My circle is so libbed up that they won’t even accept “yeah Stalin bad but I think it’s fair to say he genuinely believed what he said.”
The vibe in the west is definitely "if you earnestly believe in anything you're a rube or mentally ill, only nihilistic cynicism coated in irony sets you apart as an intelligent, civilized person .
I'm not surprised that in the garbage time of history, the venn diagram of anticommunism and xenophobia now includes "those crazy foreign zealot commies actually mean what they say."
This is probably because liberals don't actually believe in liberalism.
How could they? To believe in liberalism is to believe in a paradox. Protection of Private property is antithetical to equality. Liberals don't exist people are either fascists, crypto-fascists, ignorant, or comrades. And social democrats are not people (this is a joke. really they are a mix of ignorant and crypto -fascists)
Evil expects evil of others.
A thief believes everyone steals.
