So after yesterday’s strike I made the mistake to engage with liberals about said strike and I have come to the conclusion that I might even hate them more than far right people.
With far right people at least you know what they stand for. They hate minorities, they hate socialism and they are outright saying it. It goes against everything I stand for but at least they are honest about it and in a weird way I respect their honesty.
Liberals, though, are just snakes. They act all concerned about everyone’s welfare but at the same time budget cut the ever living shit out of healthcare, education, welfare, public transport, etc. And they now have found a new standard response: ‘but what about defense???’ It’s like they are drones without independent thought and their new update made them all defense experts. And the smugness they portray when making these points is just insufferable to the point I want to punch their teeth out.
End of rant.
I’m often extremely frustrated with liberals, but I can’t really hate them, at least not the regular non-politician types. Trump’s victory has put many liberals in a state of despair and anger and I understand that perfectly well, but their anger is often misdirected. Some are taking the election loss to mean that they need to move further right. The consultants and newspaper opinion writers, etc. do a lot to legitimize this point of view, and it’s a shame. Propaganda works, and we’re not immune to it. I feel I have more to gain by treating these liberals with respect and compassion. (I don’t always succeed, though!)
There are some liberals I can’t stand, mostly politicians and consultants. I definitely hate the openly misanthropic right wing people more, and there are a lot more of them.
