One comic that amused me more than it should have shows two crows perched on a branch. The caption is \*An Attempted Murder". ---

“I’m a liberal but [standard right-wing rhetoric]” is a tried-and-true approach to trollery, certainly. (Which is why Joe Lycett’s current “I’m totally right-wing - prove that I’m not” campaign is so freaking hilarious.) ---

Sort of, but (to quote Moonrise without linking): > [@](#): > > Liberalism is about not only affirming, but striving to achieve equality between members of society, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, diet, creed, wealth, etc. It is rooted in facts and reason, critical thinking, peaceful coexistence, inclusivity and ultimately compassion and love for all humans. Its main tools are education and free access to information. > > Wokeness seems to me to be about imposing minority views to the rest of society. It is based on “feelings” and passion, blind adherence to a strict with-us-or-against-us worldview, conflict, exclusion and ultimately hatred for the Other. Its main tools are banning, rewriting and hiding. Could just be spectacular cluelessness, but when you can’t tell the difference does it matter? ---

Nope, not a blessed difference that matters. It’s very Lewis Carroll. “When I use a word… it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less”, which is of less use to the rest of us than a pet rock, which at least makes for a decent paperweight. ---

> [@RitterSport](#): > > I feel like I’m missing something here. Liberals as opposed to progressives? Yeah, and maybe I’m being overly snarky–but it’s definitely the sort of Lieberman/Carville liberal cavilling I’m accustomed to hearing: “We should favor equality and justice, but let’s not go overboard like the loony left does!” ---

Apparently, this long-time liberal was also a hard-line follower of Islam for over eighteen years, converting just a couple of years ago! [quote=" **Moonrise** , post:180, topic:981220"] It so happens that I converted to Islam over 20 years ago. I lived day in day out with Muslims for 18 years and that includes my ex-wife, our daughters, her family and absolutely all of her friends. I have spent several extended stays in Muslim-majority countries, living alongside the locals. I spent over 2 years taking religious classes and used to\* be able to recite about 25 suras by heart. I prayed 5 times a day and fastened on Ramadan. I’m willing to bet I know more about Islam from first-hand experience than 90% of you guys here. \*I’ve since left the faith. [/ quote] ---
