CNN’s Wolf Blitzer seemed at a lost of words at the justification being used to bomb a refugee camp in Gaza.

    I genuinely feel bad for any liberals who haven’t figured out they’re basically just polite nazis. That’s gotta be a really rough realization. Spending your entire life thinking you’re doing the right thing only to suddenly have it revealed that everything you were living for was a lie.

    Now for those of them that are aware what liberalism stands for and are still going? Straight to hell.

        Not OP but I think they meant supporters of neoliberal economic policy and somewhat progressive social policies. “Liberal” like American liberal politics. The point being that they think they have good politics because they think trans people are people and aren’t the kind of right wing fanatic we get a lot of. They’re “left” to the extent that the American political spectrum allows for without understanding what “left” actually means, without being conscious of the overarching machinations that make then think their politics are good even as they continue to feed a system that intentionally blinds them to any honest criticism.

          neoliberal economic policy

          ??? which means… what, exactly?

          “Liberal” like American liberal politics.

          ??? You mean like the broad spectrum of … whom, exactly?

          the definition of liberal is caring what gender someone is or isn’t…?

          You haven’t begun to define the terms and ideology of what being a “liberal” means. I don’t mean to drop your sails, but you spent a lot of words saying nothing.

          I again ask - define “liberal”.

            I wrote a long bit explaining what they really mean with reference to Phil Ochs and all the contradictions and contrarianism involved in people who use liberal as a slur, it’s not worth it though because the real answer is ‘too left = tankie, not left enough = liberal, everyone is bad and should be ignored except for me’

        Liberal: White, far-right, genocidal, usually rich and supports literal nazis because their opponents are communists.

        In a modern day context: Supports Ukraine because they’re white and full of nazis, supports Israel because they’re white and full of nazis.
