One of many. And we do it for free, too.

No, I'm not. And yet people still invite me to theirs.

fighting fascism with fascism

Good God but you are dense. Have you ever seen liberals oppose fascism in any way whatsoever? Why would they oppose the very thing that allows the liberal order to exist in the first place?

how the fuck do you expect liberals to protect the status quo against violence?

With fascists. That's how, Clyde.

That seems counter intuitive, this is literally an impossible proposal here.

Don't tell me it's impossible. Tell it to the liberals who applauded Biden when he added more armed fascist goons to the streets when people were demanding he defund and/or abolish them.

Doesn't seem that impossible to them, does it?

I needed an ELI5 really.

Liberals essentially cover for both capitalists and fascists. See, capitalist and fascist ideology are very unpopular on their own, so liberals come up with all kinds of ways to pretend that rich people owning everything is good for everyone (capitalism) or pretending that more police repression means more safety (fascism).

Liberalsm essentially acts as the pretend-friendly "facade" ideology of this unholy trio - so yes, it's simply coherent for leftists to despise liberalism.

The very last line is redundant. If you don't know by now what the critical role fascism plays in the liberal order is, I don't know what to tell you.

wait, why are we holding liberals responsible?

You mean, apart from the fact that liberals cannot protect the status quo without violent fascists and therefore protects and enables fascism?

Apart from that?

If you call yourself a "conservative" you're either a fascist or a liberal that just isn't quite there yet.

Oh look... the capitalists liberals have been bending over backwards for so many decades is happily marching in lock-step with fascists - again.

If only someone could have predicted this!

You can't train a Russian bot to sound as stupid as Musk - the tech just isn't there yet.

These two private organizations are the ones who decide who we get to choose from

So-called "liberal democracy" in a nutshell. And according to the "vote blue no matter who" crowd, nobody is allowed to talk about it.

You can't "abandon" something you never had in the first place.
