@matrix are you mistaking liberalism for leftism again 
@matrix i think maybe you're looking for no true scottsman, here? NotAllLeftists doesn't make sense as im explicitly saying liberals aren't leftist at all. That's kind of beside the point though. Free market capitalism is the foundational principal of liberalism which obviously precludes it from being a leftist ideology
@animeirl
I meant that not all leftists do this.
A liberal institution can still be infiltrated though and the (supposedly conservative) UK House Of Commons does not have a market pressure like a lot of companies to do stuff like this.
@matrix Maybe not directly, but brands of turned pride colors into a marketing gimmick. see pride flag? we love gays. we're the good brand. pls engage and consume product. they're just trying to piggyback off of that idea
@animeirl
Yes. That's true with corporations but what product is the House Of Commons selling?
@matrix voter approval
@animeirl
Of tory voters?
@matrix people who don't consistently vote for a particular party. Those are who determine elections. Also, while not on quite the scale as the US, the years of incompetence and massive failures in dealing with coronavirus have probably started to put the legitimacy of the UK government into question which is something I'm sure everyone in power would like to shore up.
@animeirl
But then my post is still right though
@matrix er, not really, at least not in the context of ~politics~
@matrix maybe, but i think you might be underestimating how many people are emotionally invested in perceiving themselves as Good People
