    Why are you trying mansplain something I know you haven’t learned about?

    “There actually is a pure, idealized form of liberalism and any failure to uphold those values is a result of human moral impurity and not the incompatibility between these values, the system that facilitates them, and the material world,” is actually a great example of how liberals are so incapable of grappling with themselves. What a strange coincidence that the (unintentionally honest) description of liberalism you’ve provided here requires an immaterial world to exist in the same way that the imperative of infinite growth within capitalism depends on an immaterial world to exist. Coincidental, I’m sure, though I’d bet my livelihood that you have an extensive reading list to explain that strange coincidence.

    Eurotrash still trying to colonize by talking like they have a direct telepathic link with God or something, fuck’s sake with you people.

      Hey, I looked it up in a few large dictionaries and Wikipedia to confirm the meaning, I can’t help being able to read. If that women says that she is liberal, then she probably means what is understood by that word by mainstream society, not whatever nonsense your authoritarian cult has come up with for it.

        What woman? Did you mean to switch to an alt…? Authoritarianism is when you criticize settler colonialism and capitalism. Damn, I wonder if there’s any reason to not take the term “mainstream society” for granted in a system that requires inequality and violence to exist. Not a big Fanon fan, eh?

          The reference to a woman was me misremembering the op, I don’t use alts, not everyone acts like tankies.

          About why the authoritarian label applies to you: You oppose liberalism, which makes you illiberal, which makes you authoritarian.

            Damn, pretty sure I read the same shit in a Spanish missionary journal from the eighteenth century, but like, about how non-Christians are evil and also more informed on the topic he was writing about. I wonder if there’s a connection between European imperialism and how you think as a European. The rubber must flow, eh?

            Seriously though, done with this encounter and won’t be reading any other colonizer nonsense from you. It’s always unproductive to let Euros talk.
