That’s why they hate us deep down. They can’t reconcile the fact that they are not actually the most progressive and tolerant person in the room.
We actually support the LGBT community, we don’t just say we do. We don’t just wait until politicians finally get on this side of the fence and then cheer when they finally get on the right side of history.
Liberals are the kind of person to say their community is accepting of all genders, all nationalities, all minorities etc. but then not ban fascists who threaten that acceptance (and even lives) because everyone deserves free speech. It’s like they walk half the way, then suddenly stop and stand there, claiming this is actually where the trail ends even though you and they can clearly see the trail keeps going beyond the horizon.
We have better politics in all ways.
- We actually want things to get better
- We actually don’t want people to die, no matter if it’s from homelessness, hunger, or Ukraine.
- We actually want to hold our politicians accountable.
- Shit, we actually want competent officials.
- We actually want democracy, not whatever capitalism passes off as democracy (hey here’s a riddle, you get to vote every 4 years and your boss can decide your schedule without consulting you! Is that democracy?)
- We actually recognize fascism, even when it comes from liberals.
- We actually fight against it too.
- We are able to deeply analyze societal issues and not simply repeat from our high school history lessons.
- We know our history and geopolitics. Liberals will repeat from NATO propaganda. We’ve actually read about it.
This is impossible to the liberal who thinks so highly of themselves that they must, by default, be the most accepting and progressive person in the world.
And so they resort to calling you a CCP shill instead of actually examining their privilege and positions.
Face it liberals, we are actually the person you think you are. Not the person you want to be, because you don’t want to be anything other than what you are right now (because as a liberal you are, after all, perfect). But the person you and your fellow liberals spent years building up as being a pretty great guy.
And yes that includes whatever the fuck conservatives think they are.
During break, a colleague today (at a school) brought up Hitler after watching a documentary about it. We started talking, and he admitted he knew very little about Hitler and how he came to lead Germany, and wanted to know more. I analyzed the whole thing. Other colleagues in the area started jumping in and asking questions. They were appreciative of the way I talked about it and praised me for knowing so much about history and politics, while admitting that they also knew very little.
Now, I’m not saying this story to tout my own horn, but to emphasize what happened next. Bear in mind, nobody at the workplace knows I’m a communist. They know, I’m left-leaning, but that’s it.
Anyway, someone then jumps in and says communism and fascism are the same thing (“communism is red fascism and you have to be an idiot and not know any history to be either one”).
I bite my tongue and laugh inside. Here they are admitting they know very little history and praising me for knowing so much of it, then saying communists don’t know history.
At any rate, I don’t think I’ll reveal my politics any time so. It’s really effective injecting them with historical materialism without using the buzzwords.
Hahaha I can do you one better, a friend of mine asked why people hated Hitler so much (she is from a caucasus country, I am in Mitteleuropa), she was under the impression that only Stalin was bad and Adolf was just a particularly motivated guy whom one could/should be ambivalent about, particularly when compared to Stalin. She did listen very carefully to me and is a very smart woman, don’t get me wrong.
Her friend (also from said country) explained at a later point that the education system in said country had degraded significantly since… I’m sure you can guess the rest
Liberals, through a combination of learned helplessness and unearned arrogance, and with the help of a whole lot of western media propaganda, see the presence of societal failures as better than some imaginary worse alternative. They see corrupt men in power as The Adults In The Room That Get Shit Done And Make The Hard Decisions just like in their Prestige TV treats. They see atrocities as not only necessary but good if they happen to people they don’t like. The status quo looks fine from their water cooler chats and within their wine caves.
They see atrocities as not only necessary but good if they happen to people they don’t like.
See the way they gleefully talk about how much red states “deserve it” when something terrible happens and their governments fail to respond to environmental catastrophes, because they “voted for the wrong people”.
Right now, offline even, wine cave warrior liberals around me have openly talked about how Ukranian “deserters” that try to avoid conscription (CW: fascistic imagery and desire for punitive murder)

deserve to be “put down like dogs” for not gladly jumping into the meat grinder against the Russians.

like a dog
That’s very well articulated, and very much the reason why liberals have such a visceral hate for communists. I think the key part that infuriates them is that we reject the idea that nothing better is possible. Their whole world view is based on the idea of accepting the evils of capitalist society in favor of doing anything different.
Liberals, especially ones that are past their early 20s, are deeply cynical and hate us for having hope.
this is part of why i became a commie, because my god i dislike cynicism
Generous in assuming liberals have politics, and don’t just consume whatever’s on the television.
Blind support for status quo is a politic, however dumb.
every time liberals accuse us of being aggressive against people who disagree with us
I ask them what kind of disagreements we have and that’s when they’ll start spewing the most rancid transphobia or racism or Holocaust trivialization. Every single time. They’re always vague about what kinds of disagreements they have with communists because they know they’ve got something putrid still rotting in them. They know they’re still a national chauvinist or a bigot or they wanna own their dad’s factory one day. They have to accuse us of being secretly bigoted because that’s what they are.
They’re also forever gonna be jealous that we had absolute kings on our side like Castro and Chavez. No liberal leader has come even close to how cool they were
Simón Bolivar was pretty cool, he even came around on slavery after his exile in Haiti. Still a bourgeois creollo, don’t get me wrong, but at least he got the Spanish the fuck out of South America.
Liberals aren’t even pretending to have beliefs or morals anymore.
Feinstein and McConnel are both too old, but we can’t get rid of Feinstein because republicans won’t let dems appoint somebody to the judiciary committe (maybe shouldn’t have put an 85 year old in clear mental decline on that committee)
Biden really old and 80% of thencountry doesn’t want him to run, but we can’t give up the incumbent advantage.
They identify problems but then have an excuse for why they can’t actually do anything about those problems and most of the time the excuse is “our political opponents won’t help us solve problems we created for ourselves”
They act like if Republicans didn’t exist everything would be great. Well, if Republicans are the ones holding us back from tearing down a society that murders millions and maims countless more, shouldn’t we violently depose them??
we need a strong republican party
Nah, don’t worry for me. I’m pretty confident of the superiority of my political opinion over the one of the average Hexbear user.
Face it liberals, we are actually the person you think you are. Not the person you want to be, because you don’t want to be anything other than what you are right now (because as a liberal you are, after all, perfect).
I have literally addressed everything you could ever say
Thank you for helping me demonstrate my point.
This is impossible to the liberal who thinks so highly of themselves
