   So uhh, just for clarity, nobody ever offered me $100,000 dollars to write anything about politics or American society; Big Poor and Big Antifascism are really asleep at the wheel here...

     If you want to know why I get irritated with your edgelord comments about why "in a way, liberals are worse than fascists" it's because I lived that ideology being spread in our community, and I know who it serves and for what purpose it's stated that way.

     The fact is almost everyone reading this USED to be a liberal before they got wise. Almost nobody reading this used to be a fascist. Liberalism is bad, but if you hate them more than nazis, you will always be recruitable for the fash. I'm not

     Jokes aside; a bunch of these nazi muppets online did try to recruit me a couple times back in 2015 and 2016 based on the theory that "we both hate liberals and it's really uncomfortable that you keep pointing out our ops to recruit cracker leftists with bad praxis in real time" but I rightfully told them to slurp shit and die; and they sure as shit weren't offering that kinda money - but I woulda turned it down regardless. Cause fuck nazis.

     (I want to be clear that "liberals" in the above statement absolutely refers to everyday people who call themselves liberals, vote for "liberal" parties, and insist that for "reasons" we cannot have nice things. I've written more than enough times about rich people and the politicians they own for you to know that I think they're selling us out to fascists, and many of them are fascist themselves. I'm literally talking about your auntie who votes straight Dem because she's afraid here.)

     Exactamundo.

     The real problem with liberalism is NOT that it is worse than fascism or conservatism, but that it fundamentally fails as a counter to conservatism and fascism because it either doesn't go far enough to oppose the Right's aftereffects or its adherents simply sell/cash out for the money and privilege.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites hey - thanks and that’s a good clarification. I get Americans shout at me - a Brit - when I describe my views as liberal and anti-capitalist. For us liberal can mean: pro-abortion, pro-immigration, pro-human rights for all, pro-free health care, pro-green, pro-union, anti-austerity, pro-degrowth. But I know that doesn’t translate, so good to be clear what you mean by the term - thank you. And yeah - I know that Auntie

     My rage is always at the liberal establishment in power.

     I have nothing but love for the average liberal voters who think they're doing all they can to help.
