Right wingers when someone left of centre appears: I don’t think you’re right but you make valid points on xyz

I wish I lived in your fantasy world.

You can’t complain about how splintered the political landscape is without ditching the “us vs them” mentality and finding common ground

Watch me. Right wingers have been taking steps backwards every time a compromise is made with them for as long as I can remember. The only common ground remaining is that we’re all mortal.

Hard agree. I used to think he was just strictly a dick, but his introspection and growth shows he’s really honestly been thinking about things with as much empathy as he can muster.

Tough talk from a UK instance chud named “free opinions” who hides behind phrases like “rational argument” and “unpopular opinions” to say heinous shit.

This is a freshman CS/IT major’s attempt at humor. Most of us learn and grow out of it and/or get the memes right, but Elon isn’t smart and isn’t actually capable of understanding how stupid this looks

“Elon Musk said…”

NTY, I do not want to live where Ohio is.

You could lie about Joe Rogan to Joe Rogan’s face. He’ll even nod his empty bald little head while you do it before taking another toke and injecting ivermectin into his eyeballs or something

I definitely didn’t handle myself well in response to this either, so please give yourself some grace. The amount of cis people who were trying to assert that disrespecting drag’s identity was the right thing to do was huge and wildly disappointing. It’s hard to call any of them allies. I’ve been blocking a bunch as well.

My interactions with people complaining about this rule led me to delete my .world account and dust this one off from way back when I first joined Lemmy and was trying to figure things out. Regardless of the behavior of a person, I staunchly will never purposefully misgender them/use the wrong pronouns. If I do it to someone else, then I’m telling the world that it’s okay to dismiss anyone’s identity given the right justification. And that’s patently wrong and shitty.

I’d rather be part of an instance that protects identity, that is made for minorities and those who are often abused by the heteronormative world. Thank you for enforcing this and making a space where I can feel safe as a trans woman.
