“I can’t refute your argument so I’ll just call you uneducated, instead.”

I’m not a liberal, by the way.

I'm not a liberal, the liberal says. This is the 11th type of liberalism.

Again, not a liberal. Opposing imperialism from China doesn’t make one a liberal. This is like an example of what a school kid would write as an example of affirming the consequent. Pretty funny stuff!

Yeah, I wanted to be on a relatively small, relatively politically neutral instance with a lot of normal people, where I could express myself freely, argue for balance and nuance in an increasingly polarised world, and build working class solidarity where it actually needs to be built, rather than confining myself to an echo chamber.
