No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I'm the opposite. Being a hardcore leftist is a right of passage as a younger person, as I've aged I've discovered nuance and pragmatism.
well, you definitely didn't move right then.
Another example of how people think tugging a lever to have the most extreme leftist positions is the way to properly analyse politics. It's low effort and requires no thought and makes you feel like a good person despite achieving nothing in terms of political change.
remind me again how going apeshit every time you see a trans person requires thought and achieves something?
I don't go apeshit when I see a trans person.
But thanks for assuming that because I disagree vehemently with typical leftist economics and their general tactics that I must be a raging transphobe.
Another example of the lack of nuance I referred to.
Why do you disagree vehemently with leftist economics?
and i didn't pull a lever to get the most extreme far left positions
but thanks for assuming that because i disagree with you
another example of the hypocrisy i referred to
You attacked what you thought my politics was.
What Lemmy wanted me to say was "yeah I'm way more leftist now, more left is good. Left left left." Updoots for everyone. It's fucking sad as fuck.
there's the victim complex again. twitter hates me! Reddit hates me! Lemmy hates me! do you have anything to do besides cry about how everyone didn't start jerking you off for being a rightie?
I'm. Not. A. Rightie. Dickhead.
