"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

No idea who this is, but I'd say most people have a mostly incoherent worldview. Your average reactionary or lib probably doesn't think about politics on anywhere close to the level of MLs or even the average hexbear user.

liberal psychology is honestly the most fascinating thing ever. it is so comedic and also as we all know deeply deplorable but yeah, there are so many patented real liberal beliefs that if you are not deeply entrenched in that coping culture are just plainly hilarious to anyone outside of it (and also again deplorable.)

fave lib thoughts:

  • tRump is a russian puppet controlled by PUTIN! (throw in some homophobic insinuations that the reason evil Drumpf is despicable is because he is secretly engaging in homosexual liaisons with PUTIN, evil RUSSIAN that he is)
  • literally any cope about voting being the end all be all, i saw some funny shit on tumblr back in the day about intl. people outside usamerica being very concerned about which imperialist is in power, as kamala was running on "I will be just like Donald J. Trump on immigration" (why did she even do that it's not like she was gonna absorb any of his voterbase that was voting on that issue) and "I will continue our aid to wonderful splendid Israel" and "BRAT by Charli XCX kinda rhymes with the name NATO, if you really think about it"
  • it's GOOD to have democracy that is totally ineffectual, rather than evil Chinese Gommunism, because i feel personally seen when government official Danny Jones sends me an automated email in reply
  • it's EVIL to abide by the literal idealist moral standards we have built our whole ideology on by withholding your vote for Blue Candidate to express yourself in liberal democracy elections, we're pragmatists here, EXCEPT if you advocate for violent resistance, in which case it either has never worked OR you're an evil TotallyTarian Stalinist-Hitlerist who should be (in a non-authoritarian way) executed immediately
  • there's a genocide in Teebet (Xizang) and Xinjiang, proven by the way no information can escape China ever, and China Has Never Ever Contacted the outside world, and nobody in it is even real, you know, it's all made up for the cameras, the white observer, the American, the Yankee, the only person in the world who is real
  • North Korean Myth Number 413901: Kim Jong Un personally shot and killed anyone who thought about eating
  • the United States of America are good actors on the international stage, and have brought a net positive impact onto the world (this is the crux of their ideology, and any and all cope can be mangled together to create passable reasoning for this.

all of this is so flimsy and apart from how much i fucking loathe idealism as wool over the eyes to the nature of this neoliberal nightmare we inhabit, i genuinely cannot express enough how it is hilarious how liberals do not realize that a lot of their ideology is predicated on the idea that other humans do not have the same internality as them, the same social darwinism/backwards racial ideology that was typical of the expressly colonial slaveowning era--ask one liberal how all of DPRK can simply bend over and take it while starving without actual reason to admire or want to retain the WPK, while the DPRK also struggles with infrastructure to feed itself much less totally 1894 surveil or clamp down on the state, and they can create you a fantasy story out of nowhere to justify this conclusion--social democracy being the moderate wing of fascism is a hilarious left field radical idea to them, but just observe the way they think culturally, even outside of their ideal economic model, and you'll realize these people genuinely fail to believe the Asiatic hordes of the Chinese and Koreans have sapience, or that two groups can in fact engage in fair exchange that doesn't include genocide as Western powers are wont to do (chinese debt-trap diplomacy myth), or even be a multiethnic society without braying for complete extermination of others (uyghurs in xinjiang and xizang)
