Theres nothing more to say to it, its just funny to me.
I like how in any leftist space you can show up and start calling people you don't even know "comrade" and it's chill and normal. It's home-y.
That's comfy. I immediately feel accepted when somebody calls me comerade.
Hot take: the overuse of liberal as an insult is great because it helps kill the liberal inside our heads.

Deriding liberals in liberal spaces has confused a lot of liberals about my ideology, which is almost funny. They can't imagine anyone hating liberals who isn't a chud. Same phenomenon, opposite energy of when you're dunking on liberals and a chud chimes in thinking you're on their side
Like "neoliberalism", capitalists have normalized and naturalized the counter-revolutionary project so that regular people have no idea what the dominant orthodoxy they live under is called.
Ask the people you know what a "liberal" is and they'll be confused, maybe mention John Locke or whoever they learned about in middle school,, but without any material understanding that those people were capitalists who supported child slave labor.
the two parties in the US are based on federalist minutiae that no one has cared about since the 18th century.
Honestly whether or not my contempt for liberals is real depends on the lib. Like I'd never be a dick to a friend who's a lib or any potential comrade, but I definitely love to bully the dumbass centrist libs. They love to think that they're above everyone else so putting them in their place is so funny.

This. My boyfriend was a liberal, but had an open ear, and now im quite far with the radicalization. Its all about being nuanced.
Nah, a lot of them have their hearts in the right places. Some of them are just too comfortable for their own good, but feel guilty that their live is better on the back of others. Even chuds have some empathy and goodness, though directed only to their own. If we look at someone being truly evil, that would be psychopathic politicians in my book.
