Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

"I don't understand why you're arguing against voting for the neoliberals D: " followed by "we're all leftists here!" is their favorite combo
Communist/Anarchist: Opposes genocide
Liberal: You're splitting the left!
Liberals are not part of the Left, but they think they are.
And whenever they are firmly rejected by socialists historically speaking, they play the victim and embrace fascism because they "had to".
What are historical examples of liberals playing the victim and embracing fascism? Sources would be nice.

Ah thank you. I appreciate the resources (also Glados!)
Yep got the exact same lecture when I called out the ""leftists"" in question for voting for genocidaires and imperialists for literally nothing since it was very clear they weren't going to win anyways (and what do you know, all that genocide support they did DID turn out to be all for nothing). All so that they could possibly maybe get some more handouts. It just got comical because they tried to pivot to explaining how voting for the democrats doesn't equal supporting the democrats??? Like, what????? If that isn't "real" support then genuinely wtf is.
Leftism is when you bow down to imperialists to get free stuff, I guess.
I had to re read this part because I was convinced I missed some words but even after reading it again I'm still confused by it
I shit you not that is what they were saying, and I was like sooo people who vote for Trump don't support Trump then...?? They really really just wanna have their cake and eat it too and make these arguments as a gut reaction when they feel threatened
I unironically heard some "socialist" (they felt more like a conservative pretending to be a socialist) say something like "we are all socialists here" after I pointed out them complaining about cancel culture or something else.
