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?

    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.
