Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
- No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
- Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
- This is a genAI friendly instance, so no complaining about genAI content.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

I don't think it's .world users. It's the red fasch. Try posting progressive/leftist comments in an .ml thread and get pounced on by people screeching about how their brand of imperialist, hyper masculine fashion, rugged indvividualist authoritarianism is acktually the best kind of communism.
Why not both ¯\_0_/¯ I've learned not to poke either anymore, but in this case we're talking about LW; and they are incredibly hard to talk to about socialism/anti-imperialism. Usually you immediately get shut down by their already assumed prejudices/opinions of them.
I'd normally not mind much, but since they're the huge majority, so you have almost no choice but to discuss politics with them, specifically. At least with ML i can just avoid it easily (ymmv)
I do, I do. I don't want to poke the hornet's nest or argue for no reason. It can be hard to log off sometimes when something so incredibly hypocritical gets posted.
Lol same. I try to not comment under political posts on lemmy, but sometimes i see something so hypocritical/blatantly wrong i just can't help it at all, i have to stir shit 😔
In my experience with dealing with authoritarian or state communists, they act like their communism is the only communism. They believe that state violence is necessary to achieve freedom and equality, among other things, and that anybody who believes different is naive.
Yeah, new deal with chinese characteristics/gottasuckstalinsdicksohardimsafefromthepurges is cringe, but they've been pretty stable. The libs are changing.
