Hey, did you know that Republicans are, in fact, liberals? When we dunk on liberals, we don't mean "people with progressive social views," we have more progressive social views than the overwhelming majority of so-called Liberals. We are primarily referring to economic liberalism, the ideology which upholds and advances capitalism. Occasionally, we are expressing frustration with neoliberals, the current ruling ideology which has subsumed politics in the west and encompasses both the Democrats and Republicans.
Not like “people with progressive social views” dont harbor horrendous views because they havent completely shaken out things like racism, classism, or homophobia because getting that far means they’ll leave the warmth and comfort of their baby ideology they’ve known for so long and finally notice the bodies their comforts were built on top of

Indeed. I've edited slightly to clarify further on this.
Isnt it funny how people are surprised by that? They think only 2-3 things about society and power have to change, then everything is perfect.
