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.

[-] mathematicalMagpie@lemm.ee 89 points 10 months ago

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

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 43 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

the dogshit stupid takes i see in this community are just proving that nobody here has actually ever encountered a centrist

[-] orrk@lemmy.world 37 points 10 months ago

please do tell me about your mythical centrist

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 24 points 10 months ago

This comment does not inspire confidence in your willingness to actually read it.

I haven’t encountered many unicorns either, just horses with ice cream cones on their head. Still looking though.

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

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

[-] zurohki@aussie.zone 22 points 10 months ago

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.

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

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

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

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.

Lets be honest with ourselves, half of the left is in support of the genocide happening is gaza. have seen this in both US left. and just as much in German, UK, Dutch left parties. only the French left has somewhat of a push back against that, France seems to be the only western country to still have genuine left factions among its left parties.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 49 points 10 months ago

Liberals aren't leftists, Clyde. They are literally the centrists (ie, confused right-wingers) the meme is referring to.

Which centrists actually support any amount of genocide?

[-] bobthened@feddit.uk 23 points 10 months ago

Plenty of centrist liberals support Israel's "war against Hamas". US president Joe Biden and the Democratic party for example.

Extremists be like "You're either with me or against me!"

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'm an extremist when the issue is "should we do a genocide".

On the "no" side, to be clear. I will indeed not accept any answer other than that one.

Right: Let's cut off our Dicks.

Left: Let's not cut off our Dicks.

Center: Guys, your going to have to compromise, let's just do some dick cutting.

Right: I guess I can live with that for now.

Left: No.

Center: See, this is why no one likes the left, you guys are the real extremists, smh

[-] sleepy555@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

E: Every down vote without discussion just proves my point even more. You're all in a cult.

Nah, both sides suck for different reasons.

Most situations have more choices than the two you are often presented with. For example, who is in the right, Hamas or Israel? Neither of them. They're both trying to justify killing innocent people because the other side killed innocent people.

In the meme, a centrist would obviously agree with the Democrat. If it were flipped and the Democrat were saying some equally off the wall thing, they'd side with the Republican. They've both become extremist versions of what they once were and the other side points out the obvious insanity and gets to feel smug about their low hanging trophy. And dumbass people from both sides eat it up.

Why do you think people are clinging to the center despite all the weird hate against it? They don't want to be associated with either side. Both sides get some things right and some things wrong. Yet, we're expected to take them as a package deal, because politics have become cult like.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

Now do healthcare as a right and abortion. Where's the compromise?
