Engage a liberal on Marxism and witness pure ideological autocomplete when they start flawlessly regurgitating anti-communist talking points with zero cognitive friction. No material analysis, no historical engagement, just the frictionless recall of a language model trained on Cold War tropes.

My father got an inkling of a whiff that I might vaguely be a leftist. I’ve never discussed politics with him but I referred to the global south as over exploited once and complained about labor rights another time. This was enough for him to make absolutely certain that I knew the soviet union was actually the worst thing ever and responsible for 100s of millions of deaths atleast. I hate it here
You know something interesting about all of this libs? When shit finally hits them as well, all of that anti-communist talking points start being slowly discarded along with the arrogance and exceptionalism which is licenced by the propaganda.
That’s what I have seen with the Latinos for Trump for example that have actively spit and shit on latin american people(and even their nationals). Now, when fascist gov’t of the US starts targeting them, you no longer see all of those parrots like before.
I wonder when will this happen to the rest of the western libs(even ultras) that actively champion imperialism.
For sure, the arrogance stems from the fact that they haven’t been personally affected in any way, and nobody in their immediate circle has either. In a sense, they inhabit an alternate reality where none of the problems the majority of the population experiences exist. As soon as there’s a material impact on their own life style, it becomes impossible to ignore that.
