Yes. Because it’s bullshit.
Your comment history is filled of right wing bullshit
>“ Communists from privileged backgrounds, the oldest story in the world.”
“I dont care about politics” mfs are always right wingers. It’s all so predictable
They're in the mindset of a war and when you're in that mindset, people who don't take a side are just giving way to the opposite faction by way of not doing anything. The only acceptable answer in their war is participating in their side and since they're terminally online and assured of their correctness, they don't comprehend an idea that you can take a stance that isn't theirs.
It's very similar mindset to the Jihad or the Crusades. It is a holy war in which you are either participating on the side of good or you are on the side of evil even in your non-action.
Have you seen the news like at all? Supreme court legalized racial discrimination. ICE agents kidnapping legal people and US citizens without warrants and deporting them without due process. President threatening to annex ally countries for no reason. The feds trying to take control of elections. Executive branch completely ignoring judicial rulings. All the most powerful and richest people are part of pedophilic cabal that has explicitly manipulated masses of people and interfered with government structures around the world. Oh, and we’re all paying lifetime high on taxes thanks to the president’s pet economic policy that every economist under the sun says is stupid.
Notice "right wing" becomes "nazi", by a right winger
Many such cases
When they say the left watered down "nazi" and call everyone "nazi" don't be gaslit, use your memory
You’re supporting a paramilitary that uses racial discrimination to violently and warrantlessly kidnap people and send them to camps without due process and then extrajudicially executes people who protest it.
The left didn’t “water down” nazi, you were just slowly frog boiled in the nazi water. Also, you’re in political post in r/4chan. Who are you trying to fool?
If you're not 100% on board, they'll also add the other descriptors too: fascist, bootlicker, nazi, White supremacist, alt right, chud, and of course, incel. Usually a combination of these terms like "Hey bro, you're acting like a fascist bootlicker incel nazi chud right now"
I was driving with my roommate a few weeks back and he started talking politics on an hour car ride. I told him I'd rather talk about literally anything else. "Why? Are you afraid to voice your opinion? I know you grew up in a conservative family so you're probably fascist and don't even know it." Actual words out of his mouth.
I started saying stuff that I didn't believe but knew would piss him off. "You know how we make amendments to the constitution? I think we should make another to allow 3 terms for presidency. We could really use another few years of Trump." I didn't vote for the guy since I think he's a moron, but just watching his blood boil when I said it made me so happy.
That would've felt like one long car ride. You have the patience of a saint. Notice that it's usually leftists who cancel their friends who are not as left as them, but not the other way around?
I’m not political, I just get angry at AOC memes and agree with nearly every position Joe rogan spews and don’t have any anger at a single right wing position.
I noticed a trend that every time some redditor spews the most insane unhinged thing ever they always have +4 years on reddit. This site truly corrupts your mind
What are you like a high schooler or are you suiciding your accounts or something? You’re posting on r/4chan too buddy so I’m not sure it’s the burn you think it is
I'm not political, I just know both sides are equally terrible and no politician is going to improve your life in any meaningful way. I am a man who takes accountability for himself, and will thrive no matter what talking mouth piece is voted in.
The game is pretty simple. Shareholders always win, the ticket is just to become one. Or just keep voting for your favorite politician. The next one will surely make your life better.
I've seen it work out in real life just like this:
Step 1: Person is largely indifferent to politics.
Step 2: Person gets called every name in the book by left and is told they're evil for not caring.
Step 3: Person now does care about politics specifically against left leaning ideology due to how they treated.
That's basically the entire reason the modern "frat bro/Greek life" ethos exists. Which for young Americans that go on to earn college degrees has been ground zero for doing something to "own the libs" since 2016.
It's the entire reason why a lot of things exist now. In the crusade to become progressive as possible. They've basically alienated everyone. Even within their own group. And splinters form on basically every position. Pushing people farther and farther into an extreme on said position.
Yeah. I remember being a big Bernie bro back then and when I would say I’d never vote for Hillary, well I might as well of been a Trump supporter to a lot of them. It wasn’t AS bad as now, but you definitely got a lot of shit if you didn’t fall in line.
Conservatives do this too. There’s pastors giving sermons calling you unchristian or a satanist if you dont vote republican. The difference is conservatives generally do fall in line are able to vote down the party line. Republicans hated Trump yet they supported and voted for him. Being a “never Hillary” guy puts you in the same camp as the libs you’re criticizing.
Libs are always going to be like this because liberals positions and policies are inherently more nuanced while conservative ones are all vibes based. It’s an inherent advantage that conservatism has; it doesn’t have to make sense or be perfect, just has to pass the vibe check.
redditors wont realize that the reason trump won is that the reddit left is so insufferable it pushed centrists and even moderate leftists toward the alt right.
That and the fact dems based their campaign on pandering to minorities and the reddit left.
"You dont want a 50 year old boomer with a wig inside the womens bathroom? You a fascists!!!"
It’s didn’t push anybody alt-right. Even Trump isn’t alt-right. He’s moderate-right. These terminally online loons are just so far to the left that everybody to the right of them looks alt-right.
Even on political compass quizzes, I almost always come out a liberal libertarian, but I’m an alt-right racist, fascist, Nazi with my balanced policy takes according to these buffoons.
Policy-wise, I’d make the argument that modern Democrats are moderate-right too. Democrats and Republicans both are diehard corporatists, which isn’t a Leftist tenet at all. The only difference is the Democrats pretend to be Leftists and for the people and civil rights while they secretly piss in your cornflakes and line their own pockets.
I mean in some ways, but if you actually look at Trumps policies from 2000, he’s definitely changed. He was for Universal Health Care and was pretty pro choice. Gun control and foreign policies seem pretty much in line though still.
Man, I hear that a lot as a fellow liberal libertarian.
Then they drop some random bomb, like “I support democracy, and every race should have their own nation!”
Right, 10 years ago if I heard someone was a nazi I imagined a skinhead gang member committing hate crimes. Now I assume it’s just someone who doesn’t believe women have penises
just recently we've just heard of billionaires probably having sex with children and you guys think a minority group with no political power, losing rights left and right, getting harmed, humilliated and ostracized on a regular basis while quite literally doing no harm related to their nature as human beings are the problem... I used to wonder how is it that we historically harmed black people, women and gay people so much, especially as we were learning more about what it means to be human, but now I kind of get it, some people just think compassion, tolerance and understanding is somehow idiotic.
The fact you guys still fall for this goyslop psyop in 2026 is hilarious. The current Admin is running around murdering citizens and trying to roll back gun control and you're still countering with this.
Don't be suprised when your country falls apart during its "golden age"
You mean murdering **white** citizens. An out-of-control police state didn't seem to matter nearly so much when Black Lives Matter threatened to put the breaks on Joementum. People using badges and guns to arbitrarily murder black folks is a much more consequential American tradition than uncensored speech.
There are two fatalities at this point (the female driver and the guy with the handgun,) and plenty more shootings that don't make the headlines so much. Still, it is clearly a reaction, even a media framing, inconsistent with public and corporate disinterest in preventing aggressive law enforcement violence against people who are not white.
“Goyslop”
The way that seemingly even moderate leftists have dived headfirst into antisemitism following October 7th makes it really easy to imagine how events likes the Holodomor and Great Leap Forward happened
You gotta speak to same language to get through to these people whether you believe it or not. They don't like thinking zionists are poisoning their minds.
Not just reddit, but the Twitter/Tumblr types as well. They just threw those words out like candy, and they're surprised when no one takes the label seriously anymore?
lol reddit, twitter and tumblr types, there all week agents grass type Pokemon.
labeling peoples character based on a website, is dumber than astrology
Hearing the word facist and nazi immediately puts the image of some obese woman with shitty tattoos in my head. Overused to the point that a normal person can barely take them seriously.
Yeah, I immediately just roll my eyes the second I hear a bunch of terms those people use. Intersectionality, equity, misogyny, even systemic to a lesser degree just make me zone out to whatever they're droning on about.
When I heard the Republicans were running Trump I thought a Democrat victory was a given. His Jan 6th antics really pushed a lot of people away.
But then they somehow managed to throw the whole election.
Personally I just stopped giving a shit about democracy when the Democrats announced Kamala will replace Biden with no primary vote. Democracy doesn't exist. It probably hasn't existed in the first place.
Seriously, when Trump got elected a second time, Reddit was in a fucking meltdown, I genuinely saw people saying shit like 'If you voted Trump, don't you dare vot Democrat next time, no matter how bad this country gets, because it's your fault, and we don't want people like you on our side'
I had to sit there and try to explain to people that politics is just a fucking *popularity contest* where the winner is the one who has the most votes, not who has the right morals or any of that bullshit. Trump won *purely* because more people voted for him, that's it. If you want your guy to win next time, *you need to make sure you have more votes*. And how do you get those votes?
BY PULLING IN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. You lost last time, you are in the minority in terms of votes, you urgently need to suck up to those former Republican voters and drag them over to your side by any means necessary. Offer them cookies, offer a ban on gay marriage, over them a blowjob, whatever it takes, the Democrats are only going to win by actually convincing people to vote for them which, for the last 15 or so years, they've been actively fighting *against* by calling everyone they don't like a right-wing bigot
I'm a liberal myself, and I've lost count of the amount of times I've been called a Nazi for having the most milquetoast opinions like 'maybe sometimes guns are useful' or 'maybe we shouldn't celebrate the murder of a right-wing podcaster', hell I got banned from r/ comicbooks because someone posted a drawing of Captain America fighting Nazis right after Trump won his second term, with a smug comment along the lines of 'this feels relevant right now, if you know you know...', I called it cheap karma farming, I got banned from the sub with a message from a moderator reading, quote: 'lol get fucked nazi'
Speaking as a liberal: Reddit is a fucking liberal septic tank where the absolute worst people congregate to suck themselves off about how enlightened and sueprior they are to everyone who disagrees with them
> If you voted Trump, don't you dare vote Democrat next time, no matter how bad this country gets, because it's your fault, and we don't want people like you on our side
Deal.
There was a lot of anti ICE propaganda in one of the cat subs that people were fed up with, they didn’t want to make the sub political and keep it a safe space for people tired of politics.
Mods allowed all anti ICE posts and anyone that complained about it were called Nazi bigots, even people who were liberal and wanted the sub to remain about cats were called nazis. “Can we keep American politics out of the sub? I’m not even American” “Get fucked Nazi”
And it was some of the most mundane low effort virtue signaling posts people posted to feel like they belong with the cool kids. I had to mute that sub it was so annoying, even the crochet sub is turning that way slowly.
Exactly. I got into that Dispatch game and followed the subreddit, and someone posted art of one of the characters (Flambae) murdering an ICE agent by burning him alive
Every comment was the same shit
'yeah that's accurate'
'He absoltuely would'
'Flambae is canonically an immigrant so yeah this would happen no doubt'
'ICE deserve worse than that'
'Every single superhero would be against ICE'
And I'm just sitting there the entire time thinking... this is a game about conversation choices and boobs, what the hell is happening here?
Yeah, they just don’t get it either. I’m politically independent, but most of my views would be viewed as liberal leaning. Reddit has just pushed me to be more politically independent though. The tribalism from both sides is beyond obnoxious.
If you even slightly disagree with something or don’t follow the groupthink, prepare to get brigaded. Most people on here aren’t even well informed on the topics they speak so confidently about. Is it really that hard to evaluate individual issues on their own, and maybe just say “I don’t know enough to have an opinion on that topic”, if you don’t know shit about it?
It pisses me off because I don’t want a complete moron and shit bag like Trump as president, but these people don’t realize that they are as responsible for him being president as republicans are.
> The tribalism from both sides is beyond obnoxious
I can barely talk about politics with people I broadly *agree* with anymore, much less disagree, because most people get bent out of shape over a differing point of view.
Here in the Nordics we keep a fairly simple rule, generally: don't discuss religion, money or politics with family or friends if you mean to keep them in your life.
I feel the same way, it just sucks how bad this tribalism and polarization has gotten. Nuance and asking questions are the greatest enemy to these people.
>redditors wont realize that the reason trump won is that the reddit left is so insufferable it pushed centrists and even moderate leftists toward the alt right.
This. I consider myself a right leaning independant. But mostly because the democrat party is such a pile of steaming crap at this moment.
Instead, I am considered a far right, fascist, racist, misogynist, that hates freedom.
A friend of mine who's 34 and never voted but always leaned left center told me he actually went out in the last election and voted for trump because he was so sick of being shit on for being a white male and considered racist for even existing. Democrats are their own worst enemy when it comes to driving support.
Reddit has an infinitesimally small impact on the election. If you genuinely think trump won because of *Reddit*, you need to go outside and interact with the real world. Trump won because of inflation and nostalgia for 2019 gas prices.
Bro if being annoying was really the sole reason people go to the other side Trump wouldn't have won again in 2024 after whining annoyingly for four years that he lost and started facing a minor amount of consequences. Though, keep annoyingly inserting unrelated stereotypes of trans people into your posts I wanna test your hypothesis with it.
Its not just being annoying. Its being attacked for not agreeing with everything. Its being accused of multiple things because you have a slight disagreement. If you use a little critical thinking and say "hmm. guys, shouldn't we not censor the president just because we dont like him?"
"Fuck you, Nazi, Antivaxxer, racist, f*****t"
Oh yea. Dont worry, theyre more racist than the right when it comes to DMs
the right literally attack people for existing in a "lifestyle", no disagreement even needed. just look at that conservative economist Jessica Riedle who came ou as trans. a literal right wing think tank member who changed no beliefs, got attacked with family being doxed and faced with twitter mobs melting down at them all. and then theres the conflation of legal observers with terrorists, or between celebrating Charlie Kirk being shot with having criticized him or their reaction to it before any facts were confirmed. I dont even like whichever Jimmy it was they were cancelling that time, but they totally misrepresented and overreaxted to that.
the right is so much more unhinged tyan any lib has ever been now.
Maybe, just maybe, we don't like genital mutilation enthusiasts in general, much less when they're in extremely public roles which can influence children and vulnerable people. It's such a hot button issue regarding these people sliming their way into women's spaces, taking opportunities away from actual women, and attempting to influence children, why would you expect anything different?
It's a denial of reality and an attempt to pressure random strangers into joining your LARP. That is simply a nonstarter for conversation, and I personally will not be participating. Besides, it's a simple numbers thing. The people who are rightfully disgusted with that nonsense are a hell of a lot larger portion of the population than people who partake in transgenderism. Given the choice between the two, any rational political party would never choose to support the 1% of the population playing make believe.
There's a lot of people out there that are frustrated with hearing about how "trans kids" should be given hormones and surgery, witnessing parents get emotionally blackmailed by enablers in the medical field to allow their child to undergo such an extreme and unnecessary regimen of drugs and surgery, hearing about how actual women have their spaces continuously ruined by creepy ass dudes claiming to be women, who are sick of being asked to deny what is so plainly obvious simply because the mentally ill and their enablers claim it to be so. That's a whole lot of political capital the Republicans would be missing out on by supporting that BS.
So you voted for the party pandering for the 0.01% instead? Along with pushing make believe commandments onto kids? Let me guess, you also think leftists who carry should be shot?
>So you voted for the party pandering for the 0.01% instead?
Where in the sweet fuck do you think the over a billion dollars spent on the Biden and later Harris campaign came from? Thin air?
>Along with pushing make believe commandments onto kids?
Edgy. I'm personally an atheist, and don't really see too much of that from the right these days, but it's still better than pushing hormones and surgery on em. That being said, edgy ass dickheads like you make the rest of us look bad.
>Let me guess, you also think leftists who carry should be shot?
Nah, I think the second amendment is for everyone.
It's a two party system, dude. Lots of people fall under the umbrellas of each of the parties, by necessity. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a monolith.
See, I also don't think kids should have access to hrt, but if we are forcing religion I don't see why we can't also introduce them to drag queens. Not to mention how the current administration is removing several recommended literatures for disagreeing with their policies, like to kill a mockingbird, night, etc. I think that political donations in general are sketchy, but Biden didn't outright cut their taxes while in office.
Religion doesn't permanently damage a child's body like puberty blockers do. I don't believe religion is inherently bad, but even if I grant you that, it's definitely the lesser of two evils.
Oh no, the government is controlling what books are in school libraries... Like they've literally always done! This is like, 10 9/11s.
Yeah, let's not have people in drag assure kids that being gay or trans is accepted, and instead tell them that it's a sin and encourage them to drive their LGBT classmates to suicide.
I guess I'm speaking to the party that believes school shootings are less of a priority than tax reliefs for the rich and think that children dying of preventable diseases is worth the price of not getting vaccinated or wearing a mask. But you know, think of the kids!
Also, give me one reason why books like maus and tkam should be removed from required literature, other than an attempt to further dumb down the populace. This is the same party that removed the department of education and cut a large percentage of research funding across all universities.
The core objection the right has to all LGBT is entirely religious based, which is why they undermine credible organizations and force censorship and threaten funding to get others to bend to them. The entire thing is a push to force a specific religious interpretation not even all Christians have of Biblical passages about the creation of the world. That's their entire objection and they'll rip up secularism to get it.
They're considering removing gay marriage dawg Idk what to tell you except you're wrong. It's all the same hatred, the only times they consider gay and trans different things is trying to divide and conquer lol.
Your comment is a great example of what's wrong with the left. You assume because a person believes one thing, that they believe everything else. A person says they dont give a fuck about Trans people, and you assume they are religious, gun nuts, racists, awhatever else you wanna accuse the right of being.
Its much more diverse than that.
The opposite is true as well. You attack any fellow democrat that doesnt agree with every single issue and push them out of the party.. thats what woke me up. That, plus all the media censorship.
Media censorship, I can agree with, although i would say it applies to both sides.
I find it curious that people refer to themselves as Democrats 2 elections prior while supporting the guy that is screwing the middle and lower classes while taking away constitutional rights.
If you truly find nothing wrong with what is going on with the Epstein files, ICE, personal collusion with other nations' leaders, and attempts to start foreign wars, I doubt we would have ever agreed on a majority of issues.
You don't care about women or children, your fake self righteous "edginess" is the most boring and repetitive science denial and cope the world has ever seen and the culture war that has thoroughly rotted your brain was conjured up by billionaire pedophiles. I pray God has mercy on your soul.
As someone who was conscious in 2011, the Democrats were still falsely accused of being radical communists for implementation of ObamaCare, a plan very similar to moderate Republican Mitt Romneys from when he was governor of Massachusetts. And more rank and file were swinging more towards social liberalism on gay marriage, something today's GOP openly wants repealed. And everyone but the most evangelical of this country were fine with Roe v Wade being effectively the law of the land.
The Republicans today are further right than they were, let alone where the Democrats were.
It didnt push ppl alt right. You need to get off social media. Almost no one is alt right.
It just pushed people to the center, while doing things that eroded the quality of life for 95% of people.
>You might as well say the left has a radical alt left with maniacs who do things like support marijuana legislation and less ties with Israel due to their abuses to Palestinians
Bruh, those examples are centrist compared to the actual radical alt left. Almost 80% of voters support legalizing marijuana. Most people don't care that much about Israel beyond them being our only traditional ally in a fucked up part of the world. They don't want to see them exterminated by terrorists, but that shouldn't be controversial.
The true alt left is every bit as deranged as the alt right, probably more. At least with the alt right you know what their priorities are. The alt left changes based on what dog whistle they hear that week. Unpredictability is not a positive when they want to influence policy, because next week they'll want the opposite of what they want today.
Boogie man implies scary. They're not. They're really kind of pitiful.
Chuds are ridiculously easy to organize. They literally blow r*pe whistles when they see a threat. Independent thinkers are hard to organize. A horde of zombies is not.
Literally no Dem talked about trans issues or bathrooms. You're literally listening to terminally online shit and attributing it to Dems.
Dems lost because they ran a shit campaign with unclear messaging and Americans are so god damn checked out they unironically didn't even know who was on the ballot, and they *ignored* online platforms leading up to it. Not because they were too terminally online.
Yes the Dems, totally known for pandering to far leftist. So far left the Dems in 2024 had *checks notes* the Chaneys endorse Harris.
~Over half the people that voted for Trump don't even get on reddit, hell they don't even know what reddit is. He was just perceived as the populist candidate for change.
Also half the people I know that voted for him literally just didn't want a woman as president. That was their number one concern.
Buddy, I live in a place that went for him almost 90%. Most friends or associates I have are Trumpers. We also had a black man run for governor as a Republican and he lost because these same people wouldn't vote for a black man. It is what it is.
>Also half the people I know that voted for him literally just didn't want a woman as president. That was their number one concern.
That's absolute bullshit. You're trying to use the low hanging fruit cope to deflect from the fact that the Democrat party is so devoid of candidates that mainstream America could support that they replaced a mentally deficient geriatric with an actual regard who never got a single primary vote.
Don't be pissed at voters. Evaluate how your party could possibly be so fucking stupid and work to change that.
Its not my party buddy. I'm not a dem, but nice assumption. You can read my other comments if you want to know why I think the Dems suck. But let's not act like the KKK and a bunch of other groups haven't endorsed Trump. There's a ton of these people that have been waiting for years to vote for a guy like this.
lets assume its true and i highly doubt it, trump doesnt win regardless if the other half doesnt vote for him. What about them?
Besides, if its so damn important for a sizeable portion of americans to have a man as a president, then have a male candidate. “Nooo fuck misogynists, we dont need your vote!!” and here we go.
In a democracy you have to compromise to the electoral base. Take a hard stance on most topics and this happens.
I don't disagree, but to the original point the far left does not care about who the candidate is for the Dems. The Dems push corporatist policies and use social issues to try to garner support. None of that is far left policy. Originally you were indicating that it was because Dems pander to the far left when it has never been the case.
Imo, they lost partially because they are inept and terrible at messaging. The other reason I believe they lost to Trump is because most of his voters couldn't name one policy that has benefited them from Trump, but they think he is a wild card that can stick it to the establishment. Which boils down to an education issue.
Got ya, that might be a reason, but it goes back to my other reason I mentioned. Most of them aren't educated on why they netted more or less money. They just saw him as the guy that would change the establishment.
The simple fact is that most elections are actually swung by the dumbest of voters with no real convictions.
It’s purely vibe based voting.
They’re the undecided voters who consistently prove the average reading level is at the 6th grade.
Agreed, the voting system has got to change to something like ranked choice voting, or another system that is unequivocally more fair. But that's hard pressed to happen when those in power benefit from the current system.
Do you vote in local elections?
Do you encourage capable local leaders to sacrifice for their community by running against special interest candidates?
There’s no reason to feed into the cynical rhetorical framing of conservatives.
Yes and yes, but I'm also not an optimist. I try to push for change and have even met with my local and state leaders before. I continue to fight the fight, not because I think it'll get better, but because I'm a hard headed ass hole.
Truman fucking begged Hubert Humphrey to not be a hard headed asshole at the 1948 Democratic Convention.
> To those who say, my friends, to those who say that we are rushing this issue of civil rights, I say to them we are 172 years late! To those who say this civil rights program is an infringement on states' rights, I say this: the time has arrived in America for the Democratic Party to get out of the shadow of states' rights and walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights!
I’m not giving up on my dreams of a United Federation of Planets so that Musk, Thiel & Bezo can have their Terran Empire.
Cool quote, I'm a history guy so I'll have to look more into it.
But yeah, I think it'll get better, but it'll be generations later. So I'm planting the seed so in the future others can benefit from the shade. I just don't realistically see enough changes being made in my life time.
The ethnonationalists seem hellbent on starting WWIV, and sometime centuries happen in weeks.
But yeah, if you’re a fan of political history, then you should know about the role people like Hubert Humphrey, Paul Simon & John Ehley played in the shadow of LBJ and Kennedy to really grow the progressive wing of FDR’s Democratic Party.
After Roosevelt’s loss with the Moose Party progressives were wayward, split between parties, and sidelined during the Great War. They coalesced in a coalition with urban moderates around FDR, and drove the conservatives out at the 1948 democratic convention.
In basically the same way this thread is arguing about.
Southern Democrats were mad we called them racist barbarians for celebrating public lynchings and Jim Crow laws, and went on tirades about how we should be nicer and compromise on the uncompromisable.
That coalition of progressives and urban moderates more or less lasted until Bush Sr. won on “more Reagan, and no gay liberal urban elitists who get therapy,” and then Clinton strolled in with the Third Wave Democrats who sidelined progressives and stuffed corporate special interest candidates into Congress giving us the now immortal video of Bernie telling the House in the 90’s that Clinton and Fed Chair Greenspan’s plan to deregulate the financial market would lead to an inevitable market crash and wealth consolidation (Greenspan directly references the speech in his 2006 autobiography as an example of leftist scare monger—it’s what radicalized me).
——
There’s a pattern.
I watch these 'tards act like 'tards constantly on this website alone. I have to carefully filter my feed to avoid the brunt of their insufferability. I also live in Portland, Oregon. I watch these people act like dickheads constantly. I haven't forgotten 2020, where they formed mobs and went around destroying countless people's small businesses and livelihoods for the better part of a year. They are extremely insufferable to the point of ridiculousness.
It's not all leftists to be fair. I've had reasonable interactions with a number of leftists, and some of em are cool people, but trying to deny the specifically loud portion of dickheads amongst your ranks is just ridiculous.
I don't wantch fox or any other television news. Funnily enough the most frequent news media I consume is NPR. The left is incredible insufferable. That's an opinion I've gathered straight from the source, not from other media's interpretations.
Because, as we all know, the leader’s secret police force with absolute immunity rounding up people of specific minorities who’ve been labelled as “threats to (the nation’s/preferred peoples’) way of life”, regardless of legality, throwing them in unmarked vans and either allowing them to die in custody or be shipped to foreign prisons otherwise outside of national control, and killing protesting civilians in broad daylight against legal processes and federally recognised rights, all while teetering on the edge of invading one’s neighbors for bullshit reasons and putting world order in the most turmoil it’s seen since the last world war is just NOTHING like Germany in the 1930s. No similarities between those two whatsoever. None to be found even if you squint your eyes.
I keep trying to say this.
First of all, fuck trump.
But secondly, if you can't produce a candidate capable of beating Donald fucking Trump, then what the fuck are you doing? Call it circular reasoning, but the fact that they lost to trump is proof that they deserved to lose to trump
Being fiscally and socially conservative, having a career, and raising a traditional nuclear family is now considered countercultural for young people. Never would've imagined that even a decade ago.
They're killing their ideology through natural selection, it's hilarious. I love the ones that are like "lgbtqia++#&& for Gaza". Meanwhile they would through them off a building in the middle east
There is truth to this, I’m left leaning but don’t really like to identify as such because the majority of the left online is absolutely fucking insufferable.
I'd rather vote for the guy who thinks I'm a useful idiot than the guy who calls me a nazi. They're both going to fuck me over, but at least the former guy won't make me listen to his moral grandstanding while he does it.
Why would the Nazis be voting for an Israel supporter? Killing jews is kinda the central tenet of Nazi ideology, so a Nazi would be in support of Palestine and their terrorist government.
i will tell only if you answer my riddles three:
1. I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?
2. What has keys but can’t open locks?
3. What gets wetter the more it dries?
Of course they're not the same, there are key differences between the two parties. The Elephant thinks 18 people should run this country and everyone else can eat shit and die. The Ass demands 9 of those people be women and 2 of them black, in the name of diversity.

Yes, so was Bill. And who knows who else, we've still got a lot more to see. Not to mention all the politicians like Joe who didn't need the island because they can just commit sexual assault on the mainland.
Are both of those people equally evil? Which one of them supports trans rights and which erodes them? So you vote for the one that wants to get rid of you personally, but at least they call you an idiot to your face?
I’m not disagreeing with you on that lmao. I’m just saying “I’d rather support pedophile X because pedophile Y’s supporters hurt my feelings” is a copout from taking any actual moral stance
Such a great example of how bad the hyper individualism in American culture has reigned absolute havoc upon this nation's political views. Oh no, the blue guy called you a meanie? So your reaction to that is to vote in a retarded billionaire pedophile? What a joke. And the nerve that conservitards have to call liberals the bigger pussies
😭 what? That you struggle with people calling you out for shitty behavior and actions? Instead of digging yourself deeper, you could simply think really long and hard about why so many people agree and consider the things you are saying and or doing as shitty
You prove their point by example better than they did by pointing it out.
It really is amazing how abrasively condescending you are while being a single 28 year old with no accomplishments.
And what point is that exactly? That libs are too pretentious? Wow, that's sooo much worse than having a bunch of incompetent racist pedophiles in office. I really really really really need someone in office that doesn't heccin melt my little snowflake self, fuck the economy, social programs, and the environment, it's all about how they make me feel!!!
Your user is familiar, and you know how old I am, but clearly nothing else about me. Ever think that maybe I'm condescending **to bitter lonely retards** that haven't done anything in their lives because I once was one, but no longer am?
Oh yeah dude we've definitely argued before. I remember you saying the exact same dog shit cop out response. Like get over it I guess, if you can't take a little bit of heat get out of the kitchen. I'll say it again, this is a reddit comment thread, it's not a Socratic seminar. I've made my point pretty damn clear a few times now, so respond with something of substance or leave it be please
Normie is crazy. Bro I can guarantee you that I was on pol before you. Then it became filled with bitter trash that can't back up and stand by their views and instead just fling names around instead. Moral grandstanding is when people call you out for shitty behavior btw. Go ahead, do your little friend a favor and explain why I'm wrong
It also helps them to say:
\- Men are women, women are men, there is no difference.
\- Half the country is a threat to democracy.
\- There is no inflation when there is 8.0%+ inflation.
\- Supporting the mass killings in Gaza (I am pro-Israel, but that was too much).
\- Supporting mass censorship.
\- Masks aren't useful, masks are useful, masks are not useful.
\- Forced experimental drugs on people; having tens of thousands fired from their private sector jobs if they refuse.
\- Supporting the lockdown their states, then going to other states to party.
\- Open border policy.
\- Begging dictators for oil.
\- Allowing multiple wars to happen.
That is just what I could remember off the top of my head.
Everyone I know that voted for Trump is happy with him. They voted for him, knowing he would occasionally piss them off or say some stupid shit, but overall hes been a positive for them
Literally had a close friend marry a liberal and move to Maine away from his family and friends. Knew forever that I was a republican and our other close friend doesn't believe in voting and hates politics. Never was a problem. As soon as Trump got elected, he wouldn't talk to me obv b/c I was a republican, and the other guy b/c what was "happening in the USA" was his fault too, because he didn't vote. I get it, I was "the enemy", the other guy just didn't really give a shit but became the enemy b/c he doesn't care about voting. Now he has no friends or family, and his wife talks openly on facebook about being in love with other women (the friend who excommunicated us is a dude, if it wasn't already clear). Of course, he is still married to her. Literal brain rot.
This is how I feel as someone who doesn't give a shit about politics and had someone tell me this irl that is also unfortunately a redditor. It gave me a much different view of liberals in general.
You can cope by spewing lies all you want but you are demented evil mfs that destabilized every single country for sex trafficking, sexpat destination or economic loot and your top demon laid out all the evidence for us to see it.
It’s stupid but their logic is that being “non-political” is support for the status quo (true) and everything to the right of actual socialism is “right wing” (not true) so if you support the status quo you are a right winger.
You mean refusing to meaningfully engage with arguments against their ideology results in people being unwilling to support them and more susceptible to the right
Online rightoids love this one, as if voting for a megalomanic rapist pedophile for **president of the United States** is somehow appropriate recourse to the dogshit that redditors and muh SJWs spew online. Imagine caring that much about what those losers think all the while acting like you don't. It's incredibly fucking retarded

After seeing everyone cheer for Charlie Kirk's death, it's pretty obvious that anyone right-of-center deserves to die in the eyes of terminally online leftists. Your comment was likely made disingenuously.
Name 1 prominent figure in politics or media on the left/Democrats that cheered for Kirk's death that isn't a random psycho on Twitter (you will never do this).
"You need conservatives to be afraid of getting killed when they go to events." — Destiny
Please don't bother citing any right wingers calling for violence because I already agree with those quotes. I just can admit it, whereas most left wingers keep up a high-and-mighty facade.
That is him referencing the fact that right wingers are not afraid of inciting violence with no consequences.
The literal full quote of that exact sentence is an analogy of someone with a gun firing in a crowd of people, if they have no fear of getting shot themselves they become very dangerous. A healthy fear of violence is good, a civil war is not fun for anyone, the problem is the right apparently has no fear of that.
"The quote you provided didn't actually throw a party and celebrate Kirk's death, it just said that he deserved to be shot in the neck and killed. That's not cheering, chud. And that quote actually has a lot of context that doesn't really change the fundamental meaning at all."
Never expect a good faith argument from a Destinoid.
It literally doesn't say that at all, lmao you are making things up, ignoring everything I said, and saying I'm the bad faith one. Ok dud, have a good one
Ah yes the dude who asked for a quote of a prominent figure on the left who cheered for Kirk’s death is splitting hair for a own and not the dude who clapped back with going on his profile to see his recent subs, go the influencer’s sub he lurks and using destiny saying conservatives need to be afraid of getting shot so they don’t say stupid shit that gets them shit?
And then literally quote a wall of text the dude didn’t even type remotely or imply?
Which is even worse since that’s not him cheering and pretty sure if anything he multiple times disavowed him getting kirked even if you want to soy out about a clearly bad faith interpretation
Genuinely remarkable man, how are you this slow im so curious. Is it a partisan thing or are you normally like this generally?
You think the left cheered, I asked for a quote that shows it. I was given some mental gymnastics attributed to the absolute edgiest option they could find. Even if I grant it, I can still give 5 examples from prominent people in power on the right to match it, and this is the only (very bad) example you can give. You know I am right lol, trying to reduce it to splitting hairs is a massive cope
> prominent figure
I’m more worried about the thousands of average Joes celebrating than some mouth piece politician. Not even sure why you thought that was some gotcha
Same, every MAGA person in politics or media, from Elon Musk down to Libs of TikTok were calling for civil war immediately while every single person on the left from Biden down to Hamas piker immediately condemned it.
My problem with Reddit right now is that every sub feels the need to take down their guide rails to turn every sub into a political sub.
I don’t care that pics or news or whatever other main subs get astroturfed every single day, I don’t care when new subs pop up suspiciously out of nowhere parroting propaganda, that’s been SOP for closing in on a decade, but it’s annoying when every hobby sub and niche interest sub feels like they need to take out the rules that made it an interesting place to visit and discuss your hobby because “well this is just too important”. You cannot put that genie back in the bottle and it makes the sub shittier and closer to the rest of the Reddit hive mind
I’ll talk politics on here on politics subs or main subs if I feel like doing wasting my time but I’d like to avoid that when I’m looking at my sports team or a fantasy book or TV show that has remarkably little to do with contemporary politics. Sometimes I just want to learn about/discuss some dumb shit without contemporary politics being shoved into it
The man has US Citizens with the wrong skin color in literal concentration camps, and you’re worried about your hobby?
Fascist take overs are more important than your little niche hobby.
100%. It can be the most non political hobby ever and someone will post the most virtue signaling, left wing post not even related to the hobby or topic and the mods will post something like “Banning all these fascists in these comment sections keep it up!” And it just people saying “can we not make this sub political”. Than you’ll have comments like “if you didn’t know this hobby wasn’t left wing than you’re dumb”
Your family probably has to have a chat before inviting you to family gatherings.
Its funny. The most political people are usually those who have fucked up lives in some way.
Non political ppl are often those who work on their immediate circumstances and have their shit in order.
Sure, in the same way everything is physics and all relationships are sociology and psychology, but we dont shoehorn that into every discussion.
Focus on your own life for a bit. Fix your own shit, and then maybe people will want to listen to your opinion on how larger things should be fixed.
I disagree in several ways. Politics does not have to be an opinion on how things should be fixed, it could just be voicing dissatisfaction with how things currently are. Figuring out how to fix things is a politicians job, not mine.
You definitely do not need to have your life figured out to see that the system is not working
I have greatly benefited from capitalism. I live in a rich country. I would prefer that we don't exploit millions of people to afford my lifestyle
I mean I'm young and figuring things out, but I'm in a relationship, I live in my own apartment, I go to university and have a job, and I do sports in my free time.
I just don't think it's relevant to the discussion
So youre in school, young, everything likely subsidized by loans or parents, trying to lecture the world about how it should be?
Conveniently leaving out any shit thats not together of yours?
K
No school is subsidized by my government. The fact that you even assume that someone in school has to be covered by their parents or loans is a system failure in my opinion.
By your premise, who is allowed to criticize the system?
So, if I'm an orphan who's been passed around a few abusive foster families, and I want to critizise the system, I'm not allowed to because I'm "still on tutorial island"? Where do you draw the line?
Depends what part of the system they care criticizing.
If its parts they have experience with, sure.
But no one will listen to them about economic policy.
So your position is that only people who have personal experience in a field, should be able to have an opinion about said field? Anyone else should be disregarded?
What if I got my opinion from listening to people who have experience?
So you've figured it all out is what you're saying? And I should listen to you based on that? You could just make a convincing argument instead of falling back on "I am older than you"
Sure, you might have.
But the fact that you put value in swaying peoples opinions means its more likely they just placated you to make you less volatile.
sure, in the same way that all fiction can be related to math and physics if you realy want to, but if i went to a movie sub reddit and saw people talking about how they hate X theoretical mathematician, i would call 'em dumb.
Experience life, good and bad, before you criticize it.
No one wants a young sheltered person who hasnt worked for what they have to lecture them about how the world should be.
What is this discussion even about anymore?
Are you telling me that my opinions do not hold value in the eyes of the people in my life? Because I don't have a full time job? This is so weird
You don't know whether people care about my opinions. Why is everything a personal attack?
You have no idea what I have experienced or have knowledge of. Why are you trying to argue about my personal life?
It's definitely not how discussions are supposed to work, you just make weird claims about my social life that you have no way of proving, and I have no way of disproving. It's an exhausting way of arguing, and I am not surprised that your experience tells you that people dread talking politics with you
Dude, you immediately told me that no one likes to talk to me irl, and that my parents have to have a talk with me every time we attend family gatherings. You attacked me immediately
Didnt say they had a talk with you. Meant they had to have a talk with eachother about whether or not to invite you.
And you sank right down here with me to my level.
Was more hoping you might reflect on whether the way you lecture people like they are toddlers on things they don't want to discuss with you is fruitful or not.
Sure, technically everything has a political aspect, but most people have other stuff going on in their lives that they gain joy from that they'd rather discuss.
Politics is volatile, and discussing them with people like you is especially volatile.
You've been lecturing me like I'm a toddler this entire conversation? Your only argument is that I'm a "kid". Do you argue in ways other than projection?
If you think thats my only argument after I just laid it out for you plainly, then your ego defense mechanisms are working overtime.
I'd recommend you re-read, but you're so hurt and insecure right now that you can only think of hurting the apparent source of these feelings.
You should know. You dont feel so strongly towards me because im an ass, even though I am. You feel so strongly because it lands in a part of you that knows its at least partly true.
Have you considered that this exact sentiment is remarkably fucking annoying and a cop out to try and force partisan discourse in every single space all the time?
There is a reasonable allowance of ‘political’ discourse just as a matter of the realities of the interaction of culture and politics, most people don’t care about that. What this sentiment is usually used to push is allowing partisan contemporary politics into every discussion rather than having it be a place focused on discussing the generally nonpartisan hobby at hand.
Many shows and movies (and history) are so inherently political and commenting on the modern world that it has to come up but not everything is like this and it’s annoying that a place that has little to do with modern politics also gets co-opted into it.
I think I totally agree with you? I don't think everything has to be partisan, but the political situation today does not seem to allow for bipartisanship
Maybe worse than that are the subs that completely lock down anything related to politics, even when it's relevant. You can't even mention tariffs in the cars subreddit ^((the word was literally an autoremoval at one point)^) despite that being one of the biggest topics in the industry. Comment sections on some articles are a complete wasteland, or insta-locked, because we have to pretend price increases, relocating production, and project cancellations are all just happening at random without outside influence.
Good. There's plenty of places to discuss that stuff, while it may be relevant to the topic at hand, as another user in this thread said, 'there's no putting that genie back in the bottle.' How do you separate between an acceptable level of politics without being either extremely arbitrary, or letting your sub turn into a constant shitfest? Better to just nip it in the bud.
They've been trying to turn the NFL meme subs into anti-ICE meme subs lately. Because, you know, there isn't anywhere else on Reddit to talk about ICE.
That was where I started to get annoyed and found it to be a little more annoying than your average Reddit cancer.
I enjoyed the shit talk in the meme war subs and it turning into Fuck ICE karma farming was annoying
No I do feel this way. My mom is a partisan person to the point of not watching certain movies and TV (or even sports) shows not because of the content of them but because the actor or director or whatever is too woke or whatever. That sentiment is annoying as hell to me.
I don’t want right wing propaganda when I’m looking at Dark Souls lore because it pushes away a left wing person who also just loves Dark Souls. Partisanship can crack a community that otherwise could be a good place to talk and share interesting things you’ve learned but you might not do that with a community where political disagreement discourages that kind of exchange
I would be down for americans to talk politics if they didn't jumped to extremes all the time
Ignoring the little caveat that adequate spaces are created because it sets an enviroment that allows discussion, people casually talking politics here are not actually talking, they are fishing for validation, herd mentality
It's quite simple to summarize their current situation at a superficial level, but one would expect natives to engage with their internal problems in meaningful honest ways instead of posting the nth "tRumP bAd" meme and patting themselves for how brave and smart they are
There's a constant joke about Reddit being an echo chamber but people here saying everything is political forget that quite quickly. Echo chambers will always be detrimental, no matter it's ideological inclination
Talking about politics it's useless when those discussion are dumb as shit, but they will keep at it because fuck people wanting to share silly memes or shitpost about movies
being apolitical usually means you have no problems in life and don’t really care about others’ issues, which are both indicative of upper-middle class conservatism, so yeah this is correct
Not that I agree, but it's not that.
Right wing=conservative=status quo.
Non political=status quo.
Non political=status quo=right wing
Is what they're going for.
Most people who are non political are content with the status quo while most conservatives want change to happen, repealing changes that we’ve made to go back to the norms of an earlier time period
It appears the current status quo is brown people living in fear of being deported to a country they never lived and the entire state of Minnesota living in fear of ice potentially just deciding you no longer get to live lol. If people are fine with that status quo, then I'd be pretty comfortable calling them right wing
Yeah, I don't know how you can see the mass deportations while choosing to ignore them and not expect to be called right wing. I'm sure social change comes from minding your own business...
The problem tends to be what they consider supporting the status quo. Key word here is supporting. They consider non engagement supporting their enemies. For example, a random who doesn't use social media but works in the local factory fir the past 40 years. Or a farmer who doesn't even have internet. Supporting the status quo
Thats the general foolishness of the position. You've turned someone into your enemy who wasn't even playing the game.
Which gets even stupider cause that means. If they were in power. They'd consider those examples supporting them and would have no issues with them. I really shouldn't need to explain how stupid this is.
The current trump administration is anything but pro status quo
Especially compared to Biden so this is very wrong although I’m sure the reddit leftist believe in it very hard
Yeah, you’re right.
The radicalized demonization of the Democratic Party by republicans to justify preventive violence and foment domestic terrorism is extremely problematic.
Fascist regimes rely on ordinary "meh to everything" folk. If they have no opinion whatsoever on genocide, oppression and whatnot then they'll be used as frontline soldiers of whatever mass murder campaign for whomever is in charge.
God, STFU. You people with your faux moral grandstanding are insufferable. “Trump is a pedophile.” Alright, so are the Clintons, some of the primary leaders of Trump’s opposition. You’re not convincing anybody when your shit stinks just as bad if not worse.
That said, if Trump is guilty, I sincerely hope the full weight of the law and then some comes down on his head. Same with the Clintons, same with anybody else associated.
I doubt you’ll say the same though, because “Reps evil, Dems good.” Fuck off.
Youre not laughing, youre seething lmao trying so hard to not seem mad never works. Just stop.
Also "whatabout Clinton biden", nobody gives a fuck you dumb hick lmao lock them all up. Oh no, that ruins your whole argument! Rightoids STILL using whatboutisms like they mean anything is making my sides hurt 😂
Nope, you cant, because the extent of your influence is the vote you cast to choose between the pedophiles each side chose to represent you. Im sure Bernie or someone like that could have been a good leader, or at the very least different, but good people, by definition, dont have what it takes to get to a position where people can vote for you
It, along with every other logical fallacy, is all the republicans really have anymore. Hard to come up with genuine and solid arguments when you’re so undeniably on the wrong side of history.
It’s okay that Trump’s a pedo because the Clintons are too? I don’t have some weird loyalty to Bill Clinton like MAGA does for Trump, Bill should in prison along with everyone else that went to Epstein’s island. I’m not in some weird cult where my Leader can do nothing wrong. I’m not even a democrat.
It just means that theres tons of centrists who are too cowardly to say their extreme rightwing beliefs. Thats literally it.
How did you retards not understand that? Lol anon put a reductionist spin and yall ran with it lmao
this is what happens when one side takes politics way too seriously, I always hear leftists talk about "your political opinions are your morals and blah blah blah" bro just let me believe in state enforced fat camps, it's not like it'll ever happen.
You don't care about having to choose between 1 AIPAC or the other AIPAC chosen president.
They will both inflate the money,continue the endless wars, kill innocent brown people all over the world in the hundreds of thousands.
But you get to cosplay as Karen the great to try to take down ICE so you can feel like your innocent in the slaughter of all the other brown people you've voted to kill and give Zionists more power and money.
But yes, the non-voters that don't want to join the 2 cults are the idiots that want a whole new set of politicians that we can't ever get cause they are hellbent on their political tribalism.
All the commenters here: Redditors larping as 4channers who hate reddit but are chronically on reddit all day because they require constant head pats from the echo chambers they swear they hate. I picture most of you here having to be hit at the age of 10 after trying for your mother's nipple one last time, then having to be pried off her leg right before going to your room to wear her lipstick as joker makeup. Too cringe for life, too needy for 4chan.
"I am a pedo racist, I want to send my untrained, masked militia around cities where they shoot and beat up people"
"I want to stop the pedo racist!"
"Both sides are wrong" <- You right now

It's both true and based.
Global rise of fascism everywhere pretending not to notice or calling yourself non political means you are just going to let the fascists take over.
Yeah then you're one of em.
>not participating is not only the same thing as participating, but is the same thing as support
See, I personally tend to avoid politics because it leads to mental retardation like this
Newsflash. Most people are "non political" because being political nowadays means adopting extremist positions like fascism, communism and libertarianism.
Most people do not, in fact, want the status quo to change because the status quo needs to be fixed, not dismantled at its very root and replaced by the irreconcilable ideological polarization that caused 2 world wars.
In conclusion, touch grass.
I voted for the Libertarian candidate, and strongly dislike both the Democrats and the Republicans. But I see no reason to lie about my enemies' actions.
ICE in particular, and law enforcement in general, can be held accountable without dismantling the state.
Being against ICE isn't an "anti-regime" position, because there's politicians in both camps actively campaigning to decrease their power or even dissolve the ICE institution completely.
And that's just bypassing the reason ICE even exists to begin with. Why do you think there's people who support ICE? Do you think they're all just ignorant, raving racists? Do you see no issues with unmonitored, uninhibited illegal immigration? Do you think border security is an extremist position?
"being political" does not mean adopting extremist ideologies. If you have any convictions about the way the world should be, you have political beliefs.
In conclusion, you're retarded.
I'm not political and vote democrat. I just generally don't give a shit about politics and have no interest in ever talking about them. I don't make them my identity and generally don't let them decide who I'm friends with or interact with or whatever-- unless they are also annoying dickheads who make their political affiliation their whole personality.
Politics are for the the lowest common denominator type of idiot who doesn't have any real interests
Gramsci was literally one of them. He called everyone who disagreed with his extreme views a fascist, even fucking Don Sturzo was called as one, and with that pushed people toward literal fascism.
History repeats, always.
I’ve been called all kinds of things and it didn’t push me toward doing any of them. It’s just an excuse people use. If you become a fascist because someone called you it, you were looking for a reason to become one anyway.
Imagine doing that for anything else. “People called me gay online so I just had to start sucking cock. They pushed me to being gay because they called me gay, I wouldn’t have become gay if they hadn’t called me it!”
\>sucking cock is equivalent to no longer being part of a group with people who hate you and refuse dialogue with you
why do people leave the left?
truly a mystery
>have a viewpoint
>people call you names
>change your stance on everything because your feelings are hurt
why do right wingers constantly move the goalpost?
truly a mystery
It’s not equivalent to that at all. Becoming a fascist because someone called you a fascist is equivalent to becoming gay because someone called you gay.
You already had fascist tendencies or were already gay if that’s all it took.
Why do people like to become extremists for the status quo when they’re told they’re passively enabling the status quo, truly a wonder of individual freedom, or a demonstration of the effects of media mindrape
Because everyone has some political wievs, even your boomer grilling dad stereotype believes in like, NYMYism, or something. If someone says they have no beliefs AT ALL it means that what they truly believe is some sick, repulsive bullshit that would get them ostracized in polite society.
Yes, and that's usually because what they believe is some obscene bullshit that would get them ostracized in polite society. There is no logical reason to not express normal wievs like ,,I think illegal immigrants should be deported", or ,,I think trans people deserve acceptance and respect" if it's the topic at hand. The only opinions people would actively avoid bringing up are out of the Overton window. Most people with such repulsive beliefs are right-wingers.
Most people with repulsive beliefs are extremists, it's comically delusional to think that's restrained to either side of the compass.
We've been having riots every day for like the past month because some people are fervently against deportations.
Not wanting your life to be dominated by politics, not wanting to obsess over it every waking moment and talk about literally nothing else, is not obscene or repulsive. You in particular might avoid discussions because of your repulsive beliefs, but that doesn't mean everyone does.
The original post is silly and wrong. I think where theyre coming from though is that a lot of centrist/non-political people let everything slide or try to find middle points with one side being an extreme so it fucks up the other
Jesus so many bootlicker reactionary bullshit takes in this thread. Take responsibility for your idiocy, you fucking millennial, starting with why you voted for Trump a second time.
I think if you call yourself non-political but you care more about reddit leftists insulting you vs right-wing government officials openly admitting they want to remove rights, you probably aren’t actually non-political
I think the point their trying (and failing) to make is that apathy is consent. By actively deciding to participate you are consenting to all the heinous shit one side or the other does. If Side A does "Terrible Thing #1" and under non political circumstances you know that "Terrible thing #1" is objectively bad/morally corrupt/etc, yet you ignore it because you "don't get political", you are giving Side A tacit approval to continue doing that thing.
Sorry dumbass.
Normalizing people being executed in the streets of the US by a masked government "police" force does do alot to help the Trump-wing, yes.
No normal person would be okay with that.
Maybe they mean a version of 'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing'
Falsely attributing that to malice is highly regarded though
"X is right wing"
"oh so you're calling us evil nazis now"
??? that's literally not what he said. I dont even necessarily agree with the original comment, but they just said "right wing".
When you sit by and don't care about the rules being blatantly broken you're tacitly approving. Are you all incapable of minor filling in the blanks? Do you take everything everywhere at face value all of the time or just political opinions you don't like?
I'm "non Political" because the only meaningful way to change things outside of my immediate vicinity is killing the people responsible.
There's no point arguing or follow day politics because things are too bad and too calcified for nonviolent change at this point.
What many don't realize is that this is the equivalent of "the boys" racist group chats. Difference being that this is just not a good point to make outside of your echo chamber, where as those group chats stay private for a reason
Everything is political, chuddy. But only ahout the things I care about, because those are the only relevant subjects.
If you do nothing while [current leaders] are in power, that means you totally support them....because, it just does.
