Whenever I try to talk politics (or ESPECIALLY world events) with Liberals, as soon as they determine that I am a leftist, they just get so fucking smug and have this sense of self-superiority about them. Exactly zero interest in having a good faith discussion. They are so incredibly dismissive and condescending.
Of course, no matter how much evidence that you provide, or how well you frame your arguments, you just get eye rolls and dismissed out of hand.
I am reminded of the Bernie campaigns when the liberal media pundits would behave with nothing more than sneering contempt at young people who just wanted fucking health care.
We know that they’re like this BUT WHY? Why are they all such smug shit stains? I stg it’s like their defining trait.
i dont get it
They were presumably talking about the deradicalization campaign China did in Xinjiang that libs spuriously call a “genocide”, but I didn’t ask them to clarify because I didn’t want to subject myself to them bloviating about “China bad”.
Oh yes. Genocide is when China makes you go to school to learn not to be a terrorist. But when Israel kills thousands that’s just an oopsie.
