[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 28 points 10 months ago (3 children) Liberalism strikes again, always performative in their actions and ready to abandon their principles in a second. Start reading leftist news sources instead of this mainstream crap. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago In America corporations are people. All for profit corporations have one simple goal which is to increase their parofits. The governments that will allow them to do that are when Republicans are in charge. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 10 months ago (2 children) I don't know how you pin this on liberalism. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 point 10 months ago Because they don't know what any of it really means. They should quit playing that stupid game and accept that at the top it doesn't matter what they pretend to be. They are the moneyed classes, the power classes and they enjoy having people jump through their pretend ideologies while they hold on to their hoard of money. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 0 points 10 months ago (1 child) Because a leftist organisation would hold some conviction.
