Ah yes, wanting honest discourse and a bit less divisive language obviously makes me either republican… or a bot… wow… now, not entire unexpected for a reaction if you dare speak up in an echochamber…
I would love though to hear your reasoning about why i possible couldn’t be a real human left wing :). This gonna be good :).
Wow, some slight critisism about this meme and it gets removed?
…
And for misinformation no less, that was the reason given.
Can someone help a poor lemming and point to the “misinformation” that warrants the following remark to get deleted?
I’m very open to dialogue :)
“It’s not that i don’t get the sentiment, but these extremely biased posts don’t really add much to the discussion either -_-…
If we’re gonna go with the worst of what’s claimed about the right wing, shouldn’t you contrast it with the worst of what is claimed about the left wing? “One side wants to bring back slavery, nazis, fascism, and women not being allowed to vote or own property. The other side just wants to let foreigners invade our country, and let them rape our women and children.”
This post returns here every month or so, and i really hate it. I kind of get the sentiment obviously, but this “lets put the worst things claimed about the others be contrasted to the best things we think about ourselves”, are just preaching for the choir, and just sowing extra division in an already extremely divided world.
You know that what you claim about the right may have some truth, but is far from the accepted position. And you also know there are equally bad claims about the left from the right, that also have some truth in them… I wish this was the last time i’d see this silly post here, but that’s wishful thinking i guess…”
I love how everyone is offended, but can’t even write out why XD. But fair enough, if you guys just want to preach to the choir, have fun :).
(and no, i’m not even saying that democrats " let foreigners invade our country, and let them rape our women and children.", just that if you use the worst stereotype about the republicans, you can at least put it opposite the worst stereotype of democrats. You know, make a fair comparison, not your worst stereotype about “the others” versus what we like about ourselves.)
They’re probably more tolerant of posts and comments that exaggerate the harms perpetrated by Republicans than similar posts about Democrats because the stuff Republicans actually do is really fucking evil, and voting for Democrats is the only viable way to stop it, and it seems like you want to discourage this by drawing a false equivalency. But you already know this, concern troll.
I had to look up concern troll, it’s apparently an evil kind of devils advocate.
And how is what i posted (comparing the worst what is said about republicans with the worst that is said about democrats) a false equivalency, but this post that compares the worst of one side with the best of the other side not?
All i’m saying is making this kind of false equivalencies just weakens your position. From what i can tell it’s indeed obvious the real fucking evil that’s happening in the USA (i’m from europe, so i of course have to go by what i can see & read online).
So it should be freakin easy to make your point without silly posts like this that are such an obvious false equivalence that it’s imo just pathetic.
But having standards for the communication of the side i prefer is a thought crime here it seems? And i’m then somehow accused of the exact thing the original post is doing and that i’m complaining about. So you find false equivalencies an issue, but don’t see an issue with the post here?

You… are either a bot or a Republican

like… wow… really really really… wow…
Actually, I believe you. This seems more like autistic pedantry than malice.
It kind of says a lot about this place that some slight pedantry is immediately viewed as malice…
And this meme is still terrible :p
