This extreme divide bleeds out into people’s relationships. Some even go as far as to cut contact with relatives or friends who are on the different side of the political ideology spectrum. A 2020 Pew survey showed that Americans had very few friends who supported another presidential candidate.

Republicans and Democrats are really at each other’s throats by making assumptions as well. A 2020 study showed that 8 in 10 Republicans believe that the Democratic Party has been taken over by socialists. In turn, 8 in 10 Democrats believe that the Republican Party has been seized by racists.

We Gave You Chance, Now It’s $50!

Screenshot of a tweet mocking statists, advocating for $25/hr after $15/hr failed, highlighting anarchists mocking statists' takes.

triflingo:

Are people really that f**king dumb?

tosseriffic:

Ironically, life is more tolerable when you keep it in the front of your mind at all times that most people are complete f**king morons. Legitimately half of the people you meet have sub 100 IQ, and one in six has an IQ below 85.

I Would Like To File A Complaint

A country that enforced a mandatory gun buy back program now passing more authoritarian policies?
Shocker.

But experts say that people are most often wrong and tend to see the members of the opposite party as more extreme than they actually are. “We’re flattening people out in terms of our view of them,” Tania Israel, author of Beyond Your Bubble: How to Connect Across the Political Divide, Skills and Strategies for Conversations That Work, told NPR. “And we’re not really seeing the full complexity of people on the other side.”

Rich People Can “Own” People By Paying Them A Lot Of Money

Reddit thread showing anarchists mocking statists debating ownership and freedom with sarcastic comments.

Darth_Parth:

Bruh if you offer someone $1M to clean your house, you’re the one getting owned.

Ed_Radley:

It’s all relative. If their time is valuable enough to them that they can’t even be bothered to pick up after themselves because of the lost value, buy all means pay somebody that $1 million and let the value generation commence.

“Anticapitalist Etsy Shop”

Anticapitalist Black Cat sticker with red and black background, symbolizing anarchists mocking statists on Reddit.

shook_not_shaken:

This is what happens when leftoids change the definition of capitalism from “the free market” to “when exclusively non-workers own the means of production”. Just let them have their fantasy, you can’t have a discussion with people who change the definitions of words.

ICantBelieveItsNotEC:

Everyone is against capitalism until they suddenly realise that they can be a capitalist too.

Are You Kidding Me?

Reddit post from r/socialism mocking buying stocks as a method for revolution, highlighting capitalism’s hypocrisy.

AYE-BO:

What’s hilarious is that capitalists are literally eating the rich at the moment. Much more so than any dumb a*s wannabe commie or hippy ever has or will. It may not be long term. It wont effect them much in the end. But the little people are definitely showing the rich people that we can use their own dirty tricks against them.

Whiprust:

LibCaps are often just as class conscious as Socialists of any type. We all eat the rich, but what State Socialists usually don’t realize is that the government is what’s feeding the rich in the first place. If anything the whole r/WSB debacle is proving that you can’t eat the rich until you eat the government.

But ’tis the nature of socialization online. And nowadays, most of us do get our news and express our political opinions on social media. Most of us know that political discussions online are usually pointless and only cause our blood pressure to rise. But that toxic environment doesn’t come out of nowhere; it’s created by people. And some researchers suggest that netizens who choose to participate in political discussions online might already be uncivil.

What If I Don’t Declare My Job ?

Comment stating taxation is theft argument is anarchist nonsense, mocking statist views on income tax consent.

goose-and-fish:

Every time you buy something the government takes a slice. Own property, government takes a slice. Die, government takes a slice.
It’s not like employment is the only tax government collects.

molotok_c_518:

Use a service? Taxed.
Use a utility? Taxed.
If the government could find a way to tax air, you know they’d be all over that.

Homeowners Hold Housing Hostage, Keeping It Away From People Who Can Live In The House

Anarchists mocking statists with a tweet about landlords not providing housing but holding it hostage for rent.

ImmySnommis:

Construction workers do not “provide” housing.
Miners and loggers provide housing. Construction workers, in fact, do the opposite of providing housing. They take the material created to build housing, hold them hostage for payment of labor, and refuse to work without pay.
Just about as dumb.
