Why don’t you think that? Wouldn’t it make sense that convincing groups to decimate and alienate themselves from the main body would benefit them politically? Or is this just a case of the left going off of vibes hopes and dreams
Liberals call Trump a communist on daily basis. Why should we trust these malicious and stupid people who can’t even differentiate socialism from fascism?
I don’t think the rich are creating communist orgs that accurately explain the problems today just to divide liberals from the left, considering liberalism by nature already supports the system the capitalists profit off of. If anything, your suggestion is going off of vibes, hopes, and dreams.
This is just lazy rhetoric equating me to people we both don’t like. Why is it that you claim my opinion is similar to theirs? They voted for their guy, and he’s in office, no? Seems they think electoralism does work.
Because they were manipulated and coaxed into moving the needle right. It’s your turn now and the fact your opinion is the same as theirs prior to 2016 is just more examples of this. Lemmy is severely astro-turfed. The longer I’m on here the more evident it is. .ml is a place to workshop for these groups. Just like r/the_donald was
Liberalism is an ideology founded in a few core principles. Capitalism and the right to own property, the power of the government originating from the masses rather than god, and inalienable rights for its citizens.
You guys are the ones redefining old words cause you don’t like the idea of not being considered leftist anymore. The overton window has shifted since the 1700s, yall are centrists now.
Liberal policies aren’t just a singular thing. Because of these groups astro turfing they’re getting the usual gang of idiots to say there is only one group and that is the one that shares a few center right policies.
I believe .ml is just another form of it with “liberals are right politically”
The purpose of .ml is to create views and opinions alternate and divide the left. It’s a toxic place with more support than should be warranted by it’s values.
We aren’t saying there aren’t different kinds of liberals, what we are trying to tell you is that liberalism is not a left wing ideology anymore. It is centrist and anti-communist. Yes you have left leaning liberals and right leaning. But that still only makes yall center-left and center-right.
Leftists issues with liberals is because liberals, no matter what are pro-capitalist and anti-communist. Communists are anti-property and liberals are pro-property. Yes a leftist has more in common with a left leaning liberal than they do a right leaning liberal, but that does not make their interests aligned. Historically anytime liberals and communists team up, communists get backstabbed. And more often than not, it never even gets to teaming up. Historically, liberals are the ones to team up with authoritarians to crush communists.
And I’m an anarchist. I trust Marxist communists just about as much as I do liberals. That is to say not much. And I have more interests aligned with a Marxist than I do a liberal
you’re being coaxed by the rich to create all these dividing groups
“Bad People tricked you into thinking that way” is such a shit way of engaging anyone politically.
It simultaneously serves to call the audience stupid and insert some nebulous outside agency as the scapegoat for failing to make your own case.
Like, if you want to rally people to all agree you fucking suck, there’s really no better way than to go to every individual group and say “I’m right, its obvious, and you’re just too dumb to notice.”
Didn’t answer what I asked. Being stupid is ignoring a question like this because of ego
And I don’t want to rally people. I’m honestly giving up on the left. I’ve watched them slash tires to protest … Cars. I’ve seen them defend blocking traffic even when we see how counter productive it is when it always produces footage of regular folks and emergency vehicles getting delayed. I’ve watched them Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I have seen zero effective strategies. But now I’m tired and things I wouldn’t call it I’ll say it now because I’m so fucking done watching people not realize this stuff. It’s walkaway 2.0
I’ve watched the left turn into something that is extremely toxic. There’s no social awareness. If you think what I’m saying is toxic or lacking in social awareness congratulations, that’s the strategy the left uses every single day now. There’s no effort, no consistency day to day other than areas that divide. It’s an ideology about burning bridges and purity tests
You guys ever think you’re being coaxed by the rich to create all these dividing groups. I sure do.
No, I don’t, because the rich persecute the orgs I work with.

Liberals don’t help us. They have been in power before and do absolutely nothing.
Liberals aren’t a singular group. What do you do?
They are when your definition of a liberal is material rather than aesthetic.
I don’t think the rich are creating communist orgs that accurately explain the problems today just to divide liberals from the left, considering liberalism by nature already supports the system the capitalists profit off of. If anything, your suggestion is going off of vibes, hopes, and dreams.
I didn’t say they were creating them. I am saying they’re targeting groups with more passion than brains
The rich do manipulate liberals into thinking they can get meaningful change through electoralism, but I don’t see what that has to do with leftists.
Yep. They want you to replace the rightwing, pro-corporate government with another right-wing, pro-corporate government.
Wow incredible. It’s like speaking to a trump supporter. Weird how your opinion parallels theirs.
Delusional
Yes .ml is
What a ridiculous comment.
You would say that.

We’re not creating these, we are using words to describe how things are.
No you’re redrawing lines. It’s the new “walkaway” movement getting ready for the next election. You’re going to poison the votes.
No, lmao. Politics isn’t entirely about elections, stop it with this conspiracy theory nonsense.
“We’re not making up new words, we’re just redefining old ones!”
Dude do you even know what liberal means?

What do you think astroturfing is? Which groups are these?
Let’s start with if you can recognize this is something that occurs in the first place.
Do you remember www.reddit.com/r/walkaway/
I know astroturfing exists, and yes that is an example of it. “Dark brandon” is another such example.

😢
Economically liberalism can be right of center but socially they are left. It’s complicated way more than just “they’re right”
No one is redefining words here, though.

Lol. Maybe try projecting less hard
So are you
Responds to an imperative with “so are you”, lol
You get what you give.
Incoherent, thankyou
Bro, what?
Told you so
Do you losers actively try to make everyone hate you?
Simply based on their comment history outside of this thread, yes that seems to be the case
Are you funded by the billionaire elite to defend liberalism? Obviously we divide capitalist ideology from socialist/communist groups
😆 .ml
There’s the issue
*comments on a com at lemmy.ml
*complains about a user having a lemmy.ml account
True shitlib moment!
you are in an ml com you dumb fucking lib.
Yea I can tell. Look at you.
Apparently you couldn’t tell, lol
You wouldn’t know either way
These are so weak
“You’re from instance I don’t like” isn’t a particularly strong argument fyi
Especially when they’re on that very instance.
What is this?
Do you like r/thr_donald? Does not liking them invalidate your criticism for them.
You’re on world, does that mean you are pro genocide of Palestinians? 🤔
No, I don’t. I would be against that completely
If the entirety of your criticism is where they’re from then it was never valid
What about prolific poster to mwog?
I am 100% confident that a prolific poster to mwog will provide you with something to criticize other than their participation in mwog
That’s fair. At least a start to question what they say/investigate
