    Liberals == moderates, not followers of human rights

    Same people as King described 50 years ago

    I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice

          So basically fuck the US, I guess? I’m not from there, so I have no dog in that race, but for me it sounds like AOC/Sanders/etc would be very good for at least US citizens.

          I have not heard of any true “leftist” politicians in the US.

        This has reinforced my beliefs that half of all political disputes online is word definitions
