Lmao my man here thinks that the American democratic party is leftist, that’s hilarious.
Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme
LudwigVonPseudonym@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoJust because someone calls out another person’s bad behaviour, that does not equate to supporting a dictatorial, or similarly controlling, leadership.
Hard disagree. Far-left-wingers would absolutely start jacking themselves off at the idea of someone being fined by a bot the moment they used a word like “retard” or “cocksucker” in conversation, and there’s no way you can convince me differently at this point.
The dystopian Demolition Man future that left-wingers want might not be as awful as the Cyberpunk 2077 future that right-wingers want, but it’s still not a future I want to live in.
The funny thing is, the majority of you folks on the left are utterly convinced you are the “good guys”. You aren’t. You’re just the lesser of two evils, which is the only reason I vote Democrat at all.

^ Translation from Clueless to English: “I am too clueless to figure out that LudwigVonPseudony is referring specifically to US politics and not global politics”.
Yes, yes, we all know American Democrats are fucking center-right to the rest of the world, and you aren’t as smart as you think you are for pointing that out. Now sit down.

What I’m trying to say, oh wise seer, is that you’re voting in accordance to your political views, except the only thing you’d love to see change is democrats becoming as much of edgelord losers as republicans.
‘now sit down’ lmao do you think you sound like a tough guy? Is that what your bullies used to say or something?

Oh hey there, I don’t have skin in this part of the comments - just want to say I’m stealing “Is that what your bullies used to say.” Savage as hell.

First of all, screw the Democrats they are not left wing. They are center right shitlibs, with a few milqtoast standouts like Bernie and AOC.
Second. You correctly look at democrats and see they are just Republicans lite, but your mistake is in thinking that going further left leads to greater power to the state to curtail speech, thought, and action. The left wants liberation. Economic and social. The power of government to celurtail speech is not liberation, it’s oppression.

What have far left (or far right, or even centrist) politics got to do with it? This is about what’s socially acceptable. Yes that feeds into politics and left/right/centre opinions, but I’m not discussing politics (nor was the person you replied to). Which ties in with my first comment that you’re combining politics with social issues erroneously.
Ultimately abuse is, abuse, is abuse, no matter how you dress it up.

Oh my god stop being a fucking retard, calling someone a ‘cocksucker’ or a ‘retard’ on it’s own isn’t necessarily “abusive”. Can it be? Yes. But not always.
This is about what’s socially acceptable.
And in case you didn’t figure it out? You Democrats and left-wingers lost that battle on what’s ‘socially acceptable’.
You lost to a fucking con-man, a felon, and a grifter. People chose that over you. And so far, very few of you have taken any time to sit and think about what you might have been doing wrong to cause that to happen.
Like I’ve said before, you Democrats and left-wingers love to think yourselves the “good guys”.
You aren’t.
You are just the lesser of two evils, and it would highly fucking behoove you to figure out why so many Americans view you as the “lesser of two evils” instead of a party actually worth voting for.

One thing I agree with you on is that it isn’t necessarily always abuse, however the original post is about that group of friend’s chat, which I believe is abusive in nature from what has been shared (and hence why so many people have disowned them) and which you turned into (and are still rambling on about) some political somethingor another…

Again, this has nothing to do with politics.

You know nothing about my political beliefs so are shouting into thin air. (I’m not even from the US so can’t even ‘be’ a Dem! Oh boy.)

This has nothing to do with politics, did I say that already?!

Theory? It’s just vibes-based politics with these people. They don’t actually think lol

And I think you Democrats need to figure out why you keep losing elections.

As an outsider whose overton window isn’t calibrated to US norms, it’s because the “Democrats” aren’t anything like left wing, same as “Labour” in the UK.
They’re both neoliberal centre-right parties masquerading as left wing for votes.
What you appear to be deeply emotionally connecting to “left wing” is simply authoritarianism, which is neither left or right, and exactly the playbook Trump is reading from.
You would be well served to read some political theory explainers that aren’t US based. It may open your eye to exactly how hard you’re about to be fucked over the barrel by those that are supposed to be serving you, not themselves. 💛
