What do they imagine our authoritarianism looks like? How many people do they think we would put to death?

behave like authoritarians

Democracy is about theatrical performative helplessness in the face of human suffering. The more performative helplessness in the face of human suffering, the more democratic.

I prefer when Representatives elected for gerrymandered districts and Senators (who are explicitly there to counter democracy) prevent the President from doing things that are overwhelmingly popular because the Founders distrusted “the masses”. That is True Democracy.

I don’t think you can really word it any simpler and shorter than that. That really is just the most base description of the democracy liberals want.

“It’s authoritarian to reduce child poverty without considering the feelings of rich people”

Perfect distillation of liberalism, simply don’t believe in anything

Just continuously define yourself by an imagined loyalty to a capitalist state that doesn’t even know you exist, while you defend the right of monsters to immiserate your fellow citizens and their children

Definition of moral cowards

Authoritarianism is a meaningless term and anyone who uses it immediately outs themselves as politically unserious and at best academically infantile.

Government takes your home to redistribute to the people while ensuring you still have a place to stay: Horrible Authoritarianism

Bank takes your home to redistribute to rich land developers leaving you homeless: Liberal Democracy

I mean their political goal is to destroy the entire system

Oh yeah, just for the fun of it. We just hate everything. What does “destroying the entire system” mean to this person? Because it sounds a lot like the good ol’ “Judeo-Bolshevik Asiatic hordes coming to destroy our superior Western culture” talking point.

And what’s this talk about us being in bad faith? If libs that came here weren’t the most obnoxious terminally online Redditbrained smuglords that refuse to read anything longer than 2 paragraphs of text then people wouldn’t be taking the piss on them as much.

“bad faith” just means “anything I don’t agree with”. It’s a thought terminating cliche so they can keep smelling each other’s farts and congratulating themselves for having the only good opinions™

Yup saying the democrats aren’t virtuous benevolent geniuses is bad faith to these people.

Bad faith would be like “we should enact these specific policies (secret evil policies that will wreak havoc on the institutions) to make America better uwuu”

No I’m telling you to abolish that shit, firebomb your local PD for more Genshin Impact pulls, drain everything in your landlord into their pool
