They say “anyone can become president”,

Anyone that believes that probably also believes that a glass slipper can magically turn you into royalty.

There is no such thing as “blind” justice. What they mean with “blind justice” isn’t justice at all, but rather a blind application of and obedience to law - which liberalism have always (and utterly falsely) conflated with “justice.”

It’s an ideal in that people should be working towards taking control of the state apparatus

People are ALREADY in control of the state apparatus. What we have is, by now, the very predictable result.

The american legal system isn’t about justice

None of them are. They are all about maintaning the status quo and nothing else.

It’s an unreachable ideal to be continuously worked towards.

No it isn’t. It’s a pretense that the class who controls the violent apparatus of the state is impartial. It’s propaganda and nothing else.

That’s the ideal, it’s supposed to be aspirational.

It was never an ideal. It was little more than a marketing gimmick.

Leftists have always despised liberalism - and for pretty damn obvious reasons for anyone that has a basic understanding of what left and right actually means. Liberalism is a right-wing ideology that upholds capitalism, colonialism and white supremacism, all while having a recurring habit of enabling and supporting fascism at the drop of a hat when the precious liberal order is threatened by change from below.

So yeah - as far as leftists are concerned, the term liberal is as much of an insult as the term fascist is. There is even an old leftist saying, “kill the liberal inside your head” which sums up pretty nicely what leftists think of liberals and liberalism.

Oh look… a white supremacist desperately trying to “whatabout” more than a hundred years of US terrorism.

It’s a phrase that could only have been invented in the USA. So yeah… pretty damn terrifying.

We hope to help resolve actual problems on the Earth

Getting rid of the rich will solve quite a few problems - taxing them won’t.

police reform would help everyone.

The only thing police “reform” has ever helped has been the police and the capitalists they protect.

TAX THE RICH!!!

Taxing the rich isn’t going to solve squat.

Shooting open an Amazon box seems inefficient.

True, but it’s the American way.

A piece of canvas with some pigment on it isn’t valuable just because a bunch of rich people and their scummy “art dealers” says it is.

I think protesters have a lot more avenue’s to gain attention AND actually target something related to climate change.

You mean… apart from targeting the stuff capitalists put a lot of monetary value on? You know… the same capitalist parasites that caused climate change?

But as someone who deeply appreciates art

Fuck art.

That is one hell of an incoherent logical leap.

Good thing the people in the ad is white… if they weren’t they would have been shot before the ad team could take the photo.

There is no scientific “proof” that gods exist or doesn’t exist. If you think that’s what the scientific method is all about, your understanding of science is unscientific.

places a set value on something that many see as sacred; something that shouldn’t have monetary value.

I’d say it’s the other way around - because it’s labor that is (mostly) being performed by women (or stigmatized as something “only women do”) it’s considered to be of no value whatsoever. How many women do you know that performs work such as housekeeping, child-rearing and/or marital sex essentially at own cost because this type of labor carries no monetary exchange value in our society?

I’d say sex work falls into that category - but it gets stigmatized because sex work can actually allow women to escape such labor and not be locked into literally playing housewife to the capitalist mode of production (ie, wiping a company man’s arrse so that he can concentrate on making capitalists richer).

And if people are just having sex with a fun of it then it’s not sex work either,

No, labor stays labor no matter the reason it is performed - people perform labor when they doodle or blow their noses… it doesn’t stop being labor just because they’re not doing it in exchange for something tangible.

With sex it is the same - nobody engages in it for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
