Liberals are authoritarians, we all pretty much agree on that here but what's the best way to communicate this to a well meaning baby leftist?
Anything worth linking to or specific phrasings you like using? How do you go about justifying that liberals are the "real" authoritarians and not the communists?
...they don't? I know plenty of white and asian libs who support affirmative action. Democrats as a whole support AA much more than Republicans, so it's hard to belive even a majority of white libs oppose it, much less hate it the same as fascists do (i.e., on Bell Curve racist grounds).
This isn't dehumanizing language, either. You honestly see no difference between "I don't like smelling piss/seeing someone piss when I walk down the street" and "we should sweep these zombies from the streets and put them on an island somewhere" (actual Republican proposal!)?
Those are just polls. I'm talking about real life where a blue state like California has dismantled affirmative action. Californians voted to pass Proposition 209 which dismantled affirmative action and voted against Proposition 16, which would've repealed Proposition 209. It wasn't spearheaded by some hidden cabal of Californian fascists, especially not Proposition 16, which happened in 2020 when most fascists had long since fled from "Commiefornia."
There's a difference between dehumanizing language and genocidal language. Cool, I give liberals the bare minimum of not articulating their genocidal thoughts of the homeless out loud like fascists even if they agree with them in private.
In 1996, when the state had a Republican governor. It's absurd to attribute that to liberals, just as it's absurd to say California is nothing but liberals today. Reactionary referendums are frequently spearheaded by fascists, too.
