The one true leftist has spoken.
I see them pop up every once in while using some sort of personal definition of liberal, and claiming everyone else in the world but them is brainwashed.
When they get push back, they get extremely slippery

I think, they think it means a belief in liberation, or something like that?
They are very firm that libs are not what the rest of the world says they are, but they are a little vague on what they think it means
I don't think there is a way to read it that makes sense. They've just decided liberal means something different than everyone else in the world says it means
Ngl this looks to me like a non-native english speaker mixing up Liberal with the version of Libertarian that's used a lot outside of the US (particularly in Europe) to describe more anarchist-leaning politics. It'd explain the claim that "Liberals are Capitalist" is a yank-centric position, and from a quick glance at their post history it seems that they might be from Finland.
this boredtortoise weirdo has never once engaged in good faith, they're just an irrational time waster
Nah, i don't argue. You're the bad faith actor for replying to me on a public forum.
they're also obviously extremely American because being a liberal anywhere outside of the US is reserved exclusively for right wing parties
That's the strangest part, i don't think they are American
canada has a party called the Liberals who people for some reason think are leftist.
Canadians are literally just Americans with a ton of really good weed and shitty public healthcare
"Mum, can we have a @LiberalSocialist@hexbear.net?"
"No, we already have @LiberalSocialist@hexbear.net at home"
The @LiberalSocialist@hexbear.net at home:
But Engels never considered this one random posters personal definition of liberalism! Checkmate tankies
Yeah but it gets easier after your first language, it's just learning syntax after that
Ha that tracks. But also I'm starting to think after 7 years of trying that I just don't have a programmer's brain.
lmao this isn't even a type of misplaced colloquialism, it's straight up just fantasy worldbuilding
From its etymology, to its formulation by its original theorists, to all its political manifestations, liberalism has never been anti-capitalist
The Lib of the Rings. Frodo Trudeau and Samwise Zelenskyyyyy give a standing ovation to the Witch King of Galacia for volunteering to serve in the Ring Wraiths to proudly defend his homeland.
We all eat from the trash can all the time.
That said, some eat deeply from the trash can and lick the slimier corners of it, Zizek included.
I have been bested in the court of liberalism
another victory for the one true leftist
