I genuinely feel bad for any liberals who haven't figured out they're basically just polite nazis. That's gotta be a really rough realization. Spending your entire life thinking you're doing the right thing only to suddenly have it revealed that everything you were living for was a lie.

Now for those of them that are aware what liberalism stands for and are still going? Straight to hell.

You somehow twisted this in your mind as some kind of gotcha that lets you preen in your selfish politics.

Define "liberal". Then maybe the rest of what you said can fall in place.

Not OP but I think they meant supporters of neoliberal economic policy and somewhat progressive social policies. "Liberal" like American liberal politics. The point being that they think they have good politics because they think trans people are people and aren't the kind of right wing fanatic we get a lot of. They're "left" to the extent that the American political spectrum allows for without understanding what "left" actually means, without being conscious of the overarching machinations that make then think their politics are good even as they continue to feed a system that intentionally blinds them to any honest criticism.

There's nothing progressive about airstrikes on civilians. Never has been.

Liberal: White, far-right, genocidal, usually rich and supports literal nazis because their opponents are communists.

In a modern day context: Supports Ukraine because they're white and full of nazis, supports Israel because they're white and full of nazis.

A Russia apologist, Surprise Surprise. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you...

I fucking hate this so much. Anyone whose against nazis in Ukraine must automatically be a russia apologist. There is zero other explanation. Flat out the one case where they can flat out support nazism and then spin it like you're the one whose problematic for calling it out.

You do realize how dangerous that is, right? Remember how Prager U called everyone they didn't like communists and they were so universally disliked that it resulted in a huge surge in people identifying as communist? What makes you think this won't happen here?

And that's why they do it. It's two fascist nations are fighting, they want you to pick a side because regardless of which one you do, they win.

These Russian sock puppets try really hard.
