  • This is bullshit rightwing propaganda.

    If Americans were too comfortable to radicalize, we wouldn’t have both Dems & GOP declaring anti-capitalism as extremism, we wouldn’t have both parties sending in the national guard to intimidate the electorate, we wouldn’t have both parties sending the cops to attack protestors, we wouldn’t have both parties fighting unions, we wouldn’t have both parties going after 2nd amendment rights, etc. We especially wouldn’t have the US government jailing and assassinating leftist leaders as a matter of policy.

    To say Americans are too comfortable for revolution, when 18 million are food insecure, 37% cannot afford a $400 emergency, 40-60% of the homeless are employed, 41% of Americans are dealing with medical debt, the bottom 50% own 2% of the wealth while the top 1% own 70%, the average wage in this country is a poverty wage, corporations are buying up to a third of family homes on the market… it’s just an absolutely idiotic and ignorant statement.
