    Gets it in one.

    There’s a reason everyone is currently demonizing liberal ideology instead of standing up for the rights that the conservatives are working to strip away.

      Liberal ideology is a regressive conservative ideology.

      It was progressive three centuries ago. It’s not anymore, it’s outlived it’s usefulness.

        Unfortunately tankies throw out the good parts of liberalism along with the bad, and endorse throwing people in gaol for wrongthink.

          There really aren’t any good parts to liberalism. If you’re a liberal and the current year starts with a 2, you’re a monster. Like full on, need to be forcefully reducated kinda monster.

          But to your second point, all nations, societies, and groups need to do that. It’s a fundamental aspect of society. There hasn’t been a society yet that doesn’t.

            Not being arrested for publicly disagreeing with the government is a good thing.

                Yup, America also bad. I suppose you could say the difference is that America pretends to be good, while China is openly totalitarian.

              Depends on the disagreement. If you think the country should burn and it’s people suffer and are advocating for that, you should maybe be arrested.

          Speaking of bad parts of liberalism: it’s wrong to throw Hitler into jail for spreading nazi thought

          Look at what your values actually are
