every single politics thread is just full of liberals pointing out “wow the party of small government huh lol” or “so much for party of personal freedoms huh lol” as if anyone else isnt noticing that republican/GOP marketing is an obvious lie and that even their base knows that

they really think pointing out this obvious hypocrisy is breaking the news to anyone else. and its just like, we get it dude. we all get it. we’ve all known this for a long time, im glad you’re catching up

99% of politics libs espouse or even interact with is just the same “republicans are hypocrites” bullshit over and over.

and by the way, these people are entirely unaware of their own blatant hypocrisies. i should go around saying “party of equality unless you’re trans huh lol” or “party of peace unless you’re palestinian i guess huh lol” but i dont because i know they know they don’t actually believe that shit and i know we all know it so there’s no use in pointing it out unless i wanna be jerked off by other people who already agree with me. guess that explains why thats the extent of liberal resistance to fascism. voting for diet fascism and then calling out obvious hypocrisy like nobody else noticed somehow

When tankies will learn that pointing out that liberals don't learn that pointing out fascist hypocrisy isn't doing anything to stop fascism ins't doing anything to stop liberalism?

When will the fediverse learn that pointing out that tankies pointing out that liberals don't learn that pointing out fascist hypocrisy isn't doing anything to stop fascism isn't doing anything to stop liberalism isn't doing anything to stop tankieism?

I need one of those aliens from Rick and Morty with pointy nipples tearing their shirt off to do mortal battle with a flat nippled alien as an emoji now.

when will anybody learn something something barrel of a gun

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

maybe-later-honey Uhhh that sounds like 1984 authoritarianism to me. Don't you know that political violence is always bad? Anyway, here's why our mass slaughter of Palestinians is actually a nuanced and complicated subject.

if libs had politics that were based in reality then they wouldn't be libs

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 41 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Right. The rich ones would just be conservatives, and everyone else would be socialists/communists/anarchists.

It's a party that exists to occupy the absence of anything meaningful. There are reasons why that is the case (red scare, anyone), but that is all they are.

liberals have no interest in stopping fascism, they care about stopping the left

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 44 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fascists love their own hypocrisy. It's a way to flex their muscle. They are part of the in-group for whom the law protects but does not bind. Hypocrisy allows them to show rules are for other people. Words only have definitions when they come out the mouths of the out-group.

Liberals cling to their decorum and procedures because of some moral superiority. As if the fascists are just misguided simpletons who can be changed by showing them how to behave properly. The liberal thinks the fascist will grow a conscience once the fascist kills enough people.

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

exactly. that’s the thing thats so maddening about libs. they point this shit out like these people arent just fucking flexing on us all doing this shit. they’re pulling a “why are you hitting yourself” on us all and libs think going “look he’s saying im hitting myself when he’s the one hitting me” is somehow exposing the fascist, and its just like yeah no shit.

[–] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Seemingly never. I remember after several years of watching Jon Stewart do his shtick long ago, getting frustrated even as a viewer that he and his writers were putting so much effort into simply mocking republicans to literally no discernible effect. It made me realize what a flimsy weapon sarcasm is, on a political scale.

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

It's actually the opposite of a weapon. It is false catharsis. Liberals watch shows like John Oliver's and feel like they've resolved a problem when all they've really done is make themselves feel righteous.

i think mike from PA said it best: liberals are basically hall monitors running to tattle on the class clown... as if the class clown will actually show up for detention.

Smugness is the last refuge of the incompetent

[–] cinnaa42@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago

they will not. it allows them to feel as though they aren't entirely complicit in the centuries-long sequence of events which led to this exact conclusion. this is the basis of almost everything that liberals say and do.

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago

Liberals are a stage of fascists

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago

Never. Those who realize the types of actions needed will go down a path that removes their liberalism.

ceo @ my company pointed out today that Trump is following the playbook of Hitler step by step... and if only the Democrats would stand up and say something about it we could stop it...

smh

[–] Bloobish@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

Liberals are just refined fascists, they hate the aesthetic of fascism that republicans conduct themselves by and that is what truly pisses them off (i.e. orange man loud and bad/stupid).

[–] mermella@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Look more into the psychology of hypocrisy. That’s the battle that no one is fighting

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just one more time. Just the next one they promise. For sure it will work this time.
