Why was there such little civil disobedience against Obama?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 27th, 2025 11:59 AM Author: Bat Shit Crazy Marvelous Jewess Shitlib Think about how bad things were during Obama. TBF's Gawker poast made me think back to those times. Why weren't people revolting against Obama and trying to overthrow him? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5755168&forum_id=2/en-en/#49134559) |

Date: July 27th, 2025 12:07 PM Author: Snowy property indirect expression The Obama era and Obama himself were “fine.” Things were going well enough in the post-GFC period given that anti-corporate sentiment was simmering. Obama presented well and the media covered for him on his problems (Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, etc.).
Normies weren’t really able to perceive the changes that were going on beneath the surface and how it was all going to accelerate after this era. The extreme left and center left have hair triggers on mostly ineffective weapons, but the extreme right and center right are more corked up until they explode, also pretty ineffectually. |

obama was an anti-corporate reaction to the bush era. it's funny that hilary was considered a shoe-in both 2008 and 2016 and both times got fucked by anti-establishment sentiment.
obama's covert establishmentness wasnt apparent to most until after he left office. leftists like taibbi and greenwald were exiled for questioning him. everyone was high on HOPE AMD CHANGE. this included most poasters here, and in 2008 that was mostly highly intelligent law students/aspirants. people best situated to know better. people had more trust in politicans, government, and media then.
it's only with hindsight bias that people openly wonder WHY like candy ride itt. but up until 2015ish with the MAGA revolutuon most people were still waiting for hope and change. that's precisely why a trump presidency became possible: disillusionment to the point electing a true buckwild radical. in 2008 people were reasonable and electing a dindu named barack hussein obama was an unfathomably radical act. |

why didn't *YOU* engage in civl disobedience. whatever the answer is to that, it's the same for many others. there's your answer. |

Date: July 28th, 2025 10:48 AM Author: Milky Deranged Party Of The First Part because he did some things and talked a big game. how many people are going into the CFR and analyzing regs first hand? how many are reading laws passed by congress?
most people, especially then, consume secondary sources. and the media was very favorable to obama. i pointed out how libs who criticized him were ousted. this includes rogan and many associated with the right today.
things happen slowly. why didnt many people criticize trump for not building a wall during his first term? why aren't thebcriticizing him now? people waited for lbama to make good on his promises as it would be unreasonable for him to accomplish them immediately, and it wasn't until the end that many were realized they'd never come. that's what led to a trump reaction. |

|
Date: July 28th, 2025 10:54 AM Author: Milky Deranged Party Of The First Part i voted for mccain and romney because i believed obama was a radical, i.e. i bought the lie, and i believed in cuckservatives.
in hindsight i don't think there was a meaningful difference between any of them. |

Date: July 27th, 2025 2:08 PM Author: Glittery abode affirmative action it's literally just increasingly naked scapegoating. and this was fine for years when it was just tongue in cheek, an expression of distaste, and not a real sacrificial hatred. now these compromised idiots are looking for excuses for their own soiling of the white house and i'm not sticking around for it. obama was a mid president carried through his terms through administrative skill, candor, and a still at the time remarkably professional and competent federal level bureaucracy. that's my actual opinion. the state worked well, wasn't particularly restrictive of civil liberties, and the atmosphere throughout most of it was positive and organically growth-enabling. they were fine years. if trump wants to go ahead and jail him i'm not going to lift a finger about it but it'd be just the latest in another vulgar, repressive, and vindictive set of actions taken by an administration that is destroying a decade of collective work by the actual American youth right in mere months. |

wtf is this post lmao |

Date: July 27th, 2025 2:01 PM Author: Glittery abode affirmative action it wasn't an imperial presidency, the consequences of some degree of this were mainly just BLM stuff years later and some racial tension towards the end of it the professional bureaucracy ran the state and this, while remarkably imperfect, was still preferable to the drunken Yeltsin orgy of looting going on in DC now |

Date: July 27th, 2025 2:05 PM Author: Saffron Goyim no, actually, having some goofy white boomer who is 50th percentile competent and loves america as head of state is unequivocally better in every single way than having a literal nigger who hates america and hates white people as head of state

|
Date: July 28th, 2025 1:27 PM Author: Milky Deranged Party Of The First Part the bigger issue is that people have a hard time accepting race realism and not crafting policy around it. also losers like the mpc crew cling to it because they're desperate to have evidence of their superiority and lack any individual accomplishments.
i think everyone is a race realist even if they won't admit it. before the woke era there was public acknowledgement of it e.g. Avenue Q's "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist." even the most outspoken shitlib wokescolds know to stay out of the ghetto and keep their head on a swivel around a certain crowd.
people just don't talk about it because what's the point? trends can be observed in different groups but that doesn't justify treating individuals definitely based on their membership in those groups. |

Date: July 28th, 2025 9:59 AM Author: Glittery abode affirmative action There was no gender talk at the time and the race stuff was pretty sedate All of that stuff came about from teen girls and girls at college having unrestricted access to sites like tumblr which became an echo chamber for intense and variegated forms of novel mental illness (suffering) The tipping point as I recall was sometime around the infamous "All PIV sex is rape" feminist essay-let |

Date: July 28th, 2025 10:30 AM Author: Glittery abode affirmative action the sex change buzz was during libs meltdown of "defiance" on trump 1, wasn't it? that's when the People or VF spread was put to print iirc i remember the trayvon hoax. iirc DNC types used racial tensions to gain partisan support for a flagging DNC roster and this was a main driver of it beyond obama they didn't really have too many mainstream politicians with popular appeal beyond Sanders (politically unacceptable to the neoliberal platform) up until the DSA brought out ocasio-cortez and similar, who were more amenable to DNC control as they didn't have legacy ties i don't blame obama for this and he was remarkably moderate about it. i think it all came from deeper in the party and for particularly sinister aims too. the end-state of the leftist coalition that Obama rode to power would've been something like the UK's "true left" Labour party, and this was unacceptable to the billionaire donor caste |
