Already libs are down voting and its only been a minute
But you damn dirty commies disagreed with meeeeeeeeee!
Surprisingly the ratio is still very high tho (>90%), usually proper socialist memes that are controversial for “left”-liberals get downvoted quite hard here as well
How can you tell who’s downvoting?
Or is it a case of ‘everyone who downvotes me is a lib’?
Im an admin, I can see votes specific voters (along with when they voted)
Truth hurts, I guess.
People on this platform want to be victims so bad. There’s more posts about people complaining about other people complaining about them then there actually is.
Liberals thinking they’re part of the left because reactionaries hate them. Surprise, I don’t like them either just for different reasons?
no, it’s the same reason. liberals are still right-wing, they just want to dominate minorities instead of exterminate them. it’s still white supremacy and fascism.
Liberals thinking they’re part of the left because their fellow reactionaries hate them.
Fixed that for you.
I’d wager most leftists were liberals before becoming leftists.
So this may convert some new brethren!
Welcome aboard! Fill this glass bottle with gasoline and pass it on.I’d wager most leftists were liberals before becoming leftists.
Well, every person born in the west (and most other parts of the world these days) gets drenched in either liberal and/or fascist ideology (or, more usually, a combination of both) from birth… so that’s not exactly a risky wager on your part.
Mix it with oil or styrophor if you want it to burn longer
They aren’t independent of each other.
It’s always the most rancid take from a .world account.
Absolute losers over in .world, amirite?
Seriously
Agreed
It just has the toxic “intellectual” redditors since that’s the instance that was recommended most, but it’s not the majority of the users, just the highest concentration of them.
Context?
Any of the anarchist meme communities on lemmy
Agreed, if you consider anarchist leftist and not closet-libertarians
Is this even in question? Anarchism quite clearly fits within the sphere of libertarian ideas.
The weird part is thinking that’s a bad thing or somehow incompatible with leftism.
Yeah, but they also complain about liberals funnily enough.
Who doesn’t, honestly? If there’s one thing people of all political stripes can agree on it’s that liberals are annoying.
They are liberals, that’s why it’s funny.
liberal from an economic sense or a philosophical sense? there’s a difference
- French anarcho-communists invent the synonym “libertarian”
- US fascists locally co-opt the word to obfuscate the inseparable nature of capital and state
- Person on explicitly leftist forums vibe checks that by “anachist” you didn’t mean “libertarian”
I’m tired, boss 😂
…what kind of definition of libertarian do you have, that anarchists aren’t included in it?
Edit: There are non-leftist anarchists, like the whole post-left thing, but I have a feeling that’s not what you mean
Anarchists are libertarian revolutionary socialists, WTF?
Anarchist is considered libertarian left, while what we typically call Libertarian is libertarian right. Yes, Anarchist is libertarian, but with an emphasis on the welfare of people, while libertarian right is usually about the freedom of businesses to exploit the people.
Good.
If they weren’t it would essentially mean we’ve lost all relevance.

You seem to be thinking how a nationalist (or transnationalist if you simp for the EU) chauvinist liberal…

I’m not even from the USA lol, literally from Europe.
The EU is a union of financial capital and a bastion of it’s own reactionary neo-colonialism and imperialism…
Also you don’t sound like a socialist TBH
Hearing the word “reactionary” from a self-proclaimed leftist is a red flag, because it’s used the same way right-wingers use “woke”. Basically most can’t define it without looking it up, or explain how it applies to what they’re critiquing.
Hearing the word “reactionary” from a self-proclaimed leftist is a red flag,
Oh my good lord… where the fuck do you liberals get this kind of garbage from? PragerU?
Actually based on simple observation, like the fact that I’m seemingly the only one here who has defined “reactionary”.
I’m seemingly the only one here who has defined “reactionary”.
And since when do you get to “define” terms that you obviously don’t understand?
It’s common knowledge for every socialist TBH
A reactionary is somebody who wants to restore a previous status quo. Which us not something the EU is trying to do.
In the socialist/Marxist context it’s used differently just FYI

Okay, please educate me…
Aren’t liberals left wing? As in, to the left of the political center? In Canada our Liberal government is considered to be center left. Just how much is debatable, but left.
(neo)liberalism is the political center (for all of the west, atleast for now but it stands on shaky legs), center left is for example social democracy and center right would be christian democracy.
Well damn. I’ll look into this further later today when I’m not at work, but I honestly believed that liberals were center left with Tory conservatives being center right.
If you have any links to informative articles I’d appreciate them. Never too old to learn things.
Depends on who you ask really. According to the classical definition leftism begins at anti-capitalism. According to the mainstream, the left begins at government social programs. (srry if i made any typos)
No.
Dae tankie bad?

This is what the liberal brain thinks the left really believe
Not the average leftist, yes, but there is a sizeable number of people with strange beliefs…
Liberal memes: “Actually the leftists are worse because they don’t want us to be able to get rich even though I said I’m ok with gay people”
wat ._.
This is what liberalism does to you, if you’re not a leftist feel free to leave nobody is making you stay and be antagonistic
