On the end of the ship that's rising while the other end goes down.
Leftists are the only one trying to fix the boat. The liberal will say we must compromise with the shooter, and try to vote him out of the boat in four years.
We need to stop using ambiguous terms like "leftist". It's way too broad and doesn't help anyone. I identify as liberal (also too broad), and I likely believe in 90% of the policies you advocate for.
Liberals are reactionaries who wish to return to a previous status quo. Leftists wish to dismantle the existing systems, and establish a socialist system. Two goals in absolute opposition to each other.
Yeah, that's not the definition of "liberal"
This should be good. Let’s hear your version.
In political terms, "liberal" typically refers to a political and moral philosophy based on ideas of liberty, consent of the governed, and equality before the law. However, the meaning of "liberal" varies somewhat depending on context and location.
In the United States, liberalism generally refers to:
- Support for civil liberties and individual rights
- Advocacy for social equality and justice
- Belief in government intervention to address social and economic inequalities
- Support for progressive taxation and social welfare programs
- Emphasis on regulatory oversight of business and industry
In the broader international and historical context, liberalism is associated with:
- Support for democratic systems of government
- Protection of civil liberties and human rights
- Free markets with some government regulation
- Separation of church and state
- Rule of law and legal equality
K. Not talking about liberals in theory. I’m speaking of the self-identifying liberals as they exist in the world today. An absolute menace.
"self-identifying liberals as they exist in the world today"
The world is a big place. Not sure if you mean "liberal" in the US context, "Liberal" as in the Canadian political party. "Neo-liberal" as in Economic position of Friedman economics, etc...
Leftist is also a relative term and isn't very useful. You likely believe in important structural reforms surrounding minimum wage (perhaps UBI), environmental protection, universal affordable/accessible healthcare, strict banking regulation, drastic progressive taxation, harsh penalties for white collar crime, etc... But "left" of what, I doubt youre pushing for authoritarianism or communism?
My point is there are literally Nazis we are fighting right now. Maybe stop with the infighting as a result of ambiguous labels.
It’s not infighting. Liberals are reactionaries trying to return to a status quo they enjoyed. Leftists want to move forward to build an equitable world. Two completely opposing goals.
But go on with your obfuscation.
You're fighting me for some reason (a self described liberal), who also wants to move the world forward to build an equitable world. By your definition I might be a leftist, but I (and others) don't identify with that label.
Liberals will give a pass to Nazis, so long as they call themselves a Democrat. Not interested in allying to build that kind of world.
Well I don't give passes to Nazis (and the world is a bigger place than just the US). I guess I'll just vote in favour of policies that we both support, rally against policies and parties that we both hate, and continue to advocate for a more equitable world.
You might not call me an ally, but I'll call you one. (at least based on our limited interaction)
"Fixing the boat" implies they are successfully doing anything other than complain. Leftists are sitting in the boat yelling at the Liberal for not fixing the boat.

I don't understand the point of these paper-thin political comics. They don't make me laugh and they don't have a real message.
Comics don't have to be funny, they can be used to show a message/point of view. A great example I can think of is "Maus".
And if you don't like/get the message, that's fine. To each their own.
Pizzacake definitely isn't funny, nor are their political comics very sharp. Seems more like pandering their fanbase
