Poor minorities are poor because of years of systematic oppression and should be held as heroes and encouraged.

Poor white people are poor because they are ignorant racist religious morons and they don't deserve help.

Unless people who are in the underclasses can unite around common cause to represent themselves - the old form was unions, maybe there's a new way of doing this people haven't thought of yet - then they'll continue getting screwed, and we'll continue to have the same basic style of wealth inequality.

I think liberal values, free speech and equality and so on, are indeed better. The alt-right makes types claim to this but they don't really have any faith in these values. They seem to think bringing people in from other cultures make these values weaken; they also think that society used to think of itself as homogeneous way back when, and that there's no way to have a multi-ethnic society that can still function as a society. All of this is really ahistorical imo.

The finance industry will become a vampire squid unless (at best) regulated and controlled. Agreed with the gif from OP.

My actual liberal opinion is that a woman should have total say on whether she will carry a baby to term, and likewise, a man should have total say on whether he will support a child, being able to disown it before birth or upon finding out about it later.

My opinions and identity mean more than anyone else's constitutional rights, and easily trump whatever they've worked hard to earn.

No one should be allowed to say things I disagree with and facts are irrelevant in discourse because they make me sad and I should never, ever feel sad due to my own lack of research or knowledge of a topic I've chosen to champion.

Literally anyone who disagrees with this is a racist, misogynist, xenophobe, bigot, and jerk.

Yeah, they suck. But liberals suck just as much. It's important that, if you're a leftist, to separate your identity from that of a liberal, who is a contemptible piece of poo poo on equal footing with neocons and fascists.

If you honestly believe for example that abortion is killing a human and sending them to hell (lol) and you vote for the party that promises to end it, that is altruistic. But ascribing anything you disagree with to ignorance or malice is the standard liberal response and why they get accused of elitism.

But really there are a lot of ignorant motherfuckers out there
