    I remember that your comments always focus on criticizing Democrats and Democrats alone.

      What do you mean? I just don’t comment on Republicans because threats of violence get removed

      Also there was more aggressive pro-democrat posters, so it usually escalates when I do stuff like pointing out that Obama is a warmonger just like every other US politician.

          It’s okay to criticize Democrats

            It is NOT okay to exclusively criticize Democrats and then claim you’re not a Republican. That’s called lying, and lying is bad.

              It’s not lying, our two party system means you focus on the one that is closer to you. Why would I waste my breath trying to tell Republicans that bigotry is wrong, when I can instead pressure Democrats to do more about bigotry?

                Abuser ideology. “I only attack you because I want to make you better!”

                  You’re fucked in the head if you think everyone that disagrees with you is an abuser. Democrats can do better, and putting that energy into the world is a good thing.

                  You’re a partisan hack that cares more about winning points than helping people.

          I don’t think you understand the nature of my critique. Republicans suck ass, and it enrages me that democrats will only pretend to oppose wars when it’s Republicans in power

            To stop this citizen’s united, the electoral college, FPtP, and winner takes all need to go. But getting your average American to talk about civics and constitutional law is like teaching a raccoon to type.

        Must not have a very good grasp of your opinions if you can’t talk about the opposition without threats of violence. Or you’re not playing in good faith and just trying to rile up people by pointing out the warmongering nature of the US instead of having a real point.

                An anarchist who can only talk intelligently against Democrats and only speaks in ‘threats of violence’ to republicans, meaning you can’t talk about them and only attack democrats and sees the Democrats as opposition and not republicans.

                Seems legit.

                Edit: just saw you’re on .ml, so yeah, you’re ‘an anarchist’ and hate democrats, no wonder you can’t speak against republicans LOL.

                  Like what do you want me to say about republicans? they’re pretty much always car brained, incapable of having a nuanced understanding of the world around them, misogynist, transphobic, jingoistic.

                  Many of these can also be said of some Democrats, but it’s far more the rule for republicans.

                  I get annoyed at democrats for their failure, because they pretend to be better.

                    So we have people that are complacent in their beliefs and are inundated with hate from their media feeds. People of the past arent equipped for the disinformation age; its not that surprising. What stands out to me is that the hateful narrative exists, and is so successful at dividing people.

                    So what do we do? Is there any particular gain by seething over a general population of people? They arent inherently bad… people at large reduce meaning and memeify things so the mental load is lighter. Its a problem on lemmy and its a problem for the majority of people living. They want to care about the right things but they are missing guidance. There used to be a more cohesive narrative that people trusted which is now gone now.
