  I don’t use it that way. There are plenty of people I disagree with who aren’t libs. But in this case I was talking about a specific group of conspiracy theorists who are active on Lemmy who are, general speaking, libs.

    “generally speaking” as in “I pulled this stat out of my ass”

    Calling you a russian bot isn’t exactly a liberal policy, is it?

    If your reasoning for determining someone is “a lib” is saying that, then that’s exactly how you’re using the term.

    The fact you immediately assumed I was a capitalist is a pretty compelling argument that you’re not good at determining people’s ideologies based on their unrelated complaints about your bad takes

      This may come as a surprise to you, but there are plenty of people who I disagree with who don’t baselessly accuse everyone they disagree with of being Russian bots. There happens to be a shit ton of overlap between liberals and people who subscribe to that particular conspiracy theory.

      I called you a supporter of capitalism because you objected to criticism of supporters of capitalism. You can identify how you please, but if you quack, I’m gonna assume you’re a duck. Doesn’t mean I accuse everyone of being ducks.
