    Why can’t you provide real world examples if we are supposed to take you at your word. This should be extremely easy.

    Note that I said: “attitudes, views, perspective, key historical points relevant to this conversation, no meaningless generalities.”

    and it’s really just the capitalist with minimal regulation bit that’s consistently there in all the branches.

    I do not find the last piece convincing because of certain real world examples (I’ve lived there for multiple years and speak the local language). Keep in mind that I don’t mean this a straightforward way, based on your reply, there may be things that you’ haven’t considered.

    Capitalism (not necessarily American-style oligarchy, or American style capitalism themed polemics and propaganda) is supported by almost everyone outside of tiny niches; it’s definitely not only supported liberals, so the capitalist identification is meaningless.

    Not that “capitalist with minimal regulation” is going to be helpful in the first place.

    You couldn’t even answer the kindergarten-level question:

    a liberal in Moldova, Oman and the US are all the same and “capitalist with minimal regulation” is all that they are?

    If anarchists believe this to be true, then they should say it openly. But I think everyone understands how stupid that would sound.

    Not to be overly uncharitable, but this is why a lot of English speaking (as a first language) self-identifying leftists come off as online roleplayers.

    If anything, if what you are saying is true, it only reinforces the notion that the obsession with “liberals” among internet leftists is mostly US-specific shitposting deeply tainted with American provincialism and lack of curiosity.
