I’ve had multiple family members deployed to active warzones.
Whenever we talked about war, it was never about politics. It was always “X’s tour is supposed to finish next month,” or “I heard something happened near [town], wasn’t X deployed near there?”
I know how everyone talks about it on the internet, but what is it like for you at home?
“Liberal Zionist?” Asking because I dont understand, not attacking anything.
Liberal Zionists prefer more palatable methods for eliminating Palestinians (cultural erasure, apartheid, legalized land seizure) but they don’t oppose genocidal escalations when they do occur.
They would prefer a two state solutions but believe Arabs and Jews are incompatible together. They are otherwise relatively progressive for their age. They’re Bernie supporters. it’s what is called Progressive Except Palestine (PEP).

I don’t even know what anyone means when they throw out “liberal” anymore.
My working definition is something like liberals would like everyone to be happy and get along but aren’t willing to give up an ounce of their own privilege for that to happen. Also quite ignorant about the actual realities of the social issues they allegedly care about. Can be mixed with many other ideologies because it doesn’t have any political substance of its own.
I agree with your definition. I would also add that liberals support the institution of capital and generally provide cover for it’s coercive nature.
to me libs are hypocrites who try to not anger any side too much
Liberal means “covert” and “more palatable” but with the same objectives.
