DerScheisser is a great meme sub if you just want to dunk on Wehraboos and Neonazis, but is still predominantly shitlib. It literally bans anyone who says anything positive about the USSR beyond "they killed Nazis". Really goes to show you that Liberals would go through the Weimar motions that put the Nazis in power in the first place again in a heartbeat so long as they stop the commies in the process.

EDIT: Late link.

Also, oh dear fucking god just end me.

    Liberals have learned nothing from history

    How much you wanna bet they refuse to criticize the Weimar Republic because it would mean liberal democracy is not flawless, which would shatter their worldview

      A lot of liberals subconsciously see learning history as redundant. They remain glued to the day's headlines, plodding through life as a stream of consciousness, as opposed to principled leftists who often spend even more time studying history than they do following the minutia of daily events.

      Who needs history when you've got abstract ideals which can be applied to any situation? It doesn't matter what the conditions are, you just gotta keep pushing that "liberty and justice for all" button. Authoritarianism bad, civil liberties good. Violence bad, rule of law good. Dual power bad, voting good. The context never matters. The historical origins and track record of these institutions never matters.

      Short of historical academics, Liberals probably don't even have a passing familiarity with that the Wiemar Republic was. The only reflection they have to offer is that they didn't push the civil liberties and rule of law buttons hard enough.
