The Comfort of False Equivalence
There’s a seductive kind of cowardice masquerading as wisdom in modern discourse: the insistence that all extremes are created equal. It’s what allows the centrist to shrug and say, “Well, both sides are dangerous,” as though morality and method exist on a balanced scale, and history is simply a record of shared mistakes. For MAGA, this rhetorical laziness isn’t just useful. It’s strategic.

    So you literally are both sidesing right now. Lmao. Focus on your own rightward shifting politics instead of pretending to be an expert on what is happening in a country you know nothing about.

          Hoo boy, you sure showed me! Damn, I’m never coming back from that one, a zinger clearly birthed by an American education. You’re right - your thoughtless regurgitation of American propaganda is absolutely superior.

          Thank you for reminding me why I left that cesspit.
