Ah yes Tucker Carlson, famous liberal

I assumed the meme referred to all the interviews being done at CPAC right now.

Taylor Lorenz did a very big disservice to herself by interviewing the LibsOfTikTok lady.

I'm in favor. Expose the rot. Too much of the US citizenry doesn't understand the threat these people pose. It takes them actually showing their stripes to understand what's at stake.

To underscore this, NBC did an article about the presence of self-identified Nazis and similar worst of the worst undesirables at CPAC. CPAC disputed that they were there by invitation, but it's hard to not see it as a plus that NBC is holding their feet to the fire.

There was no inter, only a view.

Ideologically speaking, in the broad senses of "socialism, liberalism, and fascism," yes, Tucker pretends to be a liberal. That is what American conservativism should be conserving, as that's what the American Experiment is, liberalism.

Ah yes Tucker Carlson the only person to ever interview a fascist, ever.

Now excuse me while I go watch Trumps incoherent nonsense shared on every station.

I was just imagining him holding Putin over a fire, while Reddit looks on and shouts, "cast him into the flames!"

I don't understand the memes connection between liberals and fascism.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Maybe like in Sweden, where the liberals went from calling themselves proud of being called the enemies of fascism, saying they will hide refugees if made illegal, to just straight up calling it "liberal politics actually", and are now collaborating with them to form a government. Crazy how that happens every time.

Yelling at other lefties for not being left enough is a long and proud tradition.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (13 children)

The difference between liberals and the left is the stance on capitalism. Liberals believe they can make capitalism work, leftists insist we must move beyond it. The people obfuscating liberal and leftist are the people who want the discussion of moving past capitalism to stop. Don't help them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I disagree. There are plenty of examples of liberal anti-capitalists such as David Ellerman

As a left handed person I don't know why people hate us so much, what is wrong for using left hand as main?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

Take your goofy scissors and get the fuck out!

[–] themelm 4 points 9 months ago

You mean the Sinister hand? Highly suspicious. Why not use the Dexterous hand? Surely that would work better for manual tasks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Difference in thought is dangerous to the established power structures. It starts with thinking that you can use a different hand to wipe your ass and evolves into thinking maybe the rulers shouldn't be ruling.

...not wrong. Except remember that an idea cannot be genuinely destroyed, since it's not an actual physical thing. Even if you did somehow manage to destroy it in the present day, nothing prevents people from creatively coming up with it again.

Netanyahu wants to learn this the hard way.

Find another way that doesn't involve death, destruction and ill-fated attempts at control.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

A platitude. The fascists are already trying to kill us, we need to fight back. Both sides are not the same.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Not a platitude, a harsh and brutal reality. Though I do agree that it is time to fight fascism. Just don't think you can actually destroy it by fighting like this is all some fictional story with a happily-ever-after. Real life doesn't work that way, only fiction.

Real life needs more difficult and complicated fixes.

Netanyahu knows. It's how that corrupt bastard stays in power and out of prison.
