Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I'm not going to debate you on this. It's a waste of my time and I have better shit to do. Have a good day.
Edit: you're also grossly mischaracterizing me when you assume I think liberals and fascists are exactly the same. I'm simply not going to engage with you further on this.
Alright, I was going to take that as a disengage and move on before the edit, but as I understand the disengage rule, you saying something about me negates it because it becomes an attempt to get in the last word.
You said
How else was I meant to take that other than you think liberals and fascists are the same? You literally said so there lol. What else could "And that's what liberals are" mean?
Fine, I'll keep this going to explain this clearly to you.
Liberals enable fascists to enact their policies. Fascists will put policies in place, and when liberals are in power, they do nothing to reverse the damage that fascists have done. In fact in many ways, they make it worse because they normalize it. We still have concentration camps on the border, liberals just pretend they don't exist anymore.
Then there's the continued support for genocide and war. Anyone who opposes their policies are called a Russian or Chinese asset, furthering hatred for foreigners, spurring on hate crimes and shifting the political spectrum further to the right. Then there's the so called "progressives" who pretend to reform the party while at the same time continuing to work with the liberals who continue to rot the government from the inside.
There's a reason we say "prick a liberal and a fascist bleeds." They are one bad day away from throwing minorities under the bus. And if they don't throw those minorities under the bus themselves, they'll stand on the sidelines virtue signaling about how "we need to help that person, they're about to get ran over!" But will take no action themselves in order to get the person out of the way, or stop the bus entirely.
Sure. It sucks when fascists get their way. But if they shoot the person who's about to stab me in the back, that's still one less enemy for me to worry about. And maybe it'll set an example for other liberals by showing them what they get for playing stupid games and flirting with fascists.
Well, ok, I agree with everything you said except the last part. I think you're ignoring the incredibly essential "empowerment" part of what I'm saying. I'm not just mad that they got a win becuase they're my enemy or whatever. I'm mad that they got a win because that increases their power and will to do more violence, and that increased will to do more violence can eventually come for me and the people I care about. I completely disagree that if a fash kills a liberal its good because the liberal is bad, and I guess we're just going to have to leave it there.
Agreed, have a good night comrade.
