Mandatory reading or you are a :LIB:
I have never read a more succinct critique of the liberal. Someone else posted an excerpt in another thread and I looked it up. Folks, it is good, and a quick read.
Now, I think the biggest problem with the white liberal in America, and perhaps the liberal around the world, is that his primary task is to stop confrontation, stop conflicts, not to redress grievances, but to stop confrontation. And this is very clear, it must become very, very clear in all our minds. Because once we see what the primary task of the liberal is, then we can see the necessity of not wasting time with him. His primary role is to stop confrontation. Because the liberal assumes a priori that a confrontation is not going to solve the problem. This, of course, is an incorrect assumption. We know that.

Thank you for clarifying, we love our trans comrades
