    The liberal to fascist delay has reached the projection watermark, with the comfy fed-loving liberal loosely appropriating the lingo of some struggle against oppressive power while wielding that power against actual threatened groups for whom :vote:ing will continue to solve nothing, under the justification that it is actually they who are the larping wreckers.

    Someone posted that quote the other day about how the unborn are the easiest to advocate for because they make no demands of you, and its just clicked for me that liberals treat social movements the same way the far right treats fetuses. To them the perfect movement is the hypothetical one, but once you begin to actually exist in this world and act according to it's circumstances then you are a sinner.

      Well said. 💯

        That reminds me also of Chuck Schumer's hypothetical idealized nuclear family that he supposedly bases all of his political choices on. Can't base policies on real life or real people, it's just too messy.
