Western progressives and leftists are protesting, liberals by definition support current structures and systems to achieve populist goals, but humanitarian causes are not on their radar usually unless it's the most milquetoast issue that everyone can agree on.

As others have said here, the names of things have changed a lot, and this is made more confusing by the fact that a large portion of the population has no idea how this shift has taken place, and conservatives still refer to their hated enemy as "libs" because they're not very bright and names stick. It does throw them for a loop when you say "I'm not a liberal, I'm a leftist/progressive" and it's a good way to remind them how dumb they really are.

Can't believe I'm posting in a Palestine thread again but here we go. I think people aren't using the same words in the same way in this thread. In the last decade there has been a shift in how the word liberal is used. Two decades ago there were the neo-liberals, which said they were not big C conservative but were.

To separate themselves from the neo-liberals, liberals started calling themselves leftist. Which meant the neo-liberals as the only "liberals" remaining. So now the word liberal can mean a person on the left, or a person on the right, depending on the intent of the speaker.

So saying that the liberals are turning a blind eye to genocide is true, the speaker probably just means neo-liberals but ommitted the neo. Language is fluid, and confusing

No, leftists are protesting the genocide. Liberals aren’t leftists.

Western Liberals are cheering on their president supporting the Genocide.

Bro those aren't liberals protesting.

you have no fucking clue who or what liberal is.

Conservative goalposts moving.

im literally in one of the protest encampments in britain right now and the vast majority of people here are anti liberal leftists, there's literally more overt marxists here than there are liberals

This. Change the last line to, "U.S. armaments companies need to suck taxpayer money that would have been better spent on the taxpayers, so 'we don't see no genocide.'

Or, "We need to pander to evangelicals, who need Israel to exist so they can have their Book of Revelations, end of the world, apocalyptic jerk-off fantasies."

This is .ml, they use “liberal” the same way republican fascists use the word “liberal” - a blanket statement to encompass “anyone who either doesn’t agree with or is not extreme enough for me”
