    If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…

    It’s all a farce. Spend some time on Hexbear and you’ll see where I’m coming from (actually, don’t, unless you want to get irrationally angry). Those people aren’t real communists; they’re fascists pretending to be communists. All they ever do is act like aggressive douchebags and talk shit about “liberals”. I’ve seen this exact behavior over on /r/The_Donald and on Fox news. They’re not even trying to hide their true colors. Hell, one of them even told me that republicans are liberals. 🤣 (edit: Screenshot in case link goes down)

      Yank interacts with the real world for the first time.

      Conservatives can be a variety of things, even communists. What you refer to as conservative is completely unrelated to conservativism and is just people who vote for a particular liberal party in your one ideology two party system. You’re a brainwashed populace thought to hate knowledge and learning so that you can be maximally exploited. You do not have any political understanding. Your election cycle engages with identity politics because they’re afraid of mentioning policy in case people start looking up what words mean. All your news sources are propaganda and you live in the most authoritarian country on earth ruled by dictators who do not value your opinion or needs.

      You can measure these. They’re not just words. For the first, you can compare the subset of the population who are experiencing some form of correction, be it prison or otherwise to the total population. For the second, you can compare opinion polls to the actual policy being enacted. In both cases you score as bad as it’s possible to score.

      And finally, everyone who supports liberal policies is a liberal. This includes people who are conservative in the global meaning of the word, but support, let’s say, a humane social democratic system with strong safety nets, but who’s backbone is an inhumane system of exploitation in the global south. This includes someone who is socially progressive and wants major political changes, but who’s fiscal politics are that of neo-liberalism.

      P.S. Everyone hates liberals.
