That's why they hate us deep down. They can't reconcile the fact that they are not actually the most progressive and tolerant person in the room.

We actually support the LGBT community, we don't just say we do. We don't just wait until politicians finally get on this side of the fence and then cheer when they finally get on the right side of history.

Liberals are the kind of person to say their community is accepting of all genders, all nationalities, all minorities etc. but then not ban fascists who threaten that acceptance (and even lives) because everyone deserves free speech. It's like they walk half the way, then suddenly stop and stand there, claiming this is actually where the trail ends even though you and they can clearly see the trail keeps going beyond the horizon.

We have better politics in all ways.

  • We actually want things to get better
  • We actually don't want people to die, no matter if it's from homelessness, hunger, or Ukraine.
  • We actually want to hold our politicians accountable.
  • Shit, we actually want competent officials.
  • We actually want democracy, not whatever capitalism passes off as democracy (hey here's a riddle, you get to vote every 4 years and your boss can decide your schedule without consulting you! Is that democracy?)
  • We actually recognize fascism, even when it comes from liberals.
  • We actually fight against it too.
  • We are able to deeply analyze societal issues and not simply repeat from our high school history lessons.
  • We know our history and geopolitics. Liberals will repeat from NATO propaganda. We've actually read about it.

This is impossible to the liberal who thinks so highly of themselves that they must, by default, be the most accepting and progressive person in the world.

And so they resort to calling you a CCP shill instead of actually examining their privilege and positions.

Face it liberals, we are actually the person you think you are. Not the person you want to be, because you don't want to be anything other than what you are right now (because as a liberal you are, after all, perfect). But the person you and your fellow liberals spent years building up as being a pretty great guy.

And yes that includes whatever the fuck conservatives think they are.

    Liberals, through a combination of learned helplessness and unearned arrogance, and with the help of a whole lot of western media propaganda, see the presence of societal failures as better than some imaginary worse alternative. They see corrupt men in power as The Adults In The Room That Get Shit Done And Make The Hard Decisions just like in their Prestige TV treats. They see atrocities as not only necessary but good if they happen to people they don't like. The status quo looks fine from their water cooler chats and within their wine caves.

      See the way they gleefully talk about how much red states "deserve it" when something terrible happens and their governments fail to respond to environmental catastrophes, because they "voted for the wrong people".

        Right now, offline even, wine cave warrior liberals around me have openly talked about how Ukranian "deserters" that try to avoid conscription (CW: fascistic imagery and desire for punitive murder)

        deserve to be "put down like dogs" for not gladly jumping into the meat grinder against the Russians.
