Fuck the BBC so much. They did a story about protests against this dipshits economic “policy”. The presenter- not the analyst -The fucking presenter is like, “Why don’t these people at least give him a chance.” Idiot, if anyone knows about how austerity works, it’s fucking Argentina.

Their (the BBC, NYT, etc etc ad infinitum) have done more to normalize dogshit policy and opinion under the guise of “we’re just asking questions” and “we need to wait and see” than all the blatant propaganda in the world.

Not surprising but interesting to note- if a socialist even glances at the levers of power, there’s no “give them a chance,” it’s suddenly that everything bad that has ever happened, is happening, and will happen is their fault and they must be removed immediately, by force if necessary. But libertarians get this and are the don’t tread on me folks, god I hate them.

To copy and paste

RIGHT-WING LIBERTARIANISM is one of the most powerful ideological influences of United States of America…

“One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, ‘our side,’ had captured a crucial word from the enemy . . . ‘Libertarians’ . . . had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over…”

Murray Rothbard

Why is it a surprise that these liberals, who hate anything ‘authoritarian’, insist on ‘libertarians’ to get things right?

"Give him a chance " it’s actually a political campaign by the altright coalition. They haven’t stopped the propaganda since the elections
