    Why hate on liberals rather than conservatives? It’s wasted energy. If “being right” is what bothers you, why are you focusing your energy on the middle? Focus on the right. Dumb.

      Look up what MLK had to say about white moderates.

        You did not respond to my point.

        If far right is your issue, why attack people to the left of the far right? You’re pointing at a general problem, then ignoring the worst perpetrators of it. Any energy you spend focusing on the liberals is energy you could have spent focusing on conservatives. That’s my point. Please respond to it.

      Liberals aren’t the middle, they’re the far right. The second you defend genocide, you no longer get to pretend you’re anything but a fascist. Plenty of Nazis felt bad about “the fact” Jews had to be systemically murdered. They weren’t not Nazis for thinking that way.

          Reread and try again, I did address your point.

          But let’s pretend Israel doesn’t exist and we’re talking about make believe liberals.

          Those individuals would be smarter than those further to the right of them, and they would care generally about being monsters, at least while we’re playing make believe. Those further to the right have no such issue, they accept that they’re monsters.

          Therefore enacting change would require liberals to move left, regardless of what the lost causes conservatives or the far right does.

          Or to put it in an even more oversimplified way, liberals and other right wing but not Nazi people get yelled at, Nazis get punched.

            You just said that liberals were far right.

            Liberals are to the left of conservatives.

            Your insults are pushing away the major party which was closer to your ideology, not further, you waste.

            Stop pretending to be morally superior to everyone. You are a selfish drone who parrots things they read on internet forums and claims to be educated and deliberately obstructs the growth of a movement then complains when more people aren’t involved with it.

            I get it. You feel superior to liberals. But that smug feeling does not solve the problem; cooperation does. And liberals are more likely to cooperate if you find a common enemy with them instead of pushing them away. Please be a better human.

              Liberals in the US are supporting genocide, they are not to the left of conservatives, who are also supporting genocide.

              For the rest of your generic 2012 era “let’s all support the moderate Republican with a d next to his name because he’s black” rhetoric, that’d be nice, we tried that, then they supported genocide and used US troops to aide in genocide.

              I don’t know what you think my ideology is, but genocide isn’t it. So no, liberals are not close to my ideology.

                Liberals … are not to the left of conservatives

                Your credibility is gone now. This has been fun. Thanks for the laughs!

                  For one that so begged for federation, you seem to hate interacting with others.

                  Hope you enjoy whatever it is you neolibs do in your spare time. I assume jerk off to footage from the genocide you support.

      Because it doesn’t matter what we say to those knuckle dragging morons.

      Liberals are smart enough to understand. They just refuse to on principle.

          So the far right makes all its decisions based on in-group psychology. You cannot make an argument to a right winger that will change their mind. You have to plant seeds of doubt, whole forests of them, and even then the bulldozer that is right wing media will spoil the seeds over and over again.

          It’s more useful to try and break the liberals out of the illusion that the right will come around and we can work with them.

          The best way to actually refute the right is to ignore them and prosper without them, they feed on aspersions and breath purity tests. They are concerned with power purely for the sake of power, and thus will not be talked into sharing it to improve conditions for anyone but capital T themselves.

          Also, what fucking right? I’m on Lemmy so I don’t have to read their drivel. Go find someone cajoling the left somewhere the right actually exists and make your argument there.

            You just said liberals were knuckle-dragging morons, but you want to break them out of their illusions, and (I interpret) win them over to our side.

            If you want them to join you, why insult them? Make a common enemy of the conservatives instead. Do you really think you’re going to win a battle against both major parties? Make better decisions.

            I’m not asking you to condone genocide, I’m asking you to use effective logic and reasoning. Insulting the 99% of Americans who identify as Liberal or Conservative will NOT win you any allies, and while it may feel good to be morally superior to everyone it doesn’t solve any real problems. “I don’t like either party” because they’re all “knuckle-dragging morons” is how we got Trump elected. Kamala isn’t perfect by a long shot but she’s a measurably better leader than Trump and YOUR obstructionism is the reason we got stuck with him. Be better.

              I think your contextual reading might need some work boss. Have another go at my first comment.

              It would make more sense if the group I referred to as ‘they’ and the group I referred to as liberals weren’t the same group, wouldn’t it?

                I’m not willing to volunteer anymore of my time and you can’t afford the professional rate.

                If people can’t understand you it’s not because you’re smarter than them, it’s because you have an inadequate control of the language. Instead of pointing me to different places, backpedaling and making vague blanket corrections You should just speak clearly, there are educational facilities that can help you with this if you haven’t been to one.

                I’m reclaiming my time to be productive with people that aren’t intellectually lazy. I won’t be reading your next response. Have a day.

                  Running away when confronted with the amazing revelation that the people I referred to as knuckle dragging morons aren’t the same people I referred to as smart enough.
