Yeah, liberals... keep pretending that your superficial pearl-clutching when it comes to US-sponsored genocide makes you all that different than your (so-called) "conservative" cousins.
Some of us are capable of paying attention to more than one topic at a time.
Maybe... but I'm not seeing a lot of it. The hysterical piece of propaganda OP posted, for instance, merely regurgitates the exact same , "Liberals-vs-Trump" narrative lemmy.world is awash with while, predictably, completely ignoring the systems that created and enabled Trump to exist in the first place - systems, I might add, whose existence both liberals and the (so-called) "conservatives" (ie, liberals that are further down the liberal-to-fascist pipeline than the average liberal) do not question or challenge.
one side is far worse than the other
I'd say that it's more likely that one side is more overt when it comes to implementing the exact same US foreign policy directives - and I'd say that this is the true issue most liberals have a problem with.
When you live in a two party system, not voting is still picking a side.
The reason you have a two-party system is because a two-party system adequately represents the interests of those that benefit from the status quo. If you had more, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
So, I’m either liberal, or a right-winger. You seem to have some trouble deciding on how you want to insult me. Give it time. I’m sure you’ll come up with something…
Eventually.
And if you think lemmy isn’t far left… you’re not paying attention.
Are you trying to tell me that you are so politically incompetent that this is the first time you've come face to face with the fact that liberalism is a right-wing ideology?
Do tell, Clyde - in what fantasy world do you exist where the fetishization of capitalism, private property, and the nation state was in any shape or form "leftist?"
So again... explain to me what this "far left" is you right-wingers gibber about?
And agian... where is this (alleged) “far left leaning social media platform” you are referring to?
There's a saying amongst leftists, liberal... "Scratch a fascist and a liberal bleeds." You wouldn't understand what that means, because you get your politics from a bunch of talking heads on CNN and FOX news.
Tell me, liberal - just who did you think the "foxes" were that Malcolm X was talking about? Who did you think the "Bourgeoisie" is that leftists have been revolting against all this time?
Liberalism is a right-wing ideology - why did you think people who can be called leftist with a straight face wants to dismantle it?
I’ll tell you what, you stop with the “liberal” bullshit, and we can discuss this like adults. We both know you’re using it as an insult to circumvent the civility rule.
Until you stop, I can’t in good faith continue this with you because I don’t entertain discussions with bad faith antagonists.
And what does your "good faith" bring to the table?
You essentially admitted to me that your understanding of the very political ideology you ascribe to is based on nothing but the very propaganda said political ideology has wrapped itself in... are you even capable of having a "good faith" discussion about it?
