    It was so good and so uncanny. We have so much but we just can’t respect each other.

      Nah, more like they can’t respect us. I can’t think of a single leftist thing that exists solely to spite the right. They’re fighting to divide and we’re fighting to survive.

        The movie was the most milquetoast “both sides bad” propaganda you could make, to such an extent that I’m shocked people are unironically watching this and thinking it’s some deep commentary.

        Yeah it’d be crazy if both sides were equally committing heinous crimes.

        Except in real life it’s only ever one side screaming about children while filling them with holes and bullying them to death. It’s always one side committing stochastic terrorism, actual terrorism, and attempting to overthrow a democratic government.

        It’s always one side that spreads racist, xenophobic, classist garbage. The same side that dismantles education systems, social structures, and economic models that are proven to improve society while saving money.

        And for the cherry on top, it’s always the side that liberals align themselves with when the chips are on the table.

            I think they mean liberal in the global sense, the markets based liberalism, not “the American left” so much as “conservative Democrats that call themselves moderates.”

            When the time comes to make a decision they choose money over morality.

                neoliberalism is just a new spin on Liberalism, since by the time thatcher and Regan came to power a lot of people didn’t like vanilla Liberalism anymore

                From what I gather liberalism is more about market economics and keeping government out of interfering them, where neoliberalism is more about using government power in favor of markets and removing their involvement in social programs.

                One is more hands off “invisible hand” stuff, the other is more “hands off for the people, but money money money for business.”
