You understand that I never suggested that liberals are left-wing and that was the entire point of my explanation?
There's nothing stated here that I didn't already know.
I’m not disagreeing, I’m just building on what you said. ❤️
There’s a surprising number of people - especially in the US, that genuinely think that liberals are leftist… and not just leftist, but “radical left.”
They will also take tankies at their word that tankies are leftist, never mind the definitions.
I’m just expounding on what you said for bystanders, really. Sending good vibes your way, internet friend.
Sorry, yesterday was a bit rough for me. 🙂
Been there. Hope you’re feeling better, today!
I'm not sure they were disagreeing with you.
I was passing out when I made the comment. What I really want to know is why why this entire thread is being downvoted to hell. Is it several tankies or just 1 with multiple accounts?
I'm one of the "tankies" downvoting the thread, but I just have the one account. You said something obviously wrong and the other person somehow managed to disagree with you while saying essentially the exact same wrong thing. It seemed like a pointless argument about nonsense.
Tankies aren't leftists.
Correct. But they like to pretend they are. The amount of mental gymnastics and Newspeak they need to get there is truly profound.
“We are leftist because OUR totalitarianism is benevolent!”
Like… that is not the way it works. That is now how any of this works. 🤣
Yes, that is the obviously wrong thing you both said.
Oh no, the authoritarian rightists fee-fees got hurt because us nasty lefties won’t let them get away with Ur-fascist Newspeak!
So sorry… well, not really.
I have no idea what you're even talking about at this point.
