    That is literally what liberalism is. The right to self determination, as opposed to the continued power structure of the monarchy.

    Now anti-capitalism…that there seems like some wishful idealism.

      Wishful Idealism is when you realize the system that is killing every human being on earth needs to be replaced

      That’s what it advertizes, sure. But that’s not how it actually functions in practice. Just look around with open eyes please.

        Looking around, I don’t see any kings.

        Exactly what it says on the box, perfect. No notes.

          Glad you’re happy to be ruled by genocidal pedophiles. Truly the heights of liberty.

            It is preferable to genocidal pedophiles that also send you to the gulag for speaking, yes.

                I’m sorry I forgot you’re probably not allowed to say anything bad about Dear Leader from behind the firewall.

                    Nah, I don’t use slurs.

                    Plus, this isn’t an .ml instance, there isn’t as much censorship as you’re used to.

              Drone strikes, ICE raids, the largest prison population on the planet, all this leaves you completely unbothered. Got mine, fuck everyone else, right? The true essence of liberalism indeed.

                Yeah, pretty much. If I preferred that plus the gulag, I would have stayed in the USSR post collapse.

                  You lived in the USSR, and you are this miseducated? That seems highly unlikely. Liberalism is a helluva drug tho.

                    I did. The apartment was nice. The most other things were not. The US is much nicer by comparison.
