I see all over Lemmy, people really seem to hate hexbear, and I don’t get it. Can someone explain why most of Lemmy seems to absolutely hate them?

    Wait, you’re saying “liberal”=“pro-israel”? Isn’t that more of a republican/conservative thing?

      Republicans are liberals too, liberal simply means supporter of capitalism.

      Though it’s commonly used in the US to exclusively refer to social democrats, social democracy is just a subset of liberalism.

        liberal simply means a supporter of capitalism

        That’s simply not true. Liberal means being open to other ideas and tolerant of people having other opinions.

          Which just means “tolerating” the capitalist exploitation of workers.

          It’s why liberals always passively “tolerate” the decay of capitalism into fascism as is what happened in Germany and Italy, and seems to be happening in the US.

      Conservatives are liberals too, i.e they support private property and capitalism, even if western conservatives like calling anyone not far-right liberals.

      The liberals that don’t support israel are left-leaning radlibs, and those are clearly not the majority of Reddit users as the last few months have made clear.

        Maybe there happen to be a bunch of pro-israel liberals on Reddit, but I don’t think that means “liberal”=“pro-israel”.

        I guess coming from Canada it’s a different perspective since we have the separate Liberal and Conservative parties skewing the definition, and the Liberals, while certainly being pro-capitalism, also support social justice, and are not exactly pro-israel right now.
