You thought that liberalism being mental cancer was just a funny joke?

They believe that they are the forces of good fighting against the forces of darkness.

Don't you remember being 14?

>funny joke
No one's laughing.

it's probably a prion disease, like mad cow or kuru

Like atheism before it, liberalism became the "it" thing to say you are so you can ignore the fact you're stupid and feel good about yourself. Naturally every sheep falls in line and eventually the bad voices outnumber the good and the whole movement is lost.

Liberty itself is important and something we should honor. Liberalism as it is today is absolute cancer and must be meme'd to death.

It's more the fact that nowadays the only time people come across ideas different than their own are when a friend makes a strawman of the opposing idea for cheap laughs.
Honestly a lot of conservatives are similar, no one wants to make sense of things through conversation they just want an enemy.

thinking they are acting selfless hence acting holier than thou

Nice CP link. Sike, reported.

Racists = dumb rednecks
Liberals = smart tolerant harbringers of society.

Humility is a basic value of Western Civilization. Liberals reject the values of Western Civilization.

Underdeveloped amygdala.

Too many people have opinions on things they know nothing about, and the less they know the more opinions they have.

Modern "liberals" tend to have a lot of opinions. Conservatives as well, but not as much because conservative belief tends to stay the same, naturally.

It's the doctrine where the state protects the rule of law you moron. That's why

A delusional sense of moral superiority, which allows them to be as hateful and vile as they want towards their opposition, because anyone who disagrees with them are seen as evil subhumans (sexist, racist, nazi, bigot, etc).
It's similar to what the Christian conservatives did back in the days (calling people godless, immoral heathens, satanists, etc) when they had power, except they never had the total control over the narrative as the liberals do, due to their control of the media. You see the same shit in Islam, where they justify genocide, torture and murder against non-believers.
Modern day liberalism is just another cult.

You feel like your helping the world by stealing rich people's money.

They believe they know the truth
and
they believe people who defend the opposite views are weak and won't act to defend it like they do (occupying public buildings, making demonstrations etc)

Seriously, just this week I argued with the intern in my work.
I said the leftist students didn't have the right to distrupt traffic or occupy public buildings to defend their causes (as they are doing now).

She said nothing ever changes if they don't and mentioned the fucking French Revolution.
They do believe they are heroes.

Collectivism.

They think everyone thinks like them. When you assume you have 90% of society agreeing with you you get arrogant, and when you find someone who disagrees with you it challenges not only whatever thing they're disagreeing with, but their entire view of the world, so they lash out far more aggressively than just a normal disagreement.

It's why they are most aggressive towards minorities that don't toe the party line.

arrogance and narcissism are just a symptom of a deeper, nastier unhappiness.
this generation has nothing to grasp to.

grown up as spoiled primadonnas, without sense of community, without points of reference, left alone in a world where you should live "as if" your dreams will come true if you believe hard enough, except boomers leeched all money they could leech and we're now a shitton of interconnected people, where competition is just pointless because there's always somebody that does better the things you'd like to do on the other side of the planet.

all niches are exploited, everything is just something else recycled and pop-ified for the masses to consume, everything is a trend. we all strive to be unique flowers in a overcrowded garden. so we either go insane trying to be someone else or we just conform like fucking drones in a world that ultimately doesn't give a shit.

the only solution is truly live your life with some kind of romanticism (or naiveté) and stop giving a fuck. there's only unhappiness out there for the rational mind.

Aussie shitpost quality sure is declining.
