Do you have some kind of source that gave you this misinformed idea you keep repeating? Neither Britannica, Wikipedia, Dictionary.com or any other obvious source remotely supports what you are claiming. Are you confusing Libertarians with Liberalism?
It’s just a far-left claiming everyone else is right-wing. It’s a common thing in their group.

Your attempted explanation is wrong. Trump won the rust belt in 2016 because neoliberals sold out the working class and their unions. This behavior by the administration is a half hearted attempt to roll some of that back.
Yeah, it's totally the Republicans who are pro-union.
It may happen with the unions too. Especially with the blue collar private sector unions. I do not expect this change for public sector unions to happen.
If you send money to fascists be prepared for the money to be intercepted. Simple as that
You are the part of the reason that modern extremism exists in the first place.

Mandates will always be political.
At least in the US lots of vaccines are mandated (of children) and it's not political.
See this article by Dr Peter Attia (and embedded graph under heading "OBSERVATION 4") about how dangerous COVID is for children (and adults https://peterattiamd.com/a-follow-up-to-my-article-on-vaccin...

For diseases that actually hurt children. See this article by Dr Peter Attia (and embedded graph under heading "OBSERVATION 4" ) about how dangerous COVID is for children (and adults https://peterattiamd.com/a-follow-up-to-my-article-on-vaccin...
The covid mandate in the US at least was of adults. All of whom are at some risk (especially if you include long covid).
GoFundMe should be political neutral, but it openly turns left. I recommend a long post explaining this phenomenon: https://richardhanania.substack.com/p/why-is-everything-libe...
I should have stuck to my rule about stopping reading at 'woke' but I wanted to give it a chance.
Why do people have to request refunds? Shouldn't they able to do that automatically?
My gut feeling is that GFM wanted to keep their tips, and this was a "good" way of doing so. However it's also a little complicated since some of the money has been dispersed to the organizers (most of which went to Tamara Lich, according to the GFM page.) I guess they'll prorate the refunds or absorb the loss?

Sounds like American political parlance needs to be elevated by people learning the distinction between all of those terms. Which is exactly the point of the comment. Just because a lot of people misuse terms and conflate unrelated concepts, doesn't mean they're right.
On the one hand, I want to agree with you because every time I see someone on here use "woke" without any sense of what the word is actually meant to describe (hint - Spotify removing Joe Rogan episodes isn't "wokism") it puts my teeth on edge.
On the other hand, that's how language works whether one likes it or not.
Apparently Elon Musk also got involved and called GoFundMe “professional thieves”, because they were going to redirect donations intended for Canadian protesters to other (likely left leaning) causes: https://nypost.com/2022/02/05/elon-musk-gofundme-professiona... He also called out their double standard for claiming to not support protests that aren’t peaceful after they funded so many violent riots and illegal acti…
Why does anyone care what Elon Musk says about this situation? It has nothing to do with his businesses.
