How about we just stand with whoever opposes our current authoritarian government and try to get them out of power instead of pulling this "holier than thou" crap.

Students for a Democratic Society (SDS): SDS was one of the most influential student organizations of the anti-war era, mobilizing large-scale protests and advocating for democratic socialism and direct action against the Vietnam War. Through Operation CHAOS, the CIA infiltrated SDS chapters, gathering intelligence on its membership and strategies. The agency’s informants sometimes instigated aggressive actions or created tensions between factions within the group, contributing to its eventual dissolution. By sowing division and encouraging splintering, the CIA effectively weakened SDS as a unified force, reducing its influence over the national anti-war movement.

Liberals never act meaningfully to threaten authoritarianism.

Liberals protect the state. The state protects authoritarianism. When leftists undertake direct action to protect the population against such oppressive systems, liberals pretend that leftists are the greater enemy.
