I have found that liberals really, really, hate being exposed as equals to republicans.

'and I'm someone who considers myself to be on the left!'

I'm as left as they come, but...

I love this one because it lets you know up front that the rest of the post is going to be unhinged and will probably contain at least one use of the word "tankie".

Now I'm as conservative as they come, but I believe that landlord's rights has their origin in robbery. The landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent for even the natural produce of the earth.

Sorry sweetie, best I can do is partial cancelation of medical debt for Pell Grant recipients who start and operate a business in a disadvantaged neighborhood for at least two years.

Because the divide is about aesthetics. They want to be seen as hip. They are cultural parasites who suck any radicalism out of any movement and turn it into twitter slogans.

I've decided to stop using the words "liberal" and "conservative" as much as I can, and refer to them both merely as capitalists.

It’s fun to remind conservatives that they’re just another flavour of lib though

That's giving them too much credit. Most of the bootlickers you'll see don't own any capital and likely never will. Liberals are supremely cucked by the actual capitalists.

I was thinking more about what system they support, rather than what class they're a part of.

Destroying their sense of identity is one of the most effective things you can do.
