    Okay, lots to unpack there and I’m not paid to do that so keep in mind that this is quick.

    It satisfied my question though, you think they’re a troll because you don’t like what they’re saying and they sure talk a lot. I’m sorry if you’re still processing this, but the United States is a brutal imperialistic power that has caused an immeasurable amount of damage to the world, not just people, the entire living world. Its entire system depends on extractive genocide to exist, and there is no reform for that. US citizens may choose to support or subscribe to that system, as many fascists and liberals do, or they may choose to challenge it, as many liberationists, climate activists, socialists, and anarchists do. Their leaders have most certainly chosen to continue it.

    People fought slavery in the Americas since it started and they had to fight for hundreds of years through the deaths of untold millions to do it. It was not, “just part of the law,” the law was built to facilitate that violence. Thomas Jefferson – many “founding fathers” actually – only had the resources to carry out a revolution because of slavery.

    I don’t think any serious socialist or anti-imperialist sees American culture as monolithic. Most of my knowledge on mutual aid comes from Black Liberationists in living memory. Instances like the Coal and Rent Wars are powerful examples of how that brutal system is also vulnerable to the popular forces of exploited people, which means there is a lot of them. But, you can’t support the state and ally yourself with those groups.
















  • Pompous. THAT’S STILL LIBERALISM YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER.

    AI levels of incoherence there but this site is small enough and your post history is varied enough that I believe this is truly just an igorant and satisfied person.

    Have you considered once in your entire bubble-wrapped life that the language you have been given to understand politics purposefully made you unable to interpret – and therefore criticize – the policies and philosophies in the systems of power around you? These are all liberal parties. Liberalism is not when you say the rainbow capitalism or let the raciazlied people bomb kids too, though they certainly seek to appropriate ideas of social justice and civil progress. It is a durable and dominant ideology with individualism and capitalism as its primary organizing principles. Morality is written around the imperatives of infinite growth, wealth accumulation (extraction), and individual human bodies rather than human relationalities to each other and the land/spaces they exist in. “Right wing” or “left wing” is relevant only in the purposefully disarming rhetoric adopted in settler-colonial states to obfuscate that dominance. When people correctly identify that liberals, as in liberalism not as in the colloquial term for “not a Republican Party supporter,” do not challenge fascism, they are identifying that the material interests of liberals does not conflict with the overt racism and authoritarianism of fascists. Australia is a country dominated by liberalism in the same way the US, and Canada are all dominated by liberalism as these are all eurosettler countries that hold individualism and capitalism as the highest principle in their social and political systems.

    Racism is fundamental to liberalism as capitalism depends on an exploitable class of people and race allows for a naturalized and immutable justification for exploitation of particular groups. Queerphobia is fundamental to liberalism as the hierarchy which is necessary to facilitate exploitation must control how people reproduce culturally as well as physically. Civil rights for racialized and queer people in these systems is articulated through the legal right to access capital both as a way to protect this imperative from violent challenges and redirect the threat these movements pose into the legal framework of the state to better control them.

    “Sweetie,” you have to fucking think about what these people and systems actually do and why. **You do not know what you are fucking talking about. ** When I say liberals are fucking insufferable because they never know what they’re talking about and what the stakes are in the rise of fascism, I’m talking about you. I do not care what you think you subscribe to, because you’ve said as explicitly as possible that you do not care to know what you believe in.

    I will not pay attention to your next comment, I won’t even read it. I post this only in the hopes that you aren’t some piece of shit who will never learn and in case there are other libs who may come across this comment thread and have their own internalized values challenged for once.


  • Who the fuck are you talking to rn? I’m not in the US.

    edit: On top of that, it’s hilarious to have yet another person fail to understand what liberalism is. Did I say, “Democratic Party of the USA”? Liberalism is not a specific group of politicians in one country, it is also not specific parties who call themselves liberals, it is a specific ideology organized around individualism and capital that emerged through settler colonialism. Shut the FUUUUUUCK up about shit you don’t know about like how self-righteous. Go proselytize on street corners if you’re so desperate.
