How do you deal with socializing with liberals? (hexbear.net)

I want to start this post with the caveat that I have a wonderful partner and good leftist support system in general. And I'm also lucky that I don't have to deal with many chuds.

But, outside my own bubble or when meeting acquaintances and friends of friends in general it's shocking how quickly liberals manage to show their ass in conversation and it makes me just not want to engage with them. I don't want to not socialize with people who I meet, but it's incredibly frustrating when these fucking shitstains revert to North Korea jokes in 2025. We're melting the planet and live streaming a genocide, but it doesn't make you the life of the party reminding people of that.

Any tips for dealing with these smug liberals without embarrassing yourself?

Liberals just trust "institutions" and anything that has existed long enough to have "prestige" that grants it credibility. Credibility is acquired through how many other liberal institutions grant it credibility. This allows them to outsource all political thinking to "experts" from these extremely trustable sources that all gained their own "prestige" and "credibility" through exactly the same thing.

It's an Ouroboros and one of the first things that has to be broken to pull a liberal out of it. The minds of liberals are colonised, there is no cognitive sovereignty in their heads because they give away that sovereignty to others in all of these institutions.
