I think this is what liberals feel like when they 
Coming up next: liberals say voting is an act of violence
liberals fighting anyone with actual political convictions because the possibility of believing anything scares them
insert Kingdom of Conscience quote
The idea of “political plurality” as such turns out to be the negation of the possibility of achieving any kind of truth in the realm of politics, it reduces all historical and value claims to the rank of mere opinion. And of course, so long as someone’s political convictions are mere opinion, they won’t rise to defend them. And so the liberal state remains the dictatorial organ of the bourgeoisie, with roads being built or legislation being passed only as commanded by the interests of capital, completely disregarding the interests of workers. Under regimes where political plurality is falsely upheld as a supreme virtue, the very notion of asserting oneself as possessing a truth appears aggressive and “authoritarian.”
Populism
IE: doing popular things that make people like you, is inherently bad and evil.
They're so scared of the unwashed masses they proscribe anything to do with them as evil regardless of the nature of the politics.
right-wingers stole populism like they stole libertarian, and it liberals are more than happy to lump the right-wing populism of the last 20ish years with the general popularity of social programs. the original Populists were proto-socialist farmers in the 19th century and they were probably about as good as white people could get at the time short of our boy.
Liberals fighting alone to invade countries and privatize their states, steal resources, and "reduce trade barriers", in a non extremist way.
Ahh yes the well defined and deeply researched political ideology "extremism"
I thought libs abhorred violence (at least superficially)
They're still riding off the high of WWII (and will never stop).
Considering most libs are quite fond/indifferent of socialism (which to them means social democracy in Scandinavia) it's a massive hitler particles moment to call yourself an antisocialist lib
Liberalism standing atop a pile of dead bodies?
Accurate
Colonist attacks the indigenous population of hell with a shotgun, sounds like liberal extremism too me
mmmm I was told violence is never the answer, I'm getting some mixed signals here
People actually talk this way about liberalism? Almost all of the Usian libs I have talked to about politics basically don't realize they're socialists or just don't have that deep of an understanding of politics at all. I don't think I've ever met one in person who was like...proud of it? Maybe it's because I spent most of my life in very conservative areas or something so it's not the status quo
yeah every normie i've ever known that defines themselves as a "liberal" is actually a demsoc or socdem or undefined leftist. because in the U.S. liberal has always just meant "not conservative".
normie liberals just call themselves centrists or apolitical
i thought actual, ideological liberals were confined to the Accela Corridor
This person being german is incredibly unsurprising since germans are like the liberals of liberals.
Thats why you're gleefully supporting or carrying out genocides
Doom Guy should have debated the legions of Hell in the marketplace of ideals
Liberalism is perpetually being 45 and a nerd.
The most turbolib I know is 34 and works from home and never leaves the house
Inaccurate, you'd have fascism doing its thing right next to you
They don’t know what any of those words mean
Did you give these names to the babies that were killed by your bombs?
that's a lot of 'isms
That sounds a little extreme.
Fighting fascism by funding, arming, training, and politically backing actual fascists over and over, it's probably just a coincidence though
