part of where i’m coming from is that i mostly or even wholly agree with this message, however my understanding of effective propaganda tells me that the context of a message matters almost as much as the message itself. i appreciate and respect your desire to kill not just your inner liberal, put to also help others kill theirs, but what i see in this meme, and what the threadstarter saw as well, is an attack on a self organized resistance movement with a lot of potential to grow new leftists, kill inner liberals, and create an overall movement towards existing socialism.
my critique of your first comment was that i think it actually undermines your stated aims in your second comment because it creates the impression that the protestors should not be supported because it should be assumed the protestors are liberals.

My goal is to connect that promising movement to the existing movement already organizing, to fold them into our shared movement. I appreciate your critique, but sometimes it is important for liberals to be exposed to genuine leftist theory and organizing work, otherwise they usually end up going back to brunch. I don’t condemn the protestors, but instead those that protest and then let that be the end of their political journey.
