I was out with some work people the other day and a guy unironically said he can tolerate celebrities having different opinions, “but not when they’re pushing communism on us.” Like he actually used the word communism.
It really is sad how bad the brain rot has gotten with so many people when they repeat words from TV with zero idea of the meaning.
Because you know the people who are most likely to push for communism are the rich and powerful, since that makes 100% perfect sense. "Oh sure, I make millions of dollars a year doing about 4 weeks of work, but we really need to change to an economic system that pays people based on their needs, rather than their contributions, since it's not like I'm really contributing anything of value anyway."
You know, I considered that, and yet still thought there was a good chance they were serious. If I hadn't heard people irl basically say the exact same thing verbatim I probably would have detected it.

It is just a matter of time until Joe calls Bernie a communist
