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

    I ‘am’ an anarcho-communist and I don’t like libtards. Libtards to me are ‘progressive capitalists’ that have no systemic insight what so ever and think all it takes to bring upon heaven on earth is to try and be nice.

    I mean, you should try and be nice obviously but you are not going to soy latte your way outta this my dudes.

      Friend I’m not a friend of liberals myself but can we please not use ableistic terms that end with “-tard”?

      Reserve that shit for the right wing

        Ok, even though I know this will make no difference to ‘you people’ (sorry just cannot help myself xD).

        In this case I choose to use this specific word because it’s so obviously a dogwhistle for right wing extremists that in the context of this meme I think it’s funny, since my actual stance is neither authoritarian or rightwing.

        I don’t seriously mean to perpetuate negative stereotypes with regards to people with mental handicaps.

        Just as a curiosity, are you by any chance from the US? I just cannot imagine anyone from Europe making such a big deal about a joke like this, let alone use the term ableist.

        I guess my brain has just rotted as a result of a few decades of being on the internet. Inside i’m still an edgy teen apparently. No actual offense meant :)
