MODERATORS
Anyone defending genocide isnt a leftist, not a liberal, a "tankie" or anything else.
They're a fascist who doesn't want to be called a fascist.
It's not like people are running around using NK as a straw puppet for why democracy is bad, we all agree they're just lying about their governmental system.
Eh, although I agree in principle, facism isn't a catch-all term for all authoritarian ideologies. Fascism is essentially corporatist ("corporation" in the poli sci sense, not "ruled by private corporations") authoritarian capitalism with a big focus on private enterprise, completely against eg. welfare systems or anything like that (because weak people doesn't deserve to be supported, and if anything need to be killed), highly misogynistic, etc. etc. For example the NSDAP privatized a lot of previously public enterprises, which doesn't seem to be something a lot of people realize.
While tankies are authoritarian, they're still communists or socialists or whatever.
So you're saying a "moderate liberal" who supports genocide is more of a fascist than a "tankie"? Or would you call them a "tankie" for saying theyre on the left but openly supporting genocide, siccing police on peaceful protestors, and immediately cutting off any voter/media/politicians who disagree with them?
Sxomeone that openly refuses to step aside unless "lord God" tells them? Someone that insists they're the only one that can save the country, and if they don't personally win the country is over.
Would you call them "tankie" or fascist?
No liberal supports genocide. It’s been explained to you time and again. The problem with debating you is that everyone has to wade through the bullshit world you created just to get back to the reality where the actual things happen.
NO LIBERAL SUPPORTS GENOCIDE.
Stop making up bullshit and stating it as a fact. It does nothing but dilute the point of any discussion you’re in.
We support Biden over Trump because we feel curable cancer is a better option than an incurable one. And unlike you, we also understand how nuance works within the context of political events. We don’t just make shit up so that we can win arguments.
Maybe try it? Or are you that afraid to give up the commonality you share with MAGA?
