        Liberal is anti authoritarian

        Anti liberal = anti anti authoritarian = pro authoritarian

            That’s just because they’re dumb enough to think not doing anything with their own authority is enough

            Though Laissez-faire that it derives from felt only landlords should pay taxes because they don’t provide anything to society

          liberal is center right; and liberalism completely fine with authority, maybe less with authoritarianism per se, but that’s what the “inevitably leads to” part is about. an anti-authoritarian but pro-authority stance will inevitably lead to authoritarianism. just like how cops and military keep getting more and more ridiculous funding despite not demonstrating anything of worth that they contribute to society.

                Liberalism exists on both east west

                The more liberal (free) a person is, the less authoritarian they are

                There is no reason for you to be looking east west because it’s shared across that

                    Apparently

                    Just associate Liberal with Freedom, that’s why you can be “liberal with the rules” if it’s not strictly enforced. It’s not a political group rather it’s just an English word that is used in political thought

          No but see action for the sake of action is fascist

          And having interests or a conscience is woke, which is what causes reactionaries to get riled up, so that’s also fascist.

          So taking any action to oppose fascism is the most fascist you can possibly be. That’s why the left are the real fascists!

          So the only real move that isn’t fascist is for us to reach across the aisle and do brutal bipartisan antifascism to the left. Possibly with some sort of camp system. Maybe we could merge good corporate citizens with the state to make it more efficient.
