    Liberalism is an ideology that can be debated and has merits, these are just cultists. I don’t think so little of liberals that I think they’re all like this.

    This is just the politics subreddit isn’t it?

      Yes and no. Lemmy.world specifically curates this form of liberalism, they have an anti-Marxist stance and as such left-punchers flocked to Lemmy.world. Non-left-punchers generally leave Lemmy.world.

      This is just the politics subreddit isn’t it?

      In my experience, no, not really. Some smaller, niche communities are good, but overall Lemmy.world has curated its own userbase.

        Thanks for giving me the lay of the land. I can’t imagine being so fanatically, what amounts to, centrist…

          No problem! I recommend checking out other instances and scrolling by local feeds, to find one you like the vibe of. Lemmy.world blocks a few instances you could be interested in, or might not be, but scrolling by local anonymously is a good tip I’ve found.

                  Naaaah… it’s just mindless Marxist bullshit. We dismissed that nonsense decades ago, and are ready to do the same again.

                    Yep that’s Lemmy liberals for you, you think you’re entitled to leftist support but not if it means any compromise on your side.

                    You’re just as much of a problem as the conservative.

        and yes many liberals are insufferable, but I stand by my original statement even when such examples love to make themselves known.

          You’ll forgive me if I don’t take someone who subscribes to an untested and provenly ineffective political system seriously I hope.

          Every few years this shit rehashes as if we’ve forgotten how fucking embarrassing it was the last time.

          You want to replace our socioeconomic and political system with something better? Be my guest-

          But offer something better. Marxism is utter garbage.

                Mastengwe circa Napoleonic France:

                Democracy has never worked why do people still talk about voting being a superior system to monarchy? Every democracy has become a monarchy. No democracy that’s ever been tried hasn’t turned into monarchy!
