im british and i give them the g-word pass (gammon) to refer to british people in a derogatory way

they're not using liberal in the american sense of liberal meaning gay blue haired woman with pronouns and vegan lattes that conservatives get mad at (in general theres a lot of queer vegan women with pronouns and colourful hair on hexbear); they're defining liberal in the marxist sense in that its people who support capitalism but arent currently fascists, so this includes conservatives, neoliberals, social democrats, and all sorts in it. Their comment seems to be applying more specifically to the ideologically committed liberals as opposed to mostly apolitical people who just say, "oh yeah i guess i;ll vote democrat this time" once every 4 years and have that be the extent of their politcal consciousness

they replied confirming to me that what they were complaining about was in fact racism against white people, given that it seems to be a pretty common bit on lemmygrad to call people crackers and compare them to that kid who went onto fox news to complain about his face being photoshopped onto a picture of a ritz cracker by left wing students at his university that seems to be what they were complaining about

edit: i found a picture of the guy

are you really arguing that russia killing ukrainians should give israel a pass to start indiscriminately murdering civilians at an even faster rate?

for extra context, someone told me that its a screenshot of the old r/stormfront sub from back when reddit just didn't give a single shit that the website was possibly the largest combined nazi / pedo bar on the internet at the time because they just didnt crack down on that stuff at all

she also cited and linked to all the original sources which the worldaffairs site used, packed full of famous CCP-shill state-owned-media sources like: the BBC, Reuters, the Washington Post, CBS, the Wall Street Journal, etcetera

i wonder why western redditors found a depiction of an asian president as a fat yellow bear and a black president as a character called Tigger so funny 🤔 definitely no racism here, no sir

basically just capitalist realism in action, all art critical of capitalism ends up being subsumed, made meaningless and even ends up contributing to capitalism
