Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
- No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
- Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Liberals are racists. The signs have been there all along, but it took me until very recently to notice it. Until November 2023 for me.
Edit: the sidebar made me feel safe to share my thoughts and opinions. I didn’t expect the Liberal Inquisition. I had liberals explain to me why the genocide in Gaza was necessary and if those were a fringe then there is also a video of Bill Clinton saying the same.
Saying 'liberals are racists' because of a few examples is like saying 'teachers are abusive' because a couple of bad ones made headlines. It’s not just a stretch. It’s a serious mischaracterization of the vast majority.
The overwhelming majority of liberals actively oppose racism and work toward inclusion, even if their approaches or language might differ. Just like with any group, there are going to be outliers, contradictions, and some people who get it wrong. But that’s not the same as the group being racist.
We should absolutely call out racism wherever it exists, but we should also be honest enough not to assign guilt to an entire, diverse set of people based on a biased sample or a personal turning point. That’s not truth-seeking. That’s scapegoating."
Are all liberals racists? Consciously, I would say no. But liberals do have a ton of implicit biases and policies that are straight up racist. Whether it's writing laws that disproportionately affect black people and calling them super predators (the Clintons), or deciding which countries get aid based seemingly upon skin color, liberals have a long history of policy that is very often racist, sometimes overtly so.
