I think this is more wishful thinking on your part because you're clearly conservative.
Its not wishful thinking on my part at all. What i'm saying is based on a century of very clear generational patterns. 20s and 30s were liberal hence weimar, flappers, the anti prohibition stuff, and the general attitude of the times, 40s and 50s were conservative, 60s youth rebelled against that and you ended up with hippies, free love, new age stuff and all of that, 80s was back to conservatism, 90s pushed back against that toward liberalism again, period of conservatism in the early 00s followed by moving toward liberalism, the crazies started pushing hard in academia and we got the sjw nutters who have become so prevalent since. and now people are getting pissed off about it being pushed on them and are pushing toward conservatism again, which is starting show in many attitudes of the zoomers
and no, i'm not a conservative actually

The overall march of time is to be more liberal and progressive
No it isn't. The overall march of time is cyclical. One side pushes too far and the other side pushes back, becomes the cultural norm and inevitably pushes too far itself and the cycle repeats. Societies that get too liberal tend to get too permissive and do stupid things. Ask the romans how that went for them, or the germans of the weimar era, or many others for that matter.

We could certainly backslide into a couple of generations of fascist bullshit as you clearly wish we will
.....lolwut? First i'm a conservative now I 'clearly want' society to slide into fascism? No. Thats crazy talk. I do not want a fascist society by any stretch of the imagination. Not that I don't expect it to at some point. History has a way of repeating itself. When things get bad, and they always do sooner or later, people turn to desperate measure to protect themselves as a society. Authoritarianism has been the norm in human society far longer than democracy has don't forget. Humans like to pretend we have changed alot over the last few centuries, when the truth is we haven't. Speaking of which, here is a quote from a novel I was reading awhile back that explains things rather well:
Sarek set down his cup and, once again with a conspirator's hushed voice, continued the conversation. "Let us assume," he said, "that your wife is correct, and that assassins pose no threat to you. Even if you succeed in your goal of abolishing the Empire, once you place its fate into the hands of a representative government, it will almost certainly be corrupted from within. The Senate will be first among those looking to consolidate their power; they will learn how to manipulate popular sentiment and fill the Common Forum with their own partisans. Gradually at first, then more boldly, they will steer the republic back toward totalitarianism. Ultimately, they will elect one of their own as dictator-for-life... and the Empire you are laboring to end will be reborn. The rights you granted to the people will be revoked; they will resist, and rebel, and be brutally suppressed. Civil war will rend the Empire, and its enemies will exploit that division to conquer us outright. All that you have done will have been for naught, my son."
If you think something like that cannot happen in any modern democracy you're a fool. There is a reason people need be careful of political parties and their long term goals

People are getting sick of being milked dry by the rich and powerful. Patience is running dry. The failure of corporate oligarchy is becoming increasingly clear,
Uh huh. As google, amazon, the democrats, GOP and dozens of major corporations how 'sick' people are of them. Nobody cares. Major companies are making money hand over fist for a reason

and I hope you're learning your lesson about constantly sperging about politics on this thread.
What 'constant sperging' would that be? You do realize what site we're on, right? The only lesson here is that you should stop making assumptions about people based on nothing

Lucas trying to be black is so amazing, it shows how racist he really is. He sounds like Uncle Ruckus, but at least Uncle Ruckas was able to hold a job, and man enough to admit his bigotry.
Indeed, reminds me of that simpsons episode where mr burns tries to be good and lisa tells him 'you're evil! and when you're trying to be good you're even more evil!' given how lucas keeps ranting about everyone being 'racist' while being even more racist himself. He seems to think blacks and latinos are literal walking stereotypes

I really feel like next log in I'll see a court case # and "NO BAIL" slapped to it. As I've mentioned before pathway is the bottom of the barrel (lol lucas gets the off brand tard housing he's so useless) will be his last stop, after he ends up thrown out, via his behavior or a trip to a jail or loony bin. I seriously suspect he will be homeless for the rest of his short life. Lucas look around your dirty walls, because as you lay on a park bench rambling about telllllommmerzzzz you might want a warm and fuzzy feeling, a room with no private potty grease stain bare walls is the peak of it all.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised at all. Between his shit health, not taking his meds and constant obsession over everything he can't have to the point of ranting and raving at all hours, something is going to give sooner or later. Like you said, there is nowhere else for him to go, so its the street for him when he fucks this place up. Well, that or jail or a long stint in the nuthouse. Hell jail might actually be a step up for him, after all at least he would bathe regularly and have his own toilet in solitary. and I say that cause nobody is going to tolerate him as a cellmate for very long. He would end up either in adseg, with the other snitches and sex offenders or solitary. So yeah, he better hope its jail or the nuthouse and not just pissed management off enough to get kicked out without charges or a psych hold, or he is utterly screwed. He'll be seen pushing a cart around the mall full of board games and staring at tweens, like a horrific mirror universe version of bubbles

Lucas has nothing invested in left right, just wants more more more, because he's greedy and lazy, he would be a right winger if that was the group that did gibs.
As mentioned before, Lucas is trying to use a political view/mindset to get laid, that's all. Being it was on topic, before how Lucas is out of touch being the children he lusts after tend to or may have a very different ball game
Exactly. Lucas is only 'socialist' because a) he knows it gets him free money, housing, etc.. so he doesn't have to work and b) because he thinks young women are all socialists and that somehow means they will fuck him. Which never made any sense anyway cause even if it were true there are plenty of other socialist men who such women would pick over him, something his reptile brain doesn't quite seem to grasp. On the other hand if suddenly the neo nazis took power and promsised a 15 year old and free money and housing for everybody who signed up for the party lucas would be goose stepping his way to the welfare office in ten seconds flat. Everything he says and does is a means to an end for him. It shows how predatory and manipulative truly is
