Inspired by this thread where at least five different libs made the same point and responded the same way when I tried to poke their bubble. Seriously CTRL+F my username or the word “voter” it’s downright surreal. The hivemindness of the affair was also pretty weird, but I’m not one to meme the same interaction twice.
I argued with a libertarian IRL once and they accused me of watching too much liberal news. There’s no point in arguing with robots that answer in binary and have no media literacy.
My favorite is when they make fun of Biden in retaliation, and then I join in on it. It breaks their tiny world.

Reminds me of the time my boomer dad was losing a political argument and started to talk about AI out of nowhere thinking I must be enthusiastically in favor since I use computers a lot.
Turns out it’s one of the few political topics where we are in complete agreement, and it was a much nicer conversation after that 😁
Hey, now. Let’s not disparage our helpful peeps that actually speak binary. Libertarians are more like clones than droids, TBF. 😆
It’s your own fault for assuming that “honest debate” is a valid strategy for dealing with people who insist that oligarchic popularity contests qualifies as “rule by the people.”
Do not engage with liberals unless you are willing to go all the way and attack liberal mythology at it’s roots.
Touche, but fair enough. I’d assumed such a minor point would get decent reception since it doesn’t directly challenge their worldview, but yeah that’s my fault.
Sorry if I came across as a bit cranky… but I do feel it’s high time leftists stop handling liberal brain rot sufferers with kid gloves.
Everybody wants to punch Nazis - nobody wants to deal with the liberal oligarchies that inevitably enables fascists as soon as they get forced an inch to the left.
We are going to have to start somewhere.
I just enjoy reminding them that neoliberalism is a right wing ideology. They are not “blue” and never were. Baby you’re closer to maga than to me.
Neoliberalism is a right-wing ideology because it’s parent ideology, liberalism, is a right-wing ideology.
In fact, if you have to explain neoliberalism to the average working-class person, a pretty simple way of going about it is to simply state that neoliberalism is merely liberalism with all the pretensions stripped away.
