Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

"Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds."
You have it a little backwards. Liberals are kind of the "default" in capitalist society. Fascism could almost be considered an extension of liberalism. It has the same economic values, and often the same political values, just more "mask off" about them. You're right that a liberal who educates themselves ceases to be a liberal, but most people online are not secret fascists, or at least, not consciously so. Liberals just have a lot of overlap with fascists, that's all.
And while we joke about the paid trolls and three letter agents a lot, the truth is that there are plenty of people willing to do their dirty work for them for free. They don't need to be paid, they do it of their own volition, because they see it as "saving democracy from the evil tankies."
Liberals are drawn to fascism easily because at some point State want them to and they oppose Communism, also because the State want them to.
So the libs are just like some toolset of State to oppose Communism and support fascism when need arises.
@sicaniv @DamarcusArt liberals are fascists on vacations.
