Libjerk regards Bernie Sanders as one of the liberals they so stridently oppose. It’s not exactly limited to mocking libertarians and corporate bootlickers.
While Bernie is indeed merely a social democrat, he’s absolutely not a liberal. That’s libertarians, conservative liberals, and liberal conservatives, and so on. Bernie is an ally, saying that as an anarchocommunist.
Paleoconservatives, neoconservatives, etc… that’s potato potato for me. They’re all reactionary asses and need to be treated the way they treat women, queers, black, and all minorities that just want to live their own life.
Those minorities don’t harm others at all; self-defence I do not count as harm.
While Bernie is indeed merely a democratic socialist, he’s absolutely not a liberal. That’s libertarians, conservative liberals, and liberal conservatives, and so on. Bernie is an ally, saying that as an anarchocommunist.
Yeah, and they’re wrong about it. Those Americans have a political Overton window shifted so far off to the right from what’s normal, that even “normal” Americans think social democracy is liberalism.
You’re looking at it from the wrong angle. This is not an issue of Americans seeing liberals as too far left, but of purity-obsessed leftists seeing anyone who participates in the system to any degree as indistinguishable from each other.
For that there’d need to be a fashjerk, if it existed; though I agree, the US should be in here too!
This is tankiejerk, mocking tankies. There’s libjerk, too, mocking libertarians and corporate bootlickers.

From libjerk itself, note at the bottom-right.

It’s not.

Well, to me, all who wish to abolish capitalism and are for decentralisation and end of dictatorships, are allies.
In these times of need, I think we need to band up. The primary focus is overthrowing capitalism which is inherently fascistic.
