There’s nothing cringier than right-wingers who pretend they aren’t right-wingers… ie, liberals. For people who can be called leftist with a straight face, “liberal” is quite the insult.
You lump us with fascists. “Scratch a liberal a fascist bleeds” has to be one of the most ridiculous things ever said. We’re not your enemies! Democratic socialists are in the Democrat party in America. Social Liberals and Social Democrats have much more in common than Social Liberals and Conservatives. In Europe Liberals and moderate socialists form parliamentary coalitions
“Scratch a liberal a fascist bleeds” has to be one of the most ridiculous things ever said.
It’s not ridiculous, it’s simply historically true. Go ask any European and they’ll explain to you how Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco got to power.
They’ll also tell you how in all their respective countries, the liberals are currently normalizing the far right in their media to counter the rise of leftist movements.
Edit: oh and also, every liberal government is currently supporting the Palestinian genocide, so that should be a pretty big clue too.

Really? Liberals are invested in the maintenance of the status quo, but aren’t willing to do the dirty and bloody work that the maintanance of the status quo requires… fascists are. It’s a match made in the deepest pits of hell. There’s nothing new about this - the liberal Weimar regime climbed into bed with fascism right from the get-go to crush working class revolt. It’s the same reason the liberals USians vote into the Waffle House are more interested in “reaching across the aisle” than actually doing anything to prevent white supremacist terrorism.
Who else will protect the capitalist world order for you, liberal? You? Who did you think maintains the murderous exploitation in the 3rd world that makes your glorious 1st world existence possible? It’s fascists, genius… your precious world order cannot be maintained without them.
If a fascist regime rises, it’s only because a liberal regime came before it that loosened the ground for it to grow.
