There is no masquerading. Libertarians are just cons/repubs without the religion who smoke weed

[–] MyPornViewingAccount@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Libertarians are just republicans with a better working knowledge of local age of consent laws.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

So Diet Republicans.

Politics have been irreparably poisoned by that political compass bullshit.

The opposite of conservative is progressive, not liberal.

Liberals want to "liberate" the market from regulation, which frankly, snuggles nicely with fascists who want slaves back.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Is that why the fascists threw the liberals into prisons or murdered them?

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

No, it's why liberals have always collaborated with fascists.

Did that liberals actually call themselves "liberals"? What historic event to you refer to? Or is this just another trick of fascists in disguise to just switch the definition over to "liberal" for unwanted opinion? How is progressive not the opposite of conservative?

The problem is Americans have redefined "liberal" to mean "not liberal"

[–] Zementid@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, it seems like the redefinition of words is in full swing... like social democracy suddenly became communism. I won't study american syntax to post on a international forum....

The problem is that liberalism is a pseudo-scientific, hegemonic/capitalist ideology concocted by slavers from hundreds of years ago.
