Moreover, loss of income before winter is a death sentence.
They didn't live in Alaska lol
Next time you volunteer at a shelter, ask the folks you’re helping which is the most dangerous season.
This absolute beet thinks winter in the hilly side of Tennessee doesn’t get several inches of snow. Or that you can just brave it if you lack shelter.
This is bad, and you should feel bad.
Loss of income in a rural area where the boss will tell all his buddies at the Irish pub to blacklist you from being hired
Liberals love sneering at working class folk using thinly veiled “advice”
Oh just find a better job that pays more with less stress. Just move, or just buy a truck that can ford the water. Just quit! Just form a union, it’s that simple!
Meanwhile if anything makes them feel the slightest bit uncomfortable they lose their shit, let alone if something stops them from their daily Starbucks.
I have never in my life heard advice from libruls like you describe. I don't know what kool-aid you're drinking.
Liberals as in free market capitalists, not left leaning progressives.
As the other poster pointed out. They're using the term with reference to economic liberalism. What the US was founded upon. What we today generally refer to as capitalism. Economic liberalism is a mouthful. It was generally shortened to liberalism and it's adherence called liberals. The modern use of the term is a warping of that. Realistically wealthy Democrats and Wealthy Republicans are both liberals. Just not the Liberals you would be referring to with the term liberal. You're using it as slang they're using it as a proper noun/term.
it's largely the american right who call the left liberals, anyone on the left who identifies as a liberal should reconsider their use of the term.
This is you. This is what you sound like.
I believe from context that the person you are replying to was using Liberal meaning:
Not the left-leaning meaning. It's another reason political discourse is so awful. People aren't using common definitions of their vocabulary.
Still not sounding like a scholar, whatever meaning they ascribe to liberals.
These are the edgy ml “liberals” right? Just checking.
