    On one hand, this is just goofy Leftist bullshit.

    On the other hand, it’s worth understanding the differences between “progressivism” and “liberalism”.

    Most “liberals” don’t really understand what “liberalism” is. Most of them are actually “progressives” and just don’t realize it.

    Then it’s worth noting the differences between “progressivism” and the absolute looneytoons ideas that “leftists” espouse. I am not okay with the hardcore socialism that they push, or for the absolute civil war that it will require to enact those ideas.

    Kind of weird that there are all these anti liberal posts given the non stop Trump destruction of the US.

    “Pay no attention to the atrocities of dear leader!”

    “Goldstein and his liberals are the enemy!”

      Nah it’s more like less quirky slogans, more fucking guillotines. Stop playing harm reduction and change the system

      Liberals treating fascists with kid gloves and giving their absurdities an air of legitimacy is literally how we got here. You can’t give fascist ideas the same weight as real, serious arguments, pretending fascists are arguing in good faith and then wonder why idiots think “Hmm, but both sides have good points,” but that’s largely what liberals have been doing my entire god damned life.

        “bipartisanship” and “meeting in the middle” was always an absurd idea. And liberals still dont understand why.
