    Turns out us liberals are unhuman, at least according to a new book called 'Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them)', written by Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec.

    And JD Vance really likes it. Here's what JD had to say about it:

    “In the past, communists marched in the streets waving red flags. Today, they march through HR, college campuses, and courtrooms to wage lawfare against good, honest people. In Unhumans, Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec reveal their plans and show us what to do to fight back.”

    And here's the Amazon link so you right-wingers can get your copy:

    Where does ot say "liberals" are communists?

    It says "far left".

    I think there is a difference.

    Are you seriously trying to claim that Posobiec, of pizzagate fame, is trying to make that distinction?

    Vance is claiming that Communists are marching through HR departments. Do you take that on face value too (that HR departments are literally talking about how to seize the assets of production)?

    Posobiec, in the book, states that these "unhumans" control "the chief institutions of consensus-making." Do you think he means that the far left controls literally every institution that helps form consensus. At that point, far begins to lose its meaning, doesn't it?

    Or is it more reasonable to conclude that they are trying to conflate fairly standard political activity with Communist revolutions with the goal of ending democracy (I can give you the quote from the book in which the author proposes that if you would like)?

    Pardon my ignorance, but what is HR? Hotel restrooms? Home runs? That's all I can think of, but bear in mind I'm as old as Joe Biden.

    I want to live in this fantasy America where the 'communist' revolution was apparently successful in capturing both corporations and the courts

    Human resources. The people who tell you that you can't sexually harass your coworkers, have to hire qualified minorities on occasion, and handle your paychecks.

    Human Resources. This is like the one corporate institution conservatives have decided they dont like because they are the ones in charge of diversity training and what not.

    I confess, I know nothing about the author. I just know that generic "liberal" terminology, isn't backed up in the link about the book.

    His far left includes just about everybody that doesn't agree with him.

    I knew who he was, I also just found out recently he's behind the "End Wokeness" Twitter account that many posters have linked here

    Thanks for asking. I didn’t know for certain either. I see HR and read Home Range which makes no sense but is the least of my brain problems

    HR has always been a pain in the ass of common sense.
    HR is the place where wasted time was born.

    "Human resources." Okay, thanks for the answers. I never would have made the connection between unhumans and human resources.

    As I said, I'm as old as Biden, and I wish I could stop wasting what time I have left on shit like this.

    Easier to commit atrocities on those who you don't even consider human. A dangerous and slippery slope. We've seen it before.

    No one likes HR, but the idea that its full of left-wing communists is really, really silly. In fact, left wing-people have their own version of anti-HR in the form of the Professional Managerial Class (PMC).

    It’s just the same broad brush used when people say Cons/Pubs/MAGA/Trumpsters.

    That’s happened in the old USSR in NK and China, I believe they will let you move there if you want to live in that system. ;)
