      Because liberals can only ever critique some symptoms and never the root causes which leads to an inability to address the problems of neoliberalism leads to the rise of space for fascist ideology?

        maybe? But tangentially providing space for shitty people doesn’t make you a shitty person. Housing someone who is/was a murder doesn’t just make you a shitty person.

        Politics is quite literally a game of 4d chess unless played from the individuals perspective, in which case its a funny put name on paper and put it into a box game instead.

        I feel like the vast majority of self described liberals would have plenty of issues with violent and fascist-esque institutions running for government positions. I can’t think of any well known liberals that are ambivalent to trump, let alone supportive of him.

          “Politics is quite literally a game of 4d chess unless played from the individuals perspective, in which case its a funny put name on paper and put it into a box game instead.”

          Why can’t politics be more than voting from an individual’s perspective?

          Also, if you know the person you’re providing a house for is a serial killer and you do nothing… You are a shitty person.

            unless you’re a politician or a bad faith individual who likes to undermine politics, there is literally nothing else for you to do lmao.

            Outside of that you might be doing shit like canvassing, but that’s nothing more than encouraging people to vote, and if it is, then it’s fraudulent as you’re influencing peoples votes unjustly.

            Also, if you know the person you’re providing a house for is a serial killer and you do nothing… You are a shitty person.

            why though? What if they’ve gotten out of prison? What if it’s also quite literally, not your fucking problem? You’re not encouraging them to kill people. Are we saying that married men who are serial killers should have their wives and families arrested and thrown in jail just for being in proximity to them? What about wayne gacy?

            Oh my god this is the ‘Trump is playing 4d chess’ meme but for liberals

            except for the fact that it’s true, global politics is quite literally a game of 4d chess, it is the most delicate and fragile game of jenga ever created, the distance we are from complete and total economic failure at any given moment is much smaller than you would think.

      You mean, apart from the fact that liberals cannot protect the status quo without violent fascists and therefore protects and enables fascism?

      Apart from that?

        how the fuck do you expect liberals to protect the status quo against violence? With more violence? That seems counter intuitive, this is literally an impossible proposal here.

          With fascists. That’s how, Clyde.

          Don’t tell me it’s impossible. Tell it to the liberals who applauded Biden when he added more armed fascist goons to the streets when people were demanding he defund and/or abolish them.

          Doesn’t seem that impossible to them, does it?

            fighting fascism with fascism seems like a highly russian propaganda bot take to me, but what do i know.

            Don’t tell me it’s impossible. Tell it to the liberals who applauded Biden when he added more armed fascist goons to the streets when people were demanding he defund and/or abolish them.

              Good God but you are dense. Have you ever seen liberals oppose fascism in any way whatsoever? Why would they oppose the very thing that allows the liberal order to exist in the first place?

            idk who let the hexbear alts into this thread, but it is rife with people who should not be allowed to go outside for causing spontaneous extreme weather events with their sheer spite for the existence of the world.

          You’d think so but turns out Liberals are voting for Genocide as long as it’s not them being Genocided.

            who the fuck are they supposed to vote for? Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. There is LITERALLY no way to win here, you are just a sad seething fuck with nothing better to do than shitting and pissing yourself when presented with one mildly annoying option, and a mildly less annoying option. Nothing is fucking perfect, humans don’t agree on anything, land rights are a fucking mess, the ONLY and i mean THE ONLY solution to this problem is literally war.

            The best thing you can do is encourage people to vote for problems they’re passionate about, rather than sitting here trying to undermine the very fucking concepts that the western world is currently built upon and struggling to maintain.

              No you can demand Democrats to stop the ceasefire and plunge them in the polls.

              There is something you can do. and saying “vote democrat anyway” is undermining it.

                and then you can wait for the republicans to win, because they literally do not care about the israel palestine war, and will simply fucking bomb the entire fucking thing within about 2 months.

                But yeah no, it’s definitely the democrats that are the problem here.

                Also i didn’t say vote democrat, i said vote period. So nice try i guess?
