you drink the left’s koolaid while the right drinks your milkshake.
Who knew?
The centrists knew.
… What the fuck? Is this that ‘anti-woke’ bullshit I keep seeing spewed on late-night talkshows? There’s nobody left in the fucking center. I only partially agree with you - democrats think it sufficient to pound the drums of ranbow-capitalism, when it’s the capitalism part that voters are actually livid about. Apathy doesn’t happen when their ‘emotional reserves’ are run dry or whateverthefuck, it happens when they give up on the democratic party for making actual substantive changes. You think anyone gives a fuck about infrastructure spending when billionaires are running rampant, buying public platforms to manipulate public attention and building toy rockets so they can make-pretend that their astronauts? Fuck no. The fact that they instead spend their media time scaremongering about social issues is secondary to the fact that they’re doing that while the country becomes a playground for the egos of oligarchs. Yes, trans rights are under attack and we should protect them, but that’s not a substitute for addressing the systemic changes that are making everyone miserable.
We see that what the left is doing is ineffectual. We see that what the right is doing is vile. We act on it - actually take action, not protest - in the ways we can, in our own lives.
Lmao is this a parody? Take action in your own life… How? by mowing your fucking lawn? Imagine if the civil rights movement didn’t bother protesting and instead dedicated their time toward… what, emigrating out of their homes in the south? Boycotting the segregated cafes they weren’t allowed into? “Protesting is lame” says the centrist that definitely isn’t over-privileged prick
But it’ll be beyond that - it’ll be hell for you who have ridiculed others instead of growing
Grow into what?? What even is the centrist vision for the democrats? More child tax credits and free vaccination programs? That’s your big vision to defeat fascism? GTFO lmao
boycotting can be effective. But protesting, when not an issue of actually taking action, is largely ineffectual when appealing to a public that already knows and doesn’t generally know what to do, and a government that simply doesn’t care, and has it’s own myriad issues without caring about what the protestors are saying.
The civil rights movement was largely appealing to a moral, uninformed public - not a public that had been inundated with every micro-issue that anyone can come up with, and manipulated to be completely blind to what’s in front of their faces, while both parties lie or get away with grevious wrongs.
You really didn’t bother to find out how much we agree on. If this were war, you would be shooting allies and neutral parties. Aside from that, you put a hell of a lot arguments in my mouth that didn’t come from me, and i’m not really going to bother with them. It’s classical zealotry and bigotry, and you are incapable of seeing it, because you are being it.
It doesn’t matter that you’re technically right about some of what you say. I can come to those conclusions on my own, and act on them, without virtue signaling to you. But the world you would create, if people bought into your way of thinking, is an absolute wreck, because what you have inside is an absolute wreck.
And you want tp play at not knowing what growth is? It doesn’t matter what centrist views are - your growth is your own. You either reach for it, and grow, or pretend you can’t.
I only had to put issues in your mouth because you’ve only spoken in vague generalities and empty platitudes. Go ahead and tell me you support trans and women’s rights and I’d consider listening to whatever actual policies you advocate for.
But if I had to put money to it I would bet you’re a capital-L liberal.
virtue signaling
Ya know, I came out the gate pretty hostile to the OP but I’m seeing what he means now.
I support equal rights all around. That means people can do whatever the fuck they want tp do with their own bodies and their own lives, and it doesn’t matter one whit to me what a person’s gender, sex, religion, or whatnot is. Trans people and women should have the same rights as any other fucking human. Not more, and not less.
The person’s actions and attitude towards the world are their biggest impact, and the metric by which I judge which associations to keep in my life. … not their gender or any other category. Demanding extra rights because you’re male, female, white, black, cis, trans, gay, straight, etc will fall on deaf ears for me. Asking to be heard because you’re hurt won’t.
But if you use your pain as an excuse to assume the worst about others, while trying to come off as being a good person, I’ll continue to say this:
