Both the Taliban

You didn’t get the memo? The US ran from Afghanistan with it’s tail between it’s legs, while the Taliban rules there and is now literally untouchable. The US’s “steamrolling” isn’t as impressive as you believe it to be.

“winning hearts and minds”

The US can’t even win “hearts & minds” in Bumfucksville, Arizona any more.

Is Canada supposed to be afraid of a country that couldn’t defeat Vietnamese rice farmers and Afghan goatherders?

I’d rather not. Talking to liberals is migraine-inducing.

1. If you don’t know what the term “radical” means, at least have the courtesy to not use it in sentences.

2. Blamed by WHOM?

3. "The Weimar Republic, Germany’s 12-year experiment with democracy liberalism, came to an end after the Nazis came to power

FTFY. Liberalism is anti-democratic and inevitably leads to fascism when it fails to protect the capitalists’ precious status quo.

but the right wingers insist it’s the “radical leftism” of social democracy.

That shouldn’t surprise us. The capitalist order only allows for the existence of two (supposedly) opposing ideologies - liberalism and fascism - that in reality is complementary to each other when it comes to maintaining their precious status quo.

So it stands to reason that fascists should cast liberals as the “Radical Left!” - that’s the ideology they are taking over from as liberalism is failing to maintain the status quo. It’s failing in it’s role as “good cop.”

It is far, far easier to radicalise a fascist than a liberal. A fascist, unlike a liberal, has to actually do the dirty work of the capitalist class while the liberal benefits from it while pretending their hands are clean. It’s not that difficult pointing this out to fascists - deep down, most of them already suspect this.

MLK was correct about liberals.

Biden is a right-winger. Liberalism is right-wing, and has never been anything else.

Seems like a surefire way to get a promotion these days.

Thanks.

What’s an LIDL?

Fuck tolerance.

See? It’s that easy. No paradoxes required.

So your solution is to increase the genocide and hostility

That’s not my “solution,” liberal - that is what your precious status quo will be doing anyway.

The capitalist status quo is protected by a political wing we call “liberalism” and a paramilitary wing we call “fascism.”

Carrot and stick, good cop/bad cop - pick your metaphor.

For far too long, leftists have laboured under the delusion that liberals are merely “misguided” people that can be “pushed” left as soon as we could get them to read this or that book by our favourite Beardy McDeadguy. This kind of understanding of these people we call “centrists,” “moderates,” and, by far the most accurate term, “liberals,” completely ignores the fact that it is liberalism - not fascism - that is the true ideology of privilege. Privilege that means that liberals are even more invested in the maintenance of the status quo that the rank and file of fascism are.

The left has always proven itself capable of defeating fascists - but it seems that it has no real answer to the insidious, co-opting tentacles of the liberal and the mountain of lies liberalism is built upon.

One of the biggest scams liberalism pulled on us is to convince us that we exist in societies where we actually have “rights” and “freedoms.”

In reality, we exist in a society that is hierarchically based on privilege.
