Sometimes, I see Trump suppprters talk about how liberals are also corrupt and genocidal. They talk about how liberals are hypocrites because they’ll support people like Kamala Harris and Barack Obama—both of whom supported violence—yet criticise Donald Trump for it.

They fail to realise that the system is designed to treat politics like a team sport—and that this system must vanish. No one is free from these chains until we’re all free.

Especially on Facebook, I’ll see them criticise liberals for being performative in this way. The thing is, in this one regard, they are right. But they refuse to rise against this system, which, in turn, makes them equally as performative.

Edit: I’m Canadian, but since American politics heavily affect us, it’s relevant to point it out.

    I’m not a liberal at all

    Comment wasn’t aimed at you 😀, it was aimed at the person posting the represent.us link.

    I frankly believe in an anarcho-communist state

    Uhhh are you using the word “state” as in “state of the world”? Because anarcho-communists (like me lol) oppose “the State”, i.e. those organizations that claim monopoly over the legitimate use of violence. 😁

    though the majority of current leftists are former liberals or conservatives.

    Yeah, me too. Liberalism is the monoculture in the West, and it unfortunately takes a lifetime to unlearn. Hence why I’m dunking on represent.us and other colonialist and capitalist powers, and not the person posting it.
