    I’m not offended. The article is just same old bashing with no substance :D liberals are bad, more news at 9.

    They are bad because I say so. I think they believe this, and that and that also means they be bad.

    Its all just useless garbage. Could be replaced with AI slop. Might already be slop.

          I did twice, let’s discuss it. Can you pick a paragraph that particularly upsets you and explain why it’s wrong ?

            I read it again just for the sake of discussion. Again, I am not upset. :D There is just not a lot to talk about.

            Only takeaway I got from this is that liberals suck according to the author. Cool, I guess they do. Or at least the very wide and constantly changing group being referred as “liberals” sucks.

                    What’s with the name calling? Rude. Maybe you got some insights on the article since you think I did not read it when in fact I’ve read it multiple fucking times and the contents just won’t change :D

                  In fact, liberals do not even substantially disagree with the core of Trump’s policies. After all, both right-wing and liberal elites are loyal servants of empire, the latter just give it a veneer of humanitarianism.

                  This is low hanging fruit, you did not even try. I can imagine many arguments you could make how liberals fundamentally disagree with some policies.

                  But you would be hard pressed to refute the follow up paragraph

                  Both support policies that sustain the oppression of poor and marginalised people: the corporatisation of healthcare and education, labour exploitation, mass incarceration, militarised policing, censorship, corruption through corporate donations, and extractivism and militarism abroad. The liberals have put their spin on all these with talk about human rights, rule of law, and diversity.

                  And I think you literally have no valid counterpoints, for this op ed piece, as a whole. Or else you would have shattered me with your logic.

                  I accept your concession.

                    Who is this liberal group who does not disagree with trump? This grouping of people and ideologies is insane. Are people who agree with trump now also liberals? Is satan liberal?

                    The article makes no real points, so dunno what there is to counterpoint? This magical group of “liberals” is evil and bad and fails at everything. The group changes paragraph to paragraph. Maybe they mean to say democrats? Or democrat votera? Or americans? Or the west? Or jews?

                    Or they have defined “liberal” to mean some evil western leadership who has meaningful power but chooses not to use it because they actually agree with the way shit is going down.

                    Maybe those liberals are evil. But it’s a non-opinion. Evil people are evil!

      Weird way to admit you’re illiterate if I’m being real. There’s no way you come away with this opinion as it being insubstantial unless you 1) didn’t read it or 2) did read it but was unable or unwilling to comprehend it.

          This place is very compassionate for people with US reading comprehension. There’s no shame in admitting “I don’t understand,” but there is in, “therefore it’s wrong.”

            Compassion is not a word I would use for most interactions here. :D People are very stuck in their own interpretations of certain words, and not a single person has been able to point out what they think is good or accurate about the article. “Lol you cannot read retard” is the most common answer.

            I got that many people have a different understand of the word “liberal”. The article also seems to group a bunch of people under that umbrella and that makes little sense to me.

            It’s not really that I don’t understand, I just disagree with the generalization that “all liberals bad”. I do get that that does not fit thr general narrative in this social circle. But I tend to think that this kind of bashing articles are not really useful, and discussing with people who have different opinions is good to broaden one’s understanding of the world.

              You came in arrogant and self assured. Insults are regrettable, and the interaction could have been better handled, and you might have bothered respectfully asking for resources, bothering to read and taking time to digest, and asking for clarity or rebuttals to your presumptions. Instead, when informed you are incorrect, you doubled, tripled and quadrupled down.
