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.
We live in a neoliberal world. They currently have what they see as a good reason to be smug, their ideas are reflected back at them by the most powerful members of society. So those ideas can build and hold political power.
They just don’t fully recognise that they can’t build and hold it that way.
Edit: by “they”, of course, I mean workers with liberal politics. Liberal politicians and elites actually do have good reason to be smug, the world economy and political system currently serves their interests.
bunch of adults with teachers pet syndrome
Haha, that too no doubt!
