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 don't get mad at injustice. They have nothing to offer when you bring up why injustices even happen in the first place, and will eventually get angry at you if you don't drop the issue. Do liberals get mad about cop city? About charter schools? About health care? About homelessness? About the millions that have died due to COVID?
No. They don't. They go "Ah jeez that's terrible" and then they act like they can't think about it anymore because "it can't be helped."
Fucking hate that.
They do... for about five minutes before they're switched back on to "this is all bad, but what can we do about it?". As long as they have their state department designated enemies to rally against, they'll blindly follow along since "we have it bad, but those ones are even worse!!".
