Like what is the point? They are not rich. They will never be rich. And their leaders slash their retirement funds to shreds, make their healthcare unaffordable. And yet they keep going after them like sheep. 'We absolutely need to buy new tanks man otherwise PUUUUUTIN!!!! Well we actually spend too much on healthcare so we need to cut back a little, it will be tough but necessary. Billions in tax cuts to rich people? Billions in paid dividends? Never heard of it.'
I despise liberals for their racism more then anything. I know where I stand with a Trump Supporter or your average European Nazi. They hate Muslims and make it known. They don't pester about us hating them back, they get that it's a mutual understanding.
But liberals... they will aay the most fascist shit to you either through dogwhistles or with the mask off, yet get infuriatingly whiney about being confronted. They will support the same shit as the far right or at least refuse to address a core concern which essentially does the same thing, but if I call them bigots they become insufferable.
The smug self importance is significantly more insulting then the far right's staunch anti-intellucrualism. The person who believes reading a book will turn him gay isn't exactly boasting about his intellectual superiority. The college educated man-child whose never critically engaged with a piece of political theory beyond an ideologues biography, somehow believes himself to be a the resurrection of Socrates, and that delusion is unacceptably grating.
One of the things I hate about liberals is how they tone police people. The moment people who show genuine concern for everyone and are actually engaged in the analysis of issues affecting people worldwide is the moment they start condescendingly talk down to them.
They act like you pushing back against their arrogant self-importance and smugness is you being disrespectful. They're never interested in hearing what you have to say. To them, calling out their genocidal racism, chauvinist behavior, hypocrisy, tokenism, etc. is you "not being open-minded". Excuse me? Whenever I list a number of reasons for liberals being indistinguishable from fascists, you start acting like a fascist. You get all excited about how Trump is going to do mass deportations as if you've never done the same thing. You get upset about how I'm not platforming your fascist apologism. It's pretty rich of you to accuse me of "not being open-minded" when you literally dismiss all evidence of NATO funding Nazis in Ukraine as "Russian Propaganda".
These people love to infantilize entire peoples and cultures. They love generalizing entire populations because of their countries' political structures, instead of thinking about the material conditions of a specific country they obsess over.
Liberals are truly some of the most insufferable people. The fact that I'm the only communist in my mostly reactionary family, some of whom are liberals, is mentally exhausting.
