Just baffling

Some liberals don't even think there's a problem. They think movements like MAGA and Brexit are just low information voters being riled up by algorithms and populists.

They don't just think they're low information voters, liberals make completely casual attributions to low IQ i.e. scientific racist garbage but completely normalized.
- Bonus points for jumping onto latinos and blacks who didnt turn out for Biden/Harris and immediate show that they are deeply racists twats who just virtue signaled before, to get these communities to vote for them.
- There's a ton of people on all sides of the political spectrum who are low information because they do not understand how to vet sources.
they be living the most insane and obvious property crisis ever and they would still say it's just people voting wrong.
Liberals literally marry into Maga and fascist families by fooling themselves using this sophistry.
Holy fuck this is spot on.
I'm so tired of hearing "they're so racist"
It's such a terminating clause. Like we don't need to actually understand at a deeper level why guy born a Mexican, still is Mexican but is voting for Trump because.... They're racist against Mexicans????
I'm so done with the left. It's so tiring. They even adapt their messages. I can go back 15 years and still see the exact comments of "they're racist" while right wing dominate spaces seem to come up with new things every 6 months. Soy cuck Wojack probably conjures up a whole era all our minds right? What about "man they're racist" what does that conjure up?
The left should lose the right to call anyone low information voters until they sort themselves the fuck out
- I think you're confused, liberals aren't left. The commenter you are replying to is complaining about liberals, ie "moderate" right wingers, failing to understand far-right wingers.
- They are racist though though. Non white people can still accept and prop up systemic white supremacy. Anyone who supports the US or NATO is doing this. I see it all the time among my family and friends who are not white. To leftists racism isn't just prejudice based on race, its prejudice based on race + the power in society to enforce that as a system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prejudice_plus_power
- Libs arent generally considered left.
- What if a leftist invented wojack?

My girlfriend thinks capitalism is fine and doesn’t care about billionaires existing.

She’s never had a minimum wage job or worked in the service industry 🙄

Don't you mean ex-girlfriend?
- ~~Ex-Girlfriend~~ Sugar Momma is what I think you meant.
99% of the people that think capitalism is awesome, are not remotely aware of what capitalism is.
Every citizen should have to do a year waiting tables just to know not to be a dick.
Just curious, what is the alternative you propose? We have seen communism, that doesn't work either.
In my country we also have capatalism but we still have workers rights and all of that. It is just in America that employers managed to get everything their way. Other countries have free markets without abusing their workers.
- This is wrong on several accounts.
  "Communism" the economic system has not been realized. Communist parties have led socialist countries, but communism as a mode of production is a product of the future.
  Socialism works, the largest economy on the planet is the PRC, which is seeing rapid and comprehensive improvements in the living standards of its people. Even the USSR, now no longer here, achieved impressive economic growth, provided free healthcare and education, and much more.
  Capitalism, by definition, requires that the capitalists be in charge and the workers exploited. It isn't just the US.
- Socialized Democracy.
  Basically democracy with robust safety nets, strong regulation on business, strong labor unions, and socialized healthcare and higher education OPTIONS.
  Capitalism is good for competition and innovation so we can’t really ditch it completely, but we live in society, not the jungle, so we should have safety nets and socialized options for poor people to gain independence and social mobility.
- We have seen authoritarian communism that regressed into autocratic nationalist imperialist communism. We have also seen authoritarian communism that has shifted into state capitalism. Just like there are many variations of capitalism that we have and have not seen, there are likewise many of socialism and even communism that we have and have not seen.

The Great Man just decided it should collapse.

I wish it were more difficult to go through your life while refusing to understand that cause and effect apply to politics just like everything else.

Liberalism cannot even protect their own liberal values so let's not protend they'd really try and fix broken systems

Oh they try. And we see the results.

You mean they know exactly what the problem but choose bury their heads in the sand.

What's the problem? Is it unchecked capitalism? I think it might be unchecked capitalism.
- Even checked capitalism is still the problem. Both decay, both lead to imperialism.

When a capitalist system collapse, the always make an reset with a war.

If you want to know more, Lenin described this in more detail in "Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism".
- Yes, but the current heatwave in Spain I was not going to put here all Lenin's manuscript here because of an axiom like this.

"Okay one second can someone draw each side as dark seid and batman so I can understand what's going on?"

Future students of geopolitics will take entire courses studying “The Simpsons”

Only the first 6 seasons.

"We can't take that chance." "You always say that! I want to take a chance!"

This is still the best Simpsons episode ever.

Which episode is this? Cause it's really bugging me that I can't place it. I want to say it's the Globex / Scorpio episode, but I can't say for sure.
And I will politely disagree about it being the best episode. If it is the Scorpio one, it's still very, very, good. But S01 E05 Bart the General will always be my favorite.
- You Only Move Twice S08E02 For me it's the best. I love Hank Scorpio and the joke density in that episode is insane. It's one great joke after another.
  "Have you ever seen a man say goodbye to a shoe?" "Hehe, yes once."

Is liberal used here in the correct sense or in the USA sense? I can never tell which it is in English

In the sense of liberalism as the ideological superstructure of capitalism.
- The correct sense then. Thank you
