this is a completely fucked up system, imo. But now that I understand the stakes (apparently your entire account can be essentially disabled for pissing off the wrong people) i'll be more careful. One strike policy is pretty fucking nuts though

yeah i've been permanently labeled as "rude" because I got into an argument with a liberal

i'm pickle rick!

There was a drastic shift after they hired John Boyle as their first and only paid “reporter”

lol I just realized I used the word “belies” when I meant the exact fucking opposite

But those people are marginalized by the Democratic Party, which is who I was generalizing as “liberals”

Sure, I’d say that democratic socialists who want to reform liberal capitalism to be more in line with the personal liberties and inalienable rights aspects of the ideology are “progressive liberals”

I mistakenly assumed more people on understood the definition of liberalism. My bad

My overarching point was the we use the word “liberal” to mean “leftist-lite” when we shouldn’t. It should be understood as the status quo that the right is currently destroying. “Liberals” (Dems) want to restore it. Leftists want to replace it. That’s all I’ve been saying.

I was trying, but the dumbass void keeps screaming back

there are character limits that prevented me for giving a full definition

It is a view that is commonly held within my circles (people who spend their free time reading political theory)

but i was clearly mistaken as to how common of an understanding it was

thanks for the link, the first paragraph sums up the definition of liberalism that I'm using.

HELLO I AM A WHITE MAN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT THEREFORE YOU ARE STUPID. I WILL NOW FILL YOUR INBOX WITH NONSENSE, STRUT AROUND LIKE A PIGEON, AND BELIEVE I'VE ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING TODAY

Oh am I?

Could have fooled me
