And then they will complain about being called liberals.
Damn, depicting yourself as the chad and your opponents as the soyjack is so much older than the internet.
There's probably like, some ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs where Ramses depicts himself as the chad Pharaoh and like...the Nubians or whoever as virgins and soyjacks.
Nearly every single one in fact, one of the staple techniques was to depict important people as bigger, nonimportant as smaller and enemies a wretched and cowering. For example, famous stela of Narmer, the very first pharaoh living over 5000 years ago:

I don’t think they’d object that hard if you explain what we mean by liberals
A lot of fascists call themselves “classical liberals” nowadays when the F word isn’t as acceptable.
I've found it way more entertaining to call them conservatives. After they get pissy about that I call them liberal.
They’re definitely a mixed bag of takes — some are based, and some are unhinged
No idea about american libertarians (though considering the meaning of the word "liberal" in USA ther they will probably protest) but if you call polish libertarian "liberal" they will either get mad for comparing them to those "socialists" from PO or you will hear a long word salad about true libertarianism etc.
Yeah, but explaining it is easy — just say you meant classical liberalism which is what libertarianism literally is
Polish libertarianism overlaps with monarchism and nazism much and for most of them libertarianism is just "something i like" while "everything i don't like" is socialism.
I think they were intending to mean if the US was somehow actually attacked like the War of 1812 again, but maybe that’s giving too much credit
There was this on then-Twitter not too long ago: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1136338
I saw that, was fucking unhinged 💀💀I meant the same party from different states being in beef w each other through comments
"peace and diplomacy" AND "national defense"? they do know that maintaining and "defending" american hegemony requires constant violence right?
I wonder if they’re trying to be “isolationist” as if that was a real foreign policy the US had
Can we get a "number of false dichotomies in political spectrum infographics" record going?
