the big difference is liberals support capitalism. that’s one of the biggest sources of tension since liberals preach rights for the lgbtq community and people of color while still supporting the system that profits off their oppression.

OK, I have a simple very quick test for you then: should we have more focus on social justice or more focus on proper governance?

A very leftist take, but is accurate when you strip away the rhetoric.

I’d like both because they compliment each other if done right but I’ll take social justice.

Ok, then I’d say you’re on the fence between leftist and liberal. Just an estimate, not saying that’s who you are.

LGBTQ merch. Flags, pins, and other stuff. Also not to mention the PR for inclusion stuff.

If someone can buy something from someone, it’s capitalism. Something I’m well versed in, even as an economic centrist.

by preventing them from getting rights and spreading propaganda about them being “sinful” and “children of the devil” they can cause a divide within the working class similar to how racism does. by causing one group of people, specifically straight white people, to be intolerant towards others, the super rich can live in comfort knowing the working class will never unite against them for bleeding us dry and exploiting our labor.
