If we want to drill down deeper and find a specific type of liberal I hate the most it's gotta be the "progressive" ones who hold no elected position, are democrats only in that they might be registered that way for primary voting, and should have absolutely no loyalty for the party or its current leader, and yet still polish that 100 year old's boots like there's a candy center they're trying to get to.
If you have representative or senator or governor, etc. in front of your name as a title, and a (D) after your name anywhere it's written, ok, I get it. I don't like it, but I get it. Everyone has a boss in the end, and if you're a democrat then Joe is your current boss. Doesn't pay off to talk too much truth on the boss, even if it's destroying your soul. If they gotta suck off his ego while shoving him out the backdoor to keep him quiet and cooperative, I see why they do it from a purely calculated logical standpoint.
But if you're a "neutral" observer, who isn't paid by democrats, doesn't work for Biden, doesn't ever plan to do either, and things along those lines, then you have no fucking reason on earth to shill for this mass murderer. There's no cold calculation for Rando Randoson on X DOT COM (no not the porn site) to be acting like Biden ended global suffering and defeated a Nazi threat... he is the continuation of global suffering. He is the head of the Nazi threat.
I just hate the (lack of a better word) cuckholdery that so many people, loyal to both parties, display publicly without shame. It's peasant brain shit. It's what prevents unionization efforts. It's what allows politicians to keep stripping rights, it's what allows them to do genocide without fear of how the rest of their life will go. Their party loyalty and belief in some liberal idea of the goodness of institutions for the sake of institution is incredible in the current times, and more by the day, as we see the institutions mean nothing. It's the same shit that lets some worker be against angry coworkers who try to start a union, they help stop the effort, and then when the boss continues to pay shit and give shit benefits they blame their coworkers or themselves... somehow never the guy stealing all the profits.
I dunno it always come back to this cucked mentality of individualism that your shit lot in life is somehow your fault but also you can't do anything about it (like destroying institutions or forcing better work conditions via a union). It's a secular, capitalistic sort of cast system. Or a fucking feudal system with no chance of mobility- but self imposed and self regulated.
The postmodernist types probably have better words, but whatever. I fucking hate it though, I know that.
If you go by reddit and Lemmy outside of here and Grad, you'd think there's literally 0 communists in America. I'm glad that most of the comrades in PSL seem to mostly focus on the real world instead of wasting their time online, everything is so hopeless out here with libs that are seemingly incapable of thinking past the Dems.
