I'm left wing but this is the most auto-felating post I've ever seen.

Honestly people who make memes about either political side are stupid. Personally the left and right label is out-datedIMO and just hurting further evolution of society. Almost like they want us fighting over stupid memes instead of actually facing the real problem.

Oh, look... a centrist.

Yawn.

Lol thats an even worse label IMO. I have extreme ideas lol but I'm not with this whole left vs right ideaology it doesnt help fuck all

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Lol I understand it perfectly its just dumb and needs to change. I will participate in the system but I strongly disagree with everything and will continue to voice my anger and disagreement with the fucking world. I vote, I strike, I volunteer, I go to city planning meetings for god sake. I know what im talking about, I'm trying to make a change dude.

This constant squabbling over things that really dont matter in the end is fucking insane. We all see the politicians promise the world and deliver nothing yet we continue to play the game. The amount of times they have proved corruption is part and parcel of the system should be enough to tell you what they really want. I am just trying to point out there is another way. We dont have to play the game they dictate.

What is ignorant and sadly very human is assuming this is it.

Can we all agree to stop using terms like political left and political right in such wide context? There are a lot of complicated issues considered to be political, and using aforementioned terms is just oversimplification. There is no need for all of this, it just helps dishonest people. There is even scientific study showing impact of labeling of different proportions es left or right.

No.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

This is exactly the kind of nuance that the meme is referencing!!!

I think it's valid to talk about left and right (in addition to other labels with more detail) as long as we have a two-party system. But I also agree that the tenancy to oversimplify everything only helps the religions fascists and the capitalists that manipulate them.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

as long as we have a two-party system.

So, like most of the liberals on here, you don't actually understand why we even have such concepts like "left" and "right."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's quite a statement, stranger. Amazing how you know so much about me from that one comment.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That’s quite a statement, stranger.

No. It isn't. It's a pretty damn mundane one.

The only way you can see anything left in the right-wing racketeering "two-party system" is if you don't have the foggiest idea what left and right actually means.

I take it this is the first time you've been informed of this?

I am allergic to nuance can you please rephrase this into terms of marvel superheroes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Lol sorry no, I'm out of the loop in regards to marvel.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Right-wing humor is just fear-mongering and prejudice. Left-wing humor is actually funny

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

but, woman thinking, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SO FUCKING FUNNY

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That joke is so old they literally made fun of it in a movie about how repressive the 50's were.
