    It’s not fair to call them bootlickers.

    They are people who may be persuaded to apply a lingual polish to certain footwear if the poll numbers say it might help them lose by less than 5%.

    To be a bootlicker would require decisiveness that liberals do not have. Otherwise they wouldn’t be liberals.

    I only see people cosplaying as anarchists. I never see any of them actually doing shit. Keyboard warriors.

      Anarchists have been an inherently disorganized lot for a long time. It’s one reasons why I tend to hang out with socialists. If you’re helping the workers and/or pushing mutual aid and NOT advocating for a vanguard party, then that’s doing a lot more than many anarchist clubs.

      Keyboard warriors might be an improvement, historically speaking.

        I reckon it is because anarchism is a really alien idea that would get eyebrows raised if promoted out loud in public. Not least because people are accustomed to the status quo (or that anarchism as an ideology gets a bad rep), but different cultures value different things. Go to Asia and one would observe how obsessed they are with flaunting status symbol and one-upping each other. This is contrary to anarchist belief in egalitarianism and communalism.

      And what do liberals registered as dems do? Hold up signs at scheduled and permitted protests? Lmao that is useless as we’ve seen so far
