Yesterday, I talked (online) with someone who I told that I'm a communist, and using these exact words, they refer to me as a "liberal" later on when I said I don't support Biden:

"I didn't know there were liberals who don't support Biden."

...even though I literally told this person (who was definitely a chud) that I'm a communist.

To chuds, everything to the left of Marjorie Taylor Greene is basically liberal, SJW, woke, communist.

You got the vaxx? Fucking anarchist Stalin lover.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

For sure, but it's not even just chuds ime, it's the majority of the US population that thinks the "further left" something or someone is, the more "liberal" it is. Even many liberals think this.

Similar to Angel's story, a while back I told someone (an acquaintance I met irl) that I considered myself a communist and their response to me was:

"I'm pretty liberal myself, but communism is too liberal even for me."

There were several other people present and none of them thought this was a strange thing to say. blob-no-thoughts

When the Soviets sent the dog Laika into space I'm pretty sure the dog understood astrophysics better than your average liberal understands their own ideology.

You'll have identical luck asking them to find a stick with only one end.

I'm assuming that "liberal" for liberals just means "progressive". So like, you don't care that much about thy marginalised?? Wtf.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

Telling chuds you hate libs too can really break their brains lol

[-] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

that's when you call them a liberal, because you're correct and they're not

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

I talked with someone offline who used the term "liberal" to mean something like "for a better society, progress, for a better world"

Basically just an ignorant rationalization of american liberal vs conservative political understanding.

I got banned on Political [email protected] for linking settlers. Reason: "racist"

[-] [email protected] 35 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Anti white racism. Literally the worst kind of racism that's ever existed. Think of all those poor mayos that had to hear the word cracker spoken to them.

Edit: @[email protected] I just noticed that you're not from this instance. Sorry that's sarcasm.

I accidentally revealed my power level at a pub once when a white friend's brother visiting town brought up "it's kinda lame there's no cool slurs for white people" And without skipping a beat, I listed "No purpose flour, honkey, cracker, cumskin, Yakub's mistake, spiceless satan, melanoma bait, pale comparison"

[-] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

No purpose flour

lmao that's even better than "paper-impersonating bleach demon"

[-] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

pale comparison

Sundodger is a good one

[-] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

What the fuck? That’s tortured logic even for stormfront.world

Like, they’re at least facially progressive in the Reddit / white suburban mom sense.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

I don't understand it either but the mod I messaged ignored me 🤷

Settlers is the book that made me truly hate white people. It's good, folks.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

What's that book that's like Settlers that's more lib-friendly and academic?

Edit: Thanks for all the responses.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

I'd like to know as well

unnecessary sarcasm

[-] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

Wretched of the Earth by Fanon?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

The Counter-Revolution of 1776 by Gerald Horne. It's all the content of Settlers, but with a presentation that's much harder for libs to dismiss out of hand.

The Conquest of America: The Question of the Other by Tzvetan Todorov (?)

Zak Cope: Divided World Divided Class.

i don't think settlers is particularly illuminating about the palestinian context or settler-colonialism in the general sense

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

The general answer is that Sakai was talking about the bourgeois mentality of white "leftists" and our inability to feel solidarity with the exploited non white people. The pedantic answer is that Sakai explicitly ties US settlerism to zionism.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Actually you're the liberal for not carrying a copy of Settlers with you at all times to quote from.
