What is some of the dumbest shit you've ever heard liberals say?
I'll go first: "Workers doesn't want to have the trouble of controlling the means of production. They have owners and managers for that."
“International relations are never black and white” and they always say this when you bring up something like Vietnam that literally was black and white
World War 1 was black vs black, right? The best things to happen from it was the weakening of the Russian empire so the soviets could take power
"I think capitalism has made the world better, but ..." (name any common capitalistic-caused problem after "but")
No. It hasn't.
Any conversation that starts like this is a dishonest one, usually espoused by a PMC-type who hates the symptoms of capitalism but refuses to question the system from which these problems originate. The lack of self awareness on this issue bugs the fuck out of me.
thanks, that makes a lot more sense than private military contractor
finally a woman can be a princess. another glass ceiling broken.
Hahahaha what?
My own hot take on the Megan situation is that I like it because it's the simplest thing to point to whenever other Europeans try to claim racism isn't a thing in Europe. That at mooost we have understandable xenophobia towards new people. She's a rich, beautiful woman from an English speaking country, and people and the press still couldn't stop smearing her.
That sounds like something my libfem housemate would say, fuck me dead.
marry into the royal family was somehow a win for feminism
she's gonna stop the pedophiles from the inside
Something to the effect of "poor people aren't actually poor because they are materially better off than kings from hundreds/ thousands of years ago." It was an interaction on reddit with some absolute caricature of a neoliberal ghoul, and it was essentially confirmation to me that neolibs were exactly the out-of-touch, thoughtless fucking dingbats I had so-often perceived them to be.
Of course, because material conditions just mean how much technology exists

Communism looks good on paper, but it would never work in theory.

Instead of declaring violence against these far right radicals, you should debate them and defeat their ideas with outsmarting them. Violence solves nothing!
-
Rioting is not protesting! Those people need to be jailed for destroying property! Think about the small business owners who have to deal with that!
-
You have no idea how bad cops have it. They are working class too and have to deal with so many thugs and criminals, their jobs are tougher than yours.

Why should I care about people in red states? You all vote Republican anyway, otherwise it wouldn't be a red state.
General stanning for Small Businesses really pisses me off about libs. For every one that treats its employees well there are 10 that treat them as terrible as can be so the owner can live out their fantasies of being rich, with every conceivable corner being cut.

Oh, actually: I recall during the last round of major Venezuela saber-rattling, when another shitlib on reddit said some shit like "Oh there's no way Guaido is a US plant, that's absolute bullshit, but actually MADURO IS A CUBAN PLANT!" and this fucking worm was just so convinced.
"You don't have to be shy about being left-wing here, I voted for Obama."
While yes, I agree that we were lied to by our government with Iraq and intervention turned out to be a complete humanitarian disaster, I'm completely sure that we are right here and we must intervene in (insert country here) to stop (insert made up human rights abuses here.)
I remember during the Iraq War, yes we invaded under false pretenses, but it's totally justified because Saddam was a bad guy and needed to be stopped.
I've genuinely had the same conversation with my dad a few months ago, and it was fucking horrible. The guy still curses the name of our prime minister for getting us into the war, so I thought he would be easier to speak to about it, and instead I got "We all know Saddam was in bed with Al Qaeda" ad nauseum
And in a similar vein: "No, I did not support the Iraq War at the time. And if I did, it was justified because of (blah blah blah). But I definitely knew it was wrong all along."
"Landlords are needed because of maintenance, property taxes, expensives, etc."
Spongebob flashcard: two seconds later.
"I want to get a rental property for some passive income."
"Oh, you don't wanna live there. It's immigration station/It's a bad area!/Let's just say you'd be a... minority there (me being white as snow)."
The aftershocks of boomers creating segregated cities hits even in Canada, to the point where nominally liberal people are absolutely freaked the fuck out at the idea of a neighbourhood being slightly less than the Platonic ideal of one. Oh no, that place has a lot of immigrants! It's must be a Bad Place ™️ , as if the mere presence of other cultures or people that don't make triple the average wage somehow makes a neighbourhood this unsafe warzone.
Wait why did it remove what I wrote
Edit: it won't let me write what she said but it rhymes with ding dong
Oh.
She was saying she hated her landlord , which I understand, and then told me that's why she calls him that slur.
I told her that's racist and she said it isn't because "I don't mean it in a racist way."
She would not accept that if you use a racial slur you're being racist even if you "don't mean it"
I told her that’s racist and she said it isn’t because “I don’t mean it in a racist way.”
"I consider their racial identity to be enough of a bad thing to use a slur for it as an insult, but i'm definitely not racist!"
Jesus tapdancing christ
She was so serious too. And I went to a pretty racist high school so most of the white kids agreed with her
[Biden has a 15 second dementia attack] "Umm sweatie, he has a stutter, and if you criticize him for it you are ableist scum"
I hate this so much. It’s such a bad faith bastardization of a good fucking point. He studders yes, and we shouldn’t mock him, but he also has cognitive impairment and while we should probably not make fun of someone going through that, both presidential candidates were, and it was hilarious
I hate that stuff so much. The Trump jokes were funny for about a month and then they got old.
Antifa stopping Ben Shapiro from talking at some university was just as bad as what happened in Charlottesville
Ban Shapiro should be invited to talk on panels, and then everyone else on the panel should be 6'4"+ and muscular with either no seats or only stools to sit on.
