You can not be an anarchist while supporting the hierarchical system of capitalism. Full stop.

Certainly "ban hostile architecture" is oversimplified in that it leaves room for cities to continue forcing unhoused folks to sleep on the streets, but it has a better ring than "ban hostile architecture and provide stable and safe housing to everyone."

I feel like the later part should be assumed by the fact that leftists have been calling for housing the unhoused for many decades. On the other hand hostile architecture is (to my knowledge) a newer phenomenon that needs to be criticized in it's own right.

Did I say that all authoritarians are enabled by liberals? What agenda are you trying to push by misconstruing my words? Like seriously what point are you trying to reach here?

Fuck all imperialist and hierarchical power structures. Fuck colonialism and fuck the police. Fuck fascists and the libs that enable them.

This word has lost all meaning if you're applying it to LibertyHub. The rules (until the new head mod "simplified and clarified" them very recently) explicitly called out Maoist apologia as being against the community guidelines.

Criticizing Biden is not the same as advocating against voting. This position is something that LOC has had to defend himself on many times, and one that many don't seem to grasp. If I'm not mistaken, LOC at one point even said he'd vote for Biden when the time came. I don't think any person should have to broadcast their voting plans explicitly to avoid being the target of controversy, but here we are.

It takes a nuanced position to criticize the current establishment for being (at best) complicit in genocide while still recognizing the very real danger of fascism. Many people just see the memes bashing Biden and assume no nuance behind it.

Aren't AI images banned here? There's no meme to this. Its just stolen art.

Um.. Its not ironic at all? Mozilla has been active and well regarded in privacy oriented spaces for many years.

We love to see bigots on a trans-masc persons social media page affirming that they've never been a woman and are obviously a man for x, y, and z reasons.

It's not a cliffhanger at all. The show would be greatly improved by a third season imo just because the tone of the 2nd season is really intense compared to the first, and while S2 has a fairly satisfying ending - it could really use the catharsis of a final act.

That's such a hot fucking take

Liberals are certainly pro-capitalist, but a modern leftist wouldnt refer to a fascist or conservative as a liberal. The term is pretty much used to describe people who claim to be left leaning while still advocating for incremental (rather than radical) change, such as the modern American democratic party. It is used as a derogatory because liberals generally speaking don't have any intention of dismantling the corporate capitalist oligarchy, or implementing true socialist policies.

Even if some self-identified liberals do desire these changes - to a leftist their methods are seen as ineffectual by design, therefore further contributing to the longevity of the broken capitalist system.
