These things exist in degrees.
Fuck Donald J Trump. I hope the rat bastard dies shitting himself inside out.
Try talking like that about Xi on Chinese social media.
That was supposed to be criticism?
Liberals believe hating something is critique. That's why they claim Lemmy.ml bans people for "criticizing" socialist countries, when in reality their "critique" is just saying "fuck xyz."
Mostly their critique, as you said, is just plain insulting. Often it is not to an ideology or a system, but a person or people. Like the person above just insulted not the US, not capitalism, not western imperialism, but Trump, a single person. What is even the point?
It's the type of unseriousness that results from not engaging with real political activism, and not engaging with socialist theory.
