At this point, if we're not talking about armed revolution, we're liberals to some extent. As such, I don't think it is too useful to simply say x person is liberal and should be put in the basket of liberal deplorables or whatever. But yes, I disagree with Peter when he tries to qualify the or apologize for the crimes of the oligarchs. Everybody has blind spots...

PDS talking about Palestine and Ukraine and purported benign-ness of post-war USA made me cringe bigly. He may be a good and well intentioned liberal, but also a good reminder of the extreme limitations of what being a liberal gets you. Hearing Aaron and Bryce speak at the end was a helpful antidote. And yes, they're losing now thank goodness. I hope some of these currently active Fascists in Ukraine, Israel, D.C., Brussels, etc. will be brought to justice. The rest of us will need extensive reeducation and deprogramming to deal with it.
