      Why are you pretending like that’s what they said? One concept is a progression of the same idea but taken beyond the other one - you’re just claiming it’s not because you want to be divisive and pretend like you’re holding the morally correct position to trigger people.

      It’s transparent and like… nobody seems to be taking the bait, so why are you even still trying?

            What movement? Pretending like you want real change and acting like you give a shit while mocking people that you disagree with online?

              I mean sure you can disagree with whatever you think the values are, but are you really trying to present it like liberalism isn’t a social movement? Why would the whole divisive OP meme even exist if that weren’t at least widely perceived to be the case?

                Liberalism presently isn’t a serious movement… sorry to break this to you. The current presentation of liberalism is a hollow shell of the actual ideology - it’s branding.

                  So it is a social movement, just not one you agree with. Why? What ideology is it even supposed to be a hollow shell of?

                    just not one you agree with. Why?

                    No, you misunderstand. I agree with the vast majority of liberal principles, people are just masquerading with its labelling to gatekeep progress.

                    I’m more liberal than the most notable liberals. Why? Because the term has been co-opted.
