    edit: forgot to answer your question: no, I don’t remember getting mad or upset. The only angry person in this thread is you, and I think most people are confused by your unprovoked aggression.

    I hope everything is ok, bud. It seems like you’re having a real tough time. I truly mean that. Your worldview seems to be causing you great distress and I can’t imagine how exhausting that must be.

    I don’t get “upset” by ignorant strangers on the internet. If anything, I just feel sorry for you.

    Growing up in an extremely conservative, Evangelical, Fox News household, so I know the exact intentions of ending that sentence with “liberal.” Like it’s a curse word, and like anyone outside your sad little bubble is going to care (plus, as we’ve established, you don’t even know what the word means).

    Spoiler: they don’t.

    In fact, given your tenuous grasp of these terms, and what you think “liberal” means… Your attempted insult becomes more of a compliment. So thanks!

    It’s like those people who try to use some variant of “hurr durr you live in your mom’s basement” on grown-ass adults who have lived alone for at least a decade… It just doesn’t work lol.

    It’s also a pretty big self-report. You don’t need a poly-sci degree to learn this stuff.

      no, I don’t remember getting mad or upset.

      This you?

      Calling a progressive a liberal is an insult.

      I could swear that was you.

      I hope everything is ok, bud.

      Your concern trolling is touching.

      plus, as we’ve established, you don’t even know what the word means

      Really? I’m the one that doesn’t know what the term liberalism means? I’m the one that doesn’t understand how liberal ideology has been foisted on the world ever since it’s inception in the (so-called) “Enlightenment”? I’m the one pretending that calling yourself “conservative” (somehow) makes you *non-*liberal?

      Newsflash, genius - it’s all liberalism. You exist inside a liberal world order - concepts such as fascism and capitalism are features of it.

      Your attempted insult becomes more of a compliment. So thanks!

      Colonialism and capitalism flatters you? Yeah… that tracks.

      You don’t need a poly-sci degree to learn this stuff.

      So you have no excuse not to start, eh?

        Yeah, pointing out something can be insulting does not mean I’m insulted, or angry or upset or… Like I know you’re trying real hard to get that reaction from me, but like I said before I honestly just feel bad for you.

        It’s not only sad, but very very weird. Why don’t you step back for a moment and see how this comment exchange began… What kind of depressing life leads a person to behave the way that you did (and still do).

        You are clearly very angry, and it’s sad to see that anger so misdirected… Like you don’t even have a grasp on the absolute basics of political classifications, yet you’re so damned mad at some boogeymen you invented to fit into these fabricated classifications.

        I hope you get some help, not only with the misguided anger, but also with your inability to define or understand basic political terms. Especially if you’re going to be so outspokenly vitriolic towards strangers about them.

        It’s a really bad look.

        Edit:

        I expect nothing more than the same shit, so don’t expect me to reply (or honestly, even read) your response to this.

        I hope you can get some help, and maybe part of that will be realizing when you’re wrong and learning not to double down on stupid.

          Yeah, pointing out something can be insulting does not mean I’m insulted,

          Your fellow libs seem to disagree - in fact, they seem quite perturbed every time I point out that their precious “liberal democracy” is about as democratic as “social darwinism” is Darwinist.

          some boogeymen you invented to fit into these fabricated classifications.

          If I’m wrong you have nothing to worry about, do you? The Wall Street shills will save you from the fascists and you can go back to sleep knowing that the fascists will be sicced onto the “correct” people - ie, not you.

          Yet… you and your fellow libs don’t seem very confident that this is the case.

          so don’t expect me to reply (or honestly, even read) your response to this

          Run away any time you feel like it, lib.
