For a long time liberals have been relying on their entourage’s (family and friends and coworkers) ignorance on global and domestic politics to virtue signal, act all knowing and justify the most heinous acts on humanity.
From genocide to sexual assault in the name of democracy and freedom which they themselves dont really care about as long as they can buy their lego set and post a rant on reddit on some leftist girl that rejected them or try to convince a someone why that palestinian toddler crying because his parents are dead and in pieces is fake and a russian psy op.
Do these people really think they are good people? what do other westerners think of shitlibs? and are they real people? really do people think biden and the rest of demonrats are really some sor tof guenine vanguard of leaderships and human rights that they ll fight off any cricism of them?
Liberals genuinely believe that they are the smartest and most moral people who have ever lived.
They’re narcissists. Liberalism is a narcissistic ideology.
As someone (sadly) living in Amerikkka I can confirm shitlibs are real and much more intolerable in person
From the belly of the beast, I can tell you what the liberal is doing. I see it every day.
I have a friend here, a liberal. Honestly, it’s hilarious. When we had first spoke politics, I kept mine a bit of a secret. He had asked me to place myself on the political compass. He and another friend I was talking to did in kind. He drew himself somewhere in the center of lib-left. My other friend drew himself a bit closer to center, but further down the y axis. I, not wanting to reveal my political identity because I had no idea how he would react immediately (and to some extent I was still discovering it myself), placed myself dead center of the y-axis, but all the way to the left of the x-axis. He said “Wow” and said “He was more left than a liberal.” When I asked his tendency, he said he was a SocDem. Come to find out, my more moderate friend is more truly leftist than he is.
He makes excuses for empire every day. He claims to be an ally in public, and in private, as he gets more comfortable being around me, he is progressively more homophobic. He’s quite nastily transphobic as well. He doesn’t like Hasan Piker because he’s ‘an idiot’ (fair statement for the wrong reasons) and ‘too pro-China.’ He spouts CIA talking points around Xinjiang and talks about how “China is colonizing Africa” by using debt traps. Whenever America’s evil actions are brought up geopolitically, he doesn’t deny them, but he almost excuses them by saying China is also evil, and just as bad.
He supports the banderite Nazis in Ukraine and thinks Trump is a Russian asset, and that Putin is some kind of malevolent puppet master. He doesn’t understand what I mean when I say I am ‘anti-capitalist’ or when I say 'capitalism is the reason for x problem. ’ He usually just handwaves it away to being me complaining about something as banal as billionaires. When I say that the CIA/NSA is a tool of the ruling class, he doesn’t understand and almost plays dumb about it. He pretends like American intelligence exists in a vacuum as some sort of rogue agent. He also pretends like American-Israeli relations is the tail wagging the dog, and that Israel is controlling the US through Trump.
He’s upset about how Trump is ‘destroying this country’ and, when me and a fellow ML friend in the friend group made a joke about it, he said he would ‘vote for [Biden’s decaying corpse] over [Trump or Vance]’ in 2028. He declares that we won in Vietnam because we killed more people. He believes that ‘some crazy tankies’ wish they would live under ‘Stalin’s authoritarian rule’ and that ‘Taijikistan is worse (read: more ‘authoritarian’) than North Korea (? I don’t recall what spurred that on).’ He calls some specific draft dodgers cowards, and when I say there is no war for which it is worth fighting for America, he brings up World War II and D-Day as though America turned the tide, ignoring completely the contributions of the Red Army.
Despite all this, he truly believes himself to be righteous. To be politically standing up for the little guy. He believes the Democrats to be the lesser evil party that—through voting and picking the right politicians like Bernie or AOC or Zohran—can be reformed into greatness for Americans. The global south is completely absent from any of his considerations. Perhaps the only time he has ever shown any sympathy towards Socialism, is expressing that Batista was the token liberal bad guy™ in the Cuban revolution. When he once read a quote from the head of Studio Ghibli talking about being anti-American (where he mentioned being anti-burger, anti-jeans, and anti a bunch of other American iconography), my friend immediately jumped to the defense of America, and to how stupid that quote is. When I mentioned it is not unlikely to say that this man is against American imperialism in Japan and anti third world sweatshops and exploitation (probably because he wants Japan to do it but I digress), his only response was “Well… He should’ve said that then!”
His views are incapable of being rationalized with the conditions of the global south. In truth, he is in favor of the untold suffering of billions so that he could have his comfortable lifestyle, and he can wag his finger at domestic examples of what we do internationally. I suppose I should not be surprised. His family is bourgeois after all. Not extremely wealthy, but certainly very well off, and he is planning to become a doctor only for the money.
TL; DR: My friend is the ultimate liberal and his views can be entirely summarized by the fact that he sees the sentence “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” as an example of a dystopian authoritarian dictatorship totalitarian word salad nightmare.
Trust me, as an American, not only are shit libs real but they are EVERYWHERE. Yes, liberals absolutely believe they are good people because they don’t support “authoritarianism” and the vast majority of westerners either agree out of ignorance or are fascists
There’s a great deal of work to do to actually build class consciousness in the US
I’d tell shitlibs to go to Hell but even Satan doesn’t want their company.
