Lmao yes, arbitrary generational divides are exactly the same as political divides over who should be allowed to live and thrive in a society. It's easy to say "let's all chill and live as a community" if you’re not among the people that the right wants to remove from existence. And even if you’re not, how could you bring yourself to hang out with hateful fucks who would put you on a kill list without a second thought if you were a little darker or a little more neurodivergent?
Trust, nobody wants to just chill and live as a community more than leftists. That's our whole deal. But as long as capitalism and it's immune response called fascism exist, everyone outside it (and those of us inside it too) must fight for their survival or be subsumed.
What you're talking about are extremists. Nobody in their right mind would live in a community with them. What I was trying to say is, that labeling people "leftist", "right-wing" and any of the other names does more harm than good.
There are currently around a hundred thoudand people in concentration camps at the souther border. As of 2018, the DHS reported that they had "lost" 1,488 children. The FBI itself, years ago, published concerns about nazi inflliltration of police and federal organizations. US police forces contain an entire ecosystem of cop gangs, many of which are nazi. These same police forces operate blacksites and execute civil rights organizers. We are currently sending another several billion dollars of weaponry to arm guys with sonnenrad and swastika tattoos. What the fuck have you been smoking if you think the mainstream isn't extremist.
I do think the mainstream is extremist.
how can you identify extremists if you're not supposed to talk about people's politics? how can you even tell what constitutes extremism? this is such a "let's get back to brunch" take.
Just consume product and get excited about next product.
No it doesn't. Ideology is real. Pretending it doesn't exist is also Ideology.
Increasingly rare

Ironic. He could save others from their unexamined ideology... but not himself.

Yes, because more often than not, the sticker fits, like right now for smug bootlicking centrists like yourself.
Here, have this sticker.
The smiley doesn't hide your reactionary rage.
bad take
Let's live like a community.
Unless you're gay or trans or non-religious. While you're doing community activities with me, I'm going to spend every other waking moment trying to get your human rights taken away.
But when I have time, we'll schedule some of those community things.
Careful. Hexbear caught your scent.
Now you'll get a whole bunch of them replying to you nonstop for a couple of days.
Lmao either stop having shitty opinions or shut up and stop sharing them with everyone.
It's that simple.
