Every liberal, they are reborn anew each day with no memories whatsoever of the past

It's because if you remember anything that happened more than a week ago, you naturally turn into a Marxist

Also everyone hates you for being right and calls you a tankie

Truly our symbol should not be the hammer and sickle, but Cassandra of Troy pulling out her hair

I just have to keep telling myself, most extreme online liberals were born after 9/11 or were very young. Hell, I was only 13.

Not a defense though. Just something to keep my blood pressure low. The only problem, is every twenty years there's a new crop of people refusing to listen to anyone who was there or learn from history in any way. They just love catchy phrases that make them feel smart

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's wild to me having been a teen during 9/11, so many memories coming back of a truly dark time. And you got liberals older than me repeating literally the same talking points.

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was 13 And interested in the military. I had so many brainworms to undo. It only took me smoking some weed and listening to hippie music to break me out of the dominator culture narrative

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I too was into military shit. I had the picture of Saddam getting captured by navy seals on my locker in high school because I had brainworms.

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

It was truly a wild time to be learning how to navigate the world. I just wish I would have realized how cringe that all was from the jump

Hell yeah

And now I'll be throwing that on when I'm cleaning the garage tomorrow!

If only, it seems like they don't apply deduction to anything causing cognitive dissonance. Same shit with cia/fbi - "yeah they did fucked up shit up to %date_of_declassification%, but that's not a reason to mistrust them" but simultaneously they believe in "institutional memory". It is a choose-one situation and yet 🤷

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As much as I'm sick of annoying internet phrases like "cognitive dissonance", they wouldn't be libs without it.

Only got that and ![1984](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/e6a6e3a4-23f8-460a-b4d5-b2a214b48ee3.png "emoji 1984").

Well actually, freudists also have something about two simultaneous opposing ideas. it could be dialectics of opposite ideas with synthesis of "fuck non-white people"

[–] KarlBarqs@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The weird thing is I was also in my young teens, but seeing the libs dunking on Bush like they did Trump - with the same ineffectualness - plus things like protest music and Michael Moore, actually helped prime me for being a communist later in life.

I remember questioning everything, never trusting the news, and now to see people fall for this shit again and again since 2014ish is fucking maddening.

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

When the war was in full swing, I used to go to all the rallies. After I realized nobody was there to actually do anything effective, I knew these weren't my people. 15 year old me was smoking pot and reading Abbie Hoffman. I fancied myself as an old school 60's leftist, still kinda do. I would come into the protests all full of piss and vinegar, and I would get told by the old folks there I was doing it wrong. Fuck them. Fuck them so hard!

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

Mentions of sa10 years ago it was Libyan allegations of rape, but i decided its already fairly NSFW

I'd add Assad uses chem weapons on civilians. That one was so obviously false it prevented obummer froma full invasion.

[–] buh@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

it was first said by Virgil

Virgil who?

[–] memehaver2@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Virgil Gaul ![virgil-sad](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/0fd4a4e8-74dd-448e-b0c2-d6fa9eb7d1a7.png "emoji virgil-sad")

[–] Comp4@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think they are talking about the guy from the hit video game series Devil May Cry

Beloved support character Virgil Louisiana

Brilliant. I'm gonna post this on Mastodon and see how many tankie badges I can collect.

[–] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

The lie is that they needed an excuse to show their true face

[–] FUCKRedditMods@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

What the fuck does this have to do with liberals? None of the liberals I know support the palestinian genocide by israel.. it’s just a matter of knowing history, not whether you’re liberal or conservative.

I’ve seen fox news pushing the same line of bullshit as every other main american “news” channel, siding with the perpetrators of 70 years of genocide and war crimes.

Hamas’ attack was bad, but nothing compared to what the israelis have done for decades, and this is the prevailing sentiment in liberal spaces like reddit—by a wide margin. Liberal or conservative has nothing to do with it, if anything it would be the muslim-hating/fearing conservatives more likely to side with israel…

[–] memehaver2@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (22 children)

Liberals are the ones supplying israel, making BDS illegal, now making protests illegal. If you ask them "do you support genocide?" of course they'll say no. They'll just continue shaking hands with them, buying and selling weapons systems from them, buying their spytech and strawberries, making joint science projects and smearing everybody skeptical of israel as anti-semite.

Liberals are sinking refugee ships in the mediterranean , when people dare to escape hellhole liberals made 20/15/10 years ago in countries mentioned in the picture above. Who funds frontex do you think? Its not landed fucking gentry or council of kings. What do you think aircraft carrier group is doing near israel, having a nappie time?

And fox news are liberals. And have you seen reddit?

Just to be extremely clear here, we're not contrasting "liberal" and "conservative" as those two terms are defined in the american two-party electoral system. We're contrasting "liberal", that is, someone who supports capitalism, with "leftist", that is, someone who thinks capitalism is bad and should go away already. We're communists here, not republicans.

[–] helixdaunting@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thank you for clarifying, because I was confused as well.

Everyone in the American political milieu is a liberal by definition. Conservatives are liberals, progressives are liberals, democrats and republicans are liberals.

sadly, everything has to do with liberals. Its why the world is so fucked up.

[–] KarlBarqs@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

Yes they do

They may not say it aloud, they likely won't encourage Israel to kill em all. But they'll handwring and hem and haw about how just darn uncivil those Palestinians are and how regrettable the violence is but Israel has to defend themselves etc etc

The outcome is the same. They'll tut and fingerwag at Israel but won't raise a finger against the genocide.
