    I feel in America that anyone labeling another “liberals” is telegraphing a lot of incoming bullshit and won’t be worth the time after that.

      It’s unfortunate that the term liberal has so thoroughly deviated from its original meaning due to right wingers who forget they are also liberals. I hate using it as a leftist because people assume I’m an American conservative which is unfortunate because liberal is a very useful term for classifying western capitalist ideolouges.

      I personally blame SJWS FAILS AND CRINGE COMPILATION #6 published on August 4th 2016 by SJWCentral on YouTube specifically for this phenomenon. /s

      do not actually go watch this they don’t deserve views it doesn’t pertain to anything I said it’s just a joke
