Curious if anyone has the original Universal Monk comment handy.

    No wonder right leaning instance is just shitposts and memes galore.

    A conservative visiting lemmy would say the exact same thing. The difference in my mind is that right-wing memes mostly leave me thinking, “No one says or believes that. Fuck you on about?”

    Same thoughts I have talking to conservatives IRL. Having only been presented with the most outlandish fruitcakes, they’ve brainwashed into thinking there are legions of fucking nutcase left-wingers out there.

    For left-wingers making fun, yeah, the memes more often reflect what the right actually says and believes.

    (Yes, I’m biased, but I try really hard to be objective.)

      As a budding radical centrist I hate every cuck winger with equal passion. The left however has some merit to protect the minorities and at least in theory aims to reduce inequalities. The far left are bunch of unfunny idiots however

      Internet exclusive breed of far left ohhh these are people that should be branded with red hot iron

        radical centrist

        So… Half-racist? I’m not sure compromising with bigots is something to crow about.

          No. It’s more like hating and bashing everyone equally.
          It is a radical oppression of radicalism and rejection of demented idealism that I deliver in short precision strikes to the unsuspecting.

              I don’t know, but it is always very entertaining. It provides sufficient level to stave off boredom in apotheka queues or waiting for mini paint to dry out

              Internet is PvP CoD mobile without shitty controls. Centrism is like the most funny cheesy class in this digital sandbox of pointless eternal arguments

              As for my real views I guess that would be what makes me the most money and convenience at the moment if I am brutally honest. Some kind of trans matriarchy capital paradise party. Let’s call it technofeminocapitalism? but generally I vote mainstream left out of pragmatic necessity. They don’t care about economic leftism after all so it aligns with my interests and goals considering I am in the upper class after all.

              If I were in the lower class I am not sure if I would vote at all. There seems to be no party that cares about the wage workers

            I can respect that! You and me are closer in spirit than apart, friend. Lemmy loves to say I’m conservative, but I’m actually a socialist. And I voted socialist in the election. Which is what started all of this and why Lemmy is still mad at me.

            Attention Lemmy: Me voting socialist in the election did NOT make Trump win. lol
