Especially how suddenly they will turn on said people. They can dismiss and dehumanize someone they brand as crazy without any remorse. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds, I guess.
Ableism is the last bigotry hill they have for polite liberal society. Where reactionaries would just call you a slur, liberals would say some ableist bullshit.
Amazing how you only see liberals doing this. Conservatives dehumanize anyone who isn’t straight or cis, dismissing them as brainwashed and mentally ill. Conservatives started the supposed cancel culture a long, long time ago, literally murdering people or completely destroying their lives for being in interracial relationships, being atheists, being gay. Women have been called crazy and hysterical for having emotions for a long time. But as soon as liberals start ostracizing conservatives for having reprehensible opinions, conservatives are outraged and victimized.
Edit: Ah, you’re from Hexbear. I like a lot of the Hexbear community, but I don’t understand why most Hexbear outrage is directed at people who are much, much closer ideologically to them than the right. I never see hexbears directing their outrage towards conservatives.
Yes, and liberals are guilty of enabling conservatives to do so, by knee-capping the left and by “reaching across the aisle” to the right.
outrage is directed at people who are much, much closer ideologically to them than the right.
Fuck off. Liberals are to the right of Bush at this point. They only care about the status quo. If they cared about marginalized people they wouldn’t be whitewashing Azov Nazis and doing fuck all to stop the transphobic and misogynistic laws from being passed in America. Liberals can’t even call themselves anti-capitalists anymore. What have the Dems done for leftism? Are they trying to abolish landlords? Put forward a rent cap? Universal healthcare? Free education? Hell no, half of them are landlords themselves. To say they have more in common with the left than the right is laughable.
Also, we mean liberal as in anyone who subscribes to neoliberal capitalism. That’s the Dems and the Conservatives. We do criticize conservatives too, but usually, we don’t even bother differentiating between the two major US parties because they’re so alike and both serve the interests of capitalism in the end.
rule 8 lib
shut up and fuck off
Rule 8 yourself
this is the mental health comm, this is not a place for debate
now fuck off
There’s nothing about this post that is related to mental health, it’s just a rant about libs
What part of “not a debate” is hard to comprehend
Conservatives are liberals.
I don’t understand why most Hexbear outrage is directed at people who are much, much closer ideologically to them than the right.
Conservatives: Want a world where the vast majority of people are nothing more than expendable slave labor to a tiny clique of plutocrats
Liberals: Want a world where the vast majority of people are nothing more than expendable slave labor to a tiny clique of plutocrats
Us: Want to get rid of the plutocrats and bring about a new social order that recognizes the dignity and worth of every human life
Libs are totally much closer to us than the right, though, clearly
Conservatives: want to eliminate gay and trans people and non-Christians from existence
Liberals: a fuck ton of them are gay, trans, and not Christian and want to exist with equal rights
Yes, liberals are much closer to you than conservatives
And the moment one of those gay, trans, or non-Christian people loses their home because of discrimination, those same liberals will call for police to drive them off for being part of the “homeless nuisance.”
Conservatives: want to eliminate gay and trans people and non-Christians from existence
Liberals: “I guess I can’t stop you. Sorry gays, you should have voted harder. Anyway, lets continue drone striking brown people”
