  Pretty much. “Lol why don’t you like libs?”

  …cause we don’t like things the way they are, and the only goal of the libs appears to be prevent any sort of progress. Maybe we are allowed relief from existing problems, but fuck you if you wanna fix em!

    the only goal of the libs appears to be prevent any sort of progress.

    “Liberal” in America is literally synonymous with “progressive”. The entire point of the party is progress.

    @Cowbee@lemmy.ml here’s another one

      Lol which party is pushing for progress?

      The one throwing kids in jail for protesting genocide?

      The one funnelling money to Israel hand over foot?

      The one that let Republicans stack the judiciary while crying that it was “unfair” but not actually working to stop it?

      Fuck the D’s bunch of cowards.

        Yes.

        Fuck the GOP. They’re doing everything you criticise the Dems for, except worse. That’s what “progress” means. Not that everything is instantly perfect. That it’s less bad.

      What are you even talking about? There are numerous Democrat politicians who don’t label themselves as progressive.

        I didn’t say “Democrat” at all in my comment.

        All progressives are Democrats, not all Democrats are progressives. The Democratic party is a coalition.

      No, the entire point of liberalism is continued private property rights.

        *Economic liberalism.

  The only time I ever see evidence of Anarcho types they are being literally as annoying as possible.

    Anarchists are pretty active in their communities, with mutual aid and direct action being cornerstones of the ideology and whatnot. If you spent any time in activist spaces you’d know that

      The point is they need to bring the nice side to public spaces, not be insular with the nice, and turn the mean to everything else.

        I think what you’re describing is less of an anarchism problem and more of a “people in general” problem. I’m an anarchist and I’d like to think I conduct myself pretty well for the most part, even in political discussions. I won’t say I haven’t been an ass online or in person before but that’s not due to my ideology. I’m just an ass sometimes. Same as everyone else. I will concede that we can be a bit insular at times and that’s certainly a weak spot for many anarchists

    …you said, being literally as annoying as possible and contributing nothing constructive

    …he said, fully cognizant of the hypocrisy, which is why he decided to contribute a snarky editorial comic

      Yeah, that

      • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Bro you gotta be constructive not destructive if you want to sway opinions

        At least I admitted my hypocrisy and did something about it. You’re just doubling down on a lazy stereotype to avoid engaging with constructive criticism.

    I returned because I noticed your edit. I was being a bit snide, mostly because the meme is assuming everyone who calls someone a lib is authoritarian-aligned. If you’d like to know about the positive work I do as an organizer, I’d be happy to share. However, to me those actions are just the right thing to do and not worth bringing up randomly.

      That’s fair. Below I clarified as well, this is a meta.thread. of course no one is discussing their work here. Also my opinion is anecdotal. Of course there are leftists who work very hard to move the window, and help others.
