Don’t you feel it’s a bit counterintuitive to call someone tonedeaf for being unaware of “International Day of Solidarity with Long Term Anarchist Prisoners”, something that more than 99.9999% of people are likely unaware of?
Wouldn’t you be better off, say, helping build awareness of such a day instead of simply berating someone for not knowing about it? At the moment, you’re teaching people to treat it like a joke.
Sounds like you’re just blaming people for not being as smart and enlightened as you because you’re so special you knew about an obscure day that almost nobody outside your usual bubble has heard of.
You could have actually brought awareness to that fact, but you decided to be a petulant clown instead. Bravo.
The Black Panthers were notable, back in the 1970s, with their leaders either arrested on phony charges or killed in police raids.
Occupy Wall Street members were routinely subjected to arrest and detention in the wake of the '08 Recession.
Wikileaks was another big one in the early '10s, with its major contributors and journalists all arrested or forced into hiding.
The Black Lives Matter movement had many of its early leaders jailed or killed, before the various social media organizing tags were hijacked by online media personalities.
Liberal is defined as being a supporter of liberalism.
Liberalism is the dominant ideology in much of the world, which believes in Private Property Rights and thus supports the Capitalist Status Quo.
Liberalism was considered “left” during the French Revolution, against the Monarchy, but is now a right wing ideology as opposed to Socialism.
It doesn’t take being a “tankie” to know what Liberalism is, lmao. Definitely not a sockpuppet and certainly not susceptible to misinformation, you just generally are ill-informed and violently upset.
Then, construct your comment in a way that conveys such information without automatically ostracizing them from ever having sympathy for your cause. You’re never going to build curiosity in those unaware of your cause if you begin by chasing them away.

Right… like you didn’t grow up watching the International Day of Solidarity with Long Term Anarchist Prisoners special every year with the rest of us
Western liberals aren’t aware of it because they’ve segregated themselves off from the folks in their community most subject to political prisoners.
But then lots of Western Liberals clap and cheer when an anarchist group gets raided by the police and dragged off to prison.

Which anarchist groups are you referring to, specifically?

I don’t think you understand what an anarchist is
The Black Panther Party was explicitly Marxist-Leninist. There were probably some Anarchist members, but the party line was ML.

Yeah Malcom X was clearly trying to divide the left.

Liberals aren’t on the left, it only seems that way to you because you percieve yourself as left yet support the status quo.

Holy moly, lmao. No, I am not a sockpuppet, nor am I an authoritarian. What in the world scratched you so much?
Also, all Socialism is democratic, do you mean you’re a reformist, or support Scandinavian style Social Democracy?

Just gonna piggyback on that malcom x comment and say “yeah, I’m real sure mlk was trying to divide the left.”
Yeah, maybe. That’s not the main issue I have with the meme, though.
