- weaksauce 8y agoperfect. thanks for proving my point. if all you have are some radicals from the 60s and 70s you can't say that liberals are an issue nowadays on the scale that is radical right wing terrorism.
- braythwayt 8y agoSpeaking as someone old enough to remember the Weather Underground, I would not conflate “anti-authoritarianism” with “Liberalism.” Liberalism in today’s society is stuff like taxing people to pay for health care, or living wages, or supporting the right of workers to unionize. The Weathermen’s stated political goal was to overthrow U.S. imperialism. That is not something I would lump in the same basket as liberalism. So I would say that this isn’t an example of liberal thinking at all, whether from the 60s or any other decade. Just because it isn’t “conservative” doesn’t make it liberal, and trying to lump everyone into a false dichotomy is rather Fox News, in my opinion.
