Hi, I'm a Libertarian Socialist. I think it's extremely damaging to act as though there's little difference between progressive liberals and conservative liberals. Whether we like it or not, in America progressive liberals are our allies against fascism. Furthermore, the less bigoted conservatives are our allies against more bigoted conservatives. Being in favor of the police is bad. Being in favor of corporations is bad. Liberals believe and do so many bad things that it's disgusting. But y'know what's worse than having stupid ideas on tax policy? Shutting down the right to protest, killing minorities, and making it illegal to be trans. Don't pretend they're equally as bad; people are getting tired of it for good reasons.

That's funny, cause the "progressive liberals" in the US put a fascist dictatorship in charge of my country.

And what's even more funny is that it doesn't even narrow it down to a continent.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I have no way of verifying what you claim. Furthermore, it doesn't change the calculations because I can't think of a sufficiently contrived way for putting a conservative liberal or an out-and-out fascist in the place of the progressives could have possibly made the situation better.

Now THAT is a Certified Mark Fisher moment.

These two groups wouldn't be in the same political party if we used Ranked Choice voting or something similar.
