Considering how many libs have been constantly going on about how awful this was and that we shouldn’t partake in political violence while doing nothing to denounce Israel’s MANY crimes against humanity, I’m inclined to disagree.
The only people I’ve seen calling for less political violence have also denounced the violence in Palestine. Some people are just anti-violence, there’s no hypocrisy in that.
Is this true? I find conflicting answers to this question and I genuinely don’t have a fuckin clue. I see republicans talking about liberals like they are left, but then I see this repeated statement and I always look it up but never seem to get anywhere.
To a fascist, everything left of fascism is “radical left.” It’s mostly ignorance. You don’t become a rightist by being smart or nuanced.
Liberalism sounds leftist at first because the word suggests permissiveness. In reality, liberalism allows for the consolidation of wealth and power in ways that naturally result in society moving rightward. Neoliberals take it a step further by being more active in their theft of wealth and power rather than passive. Liberals are often described as “center-left” but they are essentially a kind of right-leaning centrist. You might also hear the term “enlightened centrist” used pejoratively for liberals who haughtily want to pretend to be “above” the left-right spectrum.
Leftism is ultimately about egalitarianism, particularly of wealth and power. This requires certain controls to prevent consolidation which results in rightist structures like feudalism, dictatorships, oligarchies, and the like. Liberals are against such controls, and so are enablers of rightism.
That’s… literally the opposite of reality.
Literally mods of toiletpaperusa on reddit bans anyone who makes fun of him.
So those people holding their ears or mocking the protesters in OP’s image? The video is from protesters reading off the names of children killed by Israel, outside the DNC.
It is literal reality.
You just linked to an account, and their most recent video is from January.
Good catch. Fixed.
opposite of hasbara reality

Notice which instance you are on and then remember that liberals are not leftists.

This is the leftist viewpoint, at least.
Very interesting and seemingly educated take. Thank you for the response.
