Worth noting I encountered these liberal apologists within MONTHS of Biden taking office. The very day it came to light that he was opening even more concentration camps, there were liberal Democrats crawling all over reddit, tumblr, and twitter to explain why this was good ackshually.

Side note: Never listen when they say “now’s not the time to talk about this in an election year.” That’s a red flag that alerts you that you can safely discard anything else they say after that. They were saying that already in 2021.

    One place where as a ‘right wing’ (whatever that means) person opposes my peers and I find most who oppose me on everything else still oppose me. does anyone have any ideals or is it all populism without thought? for that matter are their any christians around who care about the poor?

      Christians caring about the poor are pretty much the only ones following the teachings of Jesus instead of the teachings of the church

      • Catholic Workers
      • Sanctuary Movement
      • Plowshares Movement
      • and, as an aside, Marx was quoting Jesus:

        • And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but all things were common property to them. And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all. For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the apostles’ feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need. —Acts 4:32–35

      I’m not religious, but there are definitely Christians who do help the poor. There are even certain groups of Catholics that offer tangible support to the poor, immigrants, trans people, etc. in spite of the capital-c Church being awful overall.

      Regarding the first part of your comment, I suspect people who engage with this community are here exactly because we do have ideals. Not all of us agree on some specifics (MLists vs. anarchists, anprims vs. ancoms, etc.), but I’d hope we at least agree that things like border fascism, genocide, classism, and queerphobia are unacceptable, full stop.
