I hate it when the people who have voted Democrat in the past 3 elections, beg for war in foreign countries, wanted everyone to shove a potentially dangerous vaccine into their bodies and lock yourself in a room for the holidays, and subscribe to every NWO belief in the book, claim that THEY are the "real punks." You're not a punk, you have no real beliefs and are so desperate to be accepted by people that you'll gaslight yourself into tolerating and participating in evil.
@Zergling_man@beardalaxy i heard someone making a weird argument that now that the neolibs are in power, their kids are doing conservative edgy shit, and where the old conservative parents would get mad and call it the devil the neolibs are basically doing the same thing but now its fascism instead
@icedquinn@Zergling_man it used to be the right that censored shit and demonized shit, but it's now the left doing it 100%. they're just way more subversive about it, and instead of just censoring things they're actively changing them to fit their agenda. where an old republican would just want something banned, or take it away, a new democrat will change it to reflect their world view.
from my perspective, the vast majority of my views on things haven't changed. it's the culture that has changed.
@Zergling_man@beardalaxy what do you mean the government doesn't control healthcare and we started an entire goddamn war with the greatest navy on the planet over 3% sales tax
this fucking guy votes for KAMALA HARRIS and then injects elon musk and donald trump into every single live show he does and people are like "wowwwww he's such a real punk!! 😍😍😍"
he's not a punk, he's an industry prostitute playing you like a fiddle.
@beardalaxy@icedquinn@Zergling_man Oh, I am not ashamed of the fact, that I got radicalized. Because I was the "true Star Trek common humanity" believer 15 years ago.
I wish I knew words, that could describe to an average liberal what a total and unfalsifiable rejection of that belief actually was the BLM movement.
@Zergling_man "you can't be punk while being against child gender transition! punks should want MORE men in women's restrooms and locker rooms! ESPECIALLY around children!"
@LukeAlmighty i am a "centrist" but not out of some "everyone should love each other" reddit mindset. i think that's just where i happen to average out because i've got a pretty wide variety of views across the spectrum. perfect example, who tf outside of fedi hates israel while also hating ukraine? :meru_lul:
@LukeAlmighty@Zergling_man@beardalaxy in DS9 there was an episode criticizing the concept they would put a planet under 'lockdowns' because of some shapeshifter threat.
this was before 9/11 and covid-19 and as a product of the 90s people were like wtf is wrong with you this entire concept is megahitler
as i say yesterday's unfathomable treason is today's daily occurrence
@beardalaxy@LukeAlmighty@Zergling_man they have replicators and unreplicators for mining in star trek and thats basically the enabling technology that just up and shuts down all forms of industrial revolution-y capitalism
it's just not possible to maintain if there's absolutely no wagies to exploit
standing armies were a key part of how abusive finance worked too. they literally created entire poll tax schemes in europe solely to pawn the king's army maintenance on to the peasants
that happens in the usa too now where like, you literally can't wallet vote out amazon or goober because every big tech has DOD contracts and you're robbed at gunpoint to finance them through these
@LukeAlmighty@beardalaxy@icedquinn@Zergling_man I used to be a liberal. I thought that we could use the government to improve the lives of everyone. Then covid lockdowns happened and now I don't want to pay any taxes. I also want the government to leave us all alone.
@beardalaxy This is actually the best example of why I don't take the term seriously.
People on the left unironically believe, that I cannot possibly support abortions if I am on the right. And people on the right believe, that noone on the left can be against LGBT cult.
So.... I kinda hate comparing the "come beliefs on both sides", since 1/2 of them are not really so hard connected.
