every single politics thread is just full of liberals pointing out “wow the party of small government huh lol” or “so much for party of personal freedoms huh lol” as if anyone else isnt noticing that republican/GOP marketing is an obvious lie and that even their base knows that

they really think pointing out this obvious hypocrisy is breaking the news to anyone else. and its just like, we get it dude. we all get it. we’ve all known this for a long time, im glad you’re catching up

99% of politics libs espouse or even interact with is just the same “republicans are hypocrites” bullshit over and over.

and by the way, these people are entirely unaware of their own blatant hypocrisies. i should go around saying “party of equality unless you’re trans huh lol” or “party of peace unless you’re palestinian i guess huh lol” but i dont because i know they know they don’t actually believe that shit and i know we all know it so there’s no use in pointing it out unless i wanna be jerked off by other people who already agree with me. guess that explains why thats the extent of liberal resistance to fascism. voting for diet fascism and then calling out obvious hypocrisy like nobody else noticed somehow

          It’s true, I once opened a copy of The Governance of China and it started emitting hypnotic mind control rays and it turned me into a Manchurian candidate sissypee sleeper agent waiting for my activation code to destroy democracy

      If the communists had the same scale of power the liberals possessed right at this exact moment, there wouldn’t be a fascist problem in the first place.

      The fascists are thriving because of the system of decaying liberal capitalism fundamentally considers fascism as a more profitable alternative to socialism and your adherence to the status quo fails to accomplish anything beyond being the pawl that halts all progress while the reactionaries slowly grind the ratchet wheel backwards every day.

      I’ll bite and take your reply seriously

      When will tankies learn that constantly attacking Liberals is exactly what fascists want them to be focused on.

      Most fascists are simply unaware of any splits between liberals and communists because they consider both to be part of some nebulous “left”.

      And furthermore, liberals, who have spent the past many decades doing everything in their power to violently supress communists have literally no right to ask for “left unity” from those communists come election time.

      Your liberal politicians have made it their life’s work to destroy china or the ussr or domestic progressive movements or even non-communist nations like Palestine.

      Maybe liberals should stop killing and bombing so much if they want more allies and less enemies.

      Incredibly cringe. Fascists want communists dead, though they usually don’t even know what communists even are and will kill you, too, liberal, and call you a “tankie” while doing it. Because “tankie” doesn’t mean anything except someone to the accuser’s left that pushes back on anti-left smearing.

      And that is your level of discourse and understanding and it is why we must distinguish ourselves from you as much as possible. You’re the civility troll for imperialist genocide.

      assuming this is good faith, it depends on how you “attack”(criticize) liberals.

      criticizing them from the left is absolutely not what fascists want. this is more or less in alignment with OP’s post.

      i sincerely doubt fascists want people to criticize liberals for not supporting unions, work place safety, higher wages, environmental regulations, minority rights, universal healthcare, an increased tax on corporate profits/capital gains, doing things that ACTUALLY hurt the Republican’s political agenda, etc.

      There’s little meaningful difference between the blue team and the red team in American politics. They’re both neoliberal ghouls. Communists are correct in opposing them both.

      Look, I was told to vote for Biden in 2024 and that’s exactly what I did. I am a good person on the right side of history so I’m voting Biden in 2028 as well.

      What more do you people want from me?!?!

      The fascists don’t differentiate between anyone to the left of Joe McCarthy.

      Obama is a communist. Biden is a communist. AOC is a communist. Clinton is a communist. 95% of them are politically illiterate or understand so little so as to be functionally politically illiterate, the 5% that know are grifters.

      There is nobody out there giving orders to western communists

      You on the other hand voted for a genocide because The Party said you had to. You’re projecting your servility.
