This summaries the problem with radlib perfectly. We should show it to as many liberals as possible, not that it would actually sway most of them but still, nothing bad can come from confronting them with their own hypocrisy.
I don’t think that “progressive” is the right label to use here, i.e. for the rabid Biden-defenders and pro-Israel Democrats. Those are just your run-of-the-mill liberals.
A lot of them do consider themselves “progressives” though. They are progressive only in name, but they still think they are and behave as if just stating that they are “progressive” somehow makes them morally superior to others.
I think “progressive” in quotation marks, is the right way to put it (or better yet- “faux-progressive”). Because these liberals have painstakingly presented themselves as “progressive,” and to define themselves as the “left,” and their whole schtick is claiming to be the “lesser evil,” and pretending like they aren’t part of the problem.
Is the progressive liberals the one who initiate a new form of racism where they claim to be racist against black people for their culture instead of their imagined biological traits and the one who is behind the red fascist tankiejerking? The tankiejerkers do seem to oppose conservative Pax Americana activists like Donald Trump despite their blind support to Pax Americana in general and their support for reactionary in another name.
TL;DR: Controlled opposition
That’s not at all a good tl;dr. Liberals are only opposition to progress.
