Here’s the problem: the one with the purple hair wants civil rights and safety, and the one with the red hat wants to punch the one with the purple hair repeatedly. Can’t really compromise like that. Need to fight red hat and billionaire at the same time, which is bullshit.
I always thought this meme was directed at right wing working class people because the left is already fighting the class war while also defending civil rights against “culture warriors”
Ok but that’s a reductive view of human beings. Average MAGA folks are uneducated and propagandized, but they aren’t evil and viewing them as such feeds into the culture war.
You need to construct a vision of society that allows both to succeed. Everyone is struggling these days and you need to construct a society that values all people.
I don’t think they are all evil, but they seem to vote for the evil politicians and evil policies that direct hate at the people they don’t understand. Every single time…

wow, I guess you should tell them to stop being dicks instead of coming to leftwing spaces and telling us to hug the bullies.
Lol I’m a leftist. If you want to be productive, you can’t push everyone out. You have to find common ground. Our society is breaking. Communism has plenty to offer most MAGA people. They just need to see it.
I’m trying. They are so close. Their whole brains are full of conspiracies of elites trying to destroy Western Civilization and they are so so close to class consciousness.
The only way out of this is to vote blue no matter who, but a lot of so-called communists would refuse the call, and that’s why we’re losing. We’re not only divided by left and right, the left itself is being intentionally splintered by bad actors. The left needs to come together, play politics, remove Republicans from office, and only then will real impactful progressive reform be possible.
That’s not what they’re saying at all. Go look into some of MLKs teachings. Kindness and being gentle, in duality with an aggressive force like Malcom X was at the time, is how we win this fight.
There are those of us fighting the peaceful fight and those of us fighting the violent fight (Thank you Adjuster).

The point isn’t to cede ground and compromise with them. The point is to try to show them that they’ve been duped about who their enemies are. It might still take some time to deprogram them, but if we could at least get them to put that all on hold and focus on the class issue, maybe we can actually get somewhere instead of spinning in circles.

Also, the one with the red hat is probably fine with the billionaires.
Certainly, he’s just one good idea away from being one himself!

Some are dumb, some are evil. Some are both, but none are neither.

I’m not pushing anyone out; I’m pushing OP (and you) to proselytize to the right wing and MAGA people.

Why do you think they became bullies?
I don’t care.

It is impossible for me to both have rights(one sides goal), and not have rights(the other sides goal)

There’s also a good chance that one or both is a troll online.
