That's why they hate us deep down. They can't reconcile the fact that they are not actually the most progressive and tolerant person in the room.

We actually support the LGBT community, we don't just say we do. We don't just wait until politicians finally get on this side of the fence and then cheer when they finally get on the right side of history.

Liberals are the kind of person to say their community is accepting of all genders, all nationalities, all minorities etc. but then not ban fascists who threaten that acceptance (and even lives) because everyone deserves free speech. It's like they walk half the way, then suddenly stop and stand there, claiming this is actually where the trail ends even though you and they can clearly see the trail keeps going beyond the horizon.

We have better politics in all ways.

  • We actually want things to get better
  • We actually don't want people to die, no matter if it's from homelessness, hunger, or Ukraine.
  • We actually want to hold our politicians accountable.
  • Shit, we actually want competent officials.
  • We actually want democracy, not whatever capitalism passes off as democracy (hey here's a riddle, you get to vote every 4 years and your boss can decide your schedule without consulting you! Is that democracy?)
  • We actually recognize fascism, even when it comes from liberals.
  • We actually fight against it too.
  • We are able to deeply analyze societal issues and not simply repeat from our high school history lessons.
  • We know our history and geopolitics. Liberals will repeat from NATO propaganda. We've actually read about it.

This is impossible to the liberal who thinks so highly of themselves that they must, by default, be the most accepting and progressive person in the world.

And so they resort to calling you a CCP shill instead of actually examining their privilege and positions.

Face it liberals, we are actually the person you think you are. Not the person you want to be, because you don't want to be anything other than what you are right now (because as a liberal you are, after all, perfect). But the person you and your fellow liberals spent years building up as being a pretty great guy.

And yes that includes whatever the fuck conservatives think they are.

Liberals, through a combination of learned helplessness and unearned arrogance, and with the help of a whole lot of western media propaganda, see the presence of societal failures as better than some imaginary worse alternative. They see corrupt men in power as The Adults In The Room That Get Shit Done And Make The Hard Decisions just like in their Prestige TV treats. They see atrocities as not only necessary but good if they happen to people they don't like. The status quo looks fine from their water cooler chats and within their wine caves.

They see atrocities as not only necessary but good if they happen to people they don't like.

See the way they gleefully talk about how much red states "deserve it" when something terrible happens and their governments fail to respond to environmental catastrophes, because they "voted for the wrong people".

Right now, offline even, wine cave warrior liberals around me have openly talked about how Ukranian "deserters" that try to avoid conscription (CW: fascistic imagery and desire for punitive murder)

spoilerdeserve to be "put down like dogs" for not gladly jumping into the meat grinder against the Russians.

I love that it looks like this on Lemmygrad, really makes it feel like an authentic wine cave warrior experience:

Hexbear emotes be like dprk-soldier

(I feel the need to explain this. One time someone tried to upload an image of a DPRK soldier and the resolution/file size were so large it literally crashed the entire site for a while)

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 1 year ago

I appreciate the explanation, but I did lurk on Hexbear for a while, I would've made an account, but with federation I decided that this account is fine.

I wasn't there for the Smallest DPRK soldier JPEG sadly, but it sounds like a fun time.

Funniest reason the site was down for over a day

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

I love it; perspective shot!

[-] SpaceDogs@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Can I ask who the people in the emotes are?

[-] robinn2@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

First one is a guy who ran as a democrat for some local position and had these self-righteous rants where they said liberals need to be “realistic” (and therefore basically republicans, and anyone campaigning for change beyond basically mirroring republicans is “crazy”).

Second is from this vid. They’re both emotes that just mean ”liberal.”

[-] SpaceDogs@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Thank you! Also I love the comments on the video, I was surprised people were actually against the tiktok person.

Discussion Community for fellow Marxist-Leninists and other Marxists.

Rules for /c/communism

Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.

  1. No non-marxists

This subreddit is here to facilitate discussion between marxists.

There are other communities aimed at helping along new communists. This community isn't here to convert naysayers to marxism.

If you are a member of the police, armed forces, or any other part of the repressive state apparatus of capitalist nations, you will be banned.

  1. No oppressive language

Do not attempt to justify your use of oppressive language.

Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, edit your post or comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.

We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned.

TERF is not a slur.

  1. No low quality or off-topic posts

Posts that are low-effort or otherwise irrelevant will be removed.

This is not a place to engage in meta-drama or discuss random reactionaries on lemmy or anywhere else.

This includes memes and circlejerking.

This includes most images, such as random books or memorabilia you found.

We ask that amerikan posters refrain from posting about US bourgeois politics. The rest of the world really doesn’t care that much.

  1. No basic questions about marxism

Posts asking entry-level questions will be removed.

Questions like “What is Maoism?” or “Why do Stalinists believe what they do?” will be removed, as they are not the focus on this forum.

  1. No sectarianism

Marxists of all tendencies are welcome here.

Refrain from sectarianism, defined here as unprincipled criticism. Posts trash-talking a certain tendency or marxist figure will be removed. Circlejerking, throwing insults around, and other pettiness is unacceptable.

If criticisms must be made, make them in a principled manner, applying Marxist analysis.

The goal of this subreddit is the accretion of theory and knowledge and the promotion of quality discussion and criticism.
