    Been here since almost the beginning, and never seen fascists referred to as "liberal".

    I've heard plenty of "neoliberal is just another shade of fascism", but never outright "liberal", which has always been applied to libs, or those on the cusp of good intentions who don't quite get it.

    Are we no longer distinguishing between evangelical, science-denying, white nationalist fascists and your run-of-the-mill libs? Is that how far off the reservation people are here?

      What do you mean by that? Of course people distinguish between that, but when proto-fascists who still pay lip service to liberal norms are allowed to publish their opinions inside of liberal publications, then there is no point of making a distinction between those two groups on that particular issue as it is within the allowable discourse for liberals. I'm guessing that poster just didn't know whose opinion they were reading.

        You and I both fuckin know if that screenshot was posted, or something Prager, or something Tom Cotton to /ShitLiberalsSay it would have been downvoted to hell for not being "liberal". You're gaslighting.

          Is SLS the benchmark for the proper usage of liberal?

          Okay, here's a post about the same columnist that you were complaining about:

            Benchmark for how "liberal" is understood.

            And that post similarly has the author cut off, so people voting are (like here) getting the impression that OP is saying more.

            Anyway, I'm kinda over it now. I guess i'll look out for more ...liberal use of the term lol

        OP cut off the author's name from the screenshot and labeled it "Fuckin liberals" implying it's a liberal take. It feels deliberately dishonest.
