They do say Political violence has no place in America. They don't give a shit outside.

Tho, the kind of spewed hatred Kirk got shot for basically counts as verbal violence. So I guess that's why he got no place in America.

Liberalism is pro-capitalism, so "liberals" and "conservatives" are both just different flavors of the same liberalism in the US.

That's... literally the opposite of reality.

*Edit: peoples' definitions of what a liberal is are not all the same. To me, the DNC are not liberal, they are capitalist centrists.

Notice which instance you are on and then remember that liberals are not leftists.

Is this true? I find conflicting answers to this question and I genuinely don’t have a fuckin clue. I see republicans talking about liberals like they are left, but then I see this repeated statement and I always look it up but never seem to get anywhere.

To a fascist, everything left of fascism is “radical left.” It’s mostly ignorance. You don’t become a rightist by being smart or nuanced.

Liberalism sounds leftist at first because the word suggests permissiveness. In reality, liberalism allows for the consolidation of wealth and power in ways that naturally result in society moving rightward. Neoliberals take it a step further by being more active in their theft of wealth and power rather than passive. Liberals are often described as “center-left” but they are essentially a kind of right-leaning centrist. You might also hear the term “enlightened centrist” used pejoratively for liberals who haughtily want to pretend to be “above” the left-right spectrum.

Leftism is ultimately about egalitarianism, particularly of wealth and power. This requires certain controls to prevent consolidation which results in rightist structures like feudalism, dictatorships, oligarchies, and the like. Liberals are against such controls, and so are enablers of rightism.

This is the leftist viewpoint, at least.

The GOP and DNC are both liberal parties, but the GOP is more right-wing, thus they call the DNC "liberals" in a negative manner while upholding themselves as "conservatives." Liberalism is pro-capitalism, though, and cannot be seen as left.

Considering how many libs have been constantly going on about how awful this was and that we shouldn't partake in political violence while doing nothing to denounce Israel's MANY crimes against humanity, I'm inclined to disagree.

The only people I've seen calling for less political violence have also denounced the violence in Palestine. Some people are just anti-violence, there's no hypocrisy in that.

At least you know that been a liberal is so bad that can be interpreted as disrespectful
