Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about “I can’t use muh slurs, this is awful.”

“The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media.” /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn’t far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they’re lying, they’re too stupid to figure out lemmy.

    Why, because political discussions are more concerned with complaining about a flawed system - AKA a flawed group of people erroneously granted too much power - than it is actually about solving problems.

    i’d be interested in why you feel these essentially exclude each other. at least personally, i think they tend to go hand in hand.

      Sure, obviously change happens when it is forced upon you, someone becomes fed up enough about the status quo to do something about. I agree, complaining is literally the step of identifying a problem, which only then it can be solved.

      To give an anology, political talk to me is a lot like trying to learn a language by arguing over its syntax. It is easy to caught up in rules, what is allowed and what is wrong, coming up with theories that will predict sentences, instead of listening to people who actually speak it.

      It just seems to me that for a lot of people the argument is the appeal.
