I will repeat this until the heat-death of the universe:

Personal liberty and self-determination are assailed by many threats: the theocrats, nihilists, corporatists, fascists, and so-called "collectivists". They all claim to be the true authoritative “voice of the people”. 

Extreme authoritarian "leftists", A.K.A. “tankies” (i.e., apologists for Lenin, Stalin, Mao, the CCP, the DPRK, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Xi Jingping, etc.), are threats to a free, egalitarian, and open society, are just as violently authoritarian as their religious, corporatist, and fascist competitors, and should be treated with the contempt, distrust, and ridicule they deserve.

They claim to speak and fight for the proletariat, promising a new utopia, never before seen, once their revolution executes the last “class-traitor”. In practice, once they’re finished with “seizing the means of production”, they’ll never relinquish control and become the new ruling class. Beware of their cults. Understand what they really are; power over everything and everyone, forever, is what they seek. They want you either as a true believer (a willing pawn) or dead, just like all of the other supposedly benevolent dictators who promised utopias throughout history.

They’ll assume the mantle of an enlightened elite post-revolutionary administration to guide the proletariat to their promised utopia of “each according to their ability, to each according to their need”. In practice, "the party leadership needs the most, because they’re obviously the most able” in reorganizing the economic and political structure of society. The utopia of the “dictatorship of the proletariat” will never exist, only the dictatorship of the “revolutionary party”. Repression and execution await those who question their claims and decisions. These supposed champions of labor are really harbingers of death - of the mind and the body politic.

They’re akin to the pigs in Orwell's Animal Farm, the loudest voices in the revolution, usurpers of a righteous cause, but a bit “more equal” than everyone else after the farmer is done away with. Fortunately, the pigs, like the farmer, got their comeuppance in the end of the story.

Make these pigs squeal.

The CCP, the RNC, and the DNC are not your friends.

Vote your conscience. Always remember to see who's funding who, who will gain, and who will lose. There are better choices than others, even when confronted by only bad choices.

The purgation of xenos scum and heretic filth with extreme prejudice.

Or just plain "criticizes".

Immo stultorum deus sum.

Especially after age 40 and a knee surgery... I'm tired boss! 😩

That’s actually a core ~~tenant~~ tenet of conservative ideology

It’s basically social Darwinism; it benefits him if people believe that rich and successful people are better and ~~thereby~~ should be rewarded with more power.

I wonder if Game Science meant avoid politics like "western identity politics" or "critique of the CCP"? Perhaps both?
