I don’t disagree. Economic predicament is also exploited by capital owners to exploit workers no matter the race and ethnicity.
What’s with moronic comments I am seeing lately such as yours in Lemmy?
The people of Worcester, Massachusetts prove that the powers-that-be should not be feared.

AOC reminding Americans how to be brave. Penny auctions were a thing, which implied Americans used to be able to stand up to corrupt oligarchs and monied interests. Where is that solidarity and sentiment now? Do Americans need to be poor again altogether in order to rise up?
Liberal democracy is, well, liberal democracy. It doesn’t just mean capitalism.
Yes, but read the last part of my comment. There are still some liberals today who would not be considered conservative. They still believe in liberal democracy, individual freedom and open to revolution if it comes to it, but they are skeptical of economic liberalism. So yes, context still matters, which transcends time and space.
I have said this in another post, Western employers love to hire non-Western immigrants because non-Western cultures are still traditional and conditioned to obey authority and hierarchy, and to value work more. And more importantly, this results in a less class conscious population, so non-Westerners are less likely to complain and unionise than their Western counterparts. While the minimum wage in most Western countries is peanuts these days when one considers the worsening cost of living, immigrants think Western minimum wage is CEO-level salary when compared to their home country’s basic pay, and thus don’t complain for being overworked for little pay by Western standards. Needless to say, Western companies exploit non-Westerners because the latter don’t know better.
Liberalism is pro- status quo
As people would say, context is king. So it depends. The OG liberals were anti-status quo and open to radical changes. But now since liberalism has become the status quo, liberals are now the conservatives and some prefer moderated approach, which unfortunately enables fascism. But even so, some liberals still believe in radical changes if push comes to shove.
It is good to be exposed to dirt to build the immune system; not by doing so on literal shit.
It’s merely the worm wanting to return to its ecosystem.
Okay, fair. But the way your previous comment make it sound like in broad sense liberals are conservatives, which is not really the case.
Huh? Maybe at this day and age, sure, but liberal means progressive at the time when its ideas were being formulated. They opposed feudalism and monarchies at the time, which are the conservatives at the time.
What is considered conservative today is considered liberal in the past. And what is considered liberal today is considered unthinkable in the past. It just that the Overton window shifted.

Serious question, how about making biological drug compounds like monoclonal antibodies?
All that ramblings and not a word made any sense.
