    I never claimed Gladue, Canada has utopian equality, actually. I couldn’t even point it out on a map. As another user pointed out, leftism ADVOCATES and works towards those ideals, which very clearly was what I was saying in context. If you had a functional frontal lobe, this might be an easier conversation for you. Maybe iron out the dent in your brain before trying to tackle big conversations, lil fella

    What point were you trying to make exactly, that your panties get twisted when centrists and the fascists they enable are rightfully called out? Again, not my responsibility to tolerate your intolerance.

    If you’re going to keep pestering me demanding an apology, I’ll save you some time and tell you that you won’t get it. Go to a fascist forum if you want validation that the left are a bunch of meanie extremists for advocating basic human rights.

    We’re assuming you’re a centrist because you’re very clearly trying to hold the exact position that the OP meme is mocking. My sarcasm is on point here because such a position is foolish and worthy of ridicule, and the hyperbole does an excellent job of pointing out the blatant falsehood of the entire political spectrum being equal.

    I have no obligation to entertain right-wing viewpoints, give them a platform, or respect anyone who thinks they are worth consideration. In fact, I have an obligation to the do the exact opposite in defense of the victims of those viewpoints coming to fruition.

    My advice would be to get off the fence and grow a thicker skin. No one likes centrists, especially whiny ones who think they’re above reproach or consequence.

    So when you get rightfully criticized, your response is to cry that all of your criticisms are made up and that everyone besides you is wrong and has a bad attitude

    If everyone you meet is an asshole, maybe you’re the asshole instead. But having that epiphany would involve you dropping that iconic “better than you” smugness that centrists love so much and giving a fuck about other people instead

    Thank God a brave centrist was willing to come here to criticize the left and defend the right to protect us from evil socialist extremism.

    Please, oh holy enlightened central one, tell us the errors of our thinking. Is it our sins of universal healthcare, anti-genocide, and equal rights for all?

    Please, oh please, do sermon us on the benefits of the right like unregulated capitalism, environmental destruction, and thought policing



  • A brand new account claiming that a blurry row res photo of 10% of someone’s face is evidence of murder, and lying that the patsy confessed (Luigi and his defense team have plead not guilty, and the case is ongoing) to try and bolster their weak position

    Friendly reminder that MAGA and the feds know what the fediverse is and try to push propaganda here just like every other social media


  • "I’m going to aggressively call anyone talking about a widely known issue with American Healthcare a bullshit spewing liar!

    Waaaah why am I being downvoted waaaah I fucking hate you socialists and your facts, you’re all ignorant dipshits even though you just proved I’m the ignorant one!"

    As an American leftist, the above is the majority of my countrymen and it is fucking embarrassing and exhausting to live alongside them. It is incredibly frustrating how well our government has convinced the average person in this country to vehemently fight against their own wellbeing. The number of people I’ve come across who claim to be left politically but then call socialism the extreme right is just mind-boggling. It’s like they think other countries are just actual make believe and that the US is the only functional country on the planet

    Aww, someone is grumpy that their weak attempt to make me seem like a violent racist backfired

    Go back to reddit if you want to get mountains of upvotes for saying Kirk was a champion of the people. We don’t do fascism here.

    I’m not going to presume to know what a black man assassinated by white supremacists would think about his people still being murdered and treated as second class citizens for the color of their skin, and resurgence of racism in America just shy of 60 years after his tragic killing. Though I’d have to think he’d be appalled at how controversial it is to call for a swift end to those perpetrating it.

    What I do know is Kirk is quoted saying that black people had unsufficent brain power to hold positions of leadership in society and that the civil rights movement was a mistake.

    The fact that you think both of these people and their viewpoints deserve equal defense and respect says a lot more about you than it does me.

    Prominent leftist ideology and writers don’t glorify gun ownership or turn them into identity pieces, but they absolutely do see their value for attaining and protecting rights. A lot more leftists own guns than people realize, they just don’t advertise it to threaten and intimidate like fascists do. Many of our rights and freedoms only came about because people were willing to actually fight for them. This is a famous Marx quote: Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

    There’s no putting the cat back in the bag, so we may as well regulate their access and provide education and training for their use before they can be owned, as well as how to effectively avoid their use in the case of defense, and mitigate the damage in the aftermath of their use.

    “I’m a staunch ally of Kirk’s abuse victims. I just also happen to believe that Kirk deserved a long safe life without violence so that he could effectively develop the propaganda justifying their genocide!”

    At worst, you’re a fascist agitator trying to stir the pot in a leftist space for entertainment. At best, you’re a whiny limp-dick centrist who will throw anyone under the bus to make yourself look like some holier than thou moralist. Either way you’re enabling the regime and I’d mourn your death about as much as I do Kirk’s
