That's right. BlueAnon has cracked the secret code and found the REAL mole children, Russians. You can spot a Russian because as a Trump supporter they famously know the correct definition of words. Actually, liberalism means being a freedom fighter.

    "liberal" does not refer to any specific economic ideology. Its about social freedom and equal rights for all

    So deep into an ideology they arent even aware of it

    in Russia and the rest of the world, liberal refers to right-wing politics

    Words don't have different definitions because you're in fucking guns-and-mcdonalds-land. That's just what "liberal" means, including here. This is one of the more insidious tactics the dems try to convince anyone they're left-wing, since it intentionally obscures the fact that the U.S.A. only has a right-wing party and a far-right party.
    The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist, and all that.

      Words don’t have different definitions because you’re in fucking guns-and-mcdonalds-land. That’s just what “liberal” means, including here.

      Liberal traditionally gets paired with conservative, in the US, because these are the two poles of the local political system.

      It's sort of like how "Left" and "Right" derive from the two wings of the French Parliament prior to their first big revolution. If I said "You're only on the Right if you're a Monarchist. You're on the Left if you're a petite bourgeoise merchant who wants to do secular capitalism internationally" you'd look at me cross-eyed. But that's technically where all this shit is derived from.

      Words do, in fact, have different definitions based on the context and the speaker and the historical moment.

      According to someone in r/shitliberalssay they like to go into the subreddit and accuse random people of being Russian agents. I'm tempted to look through their history but if it's like this I need to be drunk enough to forget it afterward.

            For sure. It's too perfect to not be an op. It has all those time honored cia/cointelpro red scare hits. It's tailormade to suck in addlebrained elder democrats and neolibs. Like a familiar and comfortable blanket.

          One of two subreddits to ban me for being a socialist, the other being r/againsthatesubreddits. Recuperation is such a vicious thing. That feral blueanon is the enemy of the altright, radicals can't be while the adults are in the room.

            I've gotten a bunch of 72 hour bans from fuckthealtright, marchagainstnazis, and ironfront.

            I guess I'm too much of a lib to earn a permaban. :dem:

      They are legitimately convinced there is nothing better. They believe representative democracy, private property, and free enterprise are the foundation upon which social progress is built. They fetishize the republican institutions while being blind to their outcomes. Any attempt to undermine these institutions is, in their eyes, and attempt to undermine democracy itself. To them, any societal ill can be addressed by building up upon the republican foundation. They legitimately don't understand that sometimes you have to pull out the weeds, roots and all.

      Not at all. r/activemeasures is the premiere source for news about Putin doing scooby doo episodes that actually explain everything wrong with the country.

        Liberals will never do a moment of self reflection as to why everyone outside of their own clique hates them so it must be le Putin's fault.

            At this point anyone who's left not drinking the kool aid knows Russiagate was a psyop by the CIA. Libs love it because it takes the heat off the failure of their ideology and instead blames all their problems on that big other.

    this makes sense as americans don't use the word like the rest of the world so yeah if someone is speaking in the correct way they are probably a foreigner although incredibly funny that they point out that it is both rusia and THE REST OF THE PLANET and it acts as if we were the wrong ones

      If it's used in contradiction to its meaning by people who don't know what it means, that doesn't change its meaning or give it a usable new one. Every Christian fundamentalist in the world is sure what the theory of evolution means and they try to culturally redefine it constantly. Anyone with a basic understanding of biology, the barrier to it being a child's textbook about biology, has a full awareness of its meaning and can actually use it coherently in a sentence. Plenty of liberals will call themselves left-wingers but it's because they're stupid and don't read a single book about what that word means or the mechanics of ideology and society. Accepting the legitimacy of their fuck-fuck game means accepting a false narrative and conflict that they control without understanding. An American who reads a book about American history has clear examples of what liberalism means and how it contrasts with the left through the same dynamics it does in every other country.

    So all non-US-centric vocab is Russian bot.

    You know what, I can see the logical consistency between this and the lib version of American exceptionalism. Nothing threatens US liberalism (including white left and succdem!!) more than the idea that the US is not the manifest destiny of the whole world, that the future of the planet may lie somewhere beyond the US or its reach.

    So of course, whenever you even implicitly question US centrism, you’re a Russian bot
