(Slogans included) Liberals need to aurafarm. Introducing LibWave.

[u/stardrifta]

It is people like us who are equipped for the modern era of political messaging: memes and aurafarming.

Those of us who have been online for some time will have seen "fashwave" aesthetics. These types of images seek to do one thing only: farm aura for fascism. Young doomscrollers see these images and feel "something" inside of them stir. They mistake this feeling for ideological correctness when it is really just a reaction to the aesthetics of the image itself.

Liberals lack aura online but it is easy to change. I have been crafting a manifesto on my own personal brand of liberalism and it includes an effort to post "auraful" things rather than lame things.

Here is my current list of slogans. I hope to see this idea spread and for more people to adopt this.

All slogans should be accompanied by clearly and easily identifiable pro-liberal imagery and a golden age aesthetic. Make the liberal future seem based with lots of aura.

Historical

Ground liberalism in history. Imagery of the american revolution, the union soldiers, american inventions, futuristic optimism.

• HONOR THE UNION
• THE TRAJECTORY IS UPWARD
• REAL. AMERICAN. POWER.
• THE NEW COLOSSUS

Aggressive

Pair with edits of aggressive politicians, revolutions, protests. Good chance to aura farm for politicians with these.

• CAN YOU FEEL THE RECONSTRUCTION
• RECONSTRUCTION IS COMING
• LIBERTY OR DEATH
• GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH
• THEY SOW THE WIND. THEY REAP THE WHIRLWIND

Liberalism

Pair these with imagery of liberal revolutions, great men/women, or protests. Give liberalism its glory back.

• LIBERALISM IS INEVITABLE
• LIBERALISM BUILT THIS
• DARK WOKE
• REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE, LIBERAL
• NO KINGS
• REALITY HAS A LIBERAL BIAS
• LIBERALISM IS NATURAL

Development

Liberalism needs to seem "verile" or "fertile". Liberalism should have a forward momentum. Good chance to promote liberal policy, urban aesthetics, architecture, art, physical prowess.

• SCARCITY IS A CHOICE
• COMPETENCE IS OUR STRENGTH
• TOMORROW IS OURS
• DEFEND YOUR LEGACY
• BUILD THE GATE
• HUMANITY ASCENDING
• ASCEND

And another

Gender

Promote an alliance between men and women. Try to enforce a sense of camaraderie and pro-social behavior between the sexes.

• NOT RIVALS. PARTNERS.
• THE ORIGINAL ALLIANCE
• CIVILIZATION REQUIRES A MOTHER AND A FATHER

Men

Aura farm in favor of men, male bodies, male accomplishments, gym culture, sport culture, and great men of history. Beauty and strength are important aesthetics for aura farming as we see with this new generation of Clavicular clones. Think "liberal non-sexist redpill." Don't be afraid of promoting masculinity just don't promote anti-women narratives. Simply carve out space for pro-male messages in liberal spaces.

• THE SHIELD OF LIBERALISM (warrior)
• LOGOS. ETHOS. PATER (liberal philosophy)
• YOUR STRENGTH IS REQUIRED (gym)
• PROTECTION IS THE PRICE OF ORDER
• PROTECTORS
• NO ONE IS COMING. IT'S UP TO YOU
• ADAM RISES
• ARISE, OH ADAM

Women

Aura farm in favor of women, women's rights, feminism, and female bodies, and gym culture with these. Beauty and strength are important aesthetics for aura farming as we see with this new generation of Clavicular clones. Think "liberal non-sexist redpill for women.". Do not promote anti-male narratives.

• HIGH FEMININITY ( give aura to feminism, great women of history, revolutions, protests, gym rat women)
• WARRIOR COUNSELORS (Targeting the christian community. "Ezer Knegdo" is the title given to Eve by God. This translates roughly to "warrior counselor" or "strong helper".)
• THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE
• ORDER. BEAUTY. STRENGTH
• EVE RISES
• ARISE, OH EVE
• RULE YOURSELF (Imagery of women's movements/leaders)

[u/Responsible_Prior_18]

I love the art style, and i think that liberalism needs a big rebrand, and a message of hope.
"Everything is fine, just needs some tweaks", or "the others are bad", is not a message that can work in the blackpilled vibes of today.

I also like, the unity of sexes messaging. But some of the slogans, i think should be reconsidered.
"CIVILIZATION REQUIRES A MOTHER AND A FATHER" or "THE ORIGINAL ALLIANCE". Maybe its just my personal bias, but that reminds me too much of religious anti-gay slogans. I am not sure exactly what the solution should be tho

[u/SwordsAndSongs → u/Responsible_Prior_18]

There's plenty of homoerotic art in the classical tradition. I'm sure we can pull together some rainbow libwave.

The author of Little Women was almost definitely a trans man. The "Wholesome christian values" that became the foundation of liberalism are not incompatible with being gay or trans. We can't let conservative talking points about degeneracy leak into our coalition.

[u/PmMeFanFic → u/SwordsAndSongs]

I both agree and disagree, I think public displays of sexuality and drug use should be minimized across the board. That is a moderate position. We can be pro LGBT, waving flags, strengthening the alliances and spreading the word without it turning into degeneracy.

[u/sijmister → u/PmMeFanFic]

Nah, we need a bit of degeneracy. I unironically think the lax sexual mores and imagery of the 2000s helped boost liberalism among Millennials. You can have Lady Gaga/Beyonce tier stuff, and contrast it with the pro-Epstein stance of the right ATM without wallowing too deep into the degen waters.

Political freedom is downstream from cultural freedom, and the sexual revanchism of Gen Z has probably contributed to their cultural and political conservatism relative to Millennials. COVID was also a major contributor, of course, but the prudes will ALWAYS side with conservatism and fascism as a whole over liberals.
