Considering the Overton window, there’s also the fact that what is left and right varies from country to country and culture to culture. For example, a centerist in America would be considered right wing when compared to a centrist from Vietnam or Cuba.
Well what is it, goth chicks, thick thighs, or chubby bearded men? Why are you posting so many memes like this with slight variations?
The only people that benefit from antagonizing liberals are fascists. That means that anything you’ve seen in volume to divide people along anything other than class lines is likely propaganda.
Boomers aren’t the problem. Immigrants aren’t the problem. White people aren’t the problem. LGBTQ+ people aren’t the problem.
The problem is our ideology and cultural celebration of individuals that put profits (or anything, for that matter) over the health and safety of people. Never loose sight of the prize, which is first and foremost, changing our culture. We do that by creating a culture that people want to be a part of, which means welcoming all with open arms.
These are my opinions, of course, but considering that the other side is pushing an ideally of death, environmental devastation and inequality, you’d think it’d be easier…
“We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings.”
“I can’t believe you didn’t put me in your top 8 on Myspace!!”
Also, “w00t!!”
Holy shit i didn’t even know this was a thing.
For the amount of danger you’re in driving this thing, I’d rather have a motorcycle.
All that happened? Did the CEO use scroll of resurrect or something?
Could look into the working families party. I like their policies, and they’re building power from the ground up in local elections rather than trying to run a presidential candidate.
I wish it worked this way, I’m so pissed I’d make my way through with my teeth.
“Yes, the USSR performed atrocities, but the fact that the west has as well excuses that.”
It’s not like those are the only two instances of human rights violations by the USSR, and they’re infamous for lying about numbers.
Misery is not s competition. You don’t have to pick sides. There can be more than one violent authoritarian regime in the world, they can all be bad, and you can oppose all of them. There’s really no reason to defend any imperial powers.
I used to be like this, but it was a social anxiety thing. People say wrong and insulting things all the time without loosing friends. The key is keeping an open mind and being willing to admit when you’re wrong. If your intentions weren’t to cause harm, most people will forgive your faux pas.
Haha I was going to say you’re about to get shot in a foreign country.
Maybe we’ll finally wake up and realize this country was not built on good intentions and is operating as intended.
Yeah but it’s a compilation of news stories and the part about bees is relatively short.
Here’s a pretty solid explanation of the problem and how it remains unsolved today, for anyone interested.
This is your friendly reminder that there are more reasons than, “I didn’t feel like it,” for not voting.
We have GOT to stop acting like the non voting population in America country is a monolith, and admit that the problem might be more complex than “lazy, ignorant people.”
TBH, it feels like social media always needed some back door business like this to make it profitable.
Yes you are describing the intent of a boycott.
