Comment on Funny, those guys don't usually agree on that much
Cryophilia@lemmy.world 4 months agoThey’re pointing to a distinction that no one cares about (except the fringe - yes, fringe - Leftists who want to abolish private property) and using that as a platform to imply or outright say false things about American liberals.
Very similar to the above example.
Motte: I, a Leftist, am criticizing the liberal support of private property, that’s all
Bailey: liberals also support fascism/colonialism/laissez-faire capitalism/insert Republican ideology here therefore Democrats support fascism/colonialism/laissez-faire capitalism/insert Republican ideology here

Jesus, I can’t keep having this argument with you. I will accept “Leftists who want to abolish private property [are fringe]” as an acceptance of the assertion that American Liberals share all or most of the central ideological tenants of Classical Liberalism.
LMAO, nobody is saying american liberals support any of those things on the basis of their liberal ideology. I’m not even sure you understand what a motte-and-bailey is, those two arguments don’t follow.
