What the fuck does this have to do with liberals? None of the liberals I know support the palestinian genocide by israel.. it’s just a matter of knowing history, not whether you’re liberal or conservative.
I’ve seen fox news pushing the same line of bullshit as every other main american “news” channel, siding with the perpetrators of 70 years of genocide and war crimes.
Hamas’ attack was bad, but nothing compared to what the israelis have done for decades, and this is the prevailing sentiment in liberal spaces like reddit—by a wide margin. Liberal or conservative has nothing to do with it, if anything it would be the muslim-hating/fearing conservatives more likely to side with israel…
Just to be extremely clear here, we're not contrasting "liberal" and "conservative" as those two terms are defined in the american two-party electoral system. We're contrasting "liberal", that is, someone who supports capitalism, with "leftist", that is, someone who thinks capitalism is bad and should go away already. We're communists here, not republicans.
Thank you for clarifying, because I was confused as well.
Yeah, its a common point of confusion that I honestly do wish we were a bit better at communicating. But on the other hand, its not really our fault that the American political language messed up the definition of the word. Like, in Australia the "Liberal Party" IS the more conservative party, essentially the Republican equivalent.
love too have a liberal national coalition 😬
