Many centrist complain about “buy me a house or I will vote for stalin” mentality of current median voter (unfortunately this is vastly over exaggerated). This is understandable. You are not entitled to power just because you declare yourself moderate and your political opponents extremists after decades of eroding standards of life. But there is another aspect: “if we were to ignore economics, there is still no reason for you to get vote. What values do you even hold?”

I remember when liberal democrats actually held some values, “democracy, human rights, freedom” and now they are not mentioned at all. All of them abandoned to serve status quo, that is israhell. “human rights are not negotiable” they pretty much are. “your nation can not hide behind identity it represents after facing criticism” except if that identity is Jews. “terrorism comes from oppression, you can not use it as an excuse to violate human rights” except if you are pissrael, then I will betray all of my values to serve you. “represent voters” they say their taxes should not go to anti-hospital bombs so fuck them. All the world views, all the beliefs, all the values are gone.

I remember how quickly they abandoned all the institutions they created when those institutions did not betray their values: Wikipedia, amnesty international, icj, icc

They are litteraly evolving into north Koreans they have in their heads. Their leader loses? It is the masses fault. Our leaders is entitled to everything. Masses must deliver what they want. Let’s do some racial analysis on voters to see who failed them. Our leader has does not represent people’s will? Change the will of people’s will. If you can’t, ignore their demands

When commies say “strait is still closed” these liberal democrats respond “how is Gaza doing?”. It makes sense for commies to say “stait is still closed” even though it is not closed by a communist state. It serves their goals. Less carbon emissions, damaging petro dollar and pushing amerikkkan hegemony away from region. Current situation of Gaza only serves 3 ideologies: israhelli nationalists, zionazi anti democrats and status quo worshippers. It is a win for them since they are actually the latter

Liberal democrats treat commies as if we were born commies when most of us had somewhat liberal democrat phase. I had one too. I was always some part socialist, but I still respected and wanted liberal democrat values.

Ultimately, I would not hate usa, israhell, current liberal democrat parties and social democrat parties any less if I was liberal democrat or social democrat

    There’s this interesting recurring pattern in European history during the middle parts of the feudal era. A fairly large number of monarchs converted to Christianity and a major factor in that was that being exposed to the concepts of charitable giving or the immorality of hoarding wealth marked the first time in multigenerational memory that a monarch actually experienced any pushback whatsoever.

    newsflash-asshole “Y’all heard of this Jesus guy? He says you should feed and clothe the poor. Having a Scrooge McDuck vault directly guarantees passage to hell.”

    witch-unsmug “WHAT!? My actions have consequences for people other than serfs? That’s so crazy, I’ll get right on it. This is the first time anyone in my family line has ever been exposed to a suggestion to change anything we’re doing, other than another royal dictating the unfavorable terms of our surrender.”
