It’s because they are liberals and they hate it. you should see the posts of them doing political tests and getting upset when it says they’re not communist lol
Yellow dots are supposedly where the governments of those nations fit, and the red dot is the tankie. tho granted this example is them being a libertarian instead of a liberal, but there are a few other examples that tankies post. It’s why they like to brag to each other about their political tests
Note that to actually land on the “auth left” quadrant in the political compass test you basically have to say you have extremely bigoted views. You have to say you want the government to enforce strict immigration laws, have no rights for women, etc etc but all of that combined with left wing economic views.
That’s because the political compass test confuses where one stands with regards to the validity of the authority of the state (as in, anarchists believe the state ought not to exist at all, while Marxists generally believe it ought to exist but only while the revolution is taking place and socialism is being built to eventually replace capitalism with communism) with social views in general. It’s perfectly possible to be an anarchist with regressive social views or a Marxist with progressive ones, but the political compass test doesn’t really differentiate that at all and it would put the former in the auth left quadrant, and the latter in lib left.
I think this video by revolutionaryth0t did a good job of explaining why almost everyone on the left lands on the “lib-left” quadrant regardless of their actual theoretical stances.
I honestly don’t think it’s that complicated. They want to feel like their political values are altruistic and pure and they someone equate achieving this by refusing to do the bare minimum needed to actually help those they pretend to give a shit about, all while taking swings at anyone that points out a flaw in their ideology.,
They’re the yin-yang of abject arrogance and entitlement.
And like their MAGA cousins, they’re too stupid to ever see it for themselves, and too stubborn to ever allow anyone to show them the way out.
