Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Oh, look... a "centrist" has shown up to lick boots in public.
Yawn.
Not that there's anything wrong with being a centrist, but for the record, I'm a 70's/80's liberal. But you do you (for real, or for the /s's).
So you've always been a right-winger. No surprises here.
Yes, there is. Lots. If you are "in-between" two right-wing ideology you are still a right-winger - ie, an apologist for and/or functionary of powerful elites.
I guarantee you that a 70's/80's right-winger would not consider a 70's/80's liberal a right-winger.
Personally I'm still pissed off at Reagan for calling ketchup a food group.
That's a very narrow and unwise way to see the reality of things, but again, you do you. But I got to warn you, raw rage won't fix things, it just destroy things.
Centrists are citizens too, and your blind anger can't magically make them disappear. We need consensus on things that all citizens can agree to, and abide by.
Do you always defer your opinion to right-wingers? What a "centrist" thing to do - and I wish I was being sarcastic.
Considering that you, up until now, didn't understand how deeply your world-view has been dictated by right-wing ideology, perhaps it's best that you don't throw words such as "narrow" and "unwise" around too much, okay?
Neither does appeasement - no matter how you justify it.
So are serial rapists and parasite billionaires. What's your point?
No thanks... I'm not comfortable with slavery and genocide - no matter how you justify it.
You're definately on a mission, I'll give you that. lol
Aren't we all?
Some moreso than others. 😜
