"Political violence is unacceptable in america" proceeds to bomb the ever living shit out of the middle east
It's the antigenocideS club. We're allowed to have one.
Scratch a liberal and a facsist bleeds
Sure we don't stop fascism, fascism lines my pockets so I have no reason to, and I actively hate any forms of socialism that could stop it. But I'm not a fascist! You're the fascist for calling me out! We need you deported for not voting my favorite rich asshole!
Careful, you are called a tankie if the wrong person sees you say this. They are beyond lost.
Whoever taught the word Tankie to liberals is the worst person in the history of political commentary.
No, that dubious honor belongs to the person who came up with "purity test" to describe having any standards at all.
Also very true. The purity test of less murder and adopting polices people want was far too much to ask.
Ohh uhhh I mean all hail the glorious party, I will never question my corporate liberal overlords again and be an advertiser friendly transfem™.
Liberals are fascists now? What in the fuck is going on lol
The American and British political Liberals have always been fine with Fascism, as long as that the Fascists did their fascist things abroad - I mean, just look at the kind of politicians American Administrations - Democrats and Republicans alike - always supported in South America and the Middle East (the current government in Israel and its Genocide that's turning into a New Holocaust being a painful present day example).
They were supposed to be against Fascism in the Homeland, but as we're seeing now in the US and UK the top "Liberal" politicians when Fascism starts doing its thing in their country quickly bend the knee and even turn collaborationist, which if you think about it makes sense: their objection to Fascism was never Ethical or Moral - had it been so they would've been against it abroad too - it was really only about power and wealth, so if the Fascists become the gatekeepers to that, well, the Liberals will do what it takes to keep their access to it, similarly to how they courted the Moneyed Elites when they were the gatekeepers to power and wealth.
Notice how he didn't respond to that but was comfortable with saying liberals defeated fascism.
When scratched, they bleed fascism.
Liberals being fascists outside their borders is the entire colonial era.
When they start to become fascist domestically too that's when you know shits about to get bad.
Nope, but Neoliberals sure are crying about the death of a fascist while ignoring the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Which is what the meme illustrates.
So that's where you moved to, you tankie piece of shit.
I haven't "moved to" anything, I'm just crossposting and explaining a meme illustrating a valid grievance with Neoliberal politicians.
95 of them voted to honor the fascist scumbag
In contrast, 27 voting to stop selling weapons to Israel is treated as a fucking miracle.
And not that it matters, but I'm nothing close to a tankie. Check the sidebar of the community you're in, dumbass.
I also remember when they all stood for and applauded an actual Nazi in Parliament.
The "anti-tankie" people don't talk about that very much do they?
Sitting on a fence is why we are where we are.
They are delusional.
Why would they? They love supporting their flavor of fascism. This time it'll work!
You can't have fascism without liberalism. The hand that dangles the carrot cannot be seen to also wield the stick.
Fascist enablers may as well be fascist themselves.
There is a big contingent on Lemmy that has constructed an enemy category called "liberals." They spend a lot of time talking to each other about what liberals believe and how liberals are, and almost all of it is just how stupid, weak, evil, and pointless liberals are. It's actually exactly the same thing that MAGA people do about... well, about liberals.
You can actually see how it operates in this meme. Pretty much none of the "liberals" on Lemmy have anything other than horror for the killing that's happening in Gaza, or are in any way upset about Charlie Kirk not being around anymore, but it's real important to their worldview that they constantly gather around and tell each other about how evil the liberals are, and so none of them will bat an eye at a post like this. Even if they don't really factually agree with it, it feels really good to experience the meme and talk to one another about how true it is.
Why they do this is deserves careful study. It's not immediately obvious but if you keep tugging on the thread and looking carefully at how they perceive the political world and why, it carries some key insights.
Nah. Fuck liberalism.
Pretty much none of the "liberals" on Lemmy have anything other than horror for the killing that's happening in Gaza
Feeling horror for the genocide isn't mutually exclusive to attempting to drown out the sound of their suffering and your and your party's complicity (which is what the liberals in the meme are doing, in case you're unfamiliar). Acknowledging that the genocide is happening and incredibly sad 😔 isn't very meaningful when you're actively trying not to talk about it.
If youve complained about democrats being criticized for enabling Israel over the last year, then you're in this picture.
You can ignore Phillip, he has repeatedly shown he is unwilling to learn and will lie and deflect any criticism of blue nationalism.
It should have been enough of an indication of the way that was going to go by the fact that he went out of his way to complain about liberal being used as a term of derision while also insisting that he definitely isnt one.

wtf. I consider myself a liberal, and i have no problems with nazis dying. I wish the palestinians could live in peace too.

Careful... you might get yourself kicked out of the liberal club with that attitude.
Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
