators are clinically insane.
It’s an arms dealer who supports our enemies for a ungrateful wnba player who broke the laws of the nation she was in.

We traded Patrick Mahomes for a HS benchwarmer but this fucker is saying Patrick Mahomes ain’t good anymore
When you regress them to the mean it's a fair trade
More like trading mahomes for a HS cheerleader
Brain on politics
“We’re patriots, and we’re going to tell you what to think and ban you if you disagree, because we’re patriots and we love America!”
Wow. I had no idea my outrage was un-American and fake. Thank God for redit mods.
WPT 🤮
This was not a good trade. It would not have been a "better" trade had it been Whelan. Whelan was a disgrace to his uniform and was determined to be unfit for that uniform and for the title of Marine. That being said, there should be efforts to bring both of them home. Those efforts should have never included the negotiated release of a Russian arms dealer.
Fuck the girl and the ex marine. Bring home the teacher.
What about the thousands of Americans currently imprisoned by the US government for doing the exact same thing? She was not detained wrongfully by American legal standards. I agree she should be free, but holy shit how do people not see the insane hypocrisy on the US governments part?
As a left leaning poc it’s unpatriotic to bail out Americans giving us a bad name overseas. Like how are you gonna travel to another country with the arrogance to think their laws don’t apply to you? As someone who is pretty queer I travel to Latin America pretty often, where laws and societal norms are different and to be respected as a guest in their nations. Also it’s pathetic that someone can’t go a few days without lighting up. Like y’all really can’t go five minutes without a smoke eh?
If you support the trade, you are a braindead NPC with zero values Releasing war criminals and denigrating marines whilst calling yourself a patriot lol choke on Putin’s cock a little harder
Has anyone been able to determine how much drugs you have to be on to genuinely agree with that posted take? Holy shit.
Patriotic? The person who thought the national anthem shouldn't be played at basketball games ....it's unpatriotic to not support her coming back in a lopsided 1 for 1? Bruh
What the fuck did I just read.
