Usually, leftist politics, like cutting taxes for wages and raising taxes for the rich is quite popular.
And sorry that I’m judging a party for not being leftist when its’ name is literally “social democrats”. /s

When people say that, they usually don’t mean voting in primaries or wasting your precious life in a party.
Just look at how basically every left party in Europe has become a neoliberal painted in a different color. Germany has a coalition of “social democrats”, a green party and liberals and they still cut welfare, try to deport black/brown people (sorely needed on the job market) and screw up climate politics.
Every concession made in favour of the left has been reached through mass movements.
Electoral politics won’t work in favour of leftist goals. The system is rigged from the start.
Best you can do is vote for a lesser evil.
Too bad the server at least needs the player input data.
I’d also like to see more imagery of Jesus smashing up the temple rather than him calmly sitting under a tree.
If your kid starts yelling and screaming, smack em. If they cry, smack em again.

What exactly do you mean? Monopolization? Superstructure? Violence? Where do I need to start? At the definition of a state?
My critique is as follows: Violence is currently monopolized by a hierarchical system of command & control - the state. I (and I’m presuming: OP as well) question the legitimacy of the state and its’ monopoly of violence.
I would prefer it if the necessary amount of violence would be controlled by horizontal power structures.
But not all societies monopolize violence in an institutional superstructure.
You could argue that MLK didn’t really work. And Gandhi’s contemporaries weren’t that peaceful, but quite influential. That narrative just isn’t that great for the people in power.
I don’t want to kinkshame freaks who like eldritch abominations. I wanna kinkshame pdf file creeps.
Well, cops are responsible for quite a few murders/homicides over here and I’m quite sure that the intention of the meme is quite as crass.
I don’t have a comprehensive definition of “weird”. But having “concerts” and election propaganda in a multiplayer shooter isn’t weird to you?

Yes, it is still weird. Wewve just gotten used to it.
The weirdness of that stuff is the reason people don’t like fortnite.
I miss the days when the justice system replied to the statement “this might hurt our business” with “too bad”. (In the case when sony lost to that PS emulator)
Why would I think of something better than a strawman when replying to a strawman?
As I said in another post: Cops protect the bourgeois, white-supremacist, colonialist, patriarchal state by enacting violence on the ruled class. That’s not a judgement: it’s their purpose in the system.
Individuals with bully-like personalities self-select into that job, while decent people are actively shunned. Because group cohesion is more important than “doing the right thing”.
Why do you defend cops so much?
That’s not true. ACAB everywhere, including Europe.
Sure, all the police violence incidents are “individual outliers”. /s
They voted for supposedly left-leaning parties (and a liberal one). 🙄
