I remember when I was growing up,

You remember propaganda (when corporations do it, it's called "Public Relations").

That's what you remember. Now, thanks to the internet democratizign information somewhat, they don't just get to feed us their "public relations" anymore. Now people can counter that shit, and people see them for what they really are - parasites.

It's capitalism, baby. Welcome to the real world.

I'd like to implant something in Elon's brain. It's called a pick-axe handle.

Western mainstream media has been pulling this trick for decades. It's always the exact same "iSrAel iS sO wIlliNg, bUt PLo/HaMas iSn't!" bullshit.

I heard the exact same today on France24 today... "something, something, no telling if Blinken can bring Hamas on board, bullcrap, bullcrap." It's the exact same lie.

Sure thing, Apartheid Boy.

Maybe you're just not enough of a white supremacist to get it.

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

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

I abuse coffee because it's a stimulant AND it's delicious.

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.
