That’s not a common interpretation of those words in that order, which would be fantastic if there were a competition for most unique and obtuse construing of sentences; however whether or not such a contest exists, this isn’t a part of it.
Most people don’t live in the 1950s, given its now the 2020s. I get your society hasn’t advanced in that time, China has.
Oops, opium wars backfired a bit didn’t it?
If you think nonviolence is core to the left wing, you need to go ahead and find a nice subreddit to join. Liberals aren’t left wing.
Hey, this propaganda is now 3 months out of date.
What’s the new Boogeyman to excuse selling your country out to billionaires that consistently take away your rights?
In a world United against the US, there’s no war the US can wage effectively. There’s only so much power you can project from aircraft carriers, and nukes are essentially off the table.
BRICS was also designed for exactly this scenario; a rogue US finally showing its whole ass to the world. They’ll survive regardless of what the US tries, whether it’s sanctions, tariffs or invasions.
If liberals ever critically analyzed reality they’d be marxists.
…what does the state have to do with it? Fundamentalist Christians in the US burned books without state power. Nazis regularly encourage book burning and they haven’t had state power in a few decades.
This Nazi, for instance, did not have state power behind him. Just a group of sycophants encouraging his antics.
If you’re on the side of a book burning Nazi nut job, you’re the bad guy.
The students that stole police weapons and started shooting?
Are black Americans oppressed in the US by being put in prison? Is it because they’re black or because they’re poor and thus more likely to need to do crime in order to survive?
If there were a solution that brought the entirety of black Americans out of poverty by locking up the most dangerous 10% of them after a jury trial and conviction until they were rehabilitated, while massively investing in majority black areas to ensure poverty is no longer a thing in those areas, would you do it?
This isn’t whataboubtism, before you fail to report me for that.
Also Hong Kong was colonized until it was returned to China, it was never independent. I’m sorry white people lost their tax haven.
Yes, it’s so much better when one group of bigots burn books than a larger group of bigots burn more books.
I guess this is the lesser evil you guys keep voting for, just a little book burning and hate speech, as a compromise.
Just a pro tip, if you are ever on the side of people burning books, you’re in the wrong.
And you call me propagandized… No, people in jail aren’t disappeared because they lost their right to talk to the press. No, there is not a global network of secret police arresting Chinese people. No, China is not alone in blocking travel to their country for hate speech or other bigotry.
If you believe these things, and you seriously see no problem with them, you aren’t able to speak on politics. It’d be like discussing consent with a Mormon or physics with a flat earther… I mean seriously, a global network of secret police stations in other countries? Complete control of the speech of 1,400,000,000 humans?
This is as ridiculous as the ‘Jewish new world order’ stuff a lot of you people believe
So how long have you sided with the Nazis and fundamentalist Christians?
Because now you’re excusing their book burning.
Climate change + no future prospects under capitalism + lack of support structure due to overworked parents + crushing poverty in many cases. Japan has a lot of homeless and near homeless children.
That’s fine, liberalism will be overthrown like it’s sister ideology feudalism before it.
Liberals are not left wing, the left starts at the abolition of capitalism. Without that they cannot back up any concept of equality or equity.
Biden’s nor Harris are left wing. Clinton certainly isn’t.

Short term pain for long term freedom is needed. If people had your point of view during the American civil war, you’d be the Confederate states of the US.
Every day people are the ones enabling and holding up fascism, not the uniforms, not the leadership, just people like you and your loved ones. Without you fascists have no power. Pressuring those around you, sabotaging their work if it’s helpful to the fascists, socially isolating those that refuse to help are the effective steps to take. If you don’t take them, you’re as bad as any fash with a gun or suit.
It’s less “we will never get rich”, which is objectively incorrect given China is part of BRICS and was rich long before brics was created, and more, “why the fuck is less than 8% of the world entitled to the wealth of over 60%?”
