    I have seen countless dozens of libs excitedly posting about calling ICE or smugly watching Gaza now that Trump will continue the same genocidal policy line, liberals can't wait to gleefully partake in racism as long as they think they can get away with it.

      just look how they act towards Russians the moment they have any excuse to be racist, immediately start calling them orcs and vatniks without hesitation. They already wanted to call them that and were chomping at the bit to, and then they were given permission

        it's a second-hand anecdote but I heard a story about a russian-american getting pushed off a ski lift chair in 2022 when they told the person they were riding with where they were from

        TBH, I like "vatnik". Call me out for wearing poor people's clothing, it only makes me more left-wing!

      Lately I keep thinking back to that Roderick Day article about fascism where he develops a direct relationship between fascism and liberalism.

    Liberals absolutely did this and not just to Muslims. Over the past year I can't count how many times I got accused of wanting a gay, trans, Latin, etc genocide here in America because I didn't want a genocide in Palestine.

    I was outright told my choices were an American minority genocide plus Palestinian genocide, or just the one in Palestine. What they never even suggested is that is that if these are our only options, there should be riots, not voting. Instead they browbeat leftists by saying Trump will be a Double Zionist or something.

    This is the same feeling I get back when liberals were rabidly in favor of the Iraq War, then after Bush got re-elected suddenly they all flipped to opposing it. They wanted Bush to win, or at least someone kinda like Bush (Kerry), so they could still peddle their controlled opposition garbage.

      My answer to that has repeatedly been that I am not a nationalist nor a supremacist.

      They are making you decide that american lives have a higher value than any of the other working class lives in this world. They are asking you to be an american national supremacist by making you choose.

    Pretty much, anyone with sense can tell. Honestly just another reason I hate (these kinds of- establishment) libs even more than "honest" fascists nowadays, at least the latter actually believes on some level in the garbage they spew, for libs it's just plain malice/"""disciplining""" their slaves.

      Fascists have the fundamental kernel of truth of identifying real problems sometimes. Like "the store is out of toilet paper and I'm running out of bibles", the problem with them is their solutions are all "exterminate the brutes". Which is bad and I dont want to deal with even when I'm not one of the brutes. Also it doesn't solve basically any problem, and now you've got partisans and lots if digging to do.

      Libs are less violent; they're kind of all chicken shit and dont actually go after victims without institutional power, but they can not see problems, and trying to make them do so registers as violence because it kills the vibes.

      Both are equally large problems, but its the difference between a man with a gun and doing lines of asbestos. Preferring the man with the gun is perfectly valid; both will kill you, both could make it very ugly.

      Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world.
