Who mentioned elites? Who mentioned revolution? Did you just pull this post out of a bank you have ready to go whenever people mock “centrist Liberals”?
Remember when you fawned over “centrist Liberals” like Jordan Peterson? You ever think, maybe, you don’t actually know where the real danger to Liberalism is coming from and are informed entirely by your own biases?

You clearly just glossed over rube’s posts and didn’t read them*. Rube brought up elites. He also said “we’re seeing
the enlightened centrist/liberals of the world lining up with the far right…” Not just some.
And rube’s posting history shows he genuinely opposes centrist liberals, full-stop. He’s a leftist, not a liberal. There’s a difference. I’m team Macron/Tusk/Biden. Rube isn’t. And fair play to him. I just happen to think moderate liberalism is preferable to kind of leftism rube champions.
But we’ve been over this ground many times before. I doubt anyone’s going to change anyone’s mind.
* Though you did thank his post pretending that WW2 didn’t happen. Which is pretty funny.
