but bernie personally ate fifty palestinian babies! Who cares about fif-teen bucks an aour? He's the same as the guy that's denying abortions that could save a woman from dying.

    I would encourage you to pick a couple topics and actually do this exercise. It's often pretty enlightening.

    That's ironic, considering the shit I've seen you post.

    Maybe you should take your own advice and try this exercise.

    Yes, and my point about right wing infighting and the majority of American "left" groups sacrificing whatever minority group is convenient for false promises still stands.

    That's part of what this exercise helps to highlight.

    The reason I use scare quotes for the "left" is exactly because people like them are refered to as "radical leftists" in the US and they're, arguably, self described liberal socialists.

    Liberalism, especially American liberalism/neoliberalism is a right wing ideology. Pulling in some basic socialist ideas doesn't change that.

    Yes, within this context AOC and Bernie are exactly what I'm referencing as the "American left".

    The usual response of idiots playing games of telephone. No actual evidence for what they believe, but their favorite online circlejerk said it so it must be true.

    RE: https://piefed.social/c/grimdank/p/2164181/the-nation-calls

    Your... your evidence is a joke about anarchists playing Warhammer?

    Are you stupid?

    @PugJesus one of the community operated by you had a comment something like: "russia and china are as bad as israel" and it had 13 upvotes with 1 downvote (I am sure it wasnt you).

    A very compelling anecdote utterly lacking in evidence or context. My favorite part is where I'm accused of equating all imperialism, but then downvoting a comment equating all imperialism. Almost like this braindead line of attack is putting forward contradictory positions because the people repeating it are too fucking stupid to recognize doublethink.

    also posts like this: https://mstdn.social/@PugJesus@piefed.social/116808165274019681

    That's the same as the first link.

    @PugJesus you didnt downvote that comment, It was me who did that, I am alt of @Cosmonaut you most probably upvoted it. You are quick to ban everyone from your tankiejerk sub who tries to bust your echochamber but you let dangerous precedent of minimizing european and western imperialism run throughYou also support liberal takeover of China, Vietnam, Cuba, etc. You are just a neoconI hope you get ok

    Oh, so you're an alt of the lunatic Uyghur genocide denier who was simping for North Korea as a worker's paradise only held down by Western sanctions.

    You are quick to ban everyone from your tankiejerk sub who tries to bust your echochamber but you let dangerous precedent of minimizing european and western imperialism run through

    Sorry that you're used to liberals tolerating you, and aren't sure how to handle leftists who don't, lmao.

    You also support liberal takeover of China, Vietnam, Cuba, etc. You are just a neocon

    lmao
