I miss the days before identity politics when it was still possible to keep political pandering and normal life stuff separate, and just enjoy my grill. But now if you use meat on the grill, you're pandering to the right. If you use soy or lab grown vegan meat substitutes you're pandering to the left. And thanks to the inflation both cost too much.
I'm with you on net neutrality. I have no problem with women doing what they want with their own bodies, it's the child's body I'm worried about. I'm not a huge fan of the healthcare system either, I just think giving "free" healthcare to illegal aliens and putting the government in charge of it will make things worse and not better. Honestly not sure what you're on about with the violent attacks thing, but I've seen plenty of calls for violence from prominent leftists, and the "summer of love" 3 years ago destroyed quite a bit.
But either way, I'm not a "muh both sides" centrist. To the contrary, I think the media is trying to distract both of us sides from the real enemy: moderates.
You ever looked at Twitter, or Lemmy for that matter? The left is every bit as bitter and angry if not more so. Currently both sides (or at least significant portions of them) think the other is in power and responsible for all their problems, and it's the media's job to keep us thinking that way.
Simple. If you name it, you don't eat it. Also, most carnivores taste terrible so we avoid eating those.
