Cancel culture!

The only thing I'm proud of when looking at gen Z is that they are completely unwilling to go to war for the military complex and giving their life fighting a battle where they have nothing to gain but everything to lose. That's way smarter than my generation or the baby boomers ever were.

Centrists - making the world a friendlier place for fascism since forever.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 11 months ago (11 children)

Centrist is picking and choosing from each side, not doing a little of everything.

I'm also picking and choosing from each side, which is why I'm a leftist. Does that make me a centrist?

Just a little casual genocide, nothing major, some dead LGBT folk here, some dead minorities there... normal stuff. Just wanna grill.

Interesting how everyone seems to think this tweet from 2018 seems to refer to th situation in Gaza in 2023.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Right?! When I posted it, I was making a statement about enlightened centrism and not even thinking about the Gaza situation. Instead of genocide you can insert any morally abhorrent thing that should not be tolerated. But I get why people think it's related, it's on everyone's mind. Thank you for noticing though.

To be fair, the situation in Gaza isn't new and was probably the same in 2018

I can't believe someone with an anime profile picture isn't spouting bigoted nonsense.

[–] zurohki 23 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I usually see anime profile pics submitting code to Linux open source projects.

That's because it's a Nichijou anime profile picture. That's a green flag in my book.

Ha, you activated my trap card. I play not-so controversial opinion. Flavor text, "Biden is center right."

Are you 'murican? I don't think the rest of the world agrees on any of the US's "definitions" of left, right and liberal. From a European POV, the US democrats are really, really far to the right. Sanders might be leaning toward the center. The republicans are a strange mixture of libertarian regarding economical matters and very very right-wing/intrusive on personal matters. Whenever someone even mentions/comments other people's sexual orientation and identity I automitcally assume they are creep that wants to sniff other people's bedsheets. How can you be partly libertarian and also creepily nazi-intrusive? US-republican invention I can't wrap my head around, that is.

i hate to break it to you, but there are a lot of leftists that are very comfortable with genocide.
