One time I was called right extremist and left extremist by the same person on the same day I guess that I am the entirety of politics now

Sometimes it's not worth the fight.

I feel like most self described liberals would be leftists if they actually looked into it anyway

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

That's my experience, generally. The ones I can get to read a bit of theory tend to be more sympathetic towards Socialism.

I'm not sure I'm politically knowledgeable to know what a liberal is

(This is a joke, and I don't need anyone to explain it to me. The thing I struggle with is discerning whether the people I'm talking to at any given point know what a liberal is)

When someone calls me a fascist but isn't politically knowledgeable enough to know I'm a centrist 🧘

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

To be clear, fascism and anticommunism are intimately linked, and you are an anticommunist (unless you've changed stance). I maintain that Blackshirts and Reds should be necessary reading.

Are you calling me a fascist?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 15 minutes ago

No. I am saying I can understand why someone would call you one if you were being anticommunist, however, given their historical link.
