Arguably, it's at least in large part the efforts of socialists, communists, and radical feminists that made some of these possible. But decades of vilification in the USA have made them virtually invisible to the general population.

Nothing like propaganda to make people to go against their best interests. I keep having to remember even decades is well after I was born, I can't imagine having the ideals of conservatives. As long as it's functional but there's no cost to not suppressing others, well there may be at some point when we're all on a scorching planet and have to make real sacrifices. Of course the old billionaires will be dead for the rest to deal with the fallout.... hopefully figuratively and not actually like the game.

You seem confused. They said socialists, communists and radical feminists. Not liberals.

I am confused as to why they'd misrepresent liberals like that yeah

Da, comrade. Any likeness to other AI bots, both real and imagined, is purely coincidental.

also disinformation too, which is more harmful and intentional.
