Why are Americans so focused on left vs right? Both parties are fascists they're just trying to take away different rights for the time being.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Bear in mind that the US' main parties do not define the extent of Left and Right.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I am well aware of that.

Yeah the good guys are the centrists who want to continue the status quo: grind the poor people, make them pay fortunes for basic needs while making the rich richer.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

sigh because that's definitely what I said

Oh right you are talking about the Dem vs Rep and not left vs right. I totally misunderstood you.

I'm so fed up with enlightened centrists that I judged you wrongly. My bad.

All good mate.

What rights are the left trying to take away?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

2A right to privacy right to freedom of association

Keep in mind when I say left I mean the Democrats

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I know you mean democrats, but that would be incorrect about the second amendment and freedom of association.

Where'd you read that?

The blues have been spearheading the attempts to strip gun rights away for a decade. They're the reason the ATF felt so comfortable changing rules randomly to turn millions of Americans into felons overnight. The most agregious recent example is the legality of arm braces. Although to be fair that gung ho attitude never changed when the reds were in office. Theyre more than content to let it happen.

I did mispeak about freedom of association however. Turns out that's also being spearheaded by the reds.

Yeah, but you're also wrong about the gun rights. They're trying to enact sensible laws, not strip gun rights.

The most [egregious] recent example is the legality of arm braces.

It's not egregious, that's called a sensible conversation.

Why do gun fanatics need these types of guns anyway? What are you hunting, dragons? It's so cringe to me when gun enthusiasts get all upset about responsible gun laws - they just want to shoot everything and anything with the most firepower they can acquire. God forbid they have to earn the right to own such a weapon.

Trying to apply justifications to the stripping of rights does not change the fact the rights are being eroded. Also if you think it's okay to make millions of people felons overnight by the whim of unelected bureaucrats then this conversation clearly will go nowhere. Have a good day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

make millions of people felons overnight

Also wrong. I knew you were going to spout some far right bullshit propaganda.

Here, take some time to educate yourself.

Listen up people - it is okay to evolve our laws as we evolve as people. No one needs a fucking AR-15, and if you do, it should be regulated.

To bear arms.

Also nobody seems interested in male reproductive rights.

Also, have you seen how leftist moderators here on Lemmy behave?

To bear arms.

No they're not.

Also nobody seems interested in male reproductive rights.

Okay, I'll bite. Like what?
