There literally isn't one. This is just a (snarky) political post. One that most people would agree with (hopefully) but also still isn't really a meme.

This is exactly what I'm saying

What if I'm not a liberal?

[–] vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

“Liberal” arbitrarily changes meaning depending on who they want to dunk on today.

They are trolls. Ignore them.

Really? When has liberal changed meaning?

[–] 10_0@lemmy.ml -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It didn't, it means "person I don't like"

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, it consistently refers to an ideology that supports Capitalism.

It means whatever you want it to mean.

I mean, monarchy supported capitalism. Even many socialist countries support capitalism. So supporting capitalism isn't specific enough.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Monarchists didn't really support Capitalism, and neither do Communists support Capitalism. Primarily, what is dominant in terms of class structure determines the system, broadly. Liberals want a system dominated by Capitalism and Capitalists, and support measures that protect and service that structure.

Monarchists didn’t really support Capitalism

Tell that to literally any monarchy in history.

Communists

Did I say communist? Did I stutter?

What do you think Capitalism is? It has dethroned the Monarchies throughout history, or relegated them to a fraction of their former power.

Did I say communist? Did I stutter?

All Socialist countries are headed by Communist parties currently, ideologically they are Communists. This is splitting hairs.
