Idealism is not a slur, but the philosophy that liberalism is built on. It posits that reality is shaped by people's ideas in their brains.

This leads to all sorts of horrifying stuff:

  1. People try to make their lies reality by trying to force other people to believe them.

  2. People dehumanize people who disagree with them since only human's ideas are the ones that supposedly shape reality.

  3. Whenever the idealists' ideas don't become reality, instead of questioning their ideology, they can just blame everyone who disagreed with them, for "bending reality the other way".

    Do radlibs have a MLM scheme where they get commission for getting people to vote for their cult leaders?

    (I mean that would explain why they're so desparate that they even try to shill voting to their worst enemies, the anti-imperialists)
