Omg so shocking politicians are corrupt ass hats who literally exist in a different class than the rest of us.

Sounds like you’ve just always been a rube. So are you going further left or just voting for the people who literally tell you they don’t care?

English reading, among others.

Not sure what you mean. Reddit is like ignorant liberal mecca. So many corporate dem supporters there that would much rather engage in (an endless void of culture war nonsense) gender politics than class politics. The liberals that don’t even realize they’re right of center and that being offended for someone doesn’t make them a progressive or a leftist (or even a good person). They also love the aid to Ukraine. Clownshow.

Edit: looks like lemmy.world is next in line to be ignorant liberal mecca.

I don’t really like talking about my office days…

I’m not sure what led you to believe that I think I’m a victim of anything other than western propaganda, something I have in common with 99.9% of Americans.

99% of what I see regarding this topic is either straight up war propaganda or people who are unabashedly unafraid to let others know that they are totally ignorant of post WW2 geo politics.

Anything other than “DAE just love Ukraine and that charismatic Zelensky! 😍😍” gets down voted to oblivion. Its classic Red Scare 1980’s bullshit lol. Even now I’m sure most who read this are scrambling for the down vote button because they think I’m some sort of Russian shill/supporter simply based off the fact that I’m not fellating the West’s efforts.

Hey there!

Looks like you had a moderate, down to earth take on the Russia-Ukraine war.

That’s a down vote.

But seriously thanks for not attending to the feedback loop of propaganda and childish dick stroking.

Yes. And if someone asks me to guess the length of an object I will give centimetres, and refuse to translate to inches and their stupid fractions.

Some proud neckbeard shit right here. “Fuck communicating effectively with people. They don’t even know I only use the metric system!”

But yeah, got em… I guess.

Or you know, the workers work for themselves instead of the billionaire class. Too much nuance though right?

What the fuck, this has nothing to do with mental illness lmao

Say it slowly with me

Some

Just

Shit.

There doesn’t need to be a diagnosis or reason.

All of this is drivel. None of your situations or theoreticals make any sense. You are so politically confused.

nothing eliminates people’s natural tendencies to be exclusionary.

If this was your entire argument you could have just said it. Now we can just disagree on this one pivotal point and move on. People aren’t inherently racist or “exclusionary.”

Look up the paradox of tolerance. It’s not about ideas, it’s about the battle of “free speech” and how tolerating everything leads to nazism/fascism, if it’s prevelent enough in a society. Not all speech should be protected, basically. If you agree to let nazis have their platform as a right then you will lose to them in the end.

Yeah, me too. I like my nazis right where they can get their message out the most and have the most success at growing the cause /s

Liberal trash-think like this is so weak to fascism.

You’re talking to a leftist, not someone on the right, champ.

Call them the derogatory term that they are: Capitalists.

Maybe it gives them more cover when they’re putting mag after mag into an unarmed black guy who is running away?
