- kdjdkcneixj 13d ago> and right wind parties Now I get the racists, but you, quite literally, just boiled down all politics to: left wing parties = good; right wind parties = bad; And, honestly, that’s gotta be the single most childish and naive take anyone could ever make about politics. It’d be funny if it weren’t so sad that you think you’re “fighting big tech” when this is probably the most “I’m a social media junkie” take ever.
- mrlonglong 13d agoTrump is a massive disaster and you come out and say this ? Haaaaaa.
- kdjdkcneixj 13d agoWhat in the… what? Who said anything about Trump? Dude. Seriously. I mean this in the least snarky and rude way possible: try to get off social media.
- mrlonglong 13d agoNo.
- kdjdkcneixj 13d agoFigures.
- mrlonglong 13d agoYou created an identity only an hour ago. Did you just do this to tick me off on this?
- pocksuppet 13d agoIt's good to a first-order approximation. Haven't seen many cases where it fails. You do get right-wing parties pretending to be left-wing (never the reverse) though, like the German one that called itself "worker's socialist"
- idjcjdjdjskdj 13d ago> It's good to a first-order approximation. It… really is not. People thinking in such binary terms (good vs evil) is exactly how we get to where we are today. Nothing is as black and white as it seems to be. Especially politics.
