All of the examples are just clips of people saying they don't like liberals. What is the observation to be taken here? These two political positions are opposed to ours and therefore the same?

Liberals are mush brained. Put me in the screenshot. Make sure to keep the justification out.

Both tankies and conservatives are making fun of me for shitting my pants, they must be exactly the same berdly-smug

A large number of Americans genuinely believe politics is a one-dimensional axis which runs from infinity Conservative to infinity Liberal. Therefore, if you are shitting on Liberals you must be right-wing. This is pretty deeply baked in. Political polling institutions which are ostensibly staffed by political scientists often frame the left simply as "very liberal." Television political coverage does more or less the same thing. Orgs like DSA, if mentioned, are portrayed as very liberal. Communism is used only as an epithet, but is functionally interchangeable with Liberalism. Non-affiliated voters are universally described as "independents," which are universally assumed to be somewhere in-between Liberal and Conservative (never outside). This is also why the solution to every political issue is framed in terms of dialog and meeting in the middle. This is the only thing which is even possible under this paradigm. To resist compromise is to be divisive. Division is bad, against the rules, and means you want to destroy The System ("Democracy," which is good).

Then you have the smart-asses who learned about the Political Compass website sometime after 9-11 and think they're Machiavelli because they understand there are actually two axes (with Margaret Thatcher and Joseph Stalin in the same corner).

Our political education is really fucking bad.

liberals defeat fascists

Pretty bold to call Stalin a liberal.

[-] [email protected] 44 points 3 days ago

All those liberals who put a stop to the Palestinian genocide, and definitely didn't smugly support it

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

I want an Overton Window so far left that Stalin looks like a liberal...

You don’t need to be a liberal to be against authoritarianism and the tankies that defend it.

Liberals are authoritarian too, but by rhetorical sleight of hand they call it rules-based international order or market forces

  • Landlord evicts single mother rendering her homeless: Just the way the economy works

  • Maoist peasants rise up against landlords: Horrifying authoritarianism

but what about the authoritarian totalitarian stalinist maoist lenninist marxist cultural-marxist collectivized red bureaucratic planned economy KGB censored thought police speech police communist socialist surveillance slave police state dictatorship regime? Huh? What if they take my balls and distribute it?

Liberals defeat fascism by establishing a student loan debt forgiveness program for Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in disadvantaged communities

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

And then they let it expire after whatever bill that established it comes up for renewal, and blame the new party lightning rod (see: Joe Manchin)

name one time when liberals ever defeated fascists lol

[-] [email protected] 26 points 3 days ago

They defeat the fascist scourge of homeless tent encampments that make moderately well off local residents feel uncomfortable

[-] [email protected] 54 points 3 days ago

Fascists are the foot soldiers of liberalism used to crush leftists.

Libs are so convinced of their war propaganda that they think they actually did anything.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago

I mean, they came in at the last 15 minutes and took all the credit. That's something I guess?

Genocide apologia and deleting comments addressing it is doing something.

[-] [email protected] 62 points 3 days ago

This person is doing this rhetorical trick really incompetently, I could easily find worse-sounding and less disjointed quotes from here

[-] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago

Yeah this is the "Zionist or Nazi"^[same-picture] thing but with anti-communism instead

[-] [email protected] 60 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You know what? Maybe we should do a liberal vs fascist one.

The libs provided plenty of material during the last election run lol.

[-] [email protected] 44 points 3 days ago

I've been tempted to, as soon as it's about "foreign policy" they converge

You could even just do Churchill vs [self-identified] fascists and it'd be pretty tough

I found these actually pretty easy to tell apart. Do liberals actually find these viewpoints similar?

[-] [email protected] 67 points 3 days ago

Online liberals can't even provide a functional definition of their own ideology, on top of being political and historical illiterates, their entire worldview is idiosyncratic and random

One minute they're cheering on genocide, the next they're waxing poetic about the virtues of civility, they have no learned ability to discern political distinction

They worship power and will overlay their random jumble of opinions with whatever signals the establishment media is pumping out at the moment

[-] [email protected] 44 points 3 days ago

I really don't like to reduce it all as people with reading/critical thinking problems, however theres a lot who can't escape from the team red vs team blue dynamic and this really shows it

I wish that liberals learned about WWII

[-] [email protected] 40 points 3 days ago

Liberals understanding of WWII is: Hitler was bad, good guy America swooped in and saved the day, the end.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Hitler was bad, good guy America swooped in and saved the day by nuking Japan, the end.

Hitler and Stalin were best friends and teamed up to take over the world, until Private Ryan and his Band of Brothers invaded Normandy and put a stop to it

WHO SAID IT?

  1. I wish some things were different from how they are.

  2. Hi.

  3. The sky is blue.

  4. I love [spoiler].

  5. I'm getting kinda hungry.

Can't tell, can you? This proves every person/group is the same as every other person/group.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago

I'm getting kinda hungry.

Clearly this is a tankie because communism is when no food.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

I love [spoiler].

Alright, now imagine if they said Hitler. Clearly this must be a fascist (not the worst kind, a communist, but the second worst kind)

Please genie from the magic lamp give me the same free time as this goat weirdo.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

These liberals who "can't tell socialists apart from conservatives" are clearly crypto-fascists. The solution to fascism is obvious to them because it just means assimilation into what they see as a neutral apolitical project: the American Empire.

I see this split as an echo of the conflict between Yankee capitalists and Confederate slavers. They both dream of empire, but one is much better at diffusing their use of force so it seems like an inevitably instead of a specific policy choice.

Because nonduality is totally alien to Westerners, good luck understanding dialectics when the world only exists in rigid boxes, and the only dialectics understood is Fichtean triplicity that doesn't show the whole picture. Ignorance makes it all easier to divide us.

Was anyone aware of the stormfront or sjw subreddit? I would scroll it sometimes and it was almost never hard to tell. I genuinely find it hard to believe that libs actually struggle to tell the difference, and aren't just trying to make a fake point.
