Inb4 centrists "that's unfairly reductive! That's not what we're saying!"
I think I hate centrists the most.
While I find centrists to be the most frustrating, I hate the bigots the most.
Nah, hate the right the most, but don't let people try to invalidate your right to feel frustrated with status quo sluggishness
I hate the fascists the most followed closely by their enablers. It's nitpicking, but the centrists can be easily manipulated into choosing the middle ground between Democrats and Progressives, so it makes them somewhat useful if you can swing things a bit.
People can disagree on policy - on values, though? On values, someone who disagrees with me can fuck right off. Human rights and democracy, please.
I'm done with democracy and propose a new form of government:
Once a month, there's a giant parade and everyone who has an idea gets to put together their own float/performance; best entries get governmental positions based on ranking. Anytime there's a disagreement, each team will debate by presenting their argument while completing challenges from '90s-'00s Nickelodeon game show challenges; chatGPT will rate which argument is the most cohesive and assign percentages and then the time differences will be added to each team to determine final scores.
Finally, if anyone is caught cheating or trying to create fascism, their entire parade team gets eaten alive by all of the other parade teams. Only people willing to eat others alive or get eaten alive are allowed to be politicians.
It used to be that every group in New New York wanted their own parade. Why, when I was a boy, we had a parade every day. Those were dark times.
Can't violate human rights if they are sub-human
And this is why speciesism is a root cause of so much human-on-human oppression. People unquestionably accept the premise that it's ok to exploit/murder/etc non-human sentient beings, so dehumanizing certain groups is incredibly effective at getting people to be ok with abusing them. If we rejected non-human abuse as well, there would be no incentive to dehumanize each other
I mean, you sort of have an argument there. But that's also a really huge leap: "If we can't stop people from refusing to value other people, let's just get them to value every living thing."
If you're at point A on the line, you're going to have to get to point B before you get to points C, D, or E.
Nah, I only eat grazers, and actually don't devalue them for it. Vegans technically qualify but it's too much of a bother to make sure they're kosher.
And then conservatives parrot "wow I can't believe you say mean words to me just because we have a tiny difference of opinion on whether or not you should be allowed to exist."
Some things are not debatable. That's kinda what the Constitution is about.
That's debatable. Anything that has to be manually enforced can't be assured unless there's someone to enforce it.
Its also debatable because amendments exist.
Amendments even exist to undo previous amendments.
This would get likes on Lemmy and Truth Social.
Reminds me of
this optical illusion except both answers to the illusion are correct.Everything else aside, that is a hideous flag
It really has become too much imo. It's not my flag so really I don't want it to change because of my thoughts, but I feel like objectively as a flag it has become way too complex. That and the fact that it's continuously changing still makes it all the more confusing.
I am gay, and I approve this message.
I literally can’t tell the difference between these two extremists!
-centrists most of the time
Seems like y'all hate centrists very much, so I'll just proudly say my centrist opinion here. Obviously they should have rights. No buts.
(Yes to butts)
now imagine the Palestinian flag on that hat
Now imagine a green penquin on a purple horse.
I believe I should have rights
Well there's your problem. This belief thing is a matter of subjective opinion. Objectively speaking, nobody has rights. The universe doesn't give a shit about our rules and self-imposed limitations. So any rights you want, you have to make people agree within our microcosmos. Anything beyond that is just raw violence.
Literally the fascist viewpoint btw
No. It's not. Fascists believe the world is running a giant conspiracy against them, that they are unfairly prosecuted no matter if the evidences suggest otherwise. So by that, contrary to what you believe, they belive in the possession of an inherent right, albeit often tied to an esoterical religious or pseudo scientific reason like God or the color of your skin. They also belive you don't have, or don't deserve to the same rights because you are the conspiracy against them.
Fascists believes in fantasy. And what he is saying is an observable historical reality. Complete deferent thing. You cannot have rights if you cannot defend them. Black people would not be freed without civil war, workers would not have 8 hours work day and weekends without union. Every societal progress we had made is through force unrelenting. It is force, and sometime ultra violence, that we are able to secure our God damn rights.
What are the rights that they are having withheld from them?
