My eyes glazed over as soon as you said libs.
Comment on Lemmy is the best social media

Given how the libs here so readily resort to the unfalsifiable, ad hominem conspiracy theory of accusing anyone who disagrees with them of being a Russian bot, it’s wild to think that there are places they see as even more filled with Russian bots.

You don’t need to tell me that .world’ers don’t like critiques of capitalism/liberalism.

They’re so predictable it’s a meme at this point. Shame though, good communities and some good people on .ml I have to proceed on a case by case with them

I guess you’re part of the American right? You see… the right in the US has been fed a steady stream of Russian propaganda through their talking heads for a while now. So the right has become indistinguishable from Russian bots. Sorry for the confusion!

Why on earth would you think I’m on the American right?

Thought “libs” was an American specific term. My apologies.
Objection@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
“Libs” is short for “liberal,” meaning a supporter of capitalism. Those on the American right who aren’t fascists are generally liberals, though they often don’t know what it means. When I criticize liberals, it’s from a leftist/anti-capitalist perspective.

Didn’t mention capitalism, and I consider myself a socialist, but go off
Objection@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
You consider yourself a socialist but don’t like people criticizing liberals? Do words mean things?
