You know, it reminds me of this time I said something mean about Jordan Peterson (back when he was mostly a local problem) and a teenage relative defended him saying something like “actually he’s more of a classic liberal” as if that was positive or something. I don’t think anyone understood why that cracked me up so bad. I don’t think I understand it either but it still makes me laugh.
I don’t want to dunk on them too hard because I think we should politely forget cringe takes from teenagers and they turned out okay in the end.
Idk why but the specific language of “classic” feels funnily absurd to me. Like funny in an awful what the fuck way.
Definitely as in classic Athens

Sooo … stuck in the 18 hundreds? Which sounds about right.
Tbf defending someone by saying they’re a classical liberal is pretty funny. “They’re just this other bad thing”
But I’m glad to hear they’re alright
