Honestly this is a shit thread and anyone not pointing out how dumb this is, just strikes me as an obnoxious idiot.
I realize I’ve been making some very centrist leaning points. I don’t think I’m a both sides person and I try to understand many are angry with the side and culture that has enabled Trumpism. I understand there is an argument on the left about how democrats don’t fight back or don’t hold the right accountable.
But I still am someone who believes we aren’t going to get anywhere if we aren’t united. I realize this is a small insignificant thread, but it strikes me about the worst aspect of the left on ree. It is seeing people who they don’t agree with as monsters, irredeemable, unforgiving and not at all empathic. Not even self aware about what you are saying.
I don’t know, it’s just threads like this. The whole CDPR shit, and so on just annoy me.
arguing for some level of reasonable-ness, thoughtfulness, and empathy doesn't make you a centrist
if anything, considering that people who genuinely call for those things seem rare on the right, it makes you more left
you can argue that both sides do and say some awful shit without being a "both-sideser," in the sense that there would be an implied "...therefore they're
equally bad, fuck them both"
they're not equally bad
but self-awareness is fucking important
wanting the other side to be beaten into the dirt and exterminated by force and unable to ever recover is a fascist line of thinking, whichever side you're on
