Same energy: Liberals lecturing me about how I’m “privileged” and “working against my best interests” for not sucking off the ghouls who brazenly support and conduct the imprisonment and deportation of my actual fucking family members
Saying this to a Palestinian is many layers of fucked. I’m not sure how liberals can live with themselves.
I’ve been thinking about this a bit today, and I think you’re right at least in regards to the argumentative liberals we see online. Irl liberals in my experience are just sort of in the first stages of the pipeline towards the left (might be different in other countries I’m in Aus).
The worst liberals will throw around the word tankie as an excuse to treat you like vermin, even if you despise tankies and have never once expressed a tankie point. You can’t talk about tolerance if your first move when someone disagrees with you is to shit on them in order to feel superior…
I know what you mean, and I feel like there are a lot of people in my own community who would identify as liberal but are actually leftist in ideology. I feel like online it’s the reverse – lotta people who call themselves leftist but do nothing but defend liberalism.
