“You must be fun at parties.” Uh why would I want to party with Nazis?

“So edgy.” If I cared what liberals thought, I wouldn’t be a communist.

“You’re just a larper.” Larp it till you make it, am I right? Also, what have larpers ever done to you?

“Nazism and communism are the same.” Yes, Nazism is when you want to destroy Nazism forever rather than fund it the way you do.

Any of the "echo chamber" bullshit that they love, for 2 reasons:

1 - It literally just refers to any online group that broadly agree with each other, but they don't agree with you. They broadly like each other, but not you. They value each other's perspectives, but not yours. It's literally just "I'm getting rejected and I don't like it."

2 - directed against communists in particular, it's just absurd. The vast, overwhelming majority of communists on this earth live in capitalist countries. They literally have more exposure in their day-to-day, moment-to-moment lives to capitalism and the liberal bullshit that "justifies" it, than they do to their own beliefs. Even online, communists and communist focused communities are a fucking unicorn, most spaces are liberal shitholes.

Exactly this.

Which make the accusation an hypocritical projection on top of being absurd. Gotta love liberal's lack of any self awareness.
