Holy fuck this is spot on.
I'm so tired of hearing "they're so racist"
It's such a terminating clause. Like we don't need to actually understand at a deeper level why guy born a Mexican, still is Mexican but is voting for Trump because.... They're racist against Mexicans????
I'm so done with the left. It's so tiring. They even adapt their messages. I can go back 15 years and still see the exact comments of "they're racist" while right wing dominate spaces seem to come up with new things every 6 months. Soy cuck Wojack probably conjures up a whole era all our minds right? What about "man they're racist" what does that conjure up?
The left should lose the right to call anyone low information voters until they sort themselves the fuck out
I think you're confused, liberals aren't left. The commenter you are replying to is complaining about liberals, ie "moderate" right wingers, failing to understand far-right wingers.
Liberals are left
big no. neoliberalism is a capitalist ideology. right wing.
Only if you are eurocentric and accept liberalism as a default state. I would argue eurocentric perspectives are inherently problematic.
dude is openly liberal, regardless of what the default is in their part of the world (and its usually neoliberalism anyway)
Neoliberalism is absolutely not the default when we look at the whole world. If we look at the developed world it is the default. That is not the case for everyone.
Your binary only makes sense for some of the world. That’s why I keep pointing to how eurocentric it us.
i'm assuming most people here are usian.
which usually means liberal, yeah.
Did you mean default for lemmy or default for the system utilized by most nations? I took you as meaning the latter
both. its how most people understand the world, for better or worse (mostly worse)
