Liberalism is by definition right-wing you oaf. It is an ideology that believes in the right to private property and is fundamentally capitalist, thus it is right-wing. If you’re going to speak on a subject then make sure you have basic understanding of it.
God what I wouldn’t give to have half the ego you oafs have. To just be able to confidently say some absolute bullshit on a subject I only have a vague understanding of, all of my knowledge picked up through cultural osmosis, yet I still feel as though the person I’m talking to definitely hasn’t heard the cliché I’m about to spit out, even though we both exist in the same world of neoliberal propaganda. Absolutely incredible.
Democrats are fascists. They are in favour of: Concentration camps, slavery, mass surveillance, a police state, the MIC, genocide, imperialism, persecution of queer people, persecution of POC, persecution of marginalised groups, group punishment, election suppression, voter suppression, and everything else that the Republican party and fascists in general love. They are massively nationalist and religious zealots. They harp on about patriotism, the bible, how great the US is, how evil foreigners like the chinese and russians are coming to take it all away.
It does not matter that they are less crude, this is what they support politically.
Being liberal, by definition, is not opposite fascism. That is in no way the definition of the political ideology known as liberalism. If you are going to speak on politics then educate yourself. Liberalism is an ideology that values free markets and the right to private property, that’s it. That’s the base of liberalism, that’s all it is about.
Due to liberalism valuing private property and the right to fuck over other countries with imperialist wealth extraction - sorry, “free markets”, this leads to the interests of the liberal bourgeoise converging with the interests of fascists - Destroying left-wing movements. Liberals have historically supported fascist movements both abroad as a means of destabilising other countries in order to easier extract wealth from said countries markets and at home as a means of ensuring the pillaged wealth does not get taken away from them by filthy unions or other nasty leftist idiosyncracies.
Your idea of fascism is one that is limited to “do they think gay people are allowed to breathe and do they put burning crosses in their yards? If they do, then they’re fascists. So since liberals don’t care about gay people as long as they can take their shit and extract surplus value from them, then they can’t be fascist!” This is a childish, naive and completely incorrect understanding of fascism and liberalism. The nazi SA were led by a gay man, does this mean the SA aren’t fascist?
Liberalism will often find itself nominally in support of personal liberties such as the right to abortion or the right to own slaves or the right to be gay or the right to molest children or the right to increase rents on the hot single mom until she agrees to sleep with you. Liberalism will abandon any such support as soon as any group becomes a threat to their property or wealth. This is because political ideologies do not appear cleanly in the real world, they are shaped by the circumstances in which they exist, and so you will find all sorts of things that might confuse a half-wit like you. Socialists that don’t support queer rights for example - or “socialists” if we’re being pedantic, since socialists seek to work towards communism and so any persecution of minorities is inherently at odds with the core of the socialist project, but that’s for another time.
I guess what they mean is that liberals and fascist share a same imperialist ideal, even if they disagree on how to reach it. A bit as anarchism and communism share the same aim but with different means.
If you are favorable to the aim, the means may also matter to you. But if you are strongly opposed to the aim itself, you could get irritated if you were asked to choose the lesser evil way to reach it.

Yes, we know you’re a paranoid McCarthyist who sees all dissent as part of an evil conspiracy.
Fascism shill? I didnt see them advocate voting for democrats anywhere.

Being pro maga is when you accurately point out a promise of treats for Amerikans doesn’t outweigh genocide and imperialism.
Never beating the not seeing people outside of the west as human allegations.

You called yourself a “liberal” a couple of posts ago, so their characterisation of you is accurate.

We can figure it out pretty easily

And straight to dehumanising. Really leaning into not seeing non westerners as humans.
Looking forward to seeing you and your ilk getting what’s coming to you as your empire declines.

If only that were true. If it was you wouldn’t be a liberal.
Also really tripling down in being a racist piece of shit. Genuinely wishing you the worst.

Your syntax is also incorrect, does this mean we get to disregard everything you say?
Genuine question: What part about accurately pointing out that the democrats are fascist makes me a republican?

Lol. It’s peak reddit shithead pseudo intellectual to think just putting “by definition” randomly in a statement makes it true
