    That’s just because you lack understanding. Liberals are “treated as a monolith” because each individual on their own is irrelevant compared to the systems and superstructures they uphold. You’re stuck in the individualist view which is largely unhelpful for serious or proper political analysis which the jokes and memes then flow from.

      I don’t agree but I understand. I find it extremely frustrating that it’s so difficult to organize my fellow Americans to respond to the injustices we all see and agree on. That said I’m not at all convinced to give up whatever individualism I have. I don’t see individualism/collectivism as so black-and-white, or even one-dimensional.
