So…. Is it ALL of Lemmy that’s bOtH siDeS now, or just certain parts of it. I’d like to know if it’s time to go back to Reddit.
Most lemmy instances are overwhelmingly leftist. If you're a leftist, democrats and republicans are to the right of you. So, it's less "both sides" and more "these two things are on the same side, which is to the right of me."
That makes a lot of sense. It’s deeply misguided and dangerous, but it makes sense.
"it's misguided and dangerous to recognize that the good cop and the bad cop are both cops and both want the same thing from you" bruh wat
You are free to feel about that perspective however you like, but I personally (and I'd imagine there are others who feel the same) find the idea that you can't criticize a major political block if you also criticize its opposition to be itself misguided and dangerous.
In what way is it misguided? Why are you on an anticapitalist platform instead of the Capitalist one, Reddit, if you don't agree with leftist structures?
Surely the thought occurred to you that Reddit went to shit because it's a Capitalist structure, and the things that protect Lemmy from that are the rejections of Capitalism?
Til criticizing democrats is centrist
Rofl… you think this kid is a democrat?
?? What kid are you talking about? Are you following your leader and going senile or something? Literally just saying how according to you and other liberals any sort of criticism of democrats is the same as saying both sides are exactly the same
Calling one’s self a vegetarian whilst eating a ribeye doesn’t make one a vegetarian.
I’m done arguing with you kids.
You and the child I blocked are clearly socialists. You don’t get to switch to being democrats when the argument suits you. And no- before you think to say more stupid shit…
They’re not the same thing.
Blocking you too, as your comment history shows you have nothing of value to add to this discussion. And for the record:
You and those like you are FAR worse than trumpers. Because at least they’re ignorant enough to not know how badly they’re fucking their own country.
You CHOSE to.
I never claimed to be a democrat xD you should take boomer's advice and cope
man that's a hilariously knee-jerk take, with zero effort toward understanding the people you're demonizing.
I think Reddit is the place for you, after all. Slide on into that easy-to-grok, oversimplified, politically narrow US overton window safe space and consume the partisan garbage there to your heart's content. We like thinking over here.
Naaah. You like protesting with inaction over here. You don’t like the choices, you take your vote and go home only…. That’s not how it works in the real world.
You don’t vote- you get trump. It WILL be your fault.
Meanwhile Biden has continued most Trump-era policies, almost like this red vs blue garbage is just that. We'll have fascism either way, enjoy your sheeplike complicity.

... just in case someone missed this part.
Just this tokenboomer guy posting stuff like this. I swear on this sub, any time it's a crazy "but muh both sides" post, it's this dude. Idk if a troll or a plant or a true believer. But it's just so aggressively something that it does stand out as odd.
Believe the Noble Lie.
Good to know. I’ll just block him.

I figured I’d wait to see what you’re about before I blocked your ass.
Got all I need to know. You’re going to cringe HARD when you grow up. Hope you still have friends when that happens, it it’s going to suck for you.
Lol… I’m 62. I grew up and became a socialist.
