    I did twice, let’s discuss it. Can you pick a paragraph that particularly upsets you and explain why it’s wrong ?

    In fact, liberals do not even substantially disagree with the core of Trump’s policies. After all, both right-wing and liberal elites are loyal servants of empire, the latter just give it a veneer of humanitarianism.

    This is low hanging fruit, you did not even try. I can imagine many arguments you could make how liberals fundamentally disagree with some policies.

    But you would be hard pressed to refute the follow up paragraph

    Both support policies that sustain the oppression of poor and marginalised people: the corporatisation of healthcare and education, labour exploitation, mass incarceration, militarised policing, censorship, corruption through corporate donations, and extractivism and militarism abroad. The liberals have put their spin on all these with talk about human rights, rule of law, and diversity.

    And I think you literally have no valid counterpoints, for this op ed piece, as a whole. Or else you would have shattered me with your logic.

    I accept your concession.

    I think one needs to define liberal here; as noted elsewhere what is one persons liberal is not seen as liberal by others. Especially when reading an essay in a non American paper.

    Yes, conservatives are a subset of liberals. What we think of as "liberals" in the US is really a narrow category of the DNC's policy positions, but both the GOP and DNC are liberal parties supporting capitalism and demonizing socialism.

    Liberal in the non-US world is center-right at best. Full right at worst. The Dems outside the US are seen as center-right in some points and right in others.

    My insight into the article is it's 100% accurate, you've had it explained to you in detail by several other users already here and you know it and you're playing dumb because you don't have an argument to make, the name calling is entirely warranted, cry about it

    Weird way to admit you're illiterate if I'm being real. There's no way you come away with this opinion as it being insubstantial unless you 1) didn't read it or 2) did read it but was unable or unwilling to comprehend it.

    This place is very compassionate for people with US reading comprehension. There's no shame in admitting "I don't understand," but there is in, "therefore it's wrong."

    Compassion is not a word I would use for most interactions here. :D People are very stuck in their own interpretations of certain words, and not a single person has been able to point out what they think is good or accurate about the article. "Lol you cannot read retard" is the most common answer.

    I got that many people have a different understand of the word "liberal". The article also seems to group a bunch of people under that umbrella and that makes little sense to me.

    It's not really that I don't understand, I just disagree with the generalization that "all liberals bad". I do get that that does not fit thr general narrative in this social circle. But I tend to think that this kind of bashing articles are not really useful, and discussing with people who have different opinions is good to broaden one's understanding of the world.

    You came in arrogant and self assured. Insults are regrettable, and the interaction could have been better handled, and you might have bothered respectfully asking for resources, bothering to read and taking time to digest, and asking for clarity or rebuttals to your presumptions. Instead, when informed you are incorrect, you doubled, tripled and quadrupled down.

    Having the last word isn't worth much when everything you say is embarassingly stupid
