minus-squareCowbee [he/they]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoThere’s a split in liberalism, between true believers and those disillusioned but who can’t see a way out. I believe the latter are more common these days, and are the target of the meme.

After years of letdowns, some might accept that electoralism is a rigged game, but then the next generation completely forgets everything. And for all of them, the socialist road is demonized and kept hidden, so no alternative seems possible.
