This submission is exactly the divisive shit fascists love to see. Congratulations.

Fascists love people who bitch about boomers - they ignore all the young people coming up conservative and all the old progressives.

Fascists love people who bitch about various kinda of left-wing or pseudo-left-wing groups and ADORE threads where people argue over what those terms even mean. It all distracts from uniting against fascism.

Fascists love the "both sides' bullshit - especially because it contains enough grains of truth that it is very compelling (like a lof ot their propaganda, they sometimes raise some good points that get lost in the fascism) - because ti causes people not to vote. Mostly progressives.

Fascists love this thread.

I fucking don't.

    I have as well, then I realized it was another damn insidious wedge issue thing. lol

    But it is easy to bitch about them because there are an awful lot of asshats that are older. Just....... a lot of younger asshats, too. lol

    You know what causes progressives to not vote? Telling them to fuck off and supporting a genocide.

    There is no equivalent for liberals; liberals aren't going to not vote because ICE isn't hauling off enough of their neighbors or they don't have to fill out enough forms and pay enough money to prove they deserve healthcare or that trans people don't need to jump through enough hoops to get their medications.

    This just reads like crybaby astroturf bullshit. Those issues are important to liberals too. Liberal by definition means you are PRO LIBERTY. Name one thing in that list that doesn't align with being pro liberty. Go on I'll wait

    Here's a book going through all the major liberal philosophers and how they handled the contradictions of liberalism: https://infoport.co/wp-content/uploads/Domenico-Losurdo-Gregory-Elliott-Liberalism_-A-Counter-History-Verso-2011.pdf

    In practice, when they come into conflict, the freedom for bourgeoisie to exploit the working class outweighs all others. This takes different meanings in different contexts. There's a few parts that might take a few rereads to get what they're actually saying, such as English colonists arguing that the crown is treating them like slaves, by restricting their freedom to tyrannize the Indians and slaves, without a hint of irony.

    You know what happens when a progressive doesn't vote in the general election? Fascism wins.

    The time to act is BEFORE the general, BEFORE the primary.
