    This is interesting but to make sure I’m understanding it correctly, does the last paragraph posit that the people that are representative of the shitpost cliches actually understand and are complicit in the “wink-wink” nature of the lies being passed off as legitimate information because they understand that they benefit from the goal achieved?

    Like, this guy is aware of the completely baseless and disingenuous nature of their fearless god/leader and is just putting on a show?

      Sure, just change some of the words around cuz your pictured mr clownshoes probs doesn’t even know what proletariat means

      Trumpers are willingly complicit in his lies because they instinctively and correctly understand that they benefit as a class (as a white person) from the exploitation enabled by systemic racism and it’s propaganda — organs of coercion and consent.

          (Closes dictionary) What morons

          You joke but also you nailed it. It’s a dangerous mistake to think the opposition is stupid. The things that truly separate us from mr. clownshoes there are curiosity and self-crit.

          Hmm…

          self-crit for sure.
