Maybe we're reading things differently, but I thought their sign implied that fairly strongly, just that they wanted to tack "Trump is a criminal" onto that without drastically increasing the wording.
Maybe that's what they intended but I've noticed a trend of liberals immediately triangulating themselves into this "least-controversial" legalistic take because they don't want to talk about Maduro. A stalinist waving a PSUV flag is more helpful at that point.
I'm not accusing you in particular of this or OP for that matter.
Quit calling people you don’t know liberals. That’s a trend that needs to stop, comrade. Most of the people you say that shit to are on our side, they just don’t put the terms and thoughts together.
Also, go complain to the protestors, or better yet, be at the protests.
If you want real change, quit nitpicking people on lemmy.
Isn’t everyone on this site a liberal though? I don’t think I’ve seen a single conservative on here.
This is part of the reason I told him to stop.
I’ll let you Google the definitions of things like liberal, neo-liberal, conservatism, etc. to boil it it down, they are mostly considered "right" ideologies based on capitalism and aren’t that far apart in a global context.
In American lexicon, yes liberal is left and conservative is right.
Edit: there are conservatives here. Not a lot but they have their own spaces.
Most people on most instances here I've encountered appear to be leftist more than liberal.
Aren’t those the same thing? Liberals are to the left.
While both may be to the left of the political spectrum, liberals want to see the continuation of capitalism or at least are comfortable existing within it. Leftists generally veer towards a fundamental shift away from and the deconstruction of current systems of capital.
Caveat emptor and all that since these are huge generalizations.
Yup, it's divide and conquer technique.... Same with boomers... lumping everyone over 45 into the boomer category, divide this again.
They've done it with race, they've done it with politics, they've done it with age and sexual orientation.
Now they're working on male vs female.. Toxic, masculinity trad wife.
