Given how the libs here so readily resort to the unfalsifiable, ad hominem conspiracy theory of accusing anyone who disagrees with them of being a Russian bot, it's wild to think that there are places they see as even more filled with Russian bots.

I guess you're part of the American right? You see... the right in the US has been fed a steady stream of Russian propaganda through their talking heads for a while now. So the right has become indistinguishable from Russian bots. Sorry for the confusion!

Why on earth would you think I'm on the American right?

[-] jas0n@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Thought "libs" was an American specific term. My apologies.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago

"Libs" is short for "liberal," meaning a supporter of capitalism. Those on the American right who aren't fascists are generally liberals, though they often don't know what it means. When I criticize liberals, it's from a leftist/anti-capitalist perspective.

Society in general understands it the way you do, the term is just different here on Lemmy lol.

And in the entire rest of the world outside of the US. See the Liberal Democrats of the UK for example. Or, like, formal/academic discussion even within the US. John Locke was a classical liberal, Ronald Reagan was a neoliberal, etc.

It's only informally, when the right started using it as a scare word, that people started using it differently, and that was relatively recent considering the history of the word.
