Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Harris would have abolished ICE and gotten rid of the cages that Trump set up and Biden ignored, right?
...Right?
Nah you're right. Good thing trump is getting rid of them...OH WAIT.
"What about Trump being evil?"
Yeah he's fucking evil, good going dodging my question.
It's all liberals know how to do. Cannot for the life of them take responsibility. Blame the left for their failure while using the right as a boogeyman to force compliance.
No cages is obviously the ideal case. Fewer cages is obviously better than more cages, which was the choice at the polls.
"I don't believe in voting" fine, enjoy the more cages option.
But the cages didn't go down with Biden. COVID was ignored under Biden. Trump wanted these things and Biden kept them. It's not lesser evil, its incremental evil.
I also didn't say anything about not voting. I voted for Harris. I've proven it before and I will proven it again if needed. It was useless here in California but I did it anyways.
Sorry, couldn't answer your question because I don't live in an alternate reality where trump didn't win. Maybe ask some of the other people here?
So Harris would have kept ICE then, got it.
Probably, since ICE was created by Congress as part of the 2002 Homeland Security Act. The President oversees it, but funding and removing the organization is a power of congress and not the president. You would know that if you bothered to learn a little bit before forming opinions.

"You see we need to keep the Gastapo, parliament passed it so why stop it?"
I understand Harris can't write bills as president, you dingus. A president has sway over their party. What Biden wanted, Dems pushed. What Trump wants, Republicans demand.
If Harris, a brown woman said "Hey ICE is a racist police organization made post-9/11 to go after brown people, let's push to get rid of it" that would spark movement in Congress.
Then why the fuck are you confused about my answer? Sounds like you are disappointed by the fact that Harris was not all of congress as well?
I want my politicians to fight for things that are for a healthier country. Why is that controversial?
Gotta make sure everyone knows that voting is pointless and that all the marginalized groups would've died even if Harris won. That way no one who refused to vote on such lofty principles as 'it takes too much energy to vote, and it doesn't change anything anyway' doesn't have to feel bad.
Ignored? Biden did try to reunite with their families the migrant children who were caged under Trump's first term. Some couldn't be found because of the Trump administration's lax recordkeeping, but they didn't just ignore them. That's just a lie.
So everyone was freed form the cages and they were removed, making it harder for Trump to keep doing it? Zero people in there by the end of 2024?
If we're talking about the cells that were built during the Obama administration as temporary holding cells, which Trump then used to permanently hold migrant children who were separated from their guardians by his inhumane policy, then yes, there were no children being held in those cells by the end of 2024.
