    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.

          Why is it always about age with you guys? part of the reason I’m like this is because I’ve seen so many disappointing democrats in my life, starting with Clinton. If anything I was more of a liberal as a kid and grew out of it once I learned how the world worked.

        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.

          I cut ties with pretty much everyone in my life who was not willing to gender me correctly. That’s not seething, it’s me protecting myself from having to deal with their bullshit. I’m here in a lib online space as a leftist not because I “like” conservatives, but because I dislike when liberals act like conservatives.

          It’s really a grand irony to be getting accused of being a republican because I have left-wing critiques of democrats and express disappointment in them.
