Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

    That’s not colonialism. It didn’t involve any colonies.

      There were many colonies, lol. There was also Settler-Colonialism. Read about US history some time.

        Yeah, and of the actual colonies America had, they were a tiny size/number compared to European ones. All of India, most of China, all of South America lol

          I never said European countries were not colonizers, all I stated was that the US is a genocidal settler-colonial state and you can only do whataboutisms.

            I said,

            Not really on a scale comparable to Europe, no.

            And I’m the one who said the US was genocidal, not you. Don’t steal my woke-points, win your own fair and square.

                I’m a progressive, not that the distinction matters to you. You see everyone right of Lenin as a conservative.

                  Nah, you’re directly concerned with attacking leftists and redefining words. Any anti-leftist can be considered a reactionary, but that word might not make sense to you.

                    Being anti-leftist =/= being reactionary

                    I understand we define them differently, but do you fundamentally disagree with the spectrum of “Leftist (revolutionary) – Progressive – Conservative – Reactionary” ?
