It hurt itself in its confusion!

TBF he was only active on Lemmy during the month of the 2023 Reddit third-party app exodus.
And Democrats aided & abetted a genocide until they lost control of the executive branch four months ago.
Also, I don’t know what liberals you’re referring to. I’m a progressive.
As I’ve explained elsewhere in this post, unless you want to abolish private ownership of the means of production, you’re probably a liberal. The vast majority of both Democrats and Republicans are liberals. Progressive liberals like Bernie Sanders are still liberals. Sanders will say that It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism, and he’ll complain about crony capitalism and über capitalism, but he’ll never question capitalism as such. He’ll never question private ownership of the means of production, in the sanctity of private property.
Almost the only people who aren’t liberals are either socialists or fascists, and even fascists believe in capitalism just as liberals do.
Most Republicans also believe in those things, though they quibble with Democrats over the details. Only fascists, monarchists, etc. don’t.
Both Democrats and Republicans are liberals
What?
The first sentence from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism:
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, the right to private property and equality before the law.
From the first paragraph of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_property[1]:
Private property is foundational to capitalism, an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.
That’s what liberals believe. Liberals are those who support capitalism, which both Democrats and Republicans do.
Not to be confused with personal property. ↩︎
Under oppression of what? Of CIA-backed terrorist attacks being suppressed? Oh the huge manatee.
Because when the vote was cast, Western Ukrainian Banderites were in power. Previously in this post.
This is all the more egregious now when Russia seeks to use a false accusation of Nazism to try to justify its unconscionable ongoing brutality against the people of Ukraine.

The Banderite fascists didn’t suddenly spring into existence at the moment of their 2014 coup. They go all the way back to the 1930s.
