I must have higher standards for what constitutes proof than you have.

It's not that I disagree with your point or agree with the post you were replying to. I just don't see how your image supports or refutes any of it.

From your link: "In Europe and North America, the establishment of social liberalism (often called simply liberalism in the United States) became a key component in expanding the welfare state."

Idk, that seems compatible with most of the left-of-center spectrum, and certainly not something you would find a libertarian or conservative supporting. I can see how it's not compatible with auth-left positions, though.

Perhaps you're referring to neoliberalism, which, in my understanding, dropped all the social welfare stuff in favor of corporate welfare. In that case, I can understand how that term could be used as an insult.

In my eyes liberalism != neoliberalism. I consider myself liberal, and I despise neoliberal policies.

I don't think you're missing anything. Just maybe you're taking his tweet more serious or literal than he intended. To me, it's just an interesting perspective to consider tweets that are meant to influence your opinion as malware. Sure, somebody aware of the types of "bad input" in the form of misinformation campaigns, propaganda or advertisement might not be (as) susceptible to that - but considering the average Twitter user, comparing this type of content to malware seems appropriate to me.

So just state outright that your intention is to hand the election to Trump.

It features the flag of the German empire that nowadays is only used by Nazis and "sovereign citizens".

I don't need to be from the US in order to understand US politics / political system better than the average US citizen.

Lemmy seems to disagree with you about who lost that argument 🙂
