The federation drama really drives home the fact that liberals despise anyone and everyone with better politics than themselves. They want a monopoly on "being good" and being shown up enrages them. (hexbear.net)

Every liberal does it too, from center right radlibs to far-right "conservatives": the most extreme right fringe liberals hate the mainstream liberals for not being bigoted enough, the mainstream libs hate the radlibs for not being cruel enough, and the radlibs hate the left for not being chauvinist enough.

Denouncing chauvinism in particular is like a liberal moral event horizon, a cardinal sin against their self-interested belief in the righteousness of the imperial hegemon that keeps the treats flowing at gunpoint.

The English translation reads really weirdly, or at least the one I have. I've never felt so often that I've lost the beginning of a sentence by the end of it. But it's worth the effort, once a thread starts getting pulled it becomes easier to grasp where the sentences are going and gets a good flow

Yeah I read it in Italian and having then seen the English translation is does seem like the translator was not going for maximum clarity.

Lol agreed, definitely a translation attempting like a word for word/as close to the original wording as possible. My brain can think ok in romance language structure but not if the words are english. Still glad it exists and it's not like I could do better from Italian
