    How about we just stand with whoever opposes our current authoritarian government and try to get them out of power instead of pulling this “holier than thou” crap.

    Edit: Wild how there are so many comments on this post accusing users of being liberals because they are disagreeing with this devisive messaging.

    Students for a Democratic Society (SDS): SDS was one of the most influential student organizations of the anti-war era, mobilizing large-scale protests and advocating for democratic socialism and direct action against the Vietnam War. Through Operation CHAOS, the CIA infiltrated SDS chapters, gathering intelligence on its membership and strategies. The agency’s informants sometimes instigated aggressive actions or created tensions between factions within the group, contributing to its eventual dissolution. By sowing division and encouraging splintering, the CIA effectively weakened SDS as a unified force, reducing its influence over the national anti-war movement.

      Liberals never act meaningfully to threaten authoritarianism.

      Liberals protect the state. The state protects authoritarianism. When leftists undertake direct action to protect the population against such oppressive systems, liberals pretend that leftists are the greater enemy.

            Ok but who thinks liberals are leftists? It’s openly right wing so idk what people expect.
            Edit:btw this isn’t aimed at you. I just really don’t understand why liberalism is labeled left wing anywhere
