26 - Scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds

How different are the liberals and conservatives of this country? Though liberals may frame themselves as polar opposites to their "bigoted" right-wing counterparts, they ultimately find themselves defending the violence enacted by the Amerikan Empire. Uncritical analysis and blind belief in this country's systems and institutions have literally killed a revolutionary movement calling to end state-sanctioned violence against Black people in less than two years. Cries to abolish the police and invest in community resources have somehow morphed into support and applause for increased police funding. White liberal social media infographic-type activists are now defending and even directing people to send funds to the Azov Battalion, an ultra-right-wing white nationalist Neo-Nazi paramilitary integrated into Ukraine's military. War, imperialism, and white supremacy are the things that this so-called democracy has bipartisanship behind. When the US sounds the drums of war, both liberals and conservatives are in lockstep marching to the same beat.
