Funny, those guys don't usually agree on that much

Do any of them know what the word "liberal" actually means?

Damn, guess the Indigenous peoples were so thoroughly eliminated you forgot about them.

Yeah it was more genocidal than colonial

It was literally founded on settler-colonialism. Just because this resulted in such a profound and extensive destruction of countless peoples that are nearly wiped out today doesn't make it less colonial.

That's not colonialism. It didn't involve any colonies.

There were many colonies, lol. There was also Settler-Colonialism. Read about US history some time.

Yeah, and of the actual colonies America had, they were a tiny size/number compared to European ones. All of India, most of China, all of South America lol

I never said European countries were not colonizers, all I stated was that the US is a genocidal settler-colonial state and you can only do whataboutisms.

I said,

Not really on a scale comparable to Europe, no.

And I'm the one who said the US was genocidal, not you. Don't steal my woke-points, win your own fair and square.

You don't get woke points, you're a conservative, lol.

I'm a progressive, not that the distinction matters to you. You see everyone right of Lenin as a conservative.

Nah, you're directly concerned with attacking leftists and redefining words. Any anti-leftist can be considered a reactionary, but that word might not make sense to you.

Being anti-leftist =/= being reactionary

I understand we define them differently, but do you fundamentally disagree with the spectrum of "Leftist (revolutionary) -- Progressive -- Conservative -- Reactionary" ?

Yes, I fundamentally disagree with that.

Rejecting Socialism and the progression towards Worker Ownership is Reactionary behavior. You identify as a progressive, but you oppose all Socialism, and support Liberal Capitalism with robust social safety nets (unless you've pivoted).

You are therefore a reactionary.
